Chapter 57: This Calamity Was Meant to Be

Having left Xu Henshui's residence, Zhang Sheng parted ways with Ji Liuli and hurried away. Zhang Sheng felt guilty about the matter and did not wish to linger with Ji Liuli.

After they separated, Ji Liuli ascended a serene mountaintop and arrived at a small courtyard at the peak, where the courtyard door opened by itself.

In the courtyard sat a young Daoist. He appeared youthful, even younger than Ji Liuli. Holding a scroll of ancient texts in his hands, he put it down when he saw Ji Liuli entering, and asked, "In trouble again?"

"Of course not!"

The young Daoist looked surprised. "It's been three months since anyone came to complain about you! Did something go wrong with your cultivation?"

Ji Liuli replied, "I've been refining Wei Yuan's foundation during this period, but the more I refined, the more doubts I had. I couldn't find answers in the classics, so I had to consult the ancestor master."
