Chapter 404 - The First Players To Ascend

A few moments later, Song Ling’er sat down in a room with Long Yijun sitting behind his work desk.

"So where is Disciple Yuan?" Song Ling’er asked.

"He’s currently inside the Dragon Temple," he said casually.

One would expect Long Yijun to keep the Dragon Temple a secret since there are clearly plenty of valuable treasures inside. However, the Dragon Temple has been widespread knowledge for ages now.

"The Dragon Temple? Since when?" Song Ling’er said.

"A couple of minutes ago," he said.

"..."

Song Ling’er was speechless. If only she’d come to this place a day early— even a few hours early, she might’ve been able to speak with Yuan.

"Now that you know about his whereabouts, you may leave this place."

"Hmph. Then I will stay here until he comes out." Song Ling’er said, surprising him.

"What? You’re going to stay here until he returns? It might be weeks before he comes out! As the Sect Master of one of the top ten sects in the Lower Heaven, don’t you have better things to do than chase someone who has already rejected you?" Long Yijun said to her.

Song Ling’er looked at his desk that was filled with papers and sneered, "Unlike you, I finish all of my work before I decide to do anything. The Mystic Realm just ended, so I have plenty of time to spare."

"And speaking of the Mystic Realm, your sect only obtained its place because of Disciple Yuan. I cannot wait to see the look on your face after the next one."

Long Yijun smiled and said, "No need to push your anger on me just because you were rejected by a junior."

"Y-You little!" Song Ling’er was immediately aggravated by his comeback.

"Hmph. I did not come here to argue with you. I am here to take Disciple Yuan with me."

Long Yijun shook his head and said, "What makes you think he’ll join your sect? He even refused to go to the Spirit Heaven with Senior Nie, you know?"

"I know. I was there when it happened," she said, and she continued, "If he’d gone with Senior Nie to the Spirit Heaven, I would have given up. But the fact that he decided to stay in the Lower Heaven means I still have a chance."

"Keep dreaming." Long Yijun laughed.

And then he continued, "Anyways, if you’re not going to leave, you can go ahead and wait for as long as you’d like. In the end, it’s Disciple Yuan’s decision whether he wants to follow you or not. I would love to have him as a core disciple in the Dragon Essence Temple, but I know he won’t stay with us for long. Perhaps after the Dragon Temple, he will leave the sect. This place is too small for someone like him."

"Then I shall wait for him outside the Dragon Temple," she said.

"Do whatever you want." Long Yijun shrugged.

Normally, Long Yijun wouldn’t act so carefree before the Sect Master of another sect, but he has known Song Ling’er for a very long time now, and while they were not friends, they were not enemies either.
