Chapter 689: Chapter 689: Are You Still Waiting for Him? (Second Update)
Tang Xuan’er blinked her eyes, a curious sensation washing over her, “Jade Pure Freedom Scripture? Sounds kind of strange. But this is cultivation, isn’t it? It doesn’t seem too difficult either!”
Xue An found it difficult to contain his laughter. Of course, Tang Xuan’er couldn’t feel the difficulty because how many others had the aid of a master like Xue An when they cultivated?
But he still nodded and smiled, “Yeah, I told you it’s not that difficult, didn’t I?”
“Hehe, just teasing you, I know you’re helping me, thank you!” Tang Xuan’er said earnestly.
Xue An smiled, “I know you were teasing too, so I was just saying it casually as well.”
Then both of them burst into laughter.
“Xue An, you seem to have changed a lot, but also seem unchanged. At least when you slack off, there’s no difference from when we were in school!”
“Can I take that as a compliment?” Xue An chuckled.
Tang Xuan’er nodded seriously, “No doubt about it, I am complimenting you.”
“Thank you!”
“Hope that’s not just casual talk!”
The laughter resumed between them, before silence suddenly fell.

After a moment, Tang Xuan’er looked down and said, “An Yan has had it tough, you need to treat her well!”
Xue An nodded, “I will!”
“Now that I have a cultivation level, if I find out you’re bullying her, beware, I might hit you!” Tang Xuan’er raised her fist, but couldn’t help laughing herself.
Xue An didn’t laugh, but just quietly watched her.
After a while, under Xue An’s gaze, Tang Xuan’er lost her composure.
“Uh… I think I drank a bit too much! I’m going to go sleep now!”
With that, she turned and practically fled the scene.
Xue An made no move, just stood in place, quietly watching her retreating figure.
At this time, An Yan slowly emerged from the shadows behind him and came to stand beside Xue An.
The two stood in silence for a moment before An Yan said softly, “How about… we take Xuan’Er with us on this trip?”
Xue An shook his head, “The outside world is too chaotic! With her personality, it’s better for her to stay and cultivate slowly in this realm.”
“But I’m worried, what if a powerful demon descends upon us after we leave?” An Yan asked, her concern evident.
Xue An gave An Yan a glance and smiled faintly, “Yan’er, you’re right to worry, which is why we need to make thorough preparations before we leave.”
An Yan nodded and fell silent.
“All right, it’s getting late. Let’s go to sleep,” he said, taking An Yan’s hand and turning to go back inside.
By this time, Tang Xuan’er had also returned to her room.
Upon entering, Fan Mengxue wrapped in a bathrobe, recklessly stretched her slender legs out on the coffee table, engrossed in the boredom of television.
When she heard the noise, without turning her head, she said, “Xuan’Er, didn’t you say you drank too much? Why did you run out again?”
As she turned her head, Fan Mengxue caught sight of Tang Xuan’er and let out a surprised yelp.
“You…”
At this moment, Tang Xuan’er radiated a strong aura, unmistakably that of a Xiaoyao Realm expert.
Tang Xuan’er walked straight over, sat down beside Fan Mengxue, picked up a teacup from the coffee table and gulped down a few sips before finally letting out a long sigh.
By this point, Fan Mengxue had recovered from her shock, “Did he help you improve your cultivation level?”
Tang Xuan’er nodded and then said with a wry smile, “It seems like he’s going to leave!”
At those words, Fan Mengxue became silent.
“`
She already had a feeling, knowing that Xue An was about to leave this world.
But she didn’t expect it to be so soon.
Tang Xuan’er glanced at the somber Fan Mengxue and couldn’t help but sigh softly, “Alright! Let’s go to bed! He’s not never coming back!”
Tang Xuan’er and Fan Mengxue lived together.
When they lay down in bed.
She didn’t know how long it had been when Tang Xuan’er quietly looked at the ceiling swallowed by darkness and whispered, “Will you… still wait for him?”
A long, drawn-out silence ensued.
It lasted so long that Tang Xuan’er thought she had fallen asleep before she heard a low voice from the darkness, “I will! And I will wait forever.”
The corners of Tang Xuan’er’s mouth gradually lifted, wanting to smile, yet she felt something warm and wet seeping out of her eyes, then she turned over, “Let’s sleep! It will be dawn soon.”
Fan Mengxue looked at Tang Xuan’er, who was curled up on her side, her gaze flickering, and then she murmured softly, “Aren’t you… the same?”
The next day.
Xue An summoned everyone from Beijiang, the provincial city, and Zhongdu.
The people, having had a premonition before coming, were all very excited.
Once everyone had arrived, Xue An looked around at these familiar faces and smiled slightly.
“All of you are considered my friends, and now I will help you embark on the path of cultivation. However, each person’s heart realm and fortune differ, so I will let each of you enter your own heart trial. Everything depends on how you come out!”
These words made everyone shiver.
Old Xie was among these people, and upon hearing this he couldn’t help feeling somewhat troubled, “Xiao An, your Auntie Pang and I should probably pass. Cultivation is not something people like us can dabble in!”
Xue An smiled and shook his head, “Uncle Xie, you are mistaken. Each person has their own fortune; I’m merely helping you to unlock it!”
Auntie Pang elbowed Old Xie and said dissatisfiedly, “Xiao An has already said that it all depends on our own fortune. Are you afraid to even try? Really pathetic!”
Old Xie blushed at Auntie Pang’s words, “Who says I’m afraid to try! Come on! I, Old Xie, am not afraid!”
Xue An smiled and then said softly, “Everyone, hold your breath and concentrate. Let’s begin!”
Hearing this, everyone steadied their minds and closed their eyes.
Xue An waved his hand, and his vast Divine Sense spread out, covering the entire place.
The so-called Heart Trial is a test that major factions in The Multiverse must go through when selecting disciples.
It is to see whether the person has the fortune and foundation for cultivation.
However, for someone like Xue An to initiate so many people’s heart trials with a wave of his hand was extremely rare.
In that moment, everyone shuddered and had already entered their own heart trial.
Soon, a variety of expressions emerged on each person’s face.
There were joyful faces, angry ones, and even crying ones.
Xue An watched quietly; he wanted to see who would be the first one out.
Just then.
Standing next to Old Xie, Xie Jingjing suddenly shuddered and then slowly opened her eyes. At the same time, a surge of qi emitted from her body, and she directly ascended into the Zhenren Realm.
Xue An was slightly startled; he knew Xie Jingjing had a Pure Silver Body, but he hadn’t expected her talent for cultivation to be so high.
Just an ordinary heart trial allowed her to catch a glimpse of the path and advance into a Zhenren.
Although Zhenren is only the most basic of realms, it is also the foundation for future cultivation.
This one trial could determine the differences that would follow.
Thinking this, Xue An smiled at Xie Jingjing, “Very good, I was intending to directly impart a Cultivation Technique to you, but now that you’ve entered Zhenren, it has saved quite a lot of trouble!”
