A Daughter's Request

As her words fell, Mu Yuyan conjured the Linglong Pagpda into existence.

She had been using this item for quite some time, and it was about time to return it.

But Gu Lan didn't take it. Instead, he pushed it back toward Mu Yuyan.

"I don't need this thing right now. It'll be of greater use in your hands."

With that, Gu Lan infused it with a strand of true qi.

The wonders of the Linglong Pagpda weren't limited to its ability to contain all things.

More importantly, its defensive power was extraordinarily strong.

The reason he hadn't used it before was simply that he hadn't needed to.

And by choosing to leave it with Mu Yuyan, Gu Lan admittedly had his own selfish motives.

He hoped the Linglong Pagpda could protect Mu Yuyan and keep her safe for a while.

The troubles ahead would only grow, and the strength of the enemies they'd face would continue to rise.

Mu Yuyan initially wanted to refuse, but Gu Lan gave her no chance to speak.
