Chapter 2708

“Here you go, this is the unique token of my Jade Tripod Sect. It grants the bearer the same privileges as the Patriarch.”

“If you ever wish to return to the Jade Tripod Sect, know that you are always welcome. I will be here, waiting for you…”

Kai accepted the token, and as their hands lingered together, Liu Ruyan held on tightly, savoring the warmth of Kai’s hand!

In that moment, Kai felt a wave of distraction; the thought of having a girl wait for him forever filled him with guilt!

However, Kai had many responsibilities ahead of him. It was unfeasible for him to remain at the Jade Tripod Sect for an extended period, nor could he ensure Liu Ruyan’s happiness!

In this vast Celestial Realm, Kai struggled to protect himself. If he were to commit to Liu Ruyan, she might find herself in danger, and he couldn’t afford to be selfish!

With effort, Kai gently pulled his hand away from Liu Ruyan’s grasp and tucked the beautifully crafted token into his coat pocket.

Just as they released each other’s hands, the Third Elder entered the room!

Noticing Liu Ruyan’s flushed cheeks and bright smile, the Third Elder quickly exclaimed, “My apologies, I must have come to the wrong place…”

The Third Elder assumed that Kai and Liu Ruyan were involved in a romantic encounter and was eager not to interrupt them!

“Third Elder, what brings you here?”

As the Third Elder prepared to leave, Liu Ruyan called out to him!

“Patriarch, I came to inform you that now that you’ve assumed the role of Patriarch, it’s essential to convene a meeting with the senior management of the Jade Tripod Sect today.”

“Oh, understood!” Liu Ruyan replied with a nod.

“Mr. Chen is also invited to join, as his status in my Jade Tripod Sect will soon surpass that of an elder.”

The Third Elder added, casting a glance at Kai.

“I’ll pass on the meeting. I have to leave,” Kai said with a smile.

“Mr. Chen is leaving already?” The Third Elder appeared puzzled and inquired, “Why the rush, Mr. Chen? We still need to open the Hidden Medicine Pavilion. If you’d like, I can arrange that for you.”

“No need for that. I’ll visit the Hidden Medicine Pavilion when I get a chance,” Kai responded.

“I have a few friends I haven’t heard from in quite some time. I need to find them as soon as possible.”

Kai explained.

“Do you know where your friends are?” The Third Elder asked.

Kai shook his head.

“That’s going to be challenging,” the Third Elder frowned. “The Celestial Realm is vast. I’ve been at the Jade Tripod Sect for decades and still don’t know everything about it.”

“I’ve heard that the distance between the north and south poles of the Celestial Human Realm exceeds a hundred thousand kilometers. Within that space lie countless clans, towns, and even entire countries. If you don’t know where your friends are, it will be quite difficult to locate them.”

After hearing this, Kai sighed. The Celestial Realm was indeed enormous, making it tough to find Su Yuqi and her friends. Yet, despite the challenges, Kai refused to give up!

“No matter how far it takes me, I will find them…”

Kai’s eyes shone with determination!

Liu Ruyan, sensing his resolve, asked, “Is the friend you’re searching for your girlfriend?”

Kai met Liu Ruyan’s gaze and nodded slightly without uttering a word.

“That explains why you’re in such a hurry. You’re searching for your girlfriend,” Liu Ruyan said.

“But I will keep my promise; I will wait for you forever…”

Liu Ruyan declared with unwavering conviction!

Kai averted his eyes, fearing that he would be too soft-hearted to leave if he looked at her.

“Alright, I should be going now. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out!”

Kai stated as he turned to exit the room, not wanting to linger any longer.

Liu Ruyan watched him leave, softly murmuring, “Kai, I will always wait for you…”

The Third Elder observed Liu Ruyan’s demeanor and could only sigh, shaking his head as he departed.
