### Chapter 2497 — The Night Sky
Yang Lin calmly got up from his chair.
"Thank you for the dinner, Chaoran Zhi Quan. It was really good."
Chaoran Zhi Quan smiled.
"Thank you."
Yang Lin calmly walked toward a tree in the private courtyard.
He sat down near it.
Then he looked up at the night sky.
"It's been awhile."
After a moment, Chaoran Zhi Quan walked over.
"What are you thinking?"
Yang Lin calmly looked at the night sky.
"Nothing much."
"Just remembered where I'm from."
Chaoran Zhi Quan asked curiously,
"Where are you from?"
Yang Lin calmly answered,
"From somewhere."
Chaoran Zhi Quan didn't pursue the answer.
She simply smiled.
"Goodnight. See you tomorrow."
She then looked toward Grandpa Lu.
"Goodnight, Grandpa."
Grandpa Lu calmly replied,
"Goodnight."
Yang Lin calmly said,
"Goodnight as well."
Chaoran Zhi Quan then walked toward the second floor.
Her room was next to Yang Lin's room.
There were only three rooms on the second floor.
The room on the left corner belonged to Grandpa Lu.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward Grandpa Lu.
"Grandpa Lu, may I ask a question?"
Grandpa Lu calmly said,
"Ask."
Yang Lin asked,
"How long have you been in Chen Ti Village?"
Grandpa Lu calmly answered,
"I can't remember."
"It's been a really long time."
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"I'm going to rest."
Grandpa Lu calmly replied,
"Alright then."
Yang Lin then walked toward the second floor.

### Chapter 2498 — The Dusty Room
Yang Lin reached the right-corner room.
He opened the door.
The room was dusty.
However, it was still fine.
The bed was clean.
There was simple furniture inside the room.
Yang Lin calmly looked around.
Then he waved his hand.
The dust inside the entire room instantly turned into Nothingness.
The room became completely clean.
Yang Lin calmly sat down on the bed.
He then began cultivating.
The night slowly passed.
After cultivating for some time, Yang Lin eventually lay down.
He closed his eyes.
Then he slept.

### Chapter 2499 — The Next Morning
The next morning—
Yang Lin woke up from the bed.
He calmly stood up.
Then he opened the door of his room.
In the next instant—
his figure appeared on the ground.
Yang Lin calmly looked ahead.
There—
he saw the breathtakingly beautiful Chaoran Zhi Quan.
She was feeding a Sprite cat.
Her side profile was beautiful.
Yang Lin calmly looked at her for less than a second.
Then he walked toward the room table.
Grandpa Lu calmly said,
"Get ready to see the forest nearby."
Yang Lin calmly answered,
"Alright."
He quietly thought to himself,
"Another Immortal forest."
"Not bad."
At that moment, Chaoran Zhi Quan calmly smiled.
"Good morning."
Yang Lin calmly replied,
"Good morning as well."
His gaze then fell toward the Sprite cat.
"Is that your pet?"
Chaoran Zhi Quan calmly answered,
"One of my pets."
"It's a Sprite cat I found in the forest."
"It was wooded."
Yang Lin said nothing.
Chaoran Zhi Quan then smiled.
"Let me cook breakfast."
Yang Lin calmly answered,
"Alright."
Chaoran Zhi Quan then went toward the first floor.

### Chapter 2500 — Breakfast
Chaoran Zhi Quan began cooking breakfast.
After some time, she prepared some bread.
She brought it outside.
Yang Lin calmly looked at it.
"Nice."
Grandpa Lu calmly looked toward Chaoran Zhi Quan.
"Well then."
"Chaoran Zhi Quan, take Yang Lin to see the forest nearby."
Yang Lin calmly said,
"Thank you."
Chaoran Zhi Quan smiled.
"No problem."
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan then stood up.
They looked toward Grandpa Lu.
"We will be back before sun set."
Grandpa Lu calmly nodded.
"Alright."
"Be careful."
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan then walked out of the private courtyard.

### Chapter 2501 — The Village Road
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan walked through the village.
The expressions of the villagers from the nearby private courtyard houses changed slightly when they saw the two of them.
Some villagers calmly looked toward them.
Some smiled.
Others simply watched them quietly.
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan continued walking.
They followed a village road.
Trees shrouded the way ahead.
Yang Lin calmly looked around.
Chaoran Zhi Quan noticed.
She calmly said,
"These trees where villagers come to pick fruits."
"Medicinal herbs are made by using some of these fruits."
Yang Lin calmly answered,
"That's nice."
They continued walking.
Soon, the forest appeared ahead.

### Chapter 2502 — Entering the Forest
Yang Lin entered the forest with Chaoran Zhi Quan.
Chaoran Zhi Quan calmly looked toward him.
"Follow me."
"You won't be lost then."
Yang Lin calmly walked beside her.
The two continued deeper into the forest.
The surrounding trees became denser.
Chaoran Zhi Quan knew the road very well.
She calmly led Yang Lin through the forest.
Time slowly passed.
Several hours later—
it was late morning, a few hours before evening.
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan had already gone deep into the forest.
Even though they were deep inside—
Chaoran Zhi Quan knew the road back.
This area was also safe.
Yang Lin calmly looked around.
Then he asked,
"So where are those Sprite beasts?"
"I haven't seen anything yet."
Chaoran Zhi Quan calmly answered,
"Yeah, that's odd."
"Because Sprite beasts, we should have met a lot already."
Yang Lin calmly looked ahead.
"Well, something seems to be wrong."
Chaoran Zhi Quan thought for a moment.
"I think cultivators are here."
"They hunt Sprite beasts to train."

### Chapter 2503 — The Missing Sprite Beasts
Yang Lin calmly looked toward Chaoran Zhi Quan.
"How strong are they?"
Chaoran Zhi Quan calmly answered,
"How do I know?"
Yang Lin calmly looked ahead.
"Well."
"Let's see."
Chaoran Zhi Quan became worried.
"Let's go back for now?"
Yang Lin calmly answered,
"Alright."
Chaoran Zhi Quan nodded.
"Alright."
The two turned around.
They prepared to leave the forest.
But before they could go far—
the sound of flying swords suddenly came from behind.
Chaoran Zhi Quan immediately looked back.
Her expression became worried.
"Yang Lin, run."
"I'll try holding them off."
Yang Lin calmly looked toward her.
"Can you hold them off or not?"
"Let's go together."
Chaoran Zhi Quan became more worried.
"But there are lots of them coming."
She looked ahead.
Several cultivators were flying toward them on flying swords.
They were all young.
The cultivators rapidly approached.

### Chapter 2504 — The Sword Cultivators
Chaoran Zhi Quan watched the approaching cultivators.
Before she could think of anything—
one of the sword cultivators spoke.
"You mortals, get out of the way."
But the moment he saw Chaoran Zhi Quan—
his expression changed.
He saw her beauty.
Another cultivator looked toward her.
"Hey, beautiful."
"Come with us?"
Then—
they saw Yang Lin's back.
The expressions of all the cultivators suddenly changed.
They immediately ran.
It was as if they had seen a predator.
All of them were Earth Immortal Realm cultivators.
Chaoran Zhi Quan was scared.
But now—
she was confused.
But throughout it all, she remained strong-willed.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward her.
"Shall we go out?"
Chaoran Zhi Quan calmly answered,
"Yes."
"This place is dangerous."
"Let's go out for now."
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
The two then walked out of the forest.

### Chapter 2505 — Returning to Chen Ti Village
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan continued walking.
Several hours passed.
By the time they finally walked out of the forest—
it was evening.
They passed through the trees.
Then they walked back toward Chen Ti Village.
Soon, the private courtyard appeared before them.
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan calmly entered.
Chaoran Zhi Quan called out,
"I'm back."
Yang Lin calmly said,
"Grandpa Lu."
Grandpa Lu looked toward them.
"Oh?"
"This quickly?"
"What happened?"
Chaoran Zhi Quan answered sadly,
"We met some cultivators."
"Then they ran away."
Grandpa Lu was slightly surprised.
"They ran away?"
Yang Lin calmly remained silent.
He quietly thought to himself,
"Chaoran Zhi Quan is a Heaven Immortal 10th Stage Peak cultivator."
"But she doesn't know she is a cultivator."
"Her grandfather sealed her memory of her cultivation to temper her."
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked toward Grandpa Lu.
"Yes, Grandpa."
"They ran away."
Grandpa Lu calmly looked toward Yang Lin.
"How many cultivators were there?"
Yang Lin calmly answered,
"I don't know."
Chaoran Zhi Quan calmly said,
"A few."
Grandpa Lu nodded.
"Alright."
"Forget it."

### Chapter 2506 — Another Quiet Evening
The sun slowly set.
Night descended over Chen Ti Village.
The stars began shining above.
Yang Lin calmly looked up at the night sky.
Chaoran Zhi Quan noticed.
She smiled.
"Do you also like looking up at the night sky?"
Yang Lin calmly answered,
"No."
"I just looked."
Chaoran Zhi Quan smiled.
The stars continued shining above the quiet village.
Yang Lin calmly remained where he was.
The atmosphere was peaceful.
There were no battles.
No Ancient Immortal factions.
Only the quiet Chen Ti Village beneath the night sky.
