After leaving the City Lord Mansion, Lin Yi covered Xu Yu Rou and her companion with an Element-less Spirit Power Shield and then chose a route with fewer demons based on the observations of the Eye of Emptiness.
As they traveled, Xu Yu Rou kept her eyes on Lin Yi's back, her heart inevitably filled with longing for her own master. The elder she was following now was as cautious and decisive in his actions as her own master had been. Standing behind him, she felt a great sense of security.
Alas, her own master had already ascended to immortality and ceased to exist. She had dreamed many times that her master was still alive, but upon waking, it was all in vain.
She didn't wallow in the past, instead focusing on her cultivation with the hope of reaching the ultimate end of cultivation and being able to resurrect her master.
Although the elder who rescued her bore some resemblance to her master, he was not her master.
