Since human technology had already extended its “hands” to space, to the moon, and to the other planets in the solar system, some cultivators, who were not fond of being disturbed, hid their immortal caves deeper in the ground or simply moved elsewhere.

Compared with hundreds of years ago, the moon was now much more lonely, and there were many areas that had since become vacant.

Senior White took the black-skinned Soft Feather on a walk around the moon for about half a day—it could be seen from this that he was in a relatively good mood.

When he saw that most cultivators were either lowering their heads or moving away after seeing him, Senior White found the experience novel and amusing.

In the past, due to his charm being too strong and him being unable to control it, it was always as if there was a spotlight on him regardless of where he went, so he had never enjoyed this kind of treatment.

It was especially interesting when Senior White saw that some fellow daoists who he had met several times in the past hundreds of years were also avoiding “Song Shuhang”, keeping a distance.

Sometimes, Senior White would even go out of his way to greet some of his old friends.

He was having a great time.

“Senior White, we’ve been strolling for a long time. Have you found a suitable site yet?” The black-skinned Soft Feather asked. She felt that while Senior White was having a blast, he seemed to have forgotten that they were supposed to be looking for a suitable location for an immortal cave.

Senior White, who was leading the way, visibly froze.

The black-skinned Soft Feather sighed inwardly. Sure enough, Senior White was having too much fun and forgot about choosing a location.

“Hahaha, while I did spot several good locations when wandering around, their overall layouts were not imposing enough!” Senior White said solemnly, “We should go to another area. We’ll definitely find a location with great geomancy before Shuhang exits his seclusion.”

The black-skinned Soft Feather: “…”

The entire time, Senior White kept talking about rich lands with great geomancy and sites for digging.

Why do I keep on getting the feeling that we aren’t even looking for a place for Senior Song’s immortal cave?

Senior White, who was leading the way, said, “Hey! I see another acquaintance.”

The black-skinned Soft Feather sighed and followed silently. Until Senior White had not played enough, it seemed that he would not be able to concentrate on doing business.

So after much deliberation, she decided that she would simply let Senior White have fun before mentioning the task at hand once more.

“The acquaintance this time is also acquainted with little friend Shuhang. When I sent Shuhang to space, I asked him to help arrange a trial so that Shuhang could also practice in space. But later, that formation ended up becoming useless.” Senior White explained to the black-skinned Soft Feather while they were flying.

After hearing Senior White’s introduction, the black-skinned Soft Feather became slightly interested and flew forward with Senior White. “What is the name of this senior?”

Senior White explained, “His daoist name is Sobbing Old Man. He is a very interesting fellow daoist, but if you stay with him for quite some time, he quickly becomes quite unbearable.”

Ahead, the Sobbing Old Man had just returned from a nearby cultivator market, and he was carrying a box of natural treasures and medicinal pills.

He returned to his small immortal cave on the moon, made a hand seal, and opened the door.

“Fellow Daoist Sobbing, long time no see.” At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him.

As soon as the Sobbing Old Man turned his head, he saw Profound Sage Tyrannical Song approaching him, and behind Profound Sage Tyrannical Song was a fairy with very long legs.

He quickly recognized the little fairy maiden to be the daughter of Profound Sage Spirit Butterfly, Fairy Soft Feather.

However, he could not help but wonder why Fairy Soft Feather suddenly had such dark skin.

“It’s you, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.” After seeing Song Shuhang, the Sobbing Old Man was so excited that he burst into tears. Tears kept flowing down his face.

He had a bit of history with Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.

A few months ago, the Sobbing Old Man wanted to join the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion, and Profound Sage Tyrannical Song helped him significantly in this regard. Unfortunately, Pavilion Master Chu ultimately refused to accept him as an apprentice.

As such, the Sobbing Old Man took the second best option and decided to become Shuhang’s disciple, which would allow him to indirectly achieve his purpose of joining the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion.

But during this period of time, some of his memories became blurred, and he ultimately lost the opportunity to become Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s disciple.

The Sobbing Old Man had been wanting to find Profound Sage Tyrannical Song for quite some time, but hadn’t had the chance to do so.

Today, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song came to his door in person, and he could not help but cry out loud due to how moved he was.

Senior White slammed on the brakes.

He was worried that the over-excited weeping man would rush at him and drown him in tears.

Senior White also feared that the Sobbing Old Man would end up dying of dehydration from all the crying.

The black-skinned Soft Feather greeted the other party respectfully, “Greetings, Senior.”

“Fairy Soft Feather, hello to you too.” The Sobbing Old Man managed to control his emotions and greeted Soft Feather.

Senior White stepped forward and patted the old man. “How have you been doing recently?”

He remembered that Song Shuhang once promised to think of a way to help the Sobbing Old Man join the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion. Now that Pavilion Master Chu had become Song Shuhang’s strand of hair, there might be some hope for him.

The Sobbing Old Man replied while sobbing, “I’ve been good. Besides, a fairy maiden came to my door a few days ago to guide me on the follow-up chapter of the ?Tome of Never-Ending Tears?. I am going to close up soon and push for the next realm.”

[Someone guided his practice of the ?Tome of Never-Ending Tears?? Who was it?] Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair had been slightly sticking out from Senior White’s sleeve, checking the outside world.

She was taken aback when she heard the Sobbing Old Man’s words.

Senior White also showed a puzzled expression. “A fairy guided you in your cultivation? Who was it?”

“Yes… yes…” Sobbing Old Man subconsciously started to reply, but when he was about to answer, he frowned.

To his horror, he found out that he could not remember who that fairy was.

It was something that had happened just recently when he met that fairy who guided him on the sequel of the ?Tome of Never-Ending Tears?. However, he could not remember anything about her at all.

“How could this happen?!” Sobbing Old Man scratched his head, crying anxiously.

“Fellow Daoist Sobbing, don’t worry.” Senior White smiled and patted him.

His smile carried a calming power.

Daoist Sobbing soon calmed down.

Senior White asked, “Where is that fairy now?”

“I… don’t remember.” Daoist Sobbing smiled wryly and shook his head.

“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Sobbing. Maybe that fairy does not want you to know her identity. There are always this kind of fellow daoists who choose not to leave their names behind after doing good deeds.” Senior White comforted.

Daoist Sobbing pondered for a moment, then nodded.

??????

After a while, Senior White and the black-skinned Soft Feather were invited by the sobbing daoist to enter his immortal cave for a short rest.

Daoist Sobbing turned around and went to make tea for his two guests.

After the Sobbing Old Man left, Senior White suddenly turned around and said with a smile, “Mysterious fairy maiden, why don’t you come out and meet with us?”
