Chen Xiao's expression paused slightly, and he teased, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of heights too?"

"No, it's not that…"

Chu Qingluan withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted. "I just think it would be safer that way."

"Don't worry, the Yitian Sword is very stable, you won't fall."

It wasn't that Chen Xiao didn't understand Chu Qingluan's intentions, he just didn't want to accept them.

"Okay."

Chu Qingluan gave a soft "okay," and immediately the air was filled with awkwardness.

To break the silence, Chen Xiao asked, "Have you been to the Bliss Island?"

"Yes."

Chu Qingluan nodded. "The first time I went to Bliss Island, I was only four and a half years old. It was the year my grandfather turned one hundred and entered the island. After that, every three years, on the fifteenth of August, I would go to Bliss Island with my father to visit him. However, every three years, Grandpa would become more and more indifferent to me."

Chen Xiao frowned slightly. Chu Qingluan continued to explain, "That's because of the arduous cultivation on Bliss Island. The longer you cultivate, the less human you become, and your feelings for this world will fade away."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao suddenly felt that this Bliss Island was somewhat similar to the Xian Yin Realm (Immortal Concealment Realm), both of which used the deprivation of their own emotions to exchange for achievements in cultivation.

At this moment, Chu Qingluan suddenly asked, "By the way, Mr. Chen, do you know why Bliss Island is called Bliss Island?"

"I don't know."

"Guess."

"I won't guess!"

"…"

Sensing the resentment from Chu Qingluan, Chen Xiao said helplessly, "Okay, then I'll guess. I guess it's definitely not a place for enjoyment!"

"How did you know?"

Chu Qingluan opened her mouth wide in surprise, enough to fit an egg.

"Because if it were, you wouldn't have asked me to guess."

Chen Xiao said calmly.

"That's right!"

Chu Qingluan slapped her forehead. "It's not that you're too smart, it's that I'm too stupid!"

"You haven't told me why it's called Bliss Island yet!"

Chen Xiao asked.

In fact, he had no interest in the answer to this question, he just wanted to keep the conversation going.

"Because there, the connection between people will fade. Even between father and son, there is no overly close interaction. When there is no interaction between people, there will be no worries. Without worries, it will naturally be a world of bliss!"

A trace of sadness appeared on Chu Qingluan's face. "When I sent Grandpa to Bliss Island, he was very reluctant to leave me, but now, I'm just a stranger to him… Mr. Chen, if it's this kind of bliss, would you be willing to accept it?"

"Of course not."

Chen Xiao shook his head directly. "Abandoning human emotions is no different from self-castration, and complete self-castration at that."

"I think so too, but Mr. Chen, when you get to Bliss Island, don't say these things… It's not that I'm worried about what they'll do to you, I just think they're also quite pitiful."

Chu Qingluan said.

Chen Xiao nodded. "Don't worry, I'm just going to ask some questions. I won't meddle in things that don't concern me."

After saying that, he suddenly realized that the reason why Chu Qingluan's emotions were so low might be related to her father, Chu He.

When Chu He turned one hundred years old, he would also come to Bliss Island.

Although Chu He looked young, his actual age might already be quite old.

After all, he was a martial artist, and even after the age of one hundred, he could maintain the appearance of being in his thirties or forties.

Along the way, the two chatted about some random things, and Chen Xiao also learned that Chu Qingluan had several opportunities to go to the secular world every year.

Moreover, unlike many reclusive people, she liked the colorful world outside very much.

In her opinion, the vast world, the myriad living beings, were what the world should be like.

Rather than the same monotonous, endless cultivation, cultivation, and more cultivation.

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the Yulong Mountains near the border of China.

This was a mountain range with snow all year round, rarely visited by people. Looking down from the sky, it looked like a winding white dragon.

According to Chu Qingluan, there lived an old mountain guardian in this Yulong Mountain.

Outside, only he could open the boundary gate to Bliss Island.

"Every time I come to visit Grandpa, I will visit Grandpa Mountain Guardian first. Grandpa Mountain Guardian is very kind to me. Over time, I feel that it's more like visiting Grandpa Mountain Guardian than visiting my own grandfather!"

Arriving above the Yulong Mountains, Chu Qingluan's mood improved. She pointed to a courtyard built on the mountain and said, "That's Grandpa Mountain Guardian's home. I came too hastily this time and didn't bring him anything. I wonder if he'll blame me!"

"Definitely not."

Chen Xiao said very certainly, "For an old man who lives alone in this place all year round, visiting him is the best gift."

There were no other houses within a hundred miles of the courtyard, so it was easy to imagine how lonely it must be to live alone in this place.

"How should we address this Grandpa Mountain Guardian?"

After landing on the ground, Chen Xiao asked.

"You can call him Grandpa Mountain Guardian too. His surname is Wang, and his name is Shoushan (Mountain Guardian)."

Chu Qingluan said.

Chen Xiao was speechless for a while. He originally thought that Shoushan was just the old man's occupation, but he didn't expect it to be the old man's name as well.

At this time, Xiao Hongchan also woke up, rubbing her eyes. When she saw the snowy scenery in front of her, her face was full of excitement, and she shouted.

"Wow, Big Brother, it's so beautiful here! Look, there's a big doggy!"

Chen Xiao took a closer look. How was that a big doggy? It was clearly a Siberian wolf!

In this deserted place, it was also difficult for Siberian wolves to see humans. When it saw Chen Xiao and the others, it immediately rushed towards them.

Just a wolf, not to mention Chen Xiao, even Xiao Hongchan, the weakest of the three, could easily deal with it.

Chen Xiao raised his hand, ready to subdue this large wolf, which was more than two meters long, but Chu Qingluan immediately stopped him.

"Don't, Mr. Chen, this isn't a wild wolf, it's Da Hui (Big Grey)!"

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment. This wolf even had a name?

He saw that the wolf's fur was gray with white, so the name 'Da Hui' was also fitting.

"It's raised by Grandpa Mountain Guardian, it's Grandpa Mountain Guardian's companion!"

Da Hui ran over and stopped in front of Chu Qingluan. Chu Qingluan touched its head.

It didn't wag its tail and lick people like a dog, but it didn't mean to hurt anyone either. It just stood there quietly, occasionally making a low roar.

Xiao Hongchan also liked Da Hui very much and directly rode on Da Hui's back. Da Hui didn't show any dissatisfaction.

"It's strange, Da Hui came back from outside. Why isn't Grandpa Mountain Guardian with it? The two of them always move together!"

Chu Qingluan muttered, then shouted loudly towards the courtyard, "Grandpa Mountain Guardian, I'm here! It's Qingluan!"

Chu Qingluan shouted several times, but there was no response from the courtyard…
