Although Ye Xunhuan obtained what he wanted from the Confucius Temple in Qufu, he was not in a hurry to embark on the Underworld Road.
After all, he hadn't examined the item given to him by Kong Xingyi, so even if he wanted to go to the Underworld Road, Ye Xunhuan needed to study and understand the item thoroughly first.
Even though Lian Xing expressed a desire to accompany Ye Xunhuan on the Underworld Road, Ye Xunhuan remained unhurried.
Additionally, Ye Xunhuan did not leave Qufu immediately but wandered around the area.
Fortunately, Ye Xunhuan was accompanied by Lian Xing, making his wanderings less lonely.
Though curious about Lian Xing's background, Ye Xunhuan refrained from asking as Lian Xing hadn't shown any hostility toward him.
Lian Xing's wish to accompany Ye Xunhuan on the Underworld Road made him particularly curious.
Lian Xing evidently knew how dangerous the Underworld Road was, yet insisted on coming along, which puzzled and intrigued Ye Xunhuan.
