### **Chapter 1067 — The Touch That Meant Nothing**
Silence remained within the chamber—
Unbroken.
Yang Lin's eyes opened slightly.
The fox was still there.
Watching him.
Unmoving.
He reached out—
And gently placed his hand on its head.
Softly—
As if it were something ordinary.
"...Nice pet."
---
### **Chapter 1068 — The Anger That Could Not Be Seen**
The fox froze.
Its body did not move.
But inside—
Something stirred.
Anger.
Sharp.
Unhidden.
Yet—
It did not act.
Yang Lin glanced at it briefly.
He noticed.
Not the emotion itself—
But the reaction.
"...Alright. Whatever."
He withdrew his hand.
Without care.
---
### **Chapter 1069 — The Name That Was Given**
A faint voice echoed.
Low.
Restrained.
"She is Daji."
Yang Lin looked at the fox again.
A slight pause.
Then—
"That's a nice name."
A faint, casual tone.
"Daji… haha."
---
### **Chapter 1070 — The Anger That Grew Again**
The fox's tail flicked slightly.
Its eyes narrowed.
That tone—
That reaction—
It did not like it.
Not at all.
But Yang Lin—
Did not notice.
Or perhaps—
Did not care.
---
### **Chapter 1071 — The Question Without Weight**
Yang Lin tilted his head slightly.
"Can you transform?"
A simple question.
No expectation.
No curiosity behind it.
Just—
A passing thought.
The fox looked away.
"I won't."
Its voice—
Firm.
Cold.
---
### **Chapter 1072 — The Understanding That Was Simple**
Yang Lin watched it for a moment.
Then—
Nodded slightly.
"...Still angry."
No judgment.
No attempt to fix it.
He stood.
And walked out.
---
### **Chapter 1073 — The Passing Glance**
The sect remained quiet.
Stable.
As always.
Yang Lin walked past several cultivation chambers.
Inside—
Auras surged.
Su Qinglan.
FeiFei.
Han Chen.
Han Qing.
Ning Mei.
All immersed in cultivation.
He glanced once—
And smiled faintly.
Then continued walking.
---
### **Chapter 1074 — The Breakthrough That Followed**
Suddenly—
Energy burst outward.
One after another—
Breakthroughs.
Han Chen—
Stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm, 5th Stage.
Ning Mei—
Followed.
The same realm.
The same stage.
Su Qinglan—
FeiFei—
Han Qing—
All broke through to the Void Heavenly Realm, 3rd Stage.
The sect trembled slightly.
But stabilized quickly.
---
### **Chapter 1075 — The Acknowledgment That Was Quiet**
Yang Lin stopped.
Watched.
A brief moment.
A faint smile appeared.
"...Good."
No more words.
He turned—
And continued walking.
---
### **Chapter 1076 — The Return With Something Simple**
In the distance—
He picked up something simple.
Food.
Chicken legs.
Nothing special.
Nothing rare.
Then—
He returned to his chamber.
---
### **Chapter 1077 — The Waiting That Was Not Expected**
Inside—
Daji remained where she was.
Still.
Silent.
But her gaze—
Shifted toward the door.
For the first time—
There was anticipation.
Then—
The door opened.
Yang Lin entered.
Holding something.
---
### **Chapter 1078 — The Reaction That Changed Slightly**
He walked over.
Placed the food in front of her.
No explanation.
No words.
Just—
Action.
Daji looked at it.
Then at him.
A brief pause.
"...Thank you."
Her voice softened slightly.
Almost without her noticing.
---
### **Chapter 1079 — The Simple Exchange**
Yang Lin sat back down.
Closed his eyes again.
As if nothing had happened.
Daji lowered her head.
And began to eat.
Quietly.
But this time—
There was no anger.
---
### **Chapter 1080 — The Rest That Followed**
Elsewhere—
Within the sect—
Su Qinglan, FeiFei, Han Chen, Han Qing, and Ning Mei gathered.
Their breakthroughs—
Still settling.
They congratulated each other.
Smiles appeared.
Relief followed.
Then—
They rested.
For the first time in a while—
Without pressure.
