"So Master isn't planning to take us to the Upper Immortal Realm?" Luo Yu spoke in a faintly melancholy tone, his earlier fervor now replaced by a palpable sense of despondency.
"You may come with me, or you may stay behind. Go wherever you are needed." She smiled, rising to her feet. "Truthfully, I do need some people to manage matters in the Upper Immortal Realm. Therefore, I must take Du Fan, Leng Hua, and Leng Shuang with me. As for the rest of you..."
Her voice paused. "You may remain here to guard the place. Once things settle down and it's confirmed all is peaceful, you may ascend later." She turned to Guan Xilin and asked, "Brother, do you wish to go to the Upper Immortal Realm?"
Guan Xilin laughed heartily. "I can go anywhere. But since my foster father and Grandfather are here, and you don't live nearby, I'll stay close to them. That way, if anything happens, I can be there to help."
