“Back to America?!”


    Hong Changqing couldn’t hold back his tears upon hearing this news.


    His initial reaction was one of sheer excitement.


    After all, charlie was allowing him to return to the United States, which indicated that he wasn’t going to take his own life or confine him forever.


    With a hopeful tone, he asked, “Can I really?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Seeing the joy on Hong Changqing’s face, charlie couldn’t help but chuckle quietly to himself.


    In reality, he hadn’t intended to harm Hong Changqing; he was simply having some fun with Dr. Simmons. Though his actions may have been reckless, they certainly didn’t warrant a death sentence.


    Moreover, he had handed over the medicinal cauldron. Although he had reservations about it, he was willing to take a chance and ept his defeat.


    Additionally, he shared a personal connection with Hong Changqing’s grandmother. If he were to acknowledge her in the future and refer to her as a friend, it wouldn’t make sense for him to either kill Hong Changqing or confine him to the dog farm.


    Furthermore, charlie was in need of talented individuals, and having an experienced Taoist, who had spent years in North America and held the title of “Hong Tianshi” among the elite, would be a valuable asset.


    Thus, when charlie asked Hong Changqing about his desire to return to the United States, it was merely a small test. He anticipated that if Hong Changqing were truly wise, he wouldn’t rush to seize the chance to return at that moment.


    And indeed, as soon as Hong Changqing eximed, “Can I?”, he suddenly felt a wave of frustration wash over him, making him want to give up entirely.<fnaae4> This text is hosted at F?nd-Novel</fnaae4>


    Inside his mind, hemented, “How could this happen? I traveled all this way to find charlie, hoping to obtain a powerful panacea to elevate my strength or to learn the art of alchemy from him. I wanted to refine some potent pills upon my return. But who would have guessed that my efforts would yield nothing? Not only did I fail to gain the skills I sought, but I also ended up losing my ancestral medicinal cauldron. If I leave now, won’t I just regret it more and more?”


    Despite his tumultuous thoughts, he couldn’t voice his feelings and instead stammered, struggling to articte his reasoning.


    At that moment, charlie smiled and said, “Here’s the n, Hong Tianshi. While you did willingly give me the medicinal cauldron, I prefer not to owe anyone any favors. How about I arrange a special flight for you this afternoon? I’ll send you back to the United States, but make sure to inform my grandma that you have other ns upon your return so she won’t be waiting for you here.”


    Realizing that charlie wasn’t going to harm him, Hong Changqing found himself reluctant to leave. With a heavy heart, he replied, “Master Wade, to be honest, I’ve been focusing on my retreat for the next few years and won’t have time to look after the Taizhen Dao. The internal talents within the Taizhen Dao have diminished, and there’s nothing much going on, so I… so I…”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
