The expressions of the duo underwent a swift change as they immediately positioned themselves to block Qiao Mu's path.
"Hey, young lad, step aside! This old man would like to have a word with the young lady…" Before he could plete his sentence, a dazzling light emanated from the young lady's body, and two dark wooden tablets suddenly soared into the air, radiating a glossy black glow.
Mo Lian was taken aback. He had assumed that his wife had taken the initiative by using talismans.
Upon closer examination, he realized that these weren't ordinary ebony talismans. Instead, they were two wooden tablets etched with clear, concise lines and engraved with individuals' names.
What was going on? Duan Yue and Mo Lian exchanged puzzled glances, both turning their attention to the young girl.
Meanwhile, Lady Qiaoqiao was equally bewildered. She urged the two men forward and stepped forward herself.
"What's the meaning of this intrusion into someone else's room? I demand an explanation…"
"Young lady, who are you?" Chen Qi seized one of the identity tablets from mid-air, his eyes sparkling as he scrutinized the child.
"What's your connection to Xuanji School?" The other elder, Lu Zheng, inquired excitedly.
/Xuanji School?/
A spark of recognition flickered in Qiao Mu's mind as she examined these two elders.
/Could these floating identity tablets belong to these two old gentlemen?/
"Do you know Senior Xuanji?"
Back in the Xuanji secret realm, the young girl had reluctantly assumed the position of Second Headmaster and accepted several random missions. Subsequently, she had relegated the title of Second Headmaster to the back of her mind.
After all, she was the only unclothed individual in the entire Xuanji School, so the title of Second Headmaster existed in name only.
Little did she expect to unexpectedly encounter two fellow sect members from the Xuanji Faction here today.
According to Xuanji's teachings…
These disciples holding identity tablets were all part of the first generation, totaling 103 members.
/Wasn't Xuanji instructing her to gather all these first-generation disciples?/
In reality, she had long forgotten about this task. She had no idea where to find those first-generation disciples!
Yet, looking at the situation now, the world was indeed full of surprises.
"You… Are you a descendant of Junior Sister Xuanji?" Chen Qi asked Dao Seeking with a trembling voice. "You must have met Xuanji before, haven't you? Where did you see her?"
"Yes, Xuanji, how is she now?" Lu Zheng couldn't contain his excitement either. "Is she well?"
Qiao Mu remained silent for a moment before replying, "I only caught a glimpse of her."
"In the Xuanji secret realm."
She wasn't sure whether to inform these two individuals that she possessed the Xuanji Core. She had reservations, fearing that they might have ulterior motives or were simply unhinged.
/This was her first encounter with these two elders, and trust couldn't be granted so easily./
"You have our identity tablet," Chen Qi exclaimed excitedly. "You must be the Second Headmaster of our Xuanji Faction!"
A small vein throbbed on Qiao Mu's forehead.
Ignoring her reaction, Chen Qi continued with great enthusiasm. "Second Headmaster, I'm Chen Qi, a first-generation elder of Xuanji. I'm Xuanji's Senior Brother."
"Second Headmaster, I'm also a Senior Brother from Xuanji School," Lu Zheng quickly added. "Second Headmaster, please don't hesitate. We are pletely loyal and have no hidden agenda towards Xuanji School. You can trust us wholeheartedly."
"That's right, Second Headmaster. Please share with us the details about Xuanji's current situation."
