One step was the difference that caused Jii Xiaoyao to miss "Lin Bei," leaving her extrely frustrated.
She almost wanted to turn around and chase in the direction the two shadows had disappeared.
However,
thinking that she couldn’t even catch up to a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, let alone a Golden Core Cultivator, she imdiately felt dejected.
The thought of pursuing was entirely dismissed.
"Since he’s here, he must be heading to the Martial Arts Conference for so fun!"
Jii Xiaoyao suddenly thought of this possibility, and her mood slightly improved, her steps suddenly lightened.
But, no one noticed that behind Su Daoyang, walking alongside Su Lei, Shen Zinan’s beautiful eyes were shining bright.
The accompanying Fwu Tianye also showed an astonished expression.
Lin Bei!
That na was too familiar!
On their way to Gusu City the other day, they had encountered the young man who suppressed the Yin Yang Dual Body in Shen Zinan.
Shen Zinan rembered; that young man was nad Lin Bei!
If not for that one-in-a-million coincidence, then the Golden Core Cultivator Wu Jiu ntioned must have been that young man nad Lin Bei.
"I actually received treatnt from such a figure!"
Shen Zinan felt both excited and thrilled.
But she couldn’t ntion this to Su Lei and the others, as it would reveal her Yin Yang Dual Body. She could only keep it to herself.
When Jii Xiaoyao and the others arrived by the Fla Pond, dicine Demon Xie Qingyang was sitting on the ground healing himself, with a pill furnace placed in front of him, apparently preparing to continue with alchemy.
However,
seeing the group arriving, Long Qianheng and others were once again surprised.
Tonight, the frequent visitors at the sect were remarkably unusual.
"Wu Jiu, who is this?"
Long Qianheng and the others didn’t recognize Jii Xiaoyao, naturally curious, with inquiry in their eyes.
Just before Wu Jiu could speak, dicine Demon Xie Qingyang stood up.
"Didn’t expect Niece Jii to arrive in the East Continent too! I guess your master is here as well?"
Xie Qingyang’s voice was hoarse as he smiled at Jii Xiaoyao and said, "I haven’t exchanged cultivation insights with Fellow Daoist Weng for a long ti!"
"Little Demon greets Uncle Xie!"
Jii Xiaoyao stepped forward and gave dicine Demon Xie Qingyang a solemn bow, her voice clear and crisp.
Obviously, dicine Demon Xie Qingyang was an acquaintance of Jii Xiaoyao, and a friend of her master Weng Xiyun.
Star Mountain and Jingmo Abyss are both second-level cultivation sects within Wuyou Ridge’s Cultivation Domain.
Even though Jingmo Abyss is a Demon Sect, it doesn’t hinder the exchange between sects.
Moreover, dicine Demon Xie Qingyang was known for being eccentric but moral, with no rumors of him indiscriminately killing innocents. Rather, he was respected for healing fellow cultivators and performing alchemy, earning the respect of many cultivators.
Jii Xiaoyao initially heard of Xie Qingyang from her master Weng Xiyun several tis, later eting him in person, which filled her heart with imnse respect.
Since Weng Xiyun and Xie Qingyang were friends, Jii Xiaoyao directly called him Uncle Xie warmly.
"Uncle Xie, my master didn’t co to the East Continent and is currently in Yanjing. She’s injured and needs so recuperation!"
Jii Xiaoyao slightly shook her head at Xie Qingyang, explaining.
"How did she get injured?"
Xie Qingyang raised an eyebrow, sowhat surprised, but then he rembered, "I almost forgot. I sought your master when I left the Central Continent, intending to go to the Southern Continent for a while. Was she injured while quelling the Southwest Holy Gu Sect? That Hong Qi is indeed a remarkable figure; if not for Senior Lin Bei’s presence, it could’ve been dangerous!"
"Uncle Xie knows about this too!"
Jii Xiaoyao had a complicated expression on her face, feeling sowhat upset, and said, "So Senior Lin Bei was here earlier? I heard them ntion it. Is he really a young man? About my age? And truly strong?"
Jii Xiaoyao was increasingly eager to et the mysterious and powerful "Lin Bei," secretly infatuated.
She wanted to hear everything about "Lin Bei" from Xie Qingyang, confirming that the man she was interested in was truly as excellent as she imagined.
"Strong! Extrely strong! Your Uncle Xie couldn’t withstand even one move from him!"
Xie Qingyang recalled the scene when Lin Tian struck and displayed a bitter smile, shaking his head, "The most crucial thing is that Fellow Daoist Lin Bei’s punch wasn’t even at full strength; otherwise, your Uncle Xie might have been killed in one move!"
"Other than that, in the Alchemy Dao... if your Uncle Xie is one of the brighter stars, then Fellow Daoist Lin Bei is a blazing sun, a world of difference, impossible to asure! With Fellow Daoist Lin Bei’s guidance this ti, I might further advance in the Alchemy Dao..."
Truly, even more powerful than imagined!
Jii Xiaoyao’s delicate hands twisted together, her beautiful eyes glittering with excitent.
Such an outstanding man is her true Destiny Prince!
She couldn’t wait to et Lin Bei!
In the Central Continent, her talent wasn’t considered the strongest but was among the top tier! Coupled with her appearance, she felt confident about her chances of gaining "Lin Bei’s" favor!
"Our Star Mountain’s Xu Jingling Senior Brother was astonishingly talented, but now compared to Lin Bei, he’s far inferior!"
Jii Xiaoyao used to idolize the top genius Xu Jingling in her sect, but now that admiration vanished completely with the appearance of "Lin Bei."
"Indeed... Not just Xu Jingling, I believe the entire Central Continent’s talents would pale in comparison to Fellow Daoist Lin Bei. The so-called geniuses sound almost laughable now!"
Xie Qingyang nodded slightly, repeatedly sighing, and after a while, he asked Jii Xiaoyao, "Niece Jii, what business brings you to the Cold Mountain Valley this ti?"
"Originally, my master instructed to borrow the Fu Wangsheng Spirit Flower here, but I was too late... just a step too late..."
Jii Xiaoyao stomped her delicate foot in annoyance, looking helpless.
Only she understood the aning behind the two "too late."
...
Leaving the Cold Mountain Valley, Lin Tian flew directly back to East Sea City with Liiu Nai’er.
All along the way, Liiu Nai’er wore a blank expression, looking dazedly at the ground below and then at Lin Tian, who was half-embracing her while flying through the clouds. Her mind was in disarray, like a jumbled ball of yarn, impossible to untangle.
Not until they landed in an isolated corner by East Sea West Lake did Liiu Nai’er regain her senses.
"Brother Xiaotian... um... are you my Brother Xiaotian?"
Liiu Nai’er looked at Lin Tian, feeling extrely unfamiliar. She couldn’t accept everything she had seen before, her heart numb, not knowing where to start or what to ask. The only feeling she had was that sohow, Lin Tian seed like a different person.
"Little Nai, don’t overthink it; how could I possibly be soone else?"
Lin Tian rubbed Liiu Nai’er’s head, hesitating for a mont, not knowing how to explain, and said, "Your Brother Xiaotian just had so fortuitous encounters... like those in TV dramas where soone falls off a cliff and gains powerful cultivation techniques and legacies, that’s why I’m like this!"
"This..."
Liiu Nai’er’s beautiful eyes widened, perplexed and disbelieving, yet sowhat disappointed.
