Zhao Ling'er was startled. A little boy clad in seven-colored rosy robes appeared out of thin air before her, tilting his head as he studied her.
"I am Zhao Ling'er, and I am indeed one of Master's Doppelgangers."
"Oh! So you're Sister Ling'er! I'll take you to see Master right away." Yantian's eyes lit up as he happily circled Zhao Ling'er once.
"Sister Ling'er, my name is Yantian. I'm the artifact spirit of this immortal palace, and Master created me with his own hands!" Yantian said proudly as he led the way.
Seeing Yantian's innocent and carefree appearance, Zhao Ling'er could not help but smile.
She reached out and gently stroked Yantian. "I was created by Master's own hands too."
"Uh, I suppose you were!" Yantian scratched his head and smiled somewhat sheepishly.
Then he grew excited again. "But Sister Ling'er, you're so pretty. Can you come play with me often from now on?"
Zhao Ling'er's heart warmed at his words, but when she thought of her duties, her spirits dimmed again.
She gave a soft sigh. "I can, but I have other tasks as well and can't enter the Myriad Phenomena Domain often. When I have the chance, I'll definitely come play with you."
The task Zhao Ling'er spoke of was naturally guarding Chen Ze's true body in Wannan City.
"Okay, okay! Sister Ling'er is so nice!" Yantian did not notice the change in her mood and continued leading the way in high spirits.
In just a few words' time, the two passed through several palace halls and arrived at the main hall where Chen Ze was.
"Master, Sister Ling'er is here." The moment he entered the main hall, Yantian skipped toward the figure at its center.
Chen Ze turned around. "Ling'er, you've worked hard."
Zhao Ling'er hurriedly bowed
