Though Ji Mingyuan felt uneasy, Chen Ze's calm expression did not seem feigned.
He silently weighed his current situation and could not help stealing glances at Chen Ze's face, as still as an ancient well.
Just what realm had this senior's cultivation reached?
His own half-step Spirit Severing Realm cultivation was probably no different from an ant in Chen Ze's eyes.
With that thought, he bent even lower as he said, "Whatever this senior needs this old man to do, please speak freely. This old man will certainly give it his all."
The corners of Chen Ze's lips lifted slightly as he was about to speak, but then his brow twitched. "Sect Master Ji, wait a moment."
As soon as he spoke, spiritual light flashed across the white jade plaza, and two figures appeared at the same time.
Everyone focused their eyes and saw that the arrivals were Chen Fan and Qin Songyun.
"Master!" Chen Fan clasped his fists in salute.
"Domain Lord!" Qin Songyun's voice trembled as he struggled to contain his excitement.
He had never imagined that the Domain Lord would summon him personally, much less that he would one day come to the Immortal Palace.
Chen Ze nodded slightly. "Good. Everyone is here. Let us speak inside."
With that, he turned and walked toward the Immortal Palace, and the others followed close behind.
As they walked, Ji Mingyuan and Qin Songyun unconsciously studied each other.
Their nostrils twitched faintly. Both caught that familiar medicinal fragrance from the other.
It was the mark left by spending years beside a pill furnace.
They exchanged a glance, and understanding dawned in both their hearts.
At that moment, they seemed to have guessed why Chen Ze had summoned them.
Yet the more certain Qin Songyun became, the more puzzled he felt.
