On the sixth-floor lounge, Yue Qianchou stood quietly before the crystal window, watching the scene outside. Hearing movement behind him, he turned and saw Lu Yanqing had arrived. He immediately smiled. "Lu... beautiful Lu is here."
Only when addressing her face-to-face in earnest did he realize he had no idea what to call her. Calling her Senior Lu was clearly no longer appropriate, yet calling her by name directly felt somewhat strange, even though he now had the standing to do so. So he continued with his usual glib style, skirting past it with praise and compliments.
At that form of address, Lu Yanqing's unhurried steps paused slightly. She looked at Yue Qianchou with a complicated expression. Back then, he had been a little cultivator who had not even dared overstep his bounds before her; now, his accomplishments had left all the experts of the human realm eating dust behind him. She could not help marveling at Bi Changchun's discerning eye. He had chosen such an unruly disciple, yet that disciple had gathered all the experts of the human realm beneath his command. There was something of the pupil surpassing the master in it. The Punishment Envoy of the Demon Ghost Domain was continuing that undefeated legend in the human realm.
She paused only briefly before walking gracefully up to him and asking with a trace of puzzlement, "Did you need something from me?"
Yue Qianchou brought out the hand behind his back, drew one card from two gleaming golden invitations, and handed it to her. "This is a wedding invitation Mu Tianjiao sent you." Looking at the slender, fair fingers like jade-green onions as they accepted the invitation, he could not help sighing inwardly. She truly deserved to be called the greatest beauty in the human realm.
