How things turned out afterward went without saying.
The Heavenly Emperor took a liking to Mu Chen, who, after transforming into the Undying Golden Body, had managed to successfully swing the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
As for that, Xiao Se and Lin Dong naturally had no objections.
"We meet again."
Before parting, Xiao Se also greeted Mu Chen.
"Thank you for making a move to help me."
"Senior, you praise me too much."
Toward this senior with whom he had already formed a good bond before, Mu Chen was naturally filled with gratitude. Besides, if this time the man had not been uninterested in that peerless divine ability, it likely would not have been his turn.
"There is no need to feel as if you owe me anything because of this."
Seeming to see the look in Mu Chen's eyes, Xiao Se shook his head.
"My mother once said that everyone has their own fate, but that is not so-called destiny. It is the path one ought to walk."
"If you want to go further, you must do what ordinary people cannot."
"So keep walking well. Perhaps one day, we will be able to meet at the summit."
Xiao Se then raised his hand, and a small, delicate candlestick flew out.
"Light it, and I can come to your side. However, there is only one chance, so feel free to call on me."
"Thank you, Senior."
"Senior?"
At the side, Lin Dong raised an eyebrow, and Mu Chen could only explain the connection between the other party and his mother as old acquaintances.
"I don't think that matters, does it? Elder Sister called him that back then too, and now doesn't she still call him by name when she should?"
Beside Xiao Se, Xiao Xiao could not help but roast him.
