Their eyes met.
Luo Jiangyan's pupils contracted slightly.
What a unique woman!
Her aura was so pure it was nearly void, her beauty cool and otherworldly. Most striking of all were the two conspicuous white pupils within those pitch-black eyes—so deep they seemed capable of swallowing a person's soul, yet so clear they could reflect the most secret thoughts hidden in one's heart.
This woman was no ordinary cultivator. Her bearing even surpassed that of Venerable Qingyun, whom Luo Jiangyan considered the most immortal-like among all the powerful figures she had seen.
And at the moment Luo Jiangyan appeared, an almost imperceptible glimmer of icy crystalline light seemed to flow through the depths of Bai Ling's pure white pupils.
The Divine Lord's aura... Though faint, it shares the same origin. She murmured inwardly, her gaze sweeping over Luo Jiangyan. Luo Jiangyan... one of the people closest to Fang Mo, the Tianli Sect's Holy Son... It is getting closer and closer.
However, her gaze soon returned to its tranquil stillness.
"I thought something had happened. What is there to worry about when I came out for training?" Guan Lu said with a smile, taking Luo Jiangyan's hand.
Luo Jiangyan smiled faintly and did not press the matter. Instead, she looked at Bai Ling. "I heard she is a friend you know. Why won't you introduce her?"
"Of course! Let me introduce you. This is Sister Bai Ling, a good friend I met in Galaxy City. Sister Bai Ling gave me pills, and she even accompanied me on this training trip!" Guan Lu enthusiastically introduced her, completely unaware of the subtle tension in the air.
Luo Jiangyan suppressed her doubts and gave Bai Ling a slight nod. "I am Luo Jiangyan, Guan Lu's sister. Thank you, Miss Bai, for looking after her."
