Lin Xuan murmured inwardly, a glint of greed already appearing in his eyes.
Lian You was only at the middle Inner Core stage, yet she gave Lin Xuan a far stronger impression than Ding Zhuo, who was at the late Inner Core stage.

Lian You had never liked wasting words. She had already said enough today.
Blade intent began to bloom from her body, and Law Runes started to glow, drawing upon the power of a Mysterious Phenomenon to bolster her.
