At the other end, Li Chungang entered the banquet hall.
As soon as he entered, he spotted the sword-robed man, Han Qingxue, and Han Paopao.
However, their expressions as they sat there were far from pleasant, especially the sword-robed man, whose face was exceptionally grim.
What was going on? What had happened?
Muttering to himself, Li Chungang approached curiously.
When he reached the three of them, Li Chungang cupped his fists in greeting. "Greetings, fellow Daoists."
"Judging by your expressions, it seems something unpleasant has happened?"
At once, Han Paopao's eyes lit up.
Li Chungang had returned.
That also meant he was no longer alone.
More importantly, he knew that since Li Chungang had arrived here only after so long, something had most likely happened outside.
The matter concerning the two women, Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Mei'er, was probably related to him as well. Otherwise, how could they have been found so precisely if they were not someone known to him?
"You're here."
The sword-robed man sighed. After glancing at Li Chungang, he said, "Of the five disciples from my Heaven Sword Sect, only you three remain now."
"Although the two women, Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Mei'er, have decent talent, they did not qualify to enter the Shangqing Sacred Land. Yet their husband actually became a disciple of the Shangqing Sacred Land, which means they can no longer return to the Heaven Sword Sect with me."
"If I had known this would happen, I should never have agreed to come here. Even if I had come, I should not have brought those two women along. Now, before the others have even begun, those two have already entered the ranks of the Shangqing Sacred Land."
At this point, the sword-robed man sighed again, his expression becoming even more unwilling and dejected.
