The White Robes Woman who had hurried over was none other than Wu Yujun.
She smiled calmly. "There was never any such thing. It's all rumors. As one of the people involved, how come I never saw any so-called letter?"
"Second Sister has returned! Young Madam, Miss Wu has come as well..." Mu Qi led a group to line up at the entrance, his face brimming with delight as he prepared to welcome the ladies home.
Just as the two women were about to step through the gates, several more people were stopped outside an invisible barrier in the Abyss Void behind them.
"Big Brother, it's me, Qu Feng! I came all this way to congratulate you—let me in!"
"Cousin, I'm Tang Xiaodong..."
Yuan Qu Feng, Tang Xiaodong, and the others who had rushed back upon hearing the news in Mayfly Land No. 1 were, like Yuan Li Ye, all "politely declined" by Lingping Heaven.
As for lackeys like Yuan Qu Feng, who swayed with the wind like grass atop a wall, Li Qingyun had only used him temporarily. Once he was done, he would cast him aside like worn-out shoes. Why would he let the man come to his door and bask in the glory of a Quasi-Saint seedling?
As for that cheap cousin Tang Xiaodong, she could go play at being rebellious by herself. She had not taken his previous "instructions" to heart in the slightest.
If Li Qingyun so much as acknowledged Yuan Qu Feng today, that man would be able to use it as a gimmick to reap benefits throughout the clan grounds tomorrow.
Even figures like Elder Yuan, the White-haired Strange Person, had to avoid Li Qingyun by three paces. One could well imagine the prestige of a Quasi-Saint seedling in the Abyss Clan land.
