"Mm, our days are won through struggle. Fighting and killing are acts of helplessness too. Do you really think I don't know when to advance and when to retreat?" I said with a bitter smile. There were still many things waiting for me to do. With my cultivation not even at the Third Dao Realm, how could I dare relax for even a moment?
"This entire interface is filled with familiar faces, and not even a mosquito can fly in from outside. If they could fly in, there wouldn't have been merely a few hundred people while you were drinking last night—there would probably have been hundreds of thousands." Zhao Qian reached out and gently smoothed my faintly furrowed brow.
"Isn't that a little exaggerated?" I asked with a startled laugh, gently taking her hand. Looking at her charming, bashful expression, I couldn't resist teasing her a little.
Zhao Qian turned to the other side and said, "Of course not. Your waking up was absolutely worth celebrating, and it's not as if it was anything shameful. But to prevent people from the Jie Cult or Dao Alliance from assassinating you, we made thorough preparations. And to ease the traffic here without disrupting the residents' normal lives, even many familiar immortals were turned away at the door."
"Three years is too long. A whole bunch of old friends are dying to see me. There's no need to be so devoid of human feeling." I smiled bitterly.
"All right, we know what we're doing. Everyone will understand too. Besides, with what happened recently involving Eastern Sovereign Xia Ruize, they'll have enough to keep them busy for a while. Just stay here without worry," Zhao Qian advised.
I nodded and said with a bitter smile, "All right. I'll rest for one more day."
