The Emperor's Teacher!
For the remaining month or so, Lin Bai stayed on Bright Moon Island to recuperate and build up his strength, never venturing outside.
Qin Yao and Qiao Mo prepared a great many healing pills for Lin Bai and placed them in his Storage Bag. Quite a few were exceptionally potent and could save his life at a critical moment.
Time flew by.
On the third day before their departure, a White Deer pulled a carriage across the vast waters of the Water Mirror Sea. Moving steadily over the surface, it gradually arrived at the mountain gate of Tianshui Sect.
At Tianshui Sect's ferry crossing, Sect Master Chu Xi had already been waiting for quite some time with the Grand Elder, Li Zai'en, and several other elders.
When they saw the White Deer pulling the carriage toward them, the Grand Elder and Li Zai'en both narrowed their eyes slightly.
For in all of Chu, there was probably no one who did not recognize this White Deer Carriage.
The White Deer pulling the carriage was a rare species from the primordial era. Its entire body was snow-white, its bearing noble, and a few black spots marked its hide. Within it surged an incomparably powerful force of thunder.
Between the White Deer's two antlers, thunder roiled.
"Is it him?" Li Zai'en asked the Grand Elder in a low voice, his words and tone extremely subdued. Clearly, he was deeply wary of this person.
"The White Deer Carriage—who else could it be?" The Grand Elder drew a deep breath, his face filled with shock. A moment later, a smile appeared on his face. "I never thought the Sect Master would actually invite him here. In that case, Lin Bai should be able to retreat from Heaven and Earth Gate completely unscathed."
