Saint Jieyin heard this and cast a warm, appreciative gaze at Zhunti. "If not for Junior Brother braving the wind and dew these years, traveling across the four corners of the world and tirelessly enlightening those with affinity, bringing so many outstanding talents into our Western Teachings, how could we have achieved today's grandeur? Junior Brother, thanks for all your effort!" With that, he actually bowed and offered a solemn salute of thanks.
Saint Zhunti's eyes grew slightly hot. He hurriedly supported Jieyin by the arms, his voice trembling faintly. "Senior Brother, this bow of yours is truly too much for me! Everything I've done was for the lasting foundation and eternal prosperity of our Western Teachings. The way you're treating me like an outsider makes it seem as though you regard your own brother as a passerby!" He pretended to be displeased as he spoke, but a smile lingered between his brows.
Saint Jieyin understood perfectly. He merely nodded with a smile. "Your sincerity is fully known to your elder brother. The road ahead is long and arduous, so I'll still need you to make several more trips."
Zhunti laughed heartily. "Hahaha... How could working for the prosperity of our Western Teachings be called tiring?" His expression then turned solemn, and he said seriously, "Senior Brother, the Witch Clan's thirteenth Ancestor Witch has now descended into the world. This concerns the flow of destiny. I must make plans early and lay the groundwork for our Western Teachings' future."
Saint Jieyin's gaze suddenly sharpened. Golden flames surged in his pupils, reality and illusion intertwining within them. He said in a low voice, "Do you understand, Junior Brother? This move will involve extremely far-reaching consequences. Karma is like a chain, and the slightest carelessness will make escape from countless calamities impossible.
