"Why aren't you saying anything? What's the meaning of keeping quiet?" Duàn Cāngqióng snorted at Yan Xuanhong's silence. "What, do you want this old man to hang you from a tree and beat you until you know to work hard at your cultivation?"
"Hahaha, Elder Duan, don't be so harsh on the younger generation. Everything will straighten itself out when the boat reaches the bridge." At that moment, Li Zhōujūn's laughter filled the hall.
When Duàn Cāngqióng heard Li Zhōujūn's voice, delight appeared on his face. "Mr. Li? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
"I'm preparing to head to Chaos Heaven, so I came to visit an old friend before leaving." At that moment, Li Zhōujūn's figure appeared in the main hall as well. He looked at Duàn Cāngqióng and smiled.
Yan Xuanhong also showed a trace of delight when he saw Li Zhōujūn suddenly appear.

"Indeed." Duàn Cāngqióng nodded deeply in agreement, then smiled. "You're preparing to head to Chaos Heaven so soon?
