Hua Yunfei turned his head toward Xi Yue and nodded with a smile. "I just came out of seclusion and wanted to see you, Senior Sister."
"Does that mean...?" Xi Yue came forward, asking expectantly.
"It went fairly smoothly." Hua Yunfei nodded. He had broken through and was now a Hegemon Grade being.
"Congratulations! I'm so happy for you, Senior Brother! Master will be thrilled when he hears, too!" Xi Yue smiled beautifully, genuinely happy for Hua Yunfei.

Xi Yue laughed. "That's far more useful than cultivation. After being part of the sect for so long, I've gradually started enjoying the feeling of having powerful backing."

"Seeing them break through makes me happier than breaking through
