Hearing the words of those Worry-forgetting Sect disciples, Ning Wangshu could not help chuckling. He had no intention of taking offense at them, nor could he be bothered to say anything more.
Instead, he used his immortal sense to send Luo Han a voice transmission. "Luo Han, your master has returned. I'm right outside the Worry-forgetting Sect!"
At the sudden sound of Ning Wangshu's voice, Luo Han, who had been cultivating in seclusion, snapped her eyes open, her face lighting up with overwhelming delight.
The next moment, she ended her seclusion without hesitation and rushed out.
Her movements also alerted Luo Shuqing, the Huaiyang King, Lu Yuanguan, and the others, who were likewise cultivating in seclusion nearby.
When they noticed Luo Han suddenly emerge and rush out so urgently, they were taken aback.
Then they all hurried out after her.
"Grandmaster, what's wrong? Has something happened? Why did you suddenly end your seclusion and rush out in such a hurry?" Luo Shuqing could not help asking.
Luo Han had no time to explain at length. She merely said hurriedly, "My master has returned, and he's right outside the sect!"
"W-what?! Patriarch Ning has returned?"
At those words, Luo Shuqing's breath caught, and delight immediately spread across her face.
The Huaiyang King, Lu Yuanguan, and the others beside her reacted in much the same way.
Only then did they finally understand why Luo Han had ended her seclusion so suddenly and hurried outside. Ning Wangshu had returned!
Luo Shuqing and the others could no longer stay put either. They rushed toward the gates of the Worry-forgetting Sect together, saying urgently, "Quick! Since Patriarch Ning has returned, let's hurry over to pay our respects!"
"That's right! Master said back then that he would return to the Cangyuan Realm after a thousand years.
