At the sound of the voice, Chen Lin trembled. He looked at their faces, his eyes brimming with excitement and joy.
"Master, Senior Sister!"
He spoke softly.
As he recalled everything that had happened in Silver Immortal City all those years ago, his voice even grew a little choked.
Then he bowed deeply. "Your disciple Chen Lin pays his respects, Master!"
Silver Fairy looked just as she had back then, with large, gemstone-like eyes and a tall, slender figure, like a girl from an exotic land. Yet she radiated authority without a trace of anger, her presence commanding and awe-inspiring.
"After all these years apart, you've grown as well."
Silver Fairy's face was also filled with excitement, but she kept it in check. As his master, she still had to maintain some dignity.
Mu Linglong cared nothing for that. She immediately stepped forward and pulled Chen Lin up, then hooked her arm around his with an excited expression. "Master doesn't like tedious formalities, so there's no need to bother with them. Hurry up and tell us how you've been all these years!"
Seeing Mu Linglong like this, Chen Lin felt as though she had become the Little Enchantress of Silver Immortal City again. It seemed she had completely escaped the shadow left by Xuanyin Patriarch's attempt to seize her body.
Her cultivation had also reached great perfection of Dao Rhyme.
That made him genuinely happy.
As for his master, he could not quite discern her cultivation. She had probably already surpassed him.
That made him even happier.
His master was no different from family to him. Naturally, the stronger she was, the better. If his master were a True Realm expert, why would he need to be so timid that he dared not even use the spoils he had obtained?
