Liu Rumian's cultivation speed left Chen Lin awestruck.
When he first met her, she had only been at mid Semi-Void, yet now she was already attempting to break through to the Void Realm.
She was the fastest cultivator he had ever encountered, bar none.
Hearing Chen Lin's question, Liu Rumian shook her head.
"No, I'm still not quite ready. I may need to travel for a while."
"Haha, you really should take some time to consolidate. Your cultivation speed is already fast enough. If you broke through to the Void Realm in one leap, wouldn't that make me look useless?"
Chen Lin smiled, comforting her with a joke.
Liu Rumian rolled her eyes.
"You have an innate law origin, so it's normal for your cultivation to progress slowly. Even Yaochi, with her talent and background, hasn't advanced much faster than you. For a rogue cultivator, what you've accomplished is already impressive."
"Oh, right, you don't really count as a rogue cultivator either. You're a Domain Suppression Envoy of the Crape Myrtle Palace, responsible for keeping descendants of sinners like us in line."
Remembering Chen Lin's identity, Liu Rumian tossed out a casual jab.
Chen Lin spread his hands.
"As a Domain Suppression Envoy, I don't even know which way the Crape Myrtle Palace's front gate faces. The title makes no difference."
"That's because you aren't strong enough."
Liu Rumian dealt him a merciless blow.
"Domain Suppression Envoys suppress the higher beings of the Upper Seven Realms to prevent them from entering the Lower Realm. Who could you suppress with your paltry abilities? You should be grateful they don't suppress you."
"Ahem."
Chen Lin gave two dry coughs.
He immediately changed the subject. "How is the exploration of the Chessboard Scenario going? Any new progress?"
At that, Liu Rumian looked helpless.
