"Honglan pays her respects to Grandmaster!"
Xue Honglan's figure materialized. Upon seeing Chen Lin, she first offered a formal bow, then stepped forward and asked with concern, "Grandmaster, we haven't heard from you in so many years. Master and all of us have been worried sick. How are you doing now?"
Chen Lin smiled. "Nothing's wrong. Everything is fine. Let's talk about your side instead. Have you encountered any difficulties?"
He had always thought highly of this disciple whom Chen Ling'er valued most.
She had likely given up the chance to go to the Immortal Palace not because there were too few places, but because she wanted to stay and maintain the Yucai Sect. That devotion was worthy of praise as well.
Xue Honglan shook her head. "Everything is fine here. The Awakeners and some Super Experts have already left with the Immortal Palace, and the Tiancang Realm's overall strength has fallen considerably. With Dong Yunqiu and me holding the fort, and Sect Master Yue of the Divine Will Sect looking after us, practically no one dares set their sights on the Yucai Sect."
"Oh?"
Chen Lin paused in surprise. "Yue Tianyi didn't leave with the Immortal Palace?"
Given Yue Tianyi's cultivation and standing, obtaining a place should not have been difficult. Even if he could not secure one through normal channels, Xin Yueling could have gotten one for him.
Xue Honglan replied, "No. Sect Master Yue said there were too many uncertainties about the Immortal Palace's return to the Immortal Realm. He would rather stay in the Tiancang Realm and be its local emperor. Besides Sect Master Yue, some other Void Refinement experts stayed as well. The balance of power in the Tiancang Realm has changed enormously."
Chen Lin nodded slightly.
Everyone thought differently, so naturally they acted differently
