"Dong Yunqiu pays her respects, my lord!"
Before long, Liu Shengyuan returned with two figures. One was Dong Yunqiu, and the other was a middle-aged man.
Chen Lin looked Dong Yunqiu over. Her cultivation had advanced again. At this rate, her ascension to Void Refinement was just around the corner.
"Are you satisfied with life in the Yucai Sect?"
Her cultivation was high, her methods formidable, and her schemes deep. Xue Honglan probably could not keep her in check, so he would have to rein her in from time to time.
"My lord, life here is quite good, but I still want to stay by your side. It would be best if you could take me with you."
Dong Yunqiu looked like a meek little wife, casting expectant glances at Chen Lin.

"Rest assured, my lord. Honglan and I are as close as sisters. I won't let her suffer any losses. Besides, a mere Yucai Sect isn't worth scheming over. Since you need me to stay here, I'll stay."
Dong Yunqiu answered nonchalantly.

"Yue Tianyi and Xue Honglan?"
Chen Lin was rather stunned.
Yue Tianyi was a Void Refinement Cultivator, with an enormous cultivation gap between him and Xue Honglan. How could the two have gotten together? Besides, they were separated by seniority-and by more than one generation
