"Daoist Jiang, wait. There's one more thing."
Seeing Jiang Yan prepare to leave the Dao Sect so briskly, Venerable Hua hurriedly called out to him and said:
"Thanks to the efforts of so many martial artists, the new Nanyan City has already taken shape. I had a residence built for you in the southern part of the city. Would you like to have a look?"
"When you visit Nanyan City in the future, that will be your place to stay."
Jiang Yan had only recently reached the Jie Realm, yet his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. To Venerable Hua, he seemed wreathed in layers of mist; she couldn't see through him at all.
By now, after working together several times, Jiang Yan had forged a friendship with the Dao Sect's two Great Beings of the Jie Realm.
Venerable Hua wanted to win Jiang Yan over. So, when construction of the new Nanyan City first began, she had already planned to build him a residence.
Recently, she had made a point of checking on its progress. According to reports from her disciples, Jiang Yan's residence was nearly finished. It was a good time to let him see it and learn the way.
"Daoist Hua, you're very thoughtful. All right, let's head to the new Nanyan City."
Jiang Yan accepted the olive branch she offered without hesitation.
No matter what, he had been in Nanyan Prefecture when he first crossed into this world, and he felt a certain kinship with this land.
Now he had led the Three Prefectures across to this new continent, deepening his ties to the place. Accepting a residence here was hardly a big deal.
Besides, this was a gesture of goodwill from the Dao Sect. Jiang Yan had no reason—and no desire—to refuse.
