"Oh? So it was you..."
"You waited here specifically for me. What is it you want?"
Though it had only been a fleeting glimpse, Jiang Yan clearly still remembered the woman he had met once before.
His thoughts swirled as he tried to guess her true purpose.
After all, they had never spoken before and barely knew each other. Jiang Yan couldn't understand why she would stop him when they were nothing more than chance acquaintances.
"Dao Lord, may I ask whether you know of my Skybreak Sword Sect?"
Yu Qingjue held the Skybreak Sword in her hand. Though she temporarily possessed Dao Realm Power, she still felt a mountain-heavy pressure bearing down on her in Jiang Yan's presence. Unable to help feeling nervous, she said:
"My Skybreak Sword Sect is a Dao Realm power. We currently govern the White Bird Star Domain and are considered a first-rate force among the Human Race."
She paused to give Jiang Yan time to take it in, then continued slowly:
"Now, my Skybreak Sword Sect is inviting powerful experts to join us. I stopped you because I wish to invite you to join my sect."
"My sect is willing to honor you as Grand Elder. You would stand above millions, second to none!"
With that, Yu Qingjue bent deeply at the waist, her eyes filled with sincerity.
"What? The Skybreak Sword Sect wants to invite me in too? What on earth is going on?"
"What's wrong with them? The Human Race sects in this Golden Great World don't have even the slightest caution?"
"They barely know anything about me or my past, yet they dare invite a Dao Realm expert to join their sect so directly."
"Are they not afraid I might be a scheming sort who'll take over their home after joining?"
