A Champion Won on Luck

Xu Xing and Hong Sovereign wore rather peculiar expressions, while Ning Ruo and Chen Huan seemed exceptionally calm.

"I never expected to run into Senior Brother and Spirit Ancestor here." In the end, Chen Huan was the first to speak.

Ning Ruo gave a slight nod.

"Long time no see."

Ning Ruo wasn't particularly familiar with Chen Huan, since they'd only met a few times over all these years.

Chen Huan, however, knew Ning Ruo quite well.

Or rather, she knew her identity as the "True Immortal Spirit Ancestor" well. She had even worked with her on several operations against the Cang Race.

And so, the two exchanged only a few simple pleasantries.

As for Xu Xing and Hong Sovereign, they hadn't said a word from beginning to end.

After parting ways, they continued onward for a while.

"Judging by the looks of it, they've cleared things up between them," Ning Ruo said suddenly.

"Yeah, it seems they have..."

They'd thought it would take quite a while, but the two had talked things out in less than half a day.

Wait!

After that fight, Hong Sovereign had come out carrying Junior Sister Chen Huan in his arms.

In other words, they must have put their differences aside even earlier...

Was a fight really that effective?

Tsk, tsk.

If Junior Sister Chen Huan had chosen to stay with the Sword Sect instead of going with Hong Sovereign to the Supreme Dao Sect, things would've gotten interesting.

"I imagine Dao Friend Star Ancestor's mindset changed after successfully attaining the Dao," Ning Ruo said with a hint of emotion. "Just as mine did back then."

"Back then?"

Her words had successfully piqued Xu Xing's curiosity.

"What is it?"

"Nothing. It's all in the past."

"..."

He was usually the one speaking in riddles.
