The moment Ni Huanzhi saw the swarm of crows, she knew who had arrived. Thus, she offered no resistance and allowed the crows to carry her away.
Above a secluded house in Kirin City, a great number of crows gathered together, and two figures soon appeared.
"Master?" Ni Huanzhi called out in surprise.
"You were in such a hurry to find me. What is it?" Lin Chuan's indifferent Sharingan turned toward the girl beside him. The orange cat in his arms raised its slit-pupiled eyes to glance at Ni Huanzhi, but showed no reaction.
"I... it wasn't anything important... The Floating Spirit Divine Palace is about to open, but you disappeared for seven years. I was just a little worried!" Ni Huanzhi said with a smile.
In the seven years since they had last met, she had been searching for Lin Chuan's whereabouts. Unfortunately, while Lin Chuan was in the Ethereal Immortal Mansion, she could not find a single clue. The only thing she could be sure of was that he was not dead, because the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal had not disappeared.
"You really should stay in your Violet Jade Sword Sect lately. It's too dangerous outside. Although your cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul stage, that's still not enough for you to gain a foothold in Kirin City as it is now," Lin Chuan said impassively.
"It's fine. I can just follow you, Master!" Ni Huanzhi said, looking at Lin Chuan.
"I don't need you to follow me," Lin Chuan said bluntly, turning to leave.
He had brought Ni Huanzhi here purely on a whim. He had never intended to take her into the Floating Spirit Divine Palace.
"Wait... There's something I want to ask you..." Seeing Lin Chuan about to leave, Ni Huanzhi immediately spoke up.
