A Promise with Medusa, Old Hai's Breakthrough, and the Misty Cloud Sect

What was her master usually like? So detached that she almost never took the initiative to say anything unnecessary to others. Yet just now, she had proactively asked Lu Heng when he was going to the Misty Cloud Sect—and in that tone, too.

Nalan Yanran was not stupid.

She had followed Yun Yun for years, but she had never seen her master speak to any man in that tone. Even Gu He had been rejected by her master more times than she could count.

Lu Heng then recounted the important parts of his experiences in the Tagor Desert.

He had helped Medusa refine medicine, guarded her during her evolution, stayed in the Holy City for over half a year, awakened the Small Five Elements Spirit Body, and advanced to a Three-Star Dou Emperor.
