Just as Su Mo sighed inwardly, Zuo Qiu Ting rose to his full height from the Azure Dragon Sacred Sect's side and walked toward the pavilion where Su Mo and the others sat.
"Xun Yue, it has been a long time. Have you been well lately?"
Arriving before the Heavenly Spirit Sect's pavilion, Zuo Qiu Ting wore a gentle smile as he spoke to Qian Xun Yue.
