Lin Changqing rose and glanced at the sky outside through the starry expanse of the Realm Origin Pearl.
It was already deep into the night.
Most of the lights in Azure Cloud City were still burning.
But Lin Changqing had no intention of leaving just yet.
He turned toward Su Wanqing, who was cultivating beside the Spirit Spring.
She had been deep in meditation for a long time.
Spiritual light flowed around her, and her aura had grown far stronger than it had been a few days ago.
