"I can actually see my master's Life Panel?"
Looking at the panel before him, Ye Lin was astonished.
Previously, because the gap between their cultivation levels was too great, he hadn't been able to see Chu Xue's panel. Now that he had broken through to the Golden Core stage, he could.

And now, she actually had someone to rely on. And that person was her own disciple.
"Get ready. We'll head to the Long Family tomorrow."
With that, Chu Xue walked toward her residence.
She would never tell
