"Please, senior."
The gatekeeper's expression changed. He bowed respectfully to Ye Lin, who merely nodded and stepped into the Tianyan Sect.
Watching Ye Lin's retreating figure, the gatekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Just a wisp of his aura had made him feel as though death was upon him.
Someone like that was far beyond his ability to resist. If he'd tried to stop him, he'd likely be the one to die.
Ye Lin made his way into the Tianyan Sect. Disciples hurried back and forth around him, and when they looked at him, their eyes held a trace of confusion.
"Fellow Daoist, you look a bit unfamiliar."
A young man with a Long Sword strapped to his back suddenly approached Ye Lin and asked politely.
In this world, it was always best to keep a low profile.
"I'm here to see Senior Chu Xue. Where does she live?"
"You're here to see Elder Chu Xue? See that mountain peak? Master Chu Xue is up there."
Ye Lin glanced in the direction the young man pointed and nodded.
"Thank you."
With that, he set off toward the mountain peak.
"What a strange fellow."
The young man watched Ye Lin's retreating figure, scratched his head, then shook it and left.
Ye Lin made his way up the mountain. At the summit stood a small courtyard, where Chu Xue was instructing Xiao Li.
"Cultivation requires a calm mind. Remember, you mustn't let your heart become unsettled."
Watching Chu Xue carefully teach Xiao Li, Ye Lin smiled and quietly walked into the courtyard.
"What brings you here?"
Chu Xue had already noticed Ye Lin as he entered the courtyard. She smiled at him.
After all, Ye Lin had walked right in without hiding himself, so Chu Xue had spotted him at once.
