"Ruyan, come home. This must be Elder Zhuge's outstanding disciple, yes?"
At that moment, the Zither Demon arrived from afar and stepped onto the warboat's deck, looking at Ye Lin as she spoke gently.
"This junior, Ye Lin, pays respects to Senior."
Ye Lin bowed, while Ye Gudu at his side merely gave a slight salute, his expression indifferent.
"Good. Thank you for lending a hand this time. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you may come to the Zither Sound Sect and find me. Though with your current accomplishments, perhaps you will have no need for my help."
The Zither Demon said with a smile as she pulled the dazed Gu Ruyan behind her.
"I have matters to attend to, so I'll take Ruyan and leave first."
"Take care, Senior."
With that, the Zither Demon took Gu Ruyan and vanished into the starry sky.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, thank you for this matter. I, Ye Gudu, will certainly repay this debt of gratitude in the future. And now, it is time to say farewell."
Ye Gucheng gave Ye Lin a slight salute, while Ye Lin simply waved it off indifferently.
"I'm leaving."

"I should head back too. This trial has lasted long enough."
Ye Lin steered the Stellar Warboat toward the depths of the starry sky, speeding all the way toward the Firmament Sacred Land. This had dragged on for far too long; he had to hurry back.
