Luo Yao, who never seemed to grow up.
But Zhang Ling'er was truly terrifying. They had not seen each other for only a short time, yet her cultivation had already reached the second level of the Quasi-Saint realm.
That breakthrough speed was as effortless as eating and drinking.
At this rate, she would probably enter the third level of the Quasi-Saint realm before long.
Truly terrifying.

Ye Lin carried Luo Yao as he walked through the crowd.
Just as Ye Lin was about to carry Luo Yao out of the city and wait for Zhang Ling'er beyond its walls, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure flashed past his eyes.
"This is..."
A sharp glint flashed through Ye Lin's eyes.
Then, carrying Luo Yao, he took several strides forward and followed behind them.
The person ahead walked, and Ye Lin followed behind.
He followed them all the way out of the city before the figure ahead—wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a long sword on his back—slowly came to a halt.

At the time, his strength had earned him the title of the Star River Cosmos's number one.
"Let's find a place."
"Have a drink."
