"Xinyou, after a hundred years away, you found yourself a Dao companion?"
Ye Lin stood before Xinyou, looking at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
The two of them looked intimate no matter how one viewed them.
"Pah! What Dao companion? He and I are friends."
Before Xinyou could speak, the purple colossal beast at his side spoke first.
A crisp voice entered Ye Lin's ears.
"Oh? Really?"
Ye Lin raised an eyebrow at the purple colossal beast.
Just ordinary friends?
Really?
Ye Lin did not believe it.
Because when he looked at Xinyou, Xinyou's gaze had been evasive.
That evasive gaze alone showed that these two were far more than merely ordinary friends.

"Xinyou's bloodline is damaged. I'm taking him back to the clan so Grandfather Clan Chief can restore his bloodline."
"The reason he still can't speak is precisely because his bloodline is damaged."
"And if it isn't restored, his realm won't
