"My guest, you will understand once you see for yourself."
Seeing the flicker of doubt in Chen Changming's eyes, the old shopkeeper offered a faint smile, his expression tinged with a hint of mystery.
The master of their Treasure Pavilion was the number one figurehead in Phoenix Arrival City; ordinary people couldn't hope to meet her even if they wanted to.
He couldn't fathom what kind of dog-shit luck this Golden Core cultivator had stumbled upon to be granted an audience with the master.

Chen Changming was taken aback.
This Li Fengling looked almost identical to Su Linger; how could he not find her
