When Ye Yu turned his head, he saw Murong Xue, who had been waiting by the entrance all this time.
Only, several more figures now stood beside Murong Xue. They were precisely the Integrated Body Realm Cultivators Ye Yu had sensed earlier.
Their condition was far better than Murong Chen's, their bodies at least appearing normal.
Yet they too seemed to be shrouded by some kind of power.
"Is Grandpa all right?!" The moment she saw Ye Yu, Murong Xue hurried forward. She had not seen Murong Chen for a long time.
Ye Yu shook his head. "Not very well."
After saying that, Ye Yu watched Murong Xue's expression. Yet her face held only deep sorrow, nothing else.
"Xue, this must be the honored guest the Pavilion Master spoke of, yes?" An aged voice sounded out. It came from one of the Integrated Body Realm Cultivators who had been standing behind Murong Xue.
Murong Xue nodded, and the expressions of those people immediately changed. The way they looked at Ye Yu became fervent.
With such a group staring at him, Ye Yu felt his scalp go numb and instinctively took a step back.
But the next moment, the group surrounded him. Their enthusiasm left Ye Yu at a loss, and each of them took out something, insisting on stuffing it into his hands.
Pie did not fall from the sky—Ye Yu naturally understood that. Though the items they produced were precious, none were things he absolutely had to have, so he politely declined them all.
They did not get angry at being refused. They simply smiled and followed beside Ye Yu. Wherever he went, they stuck close behind him.
Ye Yu was getting impatient. He shot Murong Xue a meaningful look, and the two of them left the cave together.
