Over the years, Ren Lingrong had indeed gained considerable strength and opportunities. Yet before Su Shi'er, her attitude remained unchanged.
But after finishing her greeting, her peripheral vision involuntarily swept over the surroundings atop Tianyu Peak, two flashes of worry flickering through her eyes.
Seeing this, Su Shi'er hurriedly asked, "Hm? What is it? Is something amiss?"
"Earlier, at the foot of the mountain, I intended to pay my respects to you directly. But I unexpectedly sensed the aura of this mountain shaking again and again, as though someone was breaking a formation while fighting an enemy. Several Communication Talismans in succession were destroyed by those surging auras. Senior... you have not encountered any trouble, have you?"
Ren Lingrong continued, looking at Su Shi'er with concern in her eyes and utter sincerity in her heart.
The vigilance Su Shi'er had just begun to feel deepened somewhat upon hearing this.
Oh? So this little girl had arrived long ago?
That makes sense. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence occur?
Coming back to himself, Su Shi'er smiled calmly. "Nothing is wrong. It was merely two spirit beasts sparring with each other."
"But you, little girl—surely you have not come to find this old man merely to inquire after his well-being?"
Without explaining anything about the young Cloud Dragon and the spirit turtle, Su Shi'er spoke lightly before changing the subject and asking in return.
Ren Lingrong's expression turned solemn as she hurriedly said, "A senior is indeed a senior. You truly see through everything as though it were written in your palm. I came this time because I have a matter to entrust to you!"
"Could it be that something has gone wrong again with the operation concerning Azure Star?"
Su Shi'er immediately pressed further.
He did not bother concealing his concern
