Inside the grand hall, Yao Lao sat in the seat of honor. Seeing the three enter, he slowly rose and approached them, looking at Gu Xun'er. "Miss Xun'er, it has been a long time!"
"You're too kind, Senior Saint Yao. You've taught Brother Xiao Yan for so many years. I must thank you for that!" Gu Xun'er hurriedly waved her hands, then bowed to Yao Lao.
"No need for such courtesy. Come to think of it, this is our first formal meeting, so let me introduce myself. My name is Yao Chen, Pavilion Master of the Fallen Star Pavilion." Yao Lao waved a hand, his face wreathed in smiles.
"Teacher, my name is Gu Xun'er, daughter of Gu Yuan, the Ancient Clan Chief."
Seeing how formally Yao Lao introduced himself, Gu Xun'er hurriedly bowed.
"Hehe, 'Teacher' sounds wonderful. Call me Teacher from now on." Yao Lao nodded, his smile growing even broader.
As for her exalted identity as the Ancient Clan Chief's daughter, he and Xiao Yan had already more or less guessed it, so they were not particularly surprised.
"Miss Xun'er, will your clan object to your visit to the Fallen Star Pavilion? How long can you stay?" Once everyone was seated, Yao Lao was the first to speak, asking Gu Xun'er.
"Although some in the clan object, most don't dare voice it because of my status and abilities.
"As for how long, only three months. Any longer, and those old fellows in the clan will start making a fuss."
A trace of helplessness appeared on Gu Xun'er's face.
Although she was the clan chief's daughter, her father was a Peak Dou Sheng, and she possessed the Ancient Clan's Divine-Grade Bloodline, she was still constrained by those old fellows. She could not even decide how long she stayed away.
