Hu Liena followed closely on the other side.
The three of them crossed the courtyard of the Holy Son Hall.
The morning wind swept through the treetops, and several fallen leaves drifted down beside the stone table.
Lin Tian raised his hand, and Azure Divine Light spread from his palm.
The fallen leaves were lifted by Soul Power and neatly deposited in the corner of the courtyard.
Hu Liena watched him.
"You just broke through, and you're already using Soul Power?"
"Cleaning the courtyard won't affect anything."
"I can have the maids do it."
"They haven't come over yet."
Hu Liena tightened her grip on his hand.
"Then don't do things like this in the future."
"They're just fallen leaves."
"Not even fallen leaves."
Qian Renxue turned her head slightly.
"If he did nothing at all, you'd think he only knew how to cultivate."
Hu Liena looked at her.
"Even so, he shouldn't expend Soul Power right after breaking through."
"They're only a few fallen leaves."
"Whose side are you on?"
Qian Renxue stopped walking.
She looked at Hu Liena, then lifted her gaze to Lin Tian.
"I stand by his side."
Hu Liena fell silent for a moment.
"That certainly sounds nice."
Qian Renxue did not respond.
She took Lin Tian's hand and continued forward.
The three of them left the Holy Son Hall.
The long stairs ahead led to the Worship Hall.
The golden-armored knights immediately bowed when they saw Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue did not pause.
She led Lin Tian up the stairs.
Hu Liena walked on the other side, the hem of her wine-red dress swaying gently with each step.
Only when they reached the entrance of the Worship Hall did Qian Renxue release Lin Tian.
She turned and adjusted Lin Tian's hair ribbon for him.
