Qing Xuan's gaze swept over the young girl.
The Five Elements energy had already fully returned to her body. The five-colored rosy light that occasionally flowed from her sleeves was no longer as sharply exposed as it had been when she first broke through.
Given her innate foundation, the Taiyi realm had never been a difficult barrier to cross.
What truly satisfied Qing Xuan was that she had not rushed out of seclusion, but patiently sorted through and consolidated her realm once more.
"Your foundation is fairly stable, and the Five-Colored Divine Light has become much more refined than before you entered seclusion."
Qing Xuan watched her for a moment before finally nodding. "Not bad."
The smile in Kong Xuan's eyes immediately deepened.
Qing Yi raised a hand and smoothed a loose strand of hair that had been scattered by the mountain wind when Kong Xuan had hurried over.
"When did you break through?"
"Some time ago."
Kong Xuan answered honestly. "When I first emerged from seclusion, Master and Mistress had not finished cultivating yet. Later, I thought that if I ran out right after entering Taiyi, Master probably would not let me leave, so I went back and consolidated my cultivation for a while longer."
As she spoke, she could not help glancing at Qing Xuan.
The little thought hidden in her words naturally could not escape the two of them.
Besides not wanting to leave behind hidden dangers in her cultivation, the reason she had been willing to return to seclusion was clearly because she had been thinking about what Qing Xuan had promised her.
Qing Xuan did not deliberately make her wait any longer. "Now that you have attained Taiyi, you may go out."
These were precisely the words Kong Xuan had waited so long to hear.
