After a quick tidy-up, Xiao Yan flashed into the air above a small courtyard. The aura of a breakthrough had come from directly beneath his feet.
The courtyard belonged to Feng Xian.
Inside, Feng Xian's Nine-Star Dou Zun aura subsided as he gradually emerged from cultivation.

As the light faded, a smile spread across his face. He teased Feng Xian, "Senior Feng, it seems my teacher wants some of your tea too."
Feng Xian froze,
