Chapter 88

Who was Wei Huai? Venerable Qianshan's only disciple, the Cloudflower Sect's foremost disciple, a gifted Cultivator and one of the brightest talents of his generation.

Everyone there knew who he was. Seeing him greet Pei Ling and Qiao Ranran so warmly, they could not help wondering who those two young people were. Were they heirs of some reclusive family, or the chosen disciples of some hidden elder?

The crowd buzzed with speculation, heads bent together as people debated their identities. Those who had connections with Feng Changdong, the Heavenly Evolution Sword Sect or the Cloudflower Sect had already gone over to ask.
