Hearing the woman's voice, Ye Han stood up and headed for the entrance to his Cave Abode.
She certainly hears things quickly. How long had I been back before she knew?
But he immediately realized what had happened.
Hadn't I just saved her disciple?
With a stir of his divine sense, Ye Han opened the doors to his Cave Abode. Azure Phoenix Fairy appeared before him in a green palace gown, a fairy of peerless beauty, with Mo Lan beside her.
At the sight of Ye Han, Azure Phoenix Fairy broke into a smile and bowed. "Junior Brother Ye, it's been a long time! I'm so glad to see you've returned!"
Mo Lan bowed to Ye Han as well. "Greetings, Senior Brother Ye!"
Seeing Mo Lan, Ye Han smiled and nodded, then invited them in. "Come inside, both of you. We can talk there!"
Indeed, Mo Lan was Azure Phoenix Fairy's disciple. When Ye Han had visited Azure Phoenix Fairy back then, Mo Lan had been the one to take him to her. When he saved Mo Lan outside this time, she had recognized him too.
Azure Phoenix Fairy must have learned of his return so quickly because Mo Lan had told her about being rescued.
That was why Azure Phoenix Fairy had brought Mo Lan to see Ye Han in person. She had probably come partly to thank him, and partly to ask about Eldest Senior Brother, hadn't she?
Sure enough, Azure Phoenix Fairy led Mo Lan inside and bowed to Ye Han again. "Junior Brother Ye, Mo Lan only made it back alive this time thanks to your help. I brought her here especially to thank you."
Mo Lan also bowed respectfully. "Senior Brother Ye, you saved my life. I only survived because you came to my rescue.
