As expected, after he revealed his identity, the Flood Dragon before him who called herself Qinghe quieted down considerably and stopped asking whether he had come to poach someone right under their noses.
Bai Xuanling had a fearsome reputation, but that did not mean everyone feared her.
At least the Profound Clarity Heavenly Sect did not. After all, strictly speaking, the Profound Clarity Heavenly Sect of those days had been far more ruthless than Bai Xuanling.
As Qinghe quieted down, Xu Jin began looking around the sect.
After the man and Flood Dragon had walked for a while, Qinghe suddenly stopped, pointed toward the Main Hall straight ahead, and said:
"The Black-Hearted Brat is in the Main Hall up ahead. Go on by yourself."
"Sorry for the trouble."
Xu Jin cupped his hands slightly and walked toward the Main Hall without saying anything more. Before he even entered, Chu Xingchen's voice reached him:
"Long time no see, Brother Xu."
Xu Jin looked over and saw Chu Xingchen gazing at the documents on the desk, his brows slightly furrowed. A woman in white held a book, her expression serene and refined.
Xu Jin knew this woman: Bai Xuanling's only disciple-Xie Lingyu.
"Long time no see, though it seems I've come at a bad time." Xu Jin cupped his hands slightly, then looked toward Xie Lingyu and said,
"Fellow Daoist Xie, it's been a while."
Xie Lingyu put down her book and raised her hands to return his greeting. "It has indeed."
Although Xu Jin found it somewhat strange that Xie Lingyu was staying here now, he had no intention of prying into their affairs.
Even if the two became dao companions, it would have nothing to do with Xu Jin. Gossip that made no difference whether he sampled it or not
