Southern Jambu Continent, Yuzhou City.
Chu Xingchen stood in midair, surveying the Sect in Yuzhou City, where everything looked normal.
Chen Baiqing was as small as ever, reading a book she held in her hands, with candied fruit set beside her on the table.
Xie Lingyu sat opposite Chen Baiqing, holding hot tea, and also looked toward Chu Xingchen with a gentle smile.

Her face was full of smiles as she spoke expectantly;
"I missed you so much, Master. Come have a piece of candied fruit."

The strange sensation made Chu Xingchen stop and look at his arm in puzzlement.
What... was going on?
Chu Xingchen circulated his divine sense
