Boom!!
The voice thundered through headquarters like a lightning strike, making the entire enormous building tremble slightly-including the two women in the office!
Ye Li came back?!
Zuo Qingyu and Cai Jingyun rose almost simultaneously, wearing different expressions!
Zuo Qingyu's first reaction was disbelief.
But she was no stranger to the man who had spoken.
It was none other than the venerable Zhou Shang, previously one of Huaxia's only two Land Immortals!
With Old Master Zhou's steady temperament...
Would he have cried out so loudly and lost his composure here in the Qingyi Bureau headquarters unless he had seen it with his own eyes?
In other words...
"He really came back?!"
Zuo Qingyu tightened her grip on the jade slip, a trace of instinctive joy appearing on her normally frosty face.
"..."
Beside her, Cai Jingyun was deeply shaken as well.
Once, when the defensive line under her command had stood on the brink of falling, with everyone facing certain death, that godlike figure had descended from the sky and dragged her back from death's door!
From that moment on.
A seed had taken root and sprouted in her heart.
But Cai Jingyun was an exceptionally rational person.
For various reasons, she had hidden those profound feelings deep within her heart, never revealing the slightest hint to anyone.
She only wanted to quietly protect this hard-won peace, and she did not want her feelings to affect the bureau's other Arbiters.
But while some hesitated over every consequence, others could throw all caution aside.
Whoosh!!
A sharp rush of air suddenly rang out in the corridor outside!
Someone had ignored the prohibition and used a divine art right there in the headquarters corridor, racing toward the source of the voice!
Every window along the corridor trembled slightly under the violent gust!
