A sudden voice broke the tense silence between the group.
Duan Chengshou turned around instinctively after the voice fell.
When he saw who was speaking, he was immediately stunned and taken aback.
The person had already stepped out from behind the crowd, walking quickly forward, their eyes fixed on Lin Xuan, filled with tears and excitement.
Lin Xuan was stunned when he saw the white-clad girl who suddenly appeared.
He never expected to see an old friend here.
Back in the Profound Domain, although he received a letter left by Li Fufeng and knew that the other party should not have perished, when they met again, even he felt a surge of emotions. Many memories from his time in the Azure Yang Sword Sect and in the Profound Domain uncontrollably surfaced.
Eastern Continent is his hometown.
It was where he and his family lived.
Countless joys and countless hardships have all taken place in the Eastern Continent.
The Profound Domain was his homeland, which he could never return to. Twenty years of ups and downs ultimately turned into a shattered array and scorched earth covered in scars.
Those chaotic past events, shattered into fleeting shadows, slowly transform into the image of the person before us.
" Fufeng..."
Duan Chengshou watched the two men staring at each other, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
He leaned forward, subtly interrupting Li Fufeng's gaze, and asked, "Junior Sister, do you two know each other?"
His junior sister, Li Fufeng, is quite famous in the Cang Xuan Holy Heaven now.
As a seed, I was taken in as a disciple—not a student, but a disciple!
Upon arriving and adapting to the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Eastern Continent, he broke through several realms and became Heavenly Venerable thanks to his extraordinary talent and Linglong intellect.
Furthermore, she has an exceptionally good temper, which is quite rare.
Although she is usually aloof and expressionless, she is surprisingly kind-hearted. She cannot stand injustice, which makes her highly regarded among the students of Cang Xuan Holy Heaven. Many disciples and holy masters also adore her. Even though she is not one of the Ten Saints, she still has influence over them.
Moreover, everyone in the Cang Xuan Holy Heaven knows this.
Li Fufeng is just not one of the Ten Saints right now.
Given time, it won't be long before she becomes one of the Ten Saints.
Distracted by Duan Chengshou, Li Fufeng snapped out of his reverie and nodded slightly.
"It's an old friend."
Upon hearing this, the others suddenly understood.
They all knew that Li Fufeng came from another remote realm. Before that realm was destroyed, he was brought back as a seed by the Holy Master of Cang Xuan Holy Heaven and became a prodigy of Cang Xuan.
However, not all cultivators from remote realms can be called seeds.
Only those with exceptional talent like Li Fufeng, who were chosen, could be called "seeds," while others who came to Eastern Province through various means were nothing more than displaced refugees.
Refugees from small towns have even lost their own territory; they are pitiful, but also hard to respect.
Like a lost dog, it could only cling to the great tree of the Eastern Continent.
Duan Chengshou's gaze towards Lin Xuan became even more disdainful.
Since this person isn't a student of the Holy Heaven Academy and didn't even become a seed, their strength and aptitude must not be very good.
Let alone compared to ordinary students of the Holy Heaven, even compared to ordinary cultivators of the Eastern Continent, they would probably be far from being considered worthy of respect.
With an old friend reunited, Duan Chengshou was no longer a problem. Lin Xuan's initial impatience and coldness dissipated, and a smile appeared on his lips as he nodded to Li Fufeng.
"I never expected to run into you here."
He still remembered that when Li Fufeng left Eastern Province, he gave him a big gift.
Although it doesn't mean much to me now, back then it was a real lifesaver.
She even left a message, stating her destination and frankly telling him that if he ever came to the Eastern Continent, he could look for her.
However, after arriving in the Eastern Continent, Lin Xuan faced far too many challenges.
The disciples and members of the Sword Pavilion were scattered, Holy Heaven was recuperating from his injuries, and the remnant soul of the ancestor...
One thing after another kept him so busy that he forgot he could have gone to find Li Fufeng.
After all, Li Fufeng is living a good life in Cang Xuan Holy Heaven. With her master's protection, she is unlikely to be threatened.
Between the two, Lin Xuan naturally had to prioritize other matters.
Li Fufeng was overwhelmed with emotion; she bit her lip, the joy in her chest almost overflowing.
When she left the Profound Domain, she did write a letter to Lin Xuan, telling him that he could come to Cang Xuan Holy Heaven to find her in the future.
But how easy is it to travel from the Profound Domain to the Eastern Continent?
If it were a journey from the Profound Domain to the Luminous Domain, that would be possible, since the two realms are relatively close and there is a spatial rift between them, making it entirely possible to pass through the rift.
However, the Eastern Continent is a vast territory with stable boundary walls and few cracks.
Therefore, there is virtually no possibility of illegal immigration.
Therefore, she simply kept everything from the past as a memory, deeply hidden in her heart.
However, what makes one's hometown special is that longing and yearning.
People are the same.
After arriving in the Eastern Continent, she met many people.
Her master was countless times more powerful than the sect leader of the Azure Yang Sword Sect.
Her fellow students were many times more friendly than Lu Tianxing.
The atmosphere in Cang Xuan Holy Heaven is much better than that in the Azure Yang Sword Sect.
There has never been a case where a student was expelled from the school because they injured someone or the other party was powerful.
Her talent was discovered by her master, and her cultivation progressed rapidly.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
But the only thing missing is that none of the old friends from back then are by my side anymore.
Seeing her old friend again filled Li Fufeng with indescribable joy, but of course, she didn't forget her business.
She subtly glanced at Lin Xuan.
He wore ordinary white clothes, just like always, the same clothes he liked to wear a few years ago, with no change at all.
He carried no sword, no protective treasures, and no insignia of any sect or Holy Heaven...
A pang of pity rose in Li Fufeng's heart.
Has Lin Xuan been having a bad year?
Thinking about it, she pursed her lips.
He became even more certain of his own thoughts.
Yes.
He must be going through a tough time, which is why he doesn't want to come looking for me or become a burden.
Otherwise, why would he knowingly remain hidden when he is there?
Thinking this, Li Fufeng felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. She exhaled and made up her mind that she absolutely could not sit idly by.
Both being pitiful people who had lost their hometowns, it was inevitable that they would feel a sense of kinship when they met in a foreign land. Besides, she had always admired Lin Xuan very much.
Back then, Lin Xuan brought Starfall Peak to her ranks and helped her.
Today, she will also help Lin Xuan!
Although his own master no longer intends to accept disciples, other holy masters might.
Lin Xuan's talent is not weak; he will surely be able to meet the requirements for joining the Holy Heaven.
As long as he can enter the Holy Heaven, she believes that with his abilities, he will definitely be no worse than anyone else!
Immediately, she turned to her fellow holy master without hesitation and asked him.
" Martial Uncle Ling, would you consider accepting him into my Cang Xuan?"
