The young man behind him, wearing a calm expression, was the very person they had encountered several days ago.
After Li Yan and Zhu Luomu flew here, he did not have Zhu Luomu leave immediately.
He had only come over to exchange a few words with Shuang Chongshan, and this was a good chance to let Zhu Luomu know about the matter as well. Afterward, he could leave it to him to handle.
Otherwise, he would have to explain everything again later, which would merely waste time.
However, with such an artifact refiner entering the sect, he would still explain the reasons to Xing Ming afterward. At the same time, he would tell him not to covet Shuang Chongshan's puppet mechanism arts.
It was not that Li Yan was truly kind-hearted. First of all, he could not cultivate the "Divine Puppet Art."
Moreover, nurturing an artifact refiner was no easy matter. Having a cultivation method alone was not enough; one also needed years upon years of practice, which consumed an immeasurable sea of raw materials.
Killing the chicken to get the eggs was not suitable for the current development of Falling Star Valley.
Yet this still touched a chord deep within Li Yan's heart. Seeing Mingling, who was also human, reminded him of Zhao Min.
From the bottom of his heart, Li Yan did not wish to truly break apart a pair of Dao companions who loved each other wholeheartedly.
The moment he entered the room, Li Yan gave Shuang Lianzhou a faint glance, then shifted his gaze toward the old man.
With his sharp ears and eyes, he had naturally heard what the other party had said just now.
"Junior pays respects to Senior. Though we have been apart for several days, Senior's bearing remains as splendid as ever!"
