"So I'm a little different from you all. You can't make fun of me for it."
"Ah!" Han Xuan feigned surprise and even bent at the waist, a sly glint appearing in her eyes. "Then shouldn't Wuhen Ge call me big sister now? Hehe."
She had long known that Uncle Xun and Wuhen Ge were not of the Human Race. News in the Qian Kingdom was no longer cut off. Immortals above governed the world, while countless races stood side by side beyond—who didn't know that...
When Uncle Xun had come to the village, he had told everyone, so no one found it particularly surprising. So long as they were not demons and monsters, it was fine.
Besides, Uncle Xun was highly respected and had healed people far and wide. Who would dare disrespect him?
Even her father had said that this one was a Secluded Expert and should not be disturbed too often. They were not mountain dwellers who knew nothing; the times had long changed.
Qian Wuhen's expression froze. Seeing through Han Xuan's affected manner, he turned his head and said, "Little Sister Han Xuan, I never thought you'd start teasing your Wuhen Ge too."
Han Xuan let out a laugh, spiritual light flowing through her eyes. "Wuhen Ge, I came back this time to tell you some good news."
"Hm?" Qian Wuhen looked puzzled. "What news?"
“Father won't make me marry anymore.” Han Xuan spoke softly, a bashful blush on her face. “The Immortal Gate is taking disciples in the city. I have spiritual roots, so I was chosen.”
"Han Xuan, is it the Five Elements Sect?!" Qian Wuhen's eyes brightened slightly. It would be wonderful if Han Xuan could cultivate immortality.
Over the years, he had also learned that the Human Race had terribly short lifespans.
