"Senior Brother Chen Xun!"
"Senior Brother Chen Xun!"
Two voices came from behind him, one male and one female. Chen Xun smiled and turned around. "Liu Yuan, Shi Jing."
Shi Jing had glossy black hair hanging straight down, dashing sword-like brows slanting upward, and a naturally elegant air. He wore the white robes of an Inner Sect Disciple, looking every bit the young master of a noble clan.
Delight appeared on his face. It really was Senior Brother Chen Xun. In the entire sect, only he led around a Big Black Ox.
Liu Yuan smiled beautifully. She had now grown poised and graceful, yet having spent so many years within the sect, she still retained the mannerisms of a young girl.
"Senior Brother Chen Xun, what brings you to the Pill Refining Hall?" Shi Jing asked with a smile. He liked Senior Brother Chen Xun very much. Whenever they went to inspect spirit herbs, his words always made one feel as though basking in a spring breeze.
Liu Yuan also stared blankly at Chen Xun. Her clear, bright eyes opened wide. Senior Brother Chen Xun's bearing seemed somewhat different now, and his face showed no signs of aging.
"You are now Inner Sect Disciples. I ought to be calling you Senior Brother and Senior Sister instead." Chen Xun chuckled as he looked at them.
"No, no." Shi Jing shook his head like a rattle drum. "Senior Brother Chen Xun, do you have important business at the Pill Refining Hall? We can show you the way."
Liu Yuan's body jolted. She secretly probed Chen Xun's cultivation, yet she could not discern it at all!
She clapped a hand tightly over her mouth, then suddenly hopped in place in delighted surprise. "Senior Brother Chen Xun, you... broke through!"
"Huh?!" Shi Jing froze.
