Chapter 698: The Heavenly Palace of the Sword Domain
The reunion of the Mount Shu Sect’s once most talented trio of disciples ended on a sour note.
Chu Liang had initially planned to organize a meal for everyone to reminisce about the good old days. He thought that since everyone had been fellow disciples, there shouldn’t be any grudges that couldn’t be resolved with a good talk.
However, before they could even order food, Daoist Yan was already furrowing her brows.
The Whale-Riding Immortal added, "I’ll leave first. It’d be troublesome if I’m seen. Ah Feng, Yan Zi... we’ll meet again someday."
With a flicker, he vanished on the spot. Daoist Yan stared at the direction where he had disappeared, her eyes reflecting a sense of emptiness.
There were those who found it hard to speak calmly when the person they longed for stood before them. Yet, once the person left, they realized the true weight of their longing.
Not long after, a cheerful voice came from outside the door. “Congratulations to the Mount Shu Sect for gaining another Master of the Heavenly Origin.”
“Come in,” Daoist Yan replied.
The visitor was a thin, short old man with a goatee. He exuded a peaceful aura and looked no different from the grandfathers who spent their days fishing by the village pond.
If anything stood out, it was his warm smile. It felt like a spring breeze and made him seem unusually friendly.
“It is truly an honor to have the esteemed headmaster personally visit and congratulate me,” Daoist Yan said as she stood up.
