Chapter 1607: Meeting Old Friends
As the waning sun illuminated the mottled walls, the old friends couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing the youthful conversation between Yu Lang and Li Luo. At the same time, the sense of awe and slight aversion they felt towards the latter due to his feat of slaying a King gradually melted away. Although the youth had grown older and was now a powerhouse in his own right, he hadn't changed as a person.
The years of hardship had not changed him.
The tall and handsome youth had a heartfelt smile on his face. Watching the prancing Yu Lang made his eyes light up even more joyously. He was reminded of everything that had happened between them throughout their childhood.
The dusty memories flooded him like a tide.
The memories of Southwind Academy, his blank palace, the young boys and girls. He could even remember the final exam.
Yu Lang, Zhao Kuo, and Lu Qing'er. These hazy memories emerged from the depths of his mind, causing him to grin before he stretched his hands out and took a step forward.
"Ah, you're so pretentious." Yu Lang revealed an expression of disgust.
However, his words didn't match his actions—he stretched his hands out as well to give Li Luo a heavy hug. After which, he pounded his back twice heavily as his eyes moistened.
"Thank you, Li Luo," Yu Lang almost whispered.
He was thankful for many things. It wasn't only because Li Luo had rescued them from the cusp of defeat, but also the resources he had managed to win for the Astral Sage College. He had benefited from those resources and gradually gained the attention and nurturing of the college as well.
Furthermore, after he was looked down upon by the Bai family, Li Luo had sent him a heaven-defying secret art that literally changed his life.
