“ zhè shì qín shī mèi de xìn wù ， dào yǒu cóng nǎ lǐ suǒ de ？”
“这是秦师妹的信物，道友从哪里所得？”
"Here is Sister Qin's token. Where did you obtain it, friend?"
jī yuè rú tái qǐ zhēn ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng yà zhī sè ， zài lín xuān de yī zài jiān chí xià ， tā zhōng yú fàng qì qián bèi de chēng hū ， rán ér liǎn shàng ， yī jiù mǎn shì gōng jìng zhī sè 。
姬月如抬起臻，脸上满是惊讶之色，在林轩的一再坚持下，她终于放弃前辈的称呼，然而脸上，依旧满是恭敬之色。
Kui Yueyu raised her eyebrows, a look of astonishment on her face. Despite Lin Xuan's persistent insistence, she finally abandoned the title of senior and addressed him as such, but her expression remained respectful.
lín xuān xiào le xiào ， zhèng yù kāi kǒu ， tū rán yòu shén sè jī dòng ， xiàng yuǎn fāng tiào wàng guò qù le 。
林轩笑了笑，正欲开口，突然又神色激动，像远方眺望过去了。
Lin Xuan smiled and was about to speak when his expression suddenly became agitated as if he had just seen something far away. Kui Yueyu was taken aback and followed his gaze.
jī yuè rú yī dāi ， mù guāng yě suí zhī nuó miào guò lái 。
姬月如一呆，目光也随之挪妙过来。
A flash of green light appeared, revealing a bearded man standing before them. As the head of the household, this person naturally possessed an extraordinary demeanor. However, at that moment, his face was filled with tension as Lin Xuan had the power to exterminate even Separation Stage cultivators.
zhǐ jiàn qīng guāng yī shǎn ， nà bā liǎn dà hàn yǐ chū xiàn zài miàn qián ， zuò wèi yī jiā zhī zhǔ ， cǐ rén zì rán yě yōng yǒu fēi fán de qì dù ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， liǎn shàng què mǎn shì jǐn zhāng zhī sè ， bì jìng lín xuān kě shì lián lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， dōu néng miè shā diào de 。
只见青光一闪，那疤脸大汉已出现在面前，做为一家之主，此人自然也拥有非凡的气度，然而此时此刻，脸上却满是紧张之色，毕竟林轩可是连离合期修仙者，都能灭杀掉的。
He first bowed respectfully to Lin Xuan and then turned to Kui Yueyu: "Matriarch, the main hall of Luo Family has been taken down. The cleaning is complete. If you do not mind, would you like to take a seat?"
tā xiān xiàng lín xuān gōng gōng jìng jìng de xíng le yī lǐ ， suí hòu cái jiāng tóu zhuǎn xiàng jī yuè rú ：“ qǐ bǐng gū mǔ ， luó jiā zǒng tán yǐ gōng xià lái le ， dà diàn dǎ sǎo wán bì ， liǎng wèi ruò shì bù qì ， kě yuàn qù xiǎo zuò yī xià me ？”“ rú cǐ shèn hǎo 。”
他先像林轩恭恭敬敬的行了一礼，随后才将头转向姬月如：“启禀姑母，罗家总坛已攻下来了，大殿打扫完毕，两位若是不弃，可愿去小坐一下么？”“如此甚好。”
"Very well."
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， xiǎo xiǎo de jī jiā tā zì rán bù fàng zài yǎn zhōng ， dàn jī yuè rú zài tiān yá hǎi gé què wèi gāo quán zhòng ， bù lùn shì wèi le duì fù wàn fú zōng ， hái shì yǔ bài xuān gé lián méng ， cǐ nǚ dōu kě yǐ qǐ qiān xiàn dā qiáo de zuò yòng 。
林轩点了点头，小小的姬家他自然不放在眼中，但姬月如在天涯海阁却位高权重，不论是为了对付万佛宗，还是与拜轩阁联盟，此女都可以起牵线搭桥的作用。
Lin Xuan nodded. He did not hold much regard for the small Kui family, but Kui Yueyu held significant power in the Skyward Pavilion. Whether it was to deal with the Thousand Shadow Sect or form an alliance with the Flying Cloud Pavilion, this woman could play a crucial role as a mediator.
jī yuè rú de yǎn zhōng tóng yàng shǎn guò xǐ sè ， lín xuān de shén tōng gāo dé wú fǎ yòng yán yǔ xíng róng ， yǔ qí jiāo hǎo ， zì rán shì yǒu bǎi lì ér wú yī bì 。 yú shì nà bā liǎn xiū shì lǐng lù ， sān rén xiàng qián fāng de shān fēng fēi guò qù le 。 jǐn jǐn guò le bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， yǎn qián jiù chū xiàn le yī piàn tíng tái lóu gé 。
姬月如的眼中同样闪过喜色，林轩的神通高得无法用言语形容，与其交好，自然是有百利而无一弊。于是那疤脸修士领路，三人向前方的山峰飞过去了。仅仅过了半盏茶的功夫，眼前就出现了一片亭台楼阁。
Kui Yueyu's eyes also flashed with joy. Lin Xuan's powers were beyond description and befriending him would be beneficial without any drawbacks. The bearded cultivator led them to a magnificent hall where they took their seats.
suī rán gāng cái de dòu fǎ ràng shǎo shù jiàn zhù yǒu xiē cán pò ， dàn dà bù fèn hái shì bǎo cún wán hǎo de ， qiān yǐng zōng de yuán yīng lǎo zǔ jiē bèi lín xuān miè chú ， shèng xià lái de qún lóng wú ， yì diǎn dǐ kàng yì zhì yě méi yǒu ， fǒu zé zuì wài wéi de jìn zhì dà zhèn suī rán bèi gōng pò ， dàn lǐ miàn dà dà xiǎo xiǎo de zhèn fǎ qǐ mǎ hái yǒu shù shí gè zhī duō ， rú guǒ lǐ miàn de xiū shì jué sǐ yī zhàn ， chú fēi yuán yīng hòu qī xiū shì chū shǒu ， fǒu zé duǎn shí jiān nèi gēn běn bù kě néng jiāng zhè lǐ gōng pò 。 qiān yǐng zōng suī rán zhǐ shì sān sì liú zōng mén ， dàn zài zhè lǐ jīng yíng yě yǒu shàng wàn nián le 。
虽然刚才的斗法让少数建筑有些残破，但大部分还是保存完好的，千影宗的元婴老祖皆被林轩灭除，剩下来的群龙无，一点抵抗意志也没有，否则最外围的禁制大阵虽然被攻破，但里面大大小小的阵法起码还有数十个之多，如果里面的修士决死一战，除非元婴后期修士出手，否则短时间内根本不可能将这里攻破。千影宗虽然只是三四流宗门，但在这里经营也有上万年了。
After the formalities, Kui family female disciples served tea. Although some time had passed, all the necessary courtesies were observed, showing no signs of neglect. Even Kui Yueyu treated Lin Xuan as an old monster of Separation Stage.
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， zhǐ shì nà xiē tíng tái lóu gé jìng shì lèi sì yú shì sú huáng gōng yì bān de jiàn zhù ， fù lì táng huáng ， dào chù dōu shì fēi liú pù bù ， dǒng de xiǎng shòu de sàn xiū hěn duō ， dàn yí gè zōng mén zài zǒng tán lǐ gǎo nà me duō xué tou ， zé ràng rén yǒu xiē yuán yǔ le 。 sān rén zài fēng dǐng là xià yǐ hòu ， lín xuān bèi lǐng dào le shí měi lún měi huàn dà diàn zhī zhōng 。
林轩目光扫过，只是那些亭台楼阁竟是类似于世俗皇宫一般的建筑，富丽堂皇，到处都是飞流瀑布，懂得享受的散修很多，但一个宗门在总坛里搞那么多噱头，则让人有些元语了。三人在峰顶落下以后，林轩被领到了十美轮美奂大殿之中。
After sipping tea for a while, Kui Yueyu was about to speak when Lin Xuan's gaze swept over the bearded man.
fēn bīn zhǔ zuò xià yǐ hòu ， zì rán yǒu jī jiā de nǚ dì zi fèng shàng xiāng míng ， suī rán shí jiān yǒu xiē cāng chǔ ， dàn gāi yǒu de xì jié yǔ lǐ shù duì fāng què dōu zuò dào le ， sī háo méi yǒu dài màn zhī chù 。 biàn shì jī yuè rú ， yě shì jiāng lín xuān dàng zuò lí hé qī lǎo guài wù lái kàn dài de 。
分宾主坐下以后，自然有姬家的女弟子奉上香茗，虽然时间有些仓储，但该有的细节与礼数对方却都做到了，丝毫没有怠慢之处。便是姬月如，也是将林轩当作离合期老怪物来看待的。
Despite his rough appearance, he was someone with meticulous attention to detail and immediately said: "Senior Lin, Matriarch, there are still remnants of the Thousand Shadow Sect that need to be cleared. I must continue supervising my disciples. Pardon me for having to take leave temporarily."
luò zuò yǐ hòu ， pǐn le yī huì er chá ， jī yuè rú zhèng yù kāi kǒu ， lín xuān mù guāng què zài bā liǎn dà hàn shēn shàng sǎo guò 。
落座以后，品了一会儿茶，姬月如正欲开口，林轩目光却在疤脸大汉身上扫过。
He bowed respectfully before retreating. Lin Xuan released his divine sense, finding no other cultivators within a few miles. A smile appeared on his face.
cǐ rén kàn shì cū háo ， dàn néng dāng shàng jiā zhǔ ， zì rán yě shì xīn xì rú de rén wù ， dāng jí yī bào quán ：“ lín qián bèi ， gū mǔ ， qiān yǐng zōng de yú niè shàng wèi qīng chú ， xiǎo zhí hái xū dū cù dì zǐ ， bào qiàn ， bù dé bù zàn qiě gào cí 。” gōng gōng jìng jìng de xíng le yī lǐ ， rán hòu tuì le xià qù 。 lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， fāng yuán shù lǐ ， dōu méi yǒu xiū xiān zhě ， tā de liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū
此人看似粗豪，但能当上家主，自然也是心细如的人物，当即一抱拳：“林前辈，姑母，千影宗的余孽尚未清除，小侄还需督促弟子，抱歉，不得不暂且告辞。”恭恭敬敬的行了一礼，然后退了下去。林轩将神识放出，方圆数里，都没有修仙者，他的脸上不由得露出
"Friend Daoist, this jade pendant is Sister Qin's token. Where did you obtain it?" Kui Yueyu spread her palm, revealing a small jade pendant that emitted gentle light, clearly a personal item of a woman.
“ lín dào yǒu ， zhè yù pèi nǎi shì wǒ běn shī mèi de xìn wù ， bù zhī dào nǐ cóng nǎ lǐ suǒ de ？” jī yuè rú shǒu zhǎng tān kāi ， yī xiǎo qiǎo de yù pèi tǎng zài zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn ， sàn zhe wēn hé de guāng zé ， yī kàn jiù shì nǚ zǐ de tiē shēn zhī wù 。
“林道友，这玉佩乃是我畚师妹的信物，不知道你从哪里所得？”姬月如手掌摊开，一小巧的玉佩躺在掌心里面，散着温和的光泽，一看就是女子的贴身之物。
Although Kui Yueyu's tone was respectful, there was an underlying shock in her eyes. Qin Yan’s cultivation level was lower than hers, but she was the only disciple of Senior Aunt. Moreover, Dream Ruyan had once mentioned to the elders that Qin Yan was exceptionally talented and might even surpass her as a teacher over time.
jī yuè rú yǔ qì suī rán gōng jìng ， dàn yǎn móu shēn chù ， què yǐn yǐn shǎn guò zhèn jīng ， yào zhī dào qín yán de xiū wèi suī rán bǐ tā dī ， dàn què shì shī shū wéi yī de tú dì 。
姬月如语气虽然恭敬，但眼眸深处，却隐隐闪过震惊，要知道秦妍的修为虽然比她低，但却是师叔唯一的徒弟。
Dream Ruyan's lifespan was down to five hundred years; either she would pass away or ascend to the Spirit Realm. In other words, she could not continue guarding the Skyward Pavilion indefinitely.
ér qiě mèng rú yān céng jīng dāng zhe zhòng zhǎng lǎo shuō guò ， quàn yán jīn zhì zhī hǎo ， shèn zhì zài tā zhè dāng shī fù de zhī shàng ， jiǎ yǐ shí rì ， wèi bì bù néng jìn jiē lí hé 。
而且梦如嫣曾经当着众长老说过，券妍津质之好，甚至在她这当师傅的之上，假以时日，未必不能进阶离合。
Although Kui Yueyu held a position among the Seven Great Powers, the Skyward Pavilion differed from the others as it consisted entirely of beautiful female cultivators. Without sufficient strength to intimidate them, things would be difficult. Otherwise, the Eighty-One Families Alliance would not have attacked the main hall of the Skyward Pavilion.
ér mèng rú yān de shòu wú ， jǐn shèng xià wǔ bǎi nián ， yào me zuò huà yǔn luò ， yào me fēi shēng dào líng jiè zhī zhōng ， huàn jù huà shuō ， tā bù kě néng yì zhí shǒu hù tiān yá hǎi gé 。
而梦如嫣的寿无，仅剩下五百年，要么坐化陨落，要么飞升到灵界之中，换句话说，她不可能一直守护天涯海阁。
In other words, Qin Yan was being trained as a future guardian. Even the sect leader treated her with great respect. According to Kui Yueyu's knowledge, Sister Qin always regarded men as nothing, and this Lin fellow had her token.
suī rán wèi jū qī dà shì lì ， dàn tiān yá hǎi gé yǔ qí tā liù pài bù tóng ， mén zhōng quán shì měi mào nǚ xiū ， ruò méi yǒu zú gòu de shí lì zhèn shè ， qíng kuàng kě bù zěn me hǎo ， fǒu zé dāng nián yě bú huì shēng bā shí yī jiā lián méng ， wéi gōng tiān yá hǎi cí bo zǒng duò 。
虽然位居七大势力，但天涯海阁与其他六派不同，门中全是美貌女修，若没有足够的实力震慑，情况可不怎么好，否则当年也不会生八十一家联盟，围攻天涯海词卜总舵。
What kind of relationship did they have? Kui Yueyu’s expression fluctuated between surprise and suspicion.
huàn jù huà shuō ， qín yán shì bèi dàng zuò wèi lái de shǒu hù zhě péi yǎng ， lián gōng zhǔ jiàn dào tā shí ， dōu fēi cháng kè qì ， dì wèi kě shuō rán yǐ jí 。
换句话说，秦妍是被当做未来的守护者培养，连宫主见到她时，都非常客气，地位可说然以极。
How perceptive was Lin Xuan? He could tell from the other party's expression that she had some concerns. A smile appeared on his lips: "Mistress, there is no need to doubt. I knew Sister Qin... Qin Yan long ago. In fact, we already knew each other before she joined the Skyward Pavilion."
ér qiě jù tā suǒ zhī ， qín shī mèi xiàng lái shì nán zi ruò wú wù ， zhè xìng lín de jiā huo shǒu zhōng jū rán yǒu tā de xìn wù 。
而且据她所知，秦师妹像来视男子若无物，这姓林的家伙手中居然有她的信物。
Before Lin Xuan could say 'Senior,' he quickly restrained himself. The current relationship was best left as it was.
liǎng rén jiū jìng shì shén me guān xì ne ？ jī yuè rú de biǎo qíng yǒu xiē yīn qíng bù dìng 。
两人究竟是什么关系呢？姬月如的表情有些阴晴不定。
Kui Yueyu's expression of surprise became evident, but she did not elaborate further. Regarding Qin Yan’s background, only her senior aunt and a few others knew the truth.
lín xuān hé děng chéng fǔ ， jiāng duì fāng de shén sè kàn zài yǎn zhōng ， yǐ yǐn yǐn cāi dào tā yǒu suǒ gù jì ， zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ：“ xiān zi bù yòng duō yí ， wǒ yǔ qín shī …… qín yán zǎo jiù rèn shí ， ń ， zhè yàng shuō ba ， zài tā jiā rù tiān yá hǎi gé zhī qián ， wǒ men jiù yǐ jīng xiāng shí le de 。 lín xuān yī jù shī jiě chà diǎn chū kǒu ， xìng hǎo jí shí rěn zhù ， xiàn zài zhè céng guān xì zuì hǎo hái shì “ ó ？
林轩何等城府，将对方的神色看在眼中，已隐隐猜到她有所顾忌，嘴角边流露出一丝笑意：“仙子不用多疑，我与秦师……秦妍早就认识，嗯，这样说吧，在她加入天涯海阁之前，我们就已经相识了的。林轩一句师姐差点出口，幸好及时忍住，现在这层关系最好还是“哦？
"Is Sister Qin well?" Lin Xuan asked slowly. After parting ways on Snowy Mountain, they had never met again. He wanted to know how Qin Yan was doing now.
jī yuè rú liǎn shàng jīng qí zhī sè yī xiǎn ， dàn bìng méi yǒu duō shuō ， duì yú qín yán de lái lì 「 chú le shī shū ， tā men yě bìng bù qīng chǔ 。“ qín yán tā hái hǎo me ？” lín xuān huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu ， liǎng rén zài xuě míng shān fēn shǒu yǐ hòu ， jiù zài yě méi yǒu jiàn guò ， lín xuān yě xiǎng zhī dào qín yán rú jīn jìn kuàng rú hé 。“ hē hē ， lín xiōng bù yòng dān xīn ， qín shī mèi huí dào tiān yá hǎi gé yǐ hòu ， jiù yì zhí bì guān ，“ ó ， rú yān xiān zi yě huí lái le ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yì wài zhī sè ， dāng rán 「 zhè biǎo “ lín xiōng zhī dào shī shū lí kāi zǒng néng ？” guǒ rán ， jī yuè rú suī rán yě shì dà xiū xiān zhě ， dàn chéng fǔ bǐ lín xuān hái shì xùn shàng yī chóu ， yī bù liú shén ， jiù bèi tā jiāng huà tào chū 。
姬月如脸上惊奇之色一显，但并没有多说，对于秦妍的来历「除了师叔，她们也并不清楚。“秦妍她还好么？”林轩缓缓的开口，两人在雪暝山分手以后，就再也没有见过，林轩也想知道秦妍如今近况如何。“呵呵，林兄不用担心，秦师妹回到天涯海阁以后，就一直闭关，“哦，如嫣仙子也回来了？”林轩脸上露出意外之色，当然「这表“林兄知道师叔离开总能？”果然，姬月如虽然也是大修仙者，但城府比林轩还是逊上一筹，一不留神，就被他将话套出。
"Haha, Brother Lin need not worry. Sister Qin returned to the Skyward Pavilion and immediately closed herself in for seclusion," Kui Yueyu said with a smile. "Oh? Did Senior Aunt leave the main hall?"
cǐ nǚ fēi cháng jīng yà ， shī shū lí kāi zǒng néng ， jí shǐ tiān yá hǎi gé de zhū wèi zhǎng lǎo zhī zhōng ， yě jǐn yǒu liáo liáo shù rén qīng chǔ 。
此女非常惊讶，师叔离开总能，即使天涯海阁的诸位长老之中，也仅有寥寥数人清楚。
Lin Xuan's expression changed, showing surprise on his face. Of course, this was a feigned reaction. "Did Brother Lin know that Senior Aunt left the main hall?"
bù guò suí hòu tā yòu shì rán le ， tīng shuō yún zhōu de lí hé qī lǎo guài wù ， bù lùn rén zú hái shì yāo zú ， bǐ cǐ jiān dōu yǒu lián xì ， yǎn qián zhī rén suī wèi jìn jí ， dàn shén tōng fǎ lì ， què zú yǐ yǔ nà xiē lǎo guài wù xiāng bǐ ， rèn shí shī shū ， yě bù zú wéi qí 。
不过随后她又释然了，听说云州的离合期老怪物，不论人族还是妖族，彼此间都有联系，眼前之人虽未晋级，但神通法力，却足以与那些老怪物相比，认识师叔，也不足为奇。
Kui Yueyu, though also a great cultivator, was slightly less cunning than Lin Xuan and inadvertently revealed her words.
lín xuān liǎn shàng yī fù dàn dàn zhī sè ， xīn zhōng què shì dà xǐ ， suī rán yǒu cāi cè ， dàn xiàn zài jī hū kěn dìng le ， sòng gěi zì jǐ miàn jù de nà wèi líng dòng qī nǚ xiū ， jiù shì chuán shuō zhōng miè shā shù wàn xiū shì de rú yān xiān zi 。 xiǎng qǐ duì fāng céng jiào zì jǐ dà gē ， lín xuān xīn qíng yě shì pǒ wèi fù zá le 。 bù guò shì hǎo shì 。
林轩脸上一副淡淡之色，心中却是大喜，虽然有猜测，但现在几乎肯定了，送给自己面具的那位灵动期女修，就是传说中灭杀数万修士的如嫣仙子。想起对方曾叫自己大哥，林轩心情也是颇为复杂了。不过是好事。
She was very surprised because only a few people among the elders of the Skyward Pavilion knew about Senior Aunt's departure from the main hall. However, she soon calmed down as she heard that there were Separation Stage monsters in Cloud Region who had connections with both human and beast races. Even though this person had not advanced yet, his powers could match those old monsters. Knowing her senior aunt was not surprising.
yǒu le zhè duàn xiāng huǒ zhī qíng ， bù guǎn shì yǐ hòu yǔ bài xuān gé lián méng ， hái shì tóng chóu dí kài de duì fù wàn fú zōng ， xiāng xìn dū huì pǒ wèi shùn lì le 。“ zài xià yǒu yī shì qǐng wèn xiān zi 。” lín xuān lüè yī chóu chú ， huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu le 。” lín xiōng qǐng shuō 。” jī yuè rú kě sī háo yě bù gǎn dài màn de 。” qiān yǐng zōng yǐ miè ， xiān zi jiē xià lái kě shì dǎ suàn fǎn huí tiān yá hǎi zhōu ”“ bù cuò 。“ zhè tài hǎo le ， lín mǒu yǒu yī fēng shū xìn ， hái qǐng $$； dài gěi rú yān xiān zi ， jì zhù ， yí dìng yào qīn shǒu zhuǎn tuō 。” lín xuān shí fēn zhèng zhòng de shuō 。
有了这段香火之情，不管是以后与拜轩阁联盟，还是同仇敌忾的对付万佛宗，相信都会颇为顺利了。“在下有一事请问仙子。”林轩略一踌躇，缓缓的开口了。”林兄请说。”姬月如可丝毫也不敢怠慢的。”千影宗已灭，仙子接下来可是打算返回天涯海周”“不错。“这太好了，林某有一封书信，还请$$；带给如嫣仙子，记住，一定要亲手转托。”林轩十分郑重的说。
Lin Xuan's face remained calm on the surface, but he was overjoyed inside. Although he had guessed, he now confirmed that the灵动期 female cultivator who gave him the mask was none other than Ruyan, the legendary figure who had killed tens of thousands of cultivators. The thought of her calling him 'big brother' made Lin Xuan's mood complex.
ps： jì xù qiú yuè piào ， yǔ diǎn men hái yǒu me ， lìng wài ， duō dǐng dǐng guò 1co zì de shū píng ba ， ràng wǒ men gǎn shàng qù 。
ps：继续求月票，雨点们还有么，另外，多顶顶过1co字的书评吧，让我们赶上去。
But it was a good thing. With this connection, forming an alliance with the Flying Cloud Pavilion or uniting to fight the Thousand Buddha Sect would be much smoother in the future.
"I have a question for you, Mistress." Lin Xuan hesitated before speaking slowly.
"Brother Lin, please ask."
Kui Yueyu did not dare to slack off. "Now that the Thousand Shadow Sect has been exterminated, where do you plan to go next, Mistress?"
"Indeed," she replied. "That's wonderful. I have a letter for Ruyan, and I must personally deliver it." Lin Xuan said solemnly.
P.S.: Keep voting for monthly tickets, Raindrops! Do we still have any? Also, please give more positive reviews to help us reach the target.
"Here is Sister Qin's token. Where did you obtain it, friend?"
Kui Yueyu raised her eyebrows, a look of astonishment on her face. Despite Lin Xuan's persistent insistence, she finally abandoned the title of senior and addressed him as such, but her expression remained respectful.
Lin Xuan smiled and was about to speak when his expression suddenly became agitated as if he had just seen something far away. Kui Yueyu was taken aback and followed his gaze.
A flash of green light appeared, revealing a bearded man standing before them. As the head of the household, this person naturally possessed an extraordinary demeanor. However, at that moment, his face was filled with tension as Lin Xuan had the power to exterminate even Separation Stage cultivators.
He first bowed respectfully to Lin Xuan and then turned to Kui Yueyu: "Matriarch, the main hall of Luo Family has been taken down. The cleaning is complete. If you do not mind, would you like to take a seat?"
"Very well."
Lin Xuan nodded. He did not hold much regard for the small Kui family, but Kui Yueyu held significant power in the Skyward Pavilion. Whether it was to deal with the Thousand Shadow Sect or form an alliance with the Flying Cloud Pavilion, this woman could play a crucial role as a mediator.
Kui Yueyu's eyes also flashed with joy. Lin Xuan's powers were beyond description and befriending him would be beneficial without any drawbacks. The bearded cultivator led them to a magnificent hall where they took their seats.
After the formalities, Kui family female disciples served tea. Although some time had passed, all the necessary courtesies were observed, showing no signs of neglect. Even Kui Yueyu treated Lin Xuan as an old monster of Separation Stage.
