Reunion (2)
At the center of the chaos, Lin Ping and Gi Zuo locked eyes, wild smiles etched upon their faces, a sense of nostalgia swirling between them like a tangible force.
It was a longing for the days when they cultivated side by side, fellow disciples of a once-proud sect that stood at the apex of the world. Though those times had long since passed, the cooling familiarity of their bond brought genuine joy to their hearts, a warmth that suffused their very beings.
Lin Ping's laughter rang out like silver bells, a sound of pure, unadulterated happiness.
"About damn time you showed up!" She exclaimed, her voice carrying a hint of playful reproach.
In perfect unison, they dispersed their Dao power, the maelstrom of energy dissipating as quickly as it had appeared.
Without hesitation, Lin Ping pulled Gi Zuo into a loving embrace, the years of separation melting away in an instant, their long-lost connection rekindled like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
