Ever Since She Left the Sect
Indeed, the person who showed up in the Yang Pagoda was Li Xiao Mo, who used to be an Inner Court disciple at the Profound Blossom Sect before the Million Snakes Sect attacked.
After she left the Profound Blossom Sect, she joined another sect called the Yellow River Sect, where she learned to use illusion techniques. In that sect, she realized that other than dual cultivation, she had other talents as well, which allowed her to become a Core Disciple very quickly.
"It's been a while indeed, Su Yang." Li Xiao Mo, who was as pretty as ever, bowed to him with a beautiful smile on her face.
The other nine female cultivators there looked at Li Xiao Mo with surprised looks on their faces.
During these last few weeks, they got to know each other very well because they were essentially stuck with each other while waiting in line, and Li Xiao Mo only mentioned that she used to be a Profound Blossom Sect disciple, nothing about knowing Su Yang.
