Navigating through the peaks and valleys of Thunderclap Valley, Jiang Chengxuan was on his quest to reunite with Shen Ruyan, yet he stumbled upon an unexpected figure first.
Atop a nearby peak, a middle-aged man with gentle features and a strong aura smiled warmly at him.
Jiang Chengxuan, feeling it, turned to see it was none other than Yun Yizhen, Shen Ruyan's Shifu.
Their last meeting had been a century ago, after the war, at the merit distribution assembly.
"It's been a long time, Sect Master Yun," Jiang Chengxuan greeted, dispelling his Dharmic power to approach Yun Yizhen.
Given he had already heard news of Shen Ruyan, a brief wait wouldn't hurt, especially since Yun Yizhen was an old acquaintance and Shen Ruyan's Shifu. A meeting was inescapable.
"Vice Sect Master Jiang, it's good to see you well!" Yun Yizhen laughed heartily in response.
