After four months [3]

"Sect Guardian..."

Zhao Tian smiled gently looking at the small group of female disciples, their robes fluttering gently in the evening breeze as they all bowed deeply.

Keeping his smile, Zhao Tian gestured them to stop bowing.

As he glanced around, he couldn't see a woman's face among them "Where is Chao?"

The female disciples looked at each other before one of them spoke up "Sect Guardian, Senior Sister Chao was taken away..." 

Huh? Zhao Tian's gaze squinted in confusion.

Beside him, Ning Zhilian, who had been silently observing the exchange, was equally puzzled and leaned slightly toward Zhao Tian as if to silently ask him, 'Who is Chao?' 

One of the female disciples gently bowed her head and as she was about to speak, footsteps heard in the courtyard.

Hm? Zhao Tian turned his gaze to the woman, who was walking toward him, her black hair coiling down her waist as her black eyes fell on the group of female disciples.
