Coercion

Shen Lian and Zhao Xiaoyu stepped on the water but they did not sink. Clouds formed above in the sky, making them look celestial-like.

Zhao Xiaoyu smiled, "You walking out like that has left a blank space and I was not able to thank Zhenren Wang personally."

"As long as you keep the favor in mind, you can repay it in the future. It's unnecessary to fake a polite reply as an expression of gratitude. It's not very classy to do so." Shen Lian walked along the river as every step he took were clear and precise movements.

Zhao Xiaoyu too was not to be outdone by Shen Lian. After her gain from the Enlightenment Scripture, her injuries greatly healed and it seemed like she could face challenges ahead of her. She captured the lingering Dao rhythm at the Tianmen Straits and infuse it with herself to radiate a ray of holy light. She was able to catch up with Shen Lian's pace.
