During their flight, Shangguan Lin, nestled in Xu Sheng's arms, asked with full curiosity, "Xu Sheng, this woman you spoke of, what does she look like? What about her cultivation level? Is her personality very gentle?"
Xu Sheng glanced at her in surprise, teasing, "Hmm? Why have you started caring about this all of a sudden?"
Could it be that Shangguan Lin was harboring feelings of rivalry?
As if her thoughts were poked at, Shangguan Lin muttered defensively, "I... I'm just curious about what other woman you like looks like..."
Xu Sheng chuckled, "Her name is Gu Linruo. As for her personality, she should be very strong. And she's also the most beautiful among the female disciples of the Xuantian Sect!"
Shangguan Lin bit her teeth somewhat unconvinced, "Strong? And the most beautiful? What about her cultivation level?"
To receive such high praise from Xu Sheng, how could she feel any advantage?
She could only hope to have an edge in terms of cultivation level...
Xu Sheng's dark eyes shimmered a few times, "Cultivation level? She's only at the Golden Core Stage..."
Shangguan Lin's brows lifted in delight, suppressing the joy in her voice, she nodded and said, "Golden Core Stage... Hm, not bad..."
Finally, she found something where this woman was at a disadvantage to herself.
Just then, a majestic peak nestled in the sky faintly appeared in front of them...
Xu Sheng reminded, "We've arrived at the Xuantian Sect!"
With those words, he, along with Shangguan Lin, began to descend slowly toward the ground...
When the two of them landed steadily outside the gates of the Xuantian Sect from the sky, they startled a few of the Xuantian Sect disciples who were present!
Subsequently, all of them stared cautiously at Xu Sheng and the Shangguan Lin by his side...
One of the disciples gripped his personal sword, asking, "You... who are you? Why are you heading to our Xuantian Sect?"
Another Xuantian Sect disciple narrowed his eyes, "Speak quickly, otherwise we'll have to report an intrusion!"
"Our Xuantian Sect is not a place where anyone can just run wild!"
Xu Sheng glanced at them, "I am Xu Sheng..."
It seemed that after the last incident, the defense of the Xuantian Sect had strengthened quite a bit!
By his side, Shangguan Lin cast a bewitching look over the Xuantian Sect disciples and then looked at Xu Sheng...
Curiously approaching his ear, she whispered, "Xu Sheng, it seems these people don't recognize you. Or were you just a disciple of the sect before?"
Before Xu Sheng could answer Shangguan Lin, the disciples who heard those two key words from him wore a look of shock, all exclaiming, "Xu Sheng???"
This name was particularly special to the people of the Xuantian Sect!
He single-handedly saved the entire sect! A truly exemplary figure! Especially since his strength had already surpassed the Sect Master and all the Peak Masters!
In an instant, the tone of these Xuantian Sect disciples became excited, "Is it really Junior Brother Xu?"
"Junior Brother Xu? Who is that? I don't have any impression?"
"Are you stupid? It was thanks to Junior Brother Xu that our Xuantian Sect wasn't annihilated back then!"
"Exactly, it's said that Junior Brother Xu's strength has already reached an otherworldly level!"
"I can't believe I'm seeing Junior Brother Xu with my own eyes. I must have stepped on dog poop yesterday!!"
Listening to this series of praises, Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Junior brothers, may you open the gate now?"
One of the Xuantian Sect disciples quickly came to his senses, hurriedly opened the sect's large gate, and ingratiatingly said, "Junior Brother Xu, do you need us to show you the way?"
Xu Sheng decisively refused, "No need!"
After speaking, Xu Sheng and Shangguan Lin disappeared from the spot like ghosts...
Leaving behind the Xuantian Sect disciples with faces full of awe, exclaiming...
"Incredible! One simply cannot see Junior Brother Xu's speed with the naked eye!"
"And that woman just now, her strength was terrifying too!"
"It seems true that Junior Brother Xu's strength has already surpassed the Sect Master!"
...
Having left, Xu Sheng and Shangguan Lin had surprisingly arrived inside Tianlan Peak...
As Shangguan Lin looked around at the extremely refreshing environment, she took a deep breath and asked with curiosity, "Xu Sheng, where is this?"
Xu Sheng released a spirit force fluctuation to sense his surroundings and found that Yun Churan and the others were all in the courtyard...
He then began to explain, "This is where I used to live! And the Peak Master is my mentor."
Shangguan Lin's beautiful eyes flickered a few times, given Xu Sheng's strength, there was no one in the entire Xuantian Sect strong enough to be his mentor!
At this moment, two figures walked out of the courtyard...
It was Mu Yun, and Mo Qingyue, who was holding his arm, both were walking over while chatting and laughing...
When they sensed they were being watched, they instinctively looked ahead...
There was Xu Sheng! And a woman they did not recognize!
Mu Yun rubbed his eyes in disbelief and said, "Xu... Junior Brother Xu?"
Mo Qingyue's beautiful eyes were fixed on Xu Sheng as she quietly said, "Junior Brother Xu..."
The moment she saw Xu Sheng, she wanted to let go of Mu Yun's arm, but after careful thought, she felt there was nothing wrong with it...
Xu Sheng walked over with a smile along with Shangguan Lin, teasing, "Mu Senior Brother, I didn't expect you and Elder Sister Mo to be so close now, huh?"
Mu Yun's pupils shrank, he quickly waved his hands and explained, "Junior Brother Xu, I..."
Xu Sheng calmly said, "Mu Senior Brother, you don't need to explain to me! Elder Sister likes you, naturally there's a reason for that, right?"
At his side, Mo Qingyue blushed deeply and uttered a soft "Mm"...
It was also in the Secret Realm where Mu Yun had protected her with his life that she began to feel this way about him...
Seeing that Xu Sheng did not take issue, Mu Yun felt a little less pressure in his heart and said in a soft voice, "Is that so, then let's hurry inside. The mentor and the others are in there, and there's also..."
It seemed he had thought of something, and he immediately closed his mouth...
Mo Qingyue, curious, took a glance at Shangguan Lin then continued, "Junior Brother Xu, let's go inside and talk..."
Xu Sheng nodded, looking to Shangguan Lin, "Yes, let's go, Shangguan."
...
In the courtyard, the atmosphere was clearly somewhat awkward...
Yun Cong was the first to scratch his head to break the awkwardness, "Junior Brother Xu, I thought you would never come back. I didn't expect you still couldn't bear to leave your Senior Brother, huh!"
To the side, Mu Yun chimed in teasingly, "Come on, Junior Brother Xu probably came to see Gu Junior Sister!"
Mo Qingyue also agreed and said, "Mm! What Mu Senior Brother said is right!"
Yun Cong covered his chest in mock despair saying, "Well, Mu Junior Brother, Mo Junior Sister, now that you're together you're just ganging up on me!"
But Yun Churan almost ignored Yun Cong and the others' words...
She glanced at Shangguan Lin with her ice-blue eyes, then stared at Xu Sheng and said coldly, "Xu Sheng, you've been away from the Xuantian Sect for so long, you probably don't know that Gu Linruo was expelled from the Xuantian Sect, do you?"
Xu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and his tone grew darker, "Sect Master, when did this happen?"
Seeing this, Yun Churan's face eased up a lot...
She said faintly, "It was a few days after you left. However, when she left, I just happened to see her and let her temporarily stay in Tianlan Peak..."
"Now, Gu Linruo is in the room you used to live in..."
