"True Lord, your words are too kind; you truly humble your junior!"
At this moment, Baili Ya, Tan Suqin, and Yan Xi also came forward to offer their respects.
"Ya lad and Suqin, it's been a while since you last visited. Old He and Old Kuang still talk about you guys often. Come, let's go back to the Academy."
True Lord Changwan had noticed Baili Ya and Tan Suqin earlier but hadn't had the chance to speak with them. The two had previously studied at the All-World Academy, and both teachers were acquainted with them.
After speaking, True Lord Changwan waved his sleeve and, in a sensation akin to riding the clouds and cutting through the fog, Yu Qingtan and the other three felt themselves lifted, and in the next moment, they were on the ground.
Before them was a majestically wide and ancient gate adorned with dragons and phoenixes, guarded by a pair of three-zhang-tall jade kylin statues.
