Theron smiled at Lyra.
"Hello, senior sister. I took advantage of some loopholes in the rules to get here, I hope you don't mind."
Lyra blinked and then she suddenly smiled sweetly, fluttering over. Though she was quite petite and still a head shorter than even Theron, who wasn't very tall to begin with, she was still in her twenties. Seeing Theron's polite manner and humble words, not to mention the gentle tone of his voice, she couldn't help but immediately take a liking to him.
She landed in front of him and scanned Theron up and down.
"How cute," she said with a bright smile, quickly taking Theron's arm. "The Core Sect is full of nothing but old curmudgeons. Who thought I'd get such an adorable junior brother?"
To the side, Peak Elder Lotus was a bit speechless. He had expected Theron to continue being as arrogant as before. Was it just because he was in front of a pretty woman?
