Witnessing the two being welcomed into the valley by disciples, the onlookers naturally felt a deep envy. There were hardly any displeased grumblings, after all, their prowess was undeniable.
Among the crowd, a woman addressed the man beside her with a hint of bitterness: "Look at them, a wife's status rises with her husband's. If you had worked harder, I wouldn't be standing outside watching helplessly."
The man felt awkward and had to soothe his partner, promising to buy her new magical treasures and jewelry when they returned.
The pale-faced young master nodded at this sight and said to his companions, "My family ancestor has some connections with Fire Dragon Zhenren."
His friends immediately showered him with praises, making him feel somewhat conceited.
Then Zhao Daniu, with a hint of meaning, smiled at Chu Xuan:
"Some people, trying to curry favor here and there, yet somehow end up standing outside watching with the likes of us paupers, isn't that strange?"
