"I understand."
Elder Zhen nodded. "In that case, I really must consider bringing Xu Qing to my side."
"This..."
Wan Qianren opened his mouth, silent for a moment, before he couldn't help but say, "Elder Zhen, how about we let Xu Qing stay at the Langya Branch Tower for a while longer?"
"As you know, the True Realm Tower convention is less than a thousand years away. I was thinking of having Xu Qing participate in it."
"That's fine!"
Elder Zhen nodded and mulled it over for a moment. "If that's the case, let Xu Qing stay with you for now. After I've handled all the matters on my end, I'll bring him to my side."
"Thank you, Elder Zhen!"
Wan Qianren looked delighted. "But, Elder Zhen, about helping Xu Qing conceal this matter..."
BUZZ!
The next moment.
Elder Zhen waved his right hand, and a shadow tore through the void. It traveled through space and time from within the image, flying before Wan Qianren. It took the form of an invisible gauze robe.
