"He's back, First Brother is back—" When Li Qiye stepped onto the Holy Land, a disciple of the Xiyan Ancient Sect saw him from afar and shouted.
Hearing the shout, Gu Tieshou and the others rushed over. Upon seeing Li Qiye return safely, everyone from Gu Tieshou to Tu Buyu was overjoyed. Even the perpetually ice-cold Li Shuangyan revealed a smile.
Surrounded by the crowd, Li Qiye arrived beneath the trunk of the Osmanthus Lotus Tree. Everyone was ecstatic. After the disciples had all taken their seats, Gu Tieshou and the others remained by Li Qiye's side.
"What were the gains?" Li Qiye asked. "How did the disciples fare in their training?"
