「Three years later.」
The sky had just begun to lighten when Lü Zhong emerged from his Quiet Chamber.
Thanks to a massive investment of resources, the whereabouts of a missing book page had finally been found. It was in the hands of the Illusion Cloud Sect in the Lingyue Domain. Because the secret behind the page had to be protected, he couldn't obtain it through normal negotiations, lest he alert his target. He would have to go and handle the matter personally.
He glanced at the Quiet Chamber across from his. Yu Feng'Er was still in closed-door cultivation.
Ever since he reached Core Formation, the two of them had seen each other far less. Either he was in seclusion, or Yu Feng'Er was spending months on end consuming Pills for her cultivation.
'Perhaps it's because she sensed this that she keeps using the Vein Tempering Formula as a pretext to maintain our connection.' A smile graced Lü Zhong's lips at the thought.
