After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

Ao Tianxin looked at the scene before him and a smile appeared on his face.

Ye Chen stood to the side, mouth agape, his jaw practically dropping to the ground.

He raised his finger, pointed at Lin Chu, then at Jian Li, circling his finger around several times before finally managing to utter only two words.

"no……"

He turned to look at Sikong Jian, wanting to find someone to reason with.

Sikong Jian remained silent.

He stood with his hands behind his back, trying to appear calm, but his eyes clearly showed confusion.

This holy son of the Taixu Dao Sect was used to seeing great storms, but he had never seen anything like this before.

"What's going on...?"

Seeing his appearance, Ye Chen felt inexplicably more at ease.

"Turns out you don't know any more than I do."

He muttered something under his breath.

I thought I was the only one who was confused.

Ye Chen grinned, and his shattered worldview slowly began to piece itself back together.

He even had the leisure to examine Jian Li.

This is the legendary Master of the Glazed Sword!

As someone who came from the Primordial Spirit Realm, he knew better than anyone what those four words meant.

Despite his exceptional talent, compared to Jian Li, there's not just a gap of one or two levels, but an entire insurmountable chasm.

Since Ye Chen ascended to the Origin Spirit Realm, he had heard many legends about this person.

Born with a sword physique, possessing at least five sword-wielding principles.

A formidable figure on the thirty-ninth floor of the Imperial Road.

But at this moment,

This tough guy is now crying like a little girl, clinging to Lin Chu's neck.

Although she looks like a young girl, but... can this be the same? Is this reasonable?

This world is becoming increasingly incomprehensible.

On the other side, the four women, Liu Ying, Xian Yue, Qing Shuang, and Fu Yao, exchanged glances, but none of them spoke.

They were, of course, shocked.

How could our young master, who is only fourteen years old, be the master of the Glazed Sword Master?

Despite their shock, the four of them didn't move or ask any questions.

As sword attendants, they were no ordinary servants.

They were trained by the Lord's Mother herself, and the Lord's Mother made it clear when they were sent away.

"From today onwards, Lin Chu is your master."

"Even if it were me in the future, I wouldn't be as important as Lin Chu."

From that moment on, they were no longer just sword servants of the Lin family.

Instead, it was Lin Chu's personal sword attendant.

Therefore, it's none of their business to ask about things like the Master of the Glazed Sword or the master and disciple relationship.

All they need to know is that the young master is still the young master, and that's enough.

Lin Che stood there, looking completely bewildered.

You've only been in Dilu for a few years, right?

Could it be that a long time has passed in the outside world?

Of course he knew Jian Li; she was a well-known formidable figure in the Imperial Road.

But when she came in, her younger brother wasn't even born yet, right?

But what we are seeing right now is the real thing.

He opened his mouth, wanting to ask what was going on, but when he looked around, no one said a word; everyone's face showed an expression that said, "This is only natural."

Lin Che's throat moved, but he ultimately swallowed his words back.

Oh well, anyway... he's my own brother.

Jian Li nestled in Lin Chu's arms for a while before her emotions gradually calmed down.

She sniffed and slowly raised her head.

Her tears were still wet on her face, and her eyes were red and swollen.

Seemingly realizing what he had just done, he glanced around.

Her face flushed red instantly.

As the dignified Master of the Glazed Sword, how could I not restrain myself?

He immediately released Lin Chu's neck, took a small step back, and quickly wiped his face.

Then, his gaze shifted to Ao Tianxin behind Lin Chu.

"Senior Ao!"

"I've been looking for you for so long!"

The voice was clear and crisp, carrying a hint of warmth from a long-awaited reunion.

Ao Tianxin sized her up, a slight smile playing on his lips, and deliberately spoke slowly.

"Oh?"

"How come I didn't feel it? They clearly just skipped over me."

Jian Li blushed even more and waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, no, senior, please don't make fun of me."

In this state, there was not a trace of the sword master's aloofness.

Lin Chu stood to the side and couldn't help but chuckle.

This girl seems to have changed, yet she seems to have remained the same.

Her features had matured, and standing in front of him, she was a completely different person from the thin and frail girl he remembered.

Her features became increasingly refined and aloof, and her demeanor turned cold.

However, in front of Lin Chu, he really didn't have any imposing presence.

His cultivation level is even more astonishing; he has already reached the Xuanxian realm.

Lin Chu reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Alright."

Jian Li's heart softened at the familiar gesture, and she obediently hummed in agreement.

Lin Chu withdrew her hand and looked around.

The giant lizard was completely dead; its enormous corpse lay on the ground like a continuous mountain range.

It's strange, really.

Along the way, there have been quite a few of these strange, dark beasts, but their combat power is not strong.

The same applies to the black-robed monks.

Compared to those who cultivate themselves to reach the same level, they are significantly weaker.

It's as if it was forced into being born.

Lin Chu kept this question in mind and didn't say anything more.

"Let's go."

"This is not the place to talk."

Everyone nodded.

Jian Li followed obediently behind Lin Chu, like a little tail.

The group transformed back into streaks of light and flew away into the distance.

Throughout the journey, Jian Li's gaze remained fixed on Lin Chu.

My master looks much younger than before.

Their cultivation level is also weaker than mine.

She was only fourteen years old.

I'm so much smaller than I am now.

As she pondered this, Jian Li's gaze became somewhat strange.

Now...so small.

So, in the future, could I...

As if struck by a sudden thought, a bright light flashed in Jian Li's eyes.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.

Lin Chufei, who was ahead, seemed to sense something and turned around to look at her.

Jian Li immediately turned her head away, pretending to admire the scenery.

The group flew out of the ruins, crossed several broken mountain ranges, and finally landed in a bamboo forest.

This place is quite quiet.

Bamboo shadows sway gently, and a shallow stream meanders through the forest.

Several clumps of unidentified white flowers grew nearby.

Lin Chu landed with his men, just about to say something.

Ye Chen suddenly chuckled.

"Brother Lin, please have a seat."

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Chu's reaction, he flipped his hand and took out a whole set of weapons from his storage ring.

Folding table.

Folding chair.

Blue and white porcelain tea set.

……

This is... brewing tea around a stove?

Lin Chu's face froze on the spot.

I rely on.

Isn't this flavor a bit too strong?

Those vague feelings of déjà vu I had before, now make sense.

This Ye Chen, damn it, could he be a transmigrator from Earth?

Ye Chen was fiddling with the tea set when he caught a glimpse of Lin Chu's astonished expression out of the corner of his eye, and he paused.

"What's wrong?"

He looked down at his tea set, then looked up at Lin Chu.

"Is there a problem?"

Lin Chu choked for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then tentatively spoke.

"Blue Star?"

Ye Chen looked completely bewildered.

"What Blue Star?"

He tilted his head, as if he had never heard of the word before.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Chu stared at his face for a long time.

It doesn't seem fake.

Lin Chu was now completely baffled.

Suppressing the turmoil in my heart, I changed the subject.

"Where did you bring these tea sets from?"

Ye Chen paused for a moment, then casually replied, "My hometown."

"Isn't your hometown the Primordial Spirit Realm?"

"Sigh, the Primordial Spirit Realm ascended later."

Ye Chen waved his hand, as if it was a long story.

"My home..."

He paused halfway through his sentence, as if he had remembered something.

Then, a flush rose on her face, and she looked at Lin Chu with some excitement and spoke.

"Imperial Jade Liquor?"

Lin Chu and the others were completely dumbfounded.

"What?"

"Odd changes, even remains the same?"

Everyone: ...?

Ye Chen opened his mouth, and the light in his eyes slowly dimmed.

(P.S. Ye Chen won't have many scenes; he's just a foreshadowing element. Don't worry about him becoming a supporting character who steals the spotlight from the main character. (And it's definitely not another identity of Lin Chu.) I certainly won't write such an obvious plot hole.)
