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

Seeing that no one reacted, Ye Chen sighed and gave a wry smile.

"My hometown is a place called the global village."

"It's too far away for you to have heard of it."

"I ascended to the Primordial Spirit Realm later."

Lin Chu nodded in realization.

Global village.

He had never heard of that name before.

However, with so many small worlds in the myriad realms, it's perfectly normal for some to be technologically advanced, like Earth.

It seems I was overthinking things.

Lin Chu didn't ask any more questions.

Ye Chen smiled and began to rearrange the tea set, which clearly did not belong to the immortal realm.

The hint of sadness on her face was quickly covered up by her usual smile.

The tea was bubbling away on the stove.

The bamboo leaves rustle.

Lin Chu sat down next to Ao Tianxin and began to introduce everyone to Jian Li.

"These are fireflies, moon-carrying creatures, green frost, and whirlwinds."

"My swordsman."

The four women nodded to Jian Li in turn.

Jian Li nodded to each of them, her gaze lingering on the four women for a moment longer.

The four sword cultivators didn't seem to be very old; they were all at the peak of True Immortal.

He seemed to faintly possess the rudiments of the sword intent law.

This configuration would be considered luxurious even within the Myriad Swords Divine Sect.

But these four people hadn't asked a single question the whole way, and their gazes toward Lin Chu were unusually respectful.

Jian Li clicked her tongue in amazement.

Lin Chu continued her introduction.

"This is Ye Chen, just like you, from the Primordial Spirit Realm."

Ye Chen quickly stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and smiled brightly.

"I have long admired the name of the Master of the Glazed Sword. I am Ye Chen."

"Fellow Daoist Ye."

Jian Li replied calmly.

Lin Chu then pointed to Sikong Jian.

"This is Sikong Jian, the Holy Son of the Taixu Dao Sect."

Jian Li glanced at Sikong Jian and nodded.

Sikong Jian nodded as well.

The temperature in the bamboo forest seemed to drop a few degrees as the two cold-faced people huddled together.

"This is my brother, Lin Che."

Lin Che straightened his back subconsciously.

This guy was a formidable figure from the 39th floor. He suppressed his excitement, kept a composed expression, and showed no fear.

Upon hearing that this was Lin Chu's brother, Jian Li's eyebrows curved into a smile, and she greeted him in a clear, sweet voice, "Greetings, Senior Uncle."

Lin Che was taken aback by the address and quickly waved his hand, "Just call me brother, just call me brother."

Jian Li didn't hesitate and nodded, "Brother Che."

Lin Che felt completely comfortable when that "brother" was called. It was very pleasing to hear a powerful person call him "brother".

He glanced at Lin Chu, his eyes full of approval.

My younger brother is incredibly awesome.

Lin Chu smiled and finally looked at Ao Tianxin, her tone natural.

"No need for introduction."

"However, I now have a new identity: my Daoist partner."

Jian Li's body suddenly stiffened.

Her eyes widened as she first looked at Lin Chu, then turned to look at Ao Tianxin.

His gaze shifted from shock to confusion, and then to disbelief.

"A Daoist...a Daoist partner?"

Ao Tianxin, however, didn't show any expression.

In her view, Jian Li was a junior, and she herself had taught Jian Li the Human Emperor Sword Technique.

What do children know about adult matters?

She raised her chin and smiled.

Jian Li bit her lower lip, her heart churning with turmoil.

Is it...that fast?

Senior Ao actually...

Although she had known for a long time that Ao Tianxin had feelings for Lin Chu.

But no one expected that Sister Cang's master would be so decisive.

Jian Li's eyes darted around.

It is said that those who are near the water get the moon first.

If Senior Ao can do it, then what about me...?

She's also Sister Cang's mentor.

It's all a mess.

Jian Li's mind was in complete chaos.

The more chaotic things get, the brighter the light shines in their eyes.

I secretly glanced at Lin Chu's profile.

Reuniting with her master already made her very happy.

What makes her even happier now is that it seems her master can't beat her anymore.

And he's younger than me.

Wouldn't that mean I could manipulate things however I wanted?

Thinking of something happy, Jian Li couldn't help but chuckle.

His smile was somewhat eerie.

Lin Chu was drinking tea when he heard this laughter and got goosebumps.

He raised his hand and tapped Jian Li on the head.

"What are you thinking about?"

Jian Li winced in pain and snapped back to reality.

"Hmm!"

She covered her forehead and met Lin Chu's suspicious gaze.

"No...it's nothing."

Lin Chu didn't bother to ask any more questions, put down her teacup, and looked at everyone.

"This is Jian Li."

"My apprentice."

As Lin Chu spoke, a hint of pride lingered in her voice.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

As for Lin Chu, at his age, how could he have taken the Master of the Glazed Sword as his disciple?

Nobody will ask.

Ao Tianxin already knew.

The four women didn't ask.

Sikong Jian was even less likely to speak.

Although Lin Che was curious, he unconditionally trusted the younger brother he had raised.

Even Ye Chen, who usually lacks a sense of boundaries, knows his limits at this moment.

After introducing everyone, Lin Chu looked at Jian Li, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"Weren't you on the thirty-ninth floor?"

Jian Li chuckled upon hearing this.

"Upon hearing the news from Master, this disciple came down immediately."

She said it casually.

Everyone's eyelids twitched as they listened.

"Going down from the thirty-ninth floor, all the way in reverse?"

"Um."

The four women, including Liu Ying and Xian Yue, exchanged glances and all gasped in shock.

Is this something a human being would do?

"As expected of the Master of the Glazed Sword."

Lin Che opened his mouth, but after a long while, he managed to utter a sentence.

"Fighting his way down from the 39th floor to the 30th floor, that's fucking amazing."

Sikong Jian remained silent for a long time.

His gaze fell on Jian Li, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

Throughout my life, I have almost never truly respected my peers, or even the older generation.

As the Holy Son of the Taixu Dao Sect, few dare to look him in the eye.

Even when he encountered Lin Chu, he only thought that he had underestimated his opponent and fallen behind. He believed that as long as he got serious, he could still compete with her sooner or later.

Seeing Jian Li, he didn't even have the thought of comparing them.

The halo that had surrounded him since childhood shattered silently at this moment.

Lin Chu felt a warmth in her heart after hearing Jian Li's words, and raised her hand to rub her head again.

"Nonsense."

His tone was reproachful, but the corners of his mouth were turned up.

Jian Li narrowed her eyes; her face, which had been icy cold towards Ye Chen and the others just moments before, now only showed a docile expression.

Ye Chen watched from the side, clicking his tongue in amazement.

This change of expression is even faster than XDD's.

The Master of the Glazed Sword was notoriously aloof in the Origin Spirit Realm; even the elders of the Myriad Swords Divine Sect had to be extremely polite when speaking to her.

But when he was in front of Lin Chu, he was just a little follower.

Lin Chu didn't delay any longer and recounted the whole story of encountering the Soul Devouring Clan along the way.

He then briefly explained his younger sister Ji Ning's situation and the reasons why he had to continue moving forward.

When Jian Li heard about the Soul Devouring Clan, her eyes suddenly darkened.

She also knew quite a bit about the Soul Eater Clan.

"My master's affairs are my affairs."

Jian Li looked up, her tone serious.

"Let's do it together."

Lin Chu nodded.

"it is good."

He won't be polite to this girl.
