As the voice faded, a surge of golden light flowed across the firmament, followed by the sight of an auspicious cloud drifting down, and from within it, an impatient woman emerged as soon as it touched the ground.
She was a woman clad in rainbow-colored garments, her skin like creamy jade, with a figure graceful and lithe.
But at this moment, the delicate beauty of her brows and eyes was filled with excitement and urgency.
"Yu He, you’ve finally decided to return..."
Before her words were finished, the woman stood rooted to the spot in astonishment.
For she had caught sight of the two white Soul-Cleaving Lamps in the hands of Xing Yushu, and the excitement in her eyes was instantly replaced by a color of disbelief and confusion.
At the same time, Elder Ci Yun, upon seeing this woman, couldn’t help but have his complexion dramatically change, his body trembling slightly, as he whispered in shock: "Lu... Lu Senior Sister?"
That’s right!
The newcomer was none other than Lu Chuzhen, the esteemed Senior Sister and Sect Leader of Golden Cauldron Pavilion.
Her noble status and formidable strength were far beyond what Elder Ci Yun could afford to provoke.
Thus, Ci Yun’s face went through several changes, finally settling on a somewhat alarmed glance at Xing Yushu,
He didn’t understand how this seemingly unremarkable youth managed to prompt Lu Chuzhen to personally visit this place.
The crowd was also slightly stirred.
Although these scions of noble families had never met Lu Chuzhen, it did not prevent them from having heard her name.
This was a legend of Golden Cauldron Pavilion, who within a mere century of joining the sect, had become the most outstanding talent in a millennium, and was personally promoted by the Sect Leader to be the Senior Sister.
Such an existence, even after they joined the sect, they could only look up to.
At this moment, Lu Chuzhen gradually recovered from her daze, but upon seeing the two lamps white as new snow, a trace of pain swiftly crossed her eyes, then with a trembling voice she said.
"Young man, who... who is Yu He to you?"
Xing Yushu softly said: "He is... my grandfather!"
"Grandfather..." Lu Chuzhen repeated softly, a complex and inexplicable expression flickering across her face, then asked with a tone mixed with anticipation.
"Then... where is he now?"
Xing Yushu clenched his fists tightly, his voice quivering: "My grandfather has... he has passed away!"
Upon hearing these words, Lu Chuzhen trembled all over.
She had anticipated much, after all the two Soul-Cleaving Lamps certainly could not deceive.
But upon truly receiving the news, she still couldn’t contain the grief in her heart, as large tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"You left just like that? You fool, I told you not to leave, but you insisted on descending the mountain, why did you have to do that?"
Murmuring to herself, Lu Chuzhen suddenly seemed to remember something, raising her head to look earnestly at Xing Yushu, "Did your grandfather mention anyone before his death?"
Xing Yushu was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "No, he just told me to come to Golden Cauldron Pavilion, to inherit his legacy!"
"Nothing..." Frustration appeared on Lu Chuzhen’s face, "Even in his last moments, he still wouldn’t forgive me? But how could you ever understand my dilemma?"
She stood there speaking to herself, her expression a mix of joy and sadness, elusive to decipher.
Xing Yushu was slightly taken aback, not understanding what this woman was about, and couldn’t help but steal a glance at Xue An.
But he saw that at this moment Xue An was standing silently, his face devoid of any expression.
Meanwhile, Lu Chuzhen suddenly raised her head and gave a slight smile towards Xing Yushu, "I forgot to ask, what’s your name?"
"Xing Yushu!"
