Yuyan had only arrived at the Jianlan Sect that morning.
She had traveled with Yino, but the moment they reached the sect he claimed other matters needed handling and told her to go find Zhihan on her own.
Over the past several months of cultivating in the Dragon Palace, Yuyan had broken through to the middle Emptiness Refining stage and Yino to the early Divine Transformation stage. She felt confident about the coming exploration of the Northern Region Ruins.
But when she came looking for her senior to share the good news, what she found at the back gate of the Primordial Sacred Land was Zhihan in conversation with the sect's elders.
Listening to those elders press her, Yuyan remembered a few lines Changli had once given her. They were words of heavenly mandate concerning Zhihan.
So she did not announce herself. She hid her Qi and stayed inside the room, listening in silence.
