There is another person, outside the hall, Ding Zhichong, who is Ding Zhixiu's cousin. There is about a hundred years difference between when they each formed their Golden Core, and he has always followed Ding Zhixiu's lead.
There must be a reason for him to come here at this moment.
With this thought, Gu Yuan waved his sleeve, and the natural array formation outside the hall opened, responding:
"Fellow Daoist Ding, please come in quickly!"
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist!"
Laughter came from outside the hall, followed by a broad-sleeved young Golden Core cultivator, wearing a crane cloak, with extraordinary poise, striding in under the respectful gaze of the mermaid outside the hall.
Inside the great hall, all the necessary reception items were in place. Gu Yuan led Ding Zhichong to sit behind a jade altar, then waved his hand. The mermaid outside the hall immediately understood, brought spirit tea, presented it to the two, and then slowly left.
