He was incredibly relieved when Xia Qingxue appeared before him. After searching for so long to no avail, he had already prepared himself for the worst—that she had been killed or captured. He never imagined she would return completely unscathed.
He breathed a huge sigh of relief. The others only knew that Xia Qingxue was the Direct Disciple of a Supreme Elder and was greatly cherished.
But he knew more of the inside story. He knew it was far more than simple favoritism. To put it crudely, if he and Xia Qingxue both fell into the water and only one could be saved, he would be abandoned without a second thought.
It was precisely for this reason that the Golden Crow Sect had so decisively declared war on the Celestial Vein Sect. Not even the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder combined could stop it, for this was the collective will of the three Supreme Elders!
"It's wonderful that you've returned safely. The Supreme Elder will be overjoyed," Chen Wushang said happily.
