Xu Yunfan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly suppressed the heat rising from his lower abdomen and said calmly, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior Sisters. I appreciate the thought, but I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave."
Before Cyan Simurgh and Peony could say anything, he stepped out of the courtyard and hurried away, carrying his damaged Thunderfire Qilin Hammer.
Peony said with a hint of regret, "What a shame. If we could latch onto Senior Brother Xu, we wouldn't have to work so hard."
Cyan Simurgh didn't speak. She just stared blankly in the direction Xu Yunfan had disappeared, not even blinking.
Cyan Pine's teasing laugh came from the side. "Senior Sister Peony, you've got it all planned out. If I were a woman, I'd definitely throw myself at Senior Brother Xu. Unlike you two—if the Sect Leader hadn't personally approved it, who would dare have you come perform the Nine Revolutions Palace-Advancing Hand?"
