Before Shen Ying and the rest could think carefully, an even stronger suppressive force charged toward the group, followed by another series of crashes. All the crystal peaks around them turned into smithereens immediately. Yi Qing quickly released his dragon force to protect the two people beside him.

Shen Ying, however, stared blankly. She pointed toward her right and said, “Eh, isn’t that Shortie?”

The two of them paused, turning to look in the direction Shen Ying was pointing. Indeed, there was a girl flying on the right in a pink robe, surrounded by a defensive array, and who was looking anxiously at the two people in battle.

Yi Qing’s and Lonemoon’s hearts jumped. They were just about to go forward when Shen Ying raised her hand and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Hey, Shortie!”

Those words echoed throughout the Thousand Feet Mountain. The two people in battle suddenly paused.

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

Lonemoon felt the sudden urge to choke Shen Ying. They agreed to be stealthy – how was this stealthy in any way!

Xuan Tong’s body stiffened. She turned around, as if not daring to believe it. Elation flashed past her face as she mounted her sword and flew toward the group immediately. “Sect Master!”

She was going to jump on Shen Ying, but then came a flash of white light. The person in the white robe who was originally in battle suddenly charged toward them and reached them before Xuan Tong could.

Yi Qing and Lonemoon finally managed to recognise the figure and they all stared in shock.

“Bai Ze!” They shouted.

The next moment, the man appeared before their eyes, clearly agitated. He did not seem to be able to believe his own eyes. Then… he hugged Father Niu!

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Father Niu, who was being hugged: “…”

(゚Д゚≡゚Д゚)

Are? 1

Then, Bai Ze’s cold and trembling voice sounded beside his ear. “Shen… Shen… Shen…” He kept repeating “Shen” but could not bring himself to continue. Bai Ze’s ears began to flush red.

“Sect Master!” Shortie finally landed in front of them and buried herself in Shen Ying’s arms. Her elation turned to utter sadness as she cried out, causing the ground to vibrate. “Sect Master, you’re finally here… I knew it, you would come back for us. Wah…”

Yi Qing: “…” Little bastard!

“Yes, I’m here.” Shen Ying patted her shoulder. “Stop crying.” My robes are new.

Bai Ze, who was still hugging Lonemoon, stiffened. He looked at the person in his arms, then looked at the person next to him, who had the exact same face. There are two Shen Yings?

(⊙_⊙?)

“Shen…”

“Shen your ass!” Lonemoon exploded when he finally managed to respond. “Look closely at who you’re hugging!”

Bai Ze then realised and quickly pushed Lonemoon aside without hesitation. He ran to Shen Ying instead and acted like nothing had happened.

“Shen… Ying.” He finally managed to say her full name. “I really… really…” Really really missed you.

Shen Ying finally got rid of the bug who was dripping mucus all over her robes and looked into Bai Ze’s eyes, which were twinkling. “Who are you?”

Bai Ze: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

There was the faint sound of a heart breaking.

The light in his eyes went out!

“Bai Ze, is this the person you’re looking for?” A question came from the sky. The person who was battling with Bai Ze earlier landed beside them and the group finally managed to get a good look at him.

He was dressed in a green robe. His hair was to his shoulders and he had a wide-set face, like that of a champion. His entire body emanated a familiar Spirit Cleansing Qi. Apart from his black eyes, and the lack of a smart and mischievous twinkle, he looked exactly like…
