The lady in a colorful dress stepped onto the gravel among the ruins. Her wavy hair and beautiful face were captivating, and the colorful snake on her shoulder made her look even more beautiful.
Mu Chen’s widened at the sight of her face. He then began to look awkward, a blush rising to his cheeks.
He knew this lady. She was Cai Xiao, also known as Xiao Xiao, who Mu Chen had met at the Dragon-Phoenix Rift.
She was the daughter of the legendary Flame Emperor. She came from a powerful background, just like Lin Jing.
Mu Chen had never expected that Xiao Xiao would be the problematic person that Lin Jing had mentioned! This had turned out to be a dispute between two of his friends!
As Mu Chen widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao, she was shocked as well. After a while, she smiled back at him.
“Hey Mu Chen, what are you doing?” Lin Jing asked, as she noticed that something was not quite right with him.
Xiao Xiao stroked her small snake and sneered, “Mu Chen, we have not seen each other for at least a year. When did you take a part-time job as a bouncer?”
Lin Jing and Nine Nether were shocked when they heard her words. LinJing then looked at Mu Chen and asked him, “Do you know her?”
Mu Chen smiled wryly and said, “She is my friend. We fought together in the Dragon-Phoenix Rift.”
When Lin Jing heard this, she was shocked. She did not say a word, however, as she was embarrassed. This was an awkward situation!
She withdrew her spiritual energy immediately, since the lady was Mu Chen’s friend. After all, she was a magnanimous person.
At that moment, the Ice Spiritual Doll that had been hiding, while waiting for an opportunity to strike, appeared behind Lin Jing. After Lin Jing withdrew her spiritual energy, Xiao Xiao did the same. She then patted her colorful small snake, which slithered back into her shoulder.
Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that both of his friends had decided not to fight one another. As Xiao Xiao walked over, Mu Chen smiled and introduced Nine Nether to her. “This is my buddy, Nine Nether. She came with me from the North Territory.”
He then pointed at Lin Jing and said, “This is Lin Jing. Her father is the Martial Ancestor.”
He then looked at Nine Nether and Lin Jing and said, “This is Xiao Xiao. She is the daughter of the Flame Emperor.”
After Mu Chen had made the introductions, the three ladies looked at one another with shocked looks. Just one word from either the Martial Ancestor or the Flame Emperor could shake the entire Great Thousand World, and while the two of them rarely saw each other, their daughters had met each other today, and amid such awkward circumstances!
“I see. You are the Martial Ancestor’s daughter. My father praises your father. It is my pleasure to be able to spar with the Princess of the Martial Border.” Cai Xiao was shocked, as the Martial Ancestor was as famous as her father, and he was also one of the few people that her father had high a regard for in The Great Thousand World.
Lin Jing’s eyes brightened, and she said excitedly, “Oh, your father is the Flame Emperor. I have heard my father mention him. I respect your father a lot. If I had known who you are, I would not have vied with you for the Dragon Spiritual Pearl.”
Lin Jing was proud of her father, so she liked what her father liked. Hence, she respected the Flame Emperor. Naturally, she was truly excited when she discovered that Xiao Xiao was the Flame Emperor’s daughter!
Cai Xiao smiled and was happy that Mu Chen had arrived on time. If they had gotten into a fight, both of them would’ve been hurt. Moreover, it would be a disaster if they had caused a feud between sanctions over a Dragon Spiritual Pearl!
When Mu Chen saw that the two ladies had buried the hatchet, he heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the two ladies had decided to be forgiving and not petty!
“Why are you here?” Mu Chen asked curiously, while looking at Xiao Xiao.
“The Ancient Celestial Palace has been set up by the Heavenly Emperor. I am out for my cultivation, so I thought that I should come and take a look. I had thought of visiting you in the North Territory, but I believed that you would not miss such an event, so I came here!”
Xiao Xiao smiled, then looked at Mu Chen in amazement and said, “You have progressed very quickly.”
When they were at the Dragon-Phoenix Rift, Mu Chen was still at Grade Three Sovereign. In less than two years, he had progressed all the way to Grade Nine Sovereign. Thus, Xiao Xiao was amazed by his progress!
