Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless by Lyu Luo's words. In the early days, Huan'er was extremely innocent and naive. She was fully dependent on him at that time and was clueless about romance. However, as time passed, she was no longer as ignorant as she used to be. After she had some understanding of romance, her feelings toward him had gradually changed. He was aware of her feelings, and he felt helpless. He could only pretend to be unaware of her feelings. After all, he had no intention of getting into another relationship. His two wives, partner, family, and friends were still imprisoned in the Divine Offering Land. He only wanted to diligently cultivate and get stronger so he could enter the Divine Offering Land to save them after the passage from the Devata Realms to the Divine Offering Land was opened.

There was no doubt Huan'er was the most beautiful woman Duan Ling Tian had seen in his two lifetimes. Moreover, she was gentle and obedient. He would be lying if he said he was not moved at all. However, he was truly not in the mood to get entangled with another woman. The burden on his shoulders was too heavy, after all. It was fine if he did not think too deeply about it, but when he did, he felt suffocated.

'It doesn't matter. Since she's already in Alchemy City, it's only a matter of time before I see her…' Duan Ling Tian's desire to immediately see Murong Bing had faded when Lyu Luo mentioned Huan'er's feelings for him.

Lyu Luo was certain Duan Ling Tian was guilty since he was unable to refute her words.

Meanwhile, the frown on Duan Ling Tian's face disappeared as he glanced at Lyu Luo briefly. He said as he walked out of the compound, "I will send you out."

Lyu Luo followed him. She scoffed and muttered to herself, "This pretty boy is a womanizer!"

Duan Ling Tian was about to turn around after he sent Lyu Luo to the gate when he saw an old woman appearing out of thin air behind Lyu Luo.

As soon as the old woman appeared, she glanced at Duan Ling Tian. He felt chills running up his spine when he saw her looking at him. He could not help but shudder. He sighed in relief when the old woman disappeared with Lyu Luo. He muttered to himself, "Who's she?"

At some point, unbeknownst to Duan Ling Tian, an old figure had appeared next to him. "She's Lin Ru, the first Guardian of Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect."

"Old Ancestor?" Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, shocked by the Old Ancestor's sudden arrival.

The Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect continued to say, "She followed that little girl here… However, she didn't come in. She was hiding outside."

"Old Ancestor, if I'm not mistaken, Lin Ru, the first Guardian of Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, is a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke, right? Since she deliberately concealed her presence, how did you detect her?" Duan Ling Tian asked, perplexed.

"She didn't conceal her presence. In fact, I suspect she deliberately let me discover her presence." The Old Ancestor's eyes were bright as he looked in the direction where Lyu Luo and Lin Ru had left. After a while, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and asked, "Master Duan, did that little girl from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect really come here just to see Miss Huan'er?"

"Yes," Duan Ling Tian nodded as he said, "She wasn't convinced when many people said Huan'er is more beautiful than her senior sister. Therefore, she came to verify if those people's words are true."

"She looked calm when she left. Did she see Huan'er?" the Old Ancestor asked.

"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded.

"So is she convinced?" the Old Ancestor asked with a smile. He had lived for a very long time and had seen countless beauties. However, none was comparable to Huan'er. She was flawlessly beautiful. It was as though God had favored her so he made her into such a beauty.

"I think so." Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly when he recalled Lyu Luo's stunned expression when she saw Huan'er.

…

Meanwhile, Lyu Luo had returned to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect's residence in Alchemy City. She was unaware that someone had been protecting her all this time. Moreover, that person was the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect's first Guardian, her senior grandaunt.

As soon as Lyu Luo entered the courtyard she shared with Murong Bing, she saw Murong Bing sitting in front of a stone table in the courtyard.

Murong Bing, who had taken off her veil, seemed to be lost in her own thoughts as she rested her cheek on one hand.

"Senior sister, weren't you cultivating in your room?" Lyu Luo asked.

"Hmm? Lyu Luo? You went out?" Murong Bing frowned slightly when she saw Lyu Luo returning from outside. "You… Did you go and see that woman from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?" She knew her junior sister well. Her junior sister was bold and was used to acting as she pleased.

Lyu Luo giggled as she sat opposite Murong Bing. "Senior sister, you really know me well."

"Girl, your curiosity is your only shortcoming… Based on how excited you look, I guess you managed to meet that woman from themTai Yi Celestial Sect, right?" Murong Bing asked. She was not worried about Lyu Luo's safety because she knew their senior grandaunt would definitely follow Lyu Luo to protect her. After all, their senior grandaunt had come on this trip to protect and keep an eye on the younger generation.

"Yes." Lyu Luo nodded.

"So how was it?" Murong Bing asked. An expectant expression flitted swiftly across her face before it disappeared. Her best friend, Zhou Shu Qiu, a disciple of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect in the Wasteland, had said the woman from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was more beautiful than her, and she did not doubt Zhou Shu Qiu's words. However, she still looked forward to hearing her junior sister's evaluation now that she found out her junior sister had seen that woman.

Lyu Luo had grown up next to Murong Bing, and they shared a very close relationship. Lyu Luo had even less of a reason to exaggerate.

"Senior sister… You should see for yourself," Lyu Luo said as she took a pearl out from her Spatial Ring and handed it over to Murong Bing. "When I saw her, I secretly recorded it with a Floating Image Pearl… This Floating Image Pearl that's inscribed by a Celestial Duke is really amazing. Anyone weaker than a Celestial Duke won't be able to discover it. Neither the pretty boy nor the beautiful woman noticed it."

Floating Image Pearls were generally considered as primitive Celestial Tools. However, if it was inscribed by an elite using superior materials, its grade would definitely rise. The higher the grade, the less easy it was to discover it.

"Pretty boy?" Murong Bing held the Floating Image Pearl and sent her Celestial Origin Energy into it. Suddenly, a clear recording appeared in the space above the Floating Image Pearl.

Murong Bing saw a closed door. After a while, the door opened, and a purple figure walked out. When she saw the purple figure, her expression changed drastically as an indescribable emotion flashed in the depths of her eyes. She was no stranger to the purple figure, after all. She felt her heart tremble as she thought to herself, 'He… hasn't changed at all.'

The purple-clad young man in the recording looked exactly the same as when they last met. His eyes and body exuded a strong sense of confidence.

"Third Senior Sister… Do you know him?" Lyu Luo had seen the change in Murong Bing as soon as Duan Ling Tian appeared. She had paid close attention to Murong Bing's reaction because Duan Ling Tian had mentioned Murong Bing earlier. She was curious if Murong Bing and Duan Ling Tian truly knew each other. Now that she had seen Murong Bing's reaction, she was rather certain Duan Ling Tian and Murong Bing were acquainted. More questions appeared in her mind. She wondered when or how Murong Bing met Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, based on Murong Bing's expression, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian was special to Murong Bing.

How could Lyu Luo not be curious? Murong Bing had never lacked pursuers. One of her pursuers was Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. However, she had never seen Murong Bing pay any attention to her pursuers. She did not even care about someone like Bai Yu Xuan who had an extraordinary background.

At this moment, Murong Bing finally saw Huan'er who was walking behind Duan Ling Tian. When she saw Huan'er's perfect appearance, she could not help the sense of inferiority that rose in her heart. She sighed inwardly. 'Indeed. I can't compare to her beauty at all…'
