53: Chapter 53 Triumphant Return, Three Women Reunited!

Lin Yi glanced at the Flying Ship, his expression unchanged.

"Let's go."

The group landed in front of the mountain gate.

The Disciples guarding the mountain saw them from afar and excitedly ran over.

"The Saint is back!"

"Quick! Go report to the Holy Lord and Peak Master Luo!"

The news spread rapidly.

As soon as Lin Yi stepped through the mountain gate, the Disciples along the way spontaneously stood to both sides.

Their gazes were filled with awe and fanaticism.

"Saint!"

"Senior Brother Lin!"

Greetings rose and fell continuously.

Chu Wanqing was startled by the commotion and instinctively leaned closer to Shen Qingyue.

Shen Qingyue, however, had a normal expression.

The Ancient Imperial Clan had much grander displays than this.

But she noticed a detail.

The way these Disciples looked at Lin Yi wasn't just adoration.

There was also a heartfelt conviction.

This conviction wasn't forced by power.

It was earned through genuine ability.

She silently made a note of this in her heart.

The group passed through several halls and headed straight for the First Peak.

At the summit of the First Peak.

Two figures were already waiting there.

One was the Holy Lord of Tianxuan, Zhou Qing, with graying hair and beard, a robust Physique, and a smile so wide his face was almost wrinkled.

The other was the Peak Revered Master of the First Peak, Luo Qinghan.

She still maintained her cold and aloof demeanor, with an outstanding posture and white robes like snow.

But Lin Yi noticed that his Revered Master's lips were slightly upturned.

Although the upward curve was very subtle.

So subtle that without the Primordial Immortal Pupil, it might not have been noticeable.

But she was indeed smiling.

"You're back."

Luo Qinghan spoke, her voice calm.

Lin Yi stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "This Disciple has not failed his mission."

Zhou Qing laughed heartily as he walked forward and clapped Lin Yi on the shoulder.

"Good lad! Well done!"

"You've brought all the Opportunities from the Taichu Ancient Mine into your possession, and even conveniently eliminated the Prodigy of Yaoguang Holy Land!"

"Not to mention that Breakthrough phenomenon—Grandmist Creation, Ten Thousand Dao Converging!"

"Now, the entire Barren Domain has been stirred up by you! Hahaha!"

Zhou Qing laughed so hard he couldn't close his mouth.

The attention Heavenly Profound Holy Land had received recently was greater than in the past thousand years combined.

It was all due to Lin Yi's efforts alone.

The more he looked at Lin Yi, the more pleased he was.

Then, his gaze shifted behind Lin Yi, and his smile paused.

Three young girls.

Each more beautiful than the last.

He, of course, recognized Su Yuxi, the Prodigy of his own Second Peak, cold and exquisitely beautiful.

The other two...

He also recognized Chu Wanqing, the Imperial Daughter of the Imperial Clan Chu Family, bright and lively.

But the one in white...

Zhou Qing took another look at Shen Qingyue.

This girl's temperament was too peculiar.

It wasn't the temperament of a Cultivator of this era.

She looked more like a figure who had stepped out of a painting, carrying a sense of detachment that didn't belong to this era.

Luo Qinghan also noticed Shen Qingyue and Chu Wanqing.

She scrutinized the two girls, her gaze lingering on Shen Qingyue for an extra moment.

"Yi'er."

Luo Qinghan's tone was still calm, but the end of her sentence rose slightly.

"Where did you 'abduct' these two beautiful young ladies from?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Shen Qingyue's expression stiffened slightly.

Abduct?

She, the Saintess of the Ancient Imperial Clan Shen Family, possessing the Innate Taichu Dao Body and outstanding Aptitude.

Was actually summarized with the word 'abduct'.

Chu Wanqing's cheeks, on the other hand, instantly flushed red.

"Peak Master Luo, they weren't abducted!"

She quickly waved her hands to explain.

"Brother Lin Yi saved Sister Qingyue, and then helped me!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qinghan raised an eyebrow.

Brother Lin Yi?

She gave Lin Yi a meaningful look.

Lin Yi's expression was normal as he cupped his hands and said, "Revered Master, this is Miss Shen Qingyue!"

"She comes from the Ancient Imperial Clan Shen Family. She was dormant in an ancient divine source due to circumstances and was awakened by this Disciple in the Taichu Ancient Mine."

"Ancient Imperial Clan?"

Zhou Qing's smile diminished slightly, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

He carefully examined Shen Qingyue.

That previous sense of detachment, not belonging to this era, now had an explanation.

This girl was truly a person from the Ancient Era!

"Innate Taichu Dao Body."

Luo Qinghan calmly uttered these words.

It wasn't a question.

It was a statement of fact.

The discerning eye of a Peak Quasi-Emperor could see through Shen Qingyue's Physique origins at a glance.

Although she had Dao wound, the foundation of her Physique was still clearly discernible.

Shen Qingyue was slightly startled, then respectfully saluted.

"Junior Shen Qingyue greets both Seniors!"

Her etiquette was meticulous, and every gesture exuded the upbringing of an Ancient Imperial Clan member.

Luo Qinghan nodded.

Although she didn't comment much.

A hint of approval flashed in her eyes.

Just this demeanor alone showed she was no ordinary person.

Zhou Qing waved his hand grandly, laughing, "The Saintess of the Ancient Imperial Clan Shen Family? Good, good, good!"

"It's our honor to have her stay at our Heavenly Profound Holy Land!"

As he spoke, he looked at Chu Wanqing again.

"Ah, the Imperial Daughter of the Chu Family, I naturally recognize her."

"Last time your father, Chu Chengdao, visited Heavenly Profound Holy Land, you were only this tall."

Zhou Qing gestured to a waist-high level.

Chu Wanqing blinked.

"Holy Lord Zhou, wasn't that ten years ago?"

"Haha, ten years ago you were still a little girl, now you've grown into a young lady!"

Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed into slits as he laughed.

He spoke pleasantries, but his mind was rapidly calculating.

The Imperial Daughter of the Imperial Clan Chu Family.

The Saintess of the Ancient Imperial Clan Shen Family.

Plus their own Prodigy, Su Yuxi.

Three girls with top-tier Aptitude and backgrounds, all revolving around Lin Yi.

This kid's charm was truly immense!

But then again.

Chu Wanqing's identity was a treasure for Heavenly Profound Holy Land.

The Imperial Clan Chu Family was one of the three top forces in the Barren Domain.

If they could establish a connection with the Chu Family through Lin Yi.

They would have a powerful ally when dealing with Yaoguang Holy Land in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing looked at Lin Yi with even more satisfaction.

He looked more and more like his own son.

Luo Qinghan had obviously thought of this as well.

She didn't expose it.

She merely gave Zhou Qing a look.

Zhou Qing understood instantly.

The two seasoned veterans completed a silent, tacit exchange in an instant.

"Yi'er."

Luo Qinghan spoke.

"Miss Shen and Miss Chu have traveled a long way; we can't let them sleep on the streets."

"How do you plan to arrange them?"

Lin Yi said, "This Disciple wishes to arrange the two of them on the First Peak, near this Disciple's Immortal Cave."

"Miss Qingyue has just awakened and is unfamiliar with many matters of the current era. Living closer will make it convenient to look after her."

"Wanqing has temporarily left her Family and also needs a stable place for cultivation."

He spoke with sound reasoning.

Luo Qinghan nodded repeatedly, a slight curve appearing at the corner of her lips.

"Alright."

Zhou Qing immediately interjected, "Leave this matter to me!"

He patted his chest, looking proud.

"The First Peak has abundant Spiritual Veins, and there happen to be two vacant high-grade Immortal Caves."

"I'll have them arranged; I guarantee they'll be more comfortable than the residences of the Sect Heads of other orthodoxies!"

Saying this, he immediately sent a voice transmission to summon several executive Disciples and gave his orders.

"Clean up the two Immortal Caves next to the Ziyun Pavilion on the First Peak."

"Set all Spiritual Vein Formations to the highest grade."

"And prepare some daily Medicinal Pills and spiritual tea; don't use inferior products, only the best!"

The executive Disciples immediately accepted the order, their figures blurring as they sped away, each pushing their speed to the extreme.
