Cheng Xu slightly furrowed his brows. "Strange, why would this grandfather and grandson duo come to see Master?" he pondered to himself.

"I must say, Hu Jiaojiao has quite an arrogant demeanor. Senior Brother, it's best if you brace yourself," Miao Changsheng cautioned.

Cheng Xu mulled over his words and nodded, hastening his steps towards Perfected Yuntai's cave abode.

Within the cave abode, his master, Yuntai Zhenren, engaged in a jovial conversation with Hu Banxian from the Yunzhong Sect, each showering the other with flattery.

Hu Jiaojiao, seated beside Hu Banxian, sported a cold and weary expression. It was evident that she had yet to recover from the ordeal. When her gaze fell upon Cheng Xu on his arrival, it was laced with deep-seated resentment. She harbored animosity towards him for failing to come to her aid in time and rescue her from the clutches of the Demon Claw.
