By the time most people had left, Zhuang Hua was thinking of taking his leave when Xia Liu stopped him, "Come with me to rest at the Lingyun Sect."
Uh uh uh...
Having Xia Liu speak for him was different from speaking for himself.
What virtues or abilities did he, Zhuang Hua, have to speak to Ling Jue?
"This young friend, since Senior Xia has already spoken, it would be inappropriate for you to leave now. Hurry up and make your stance clear."
Seeing Zhuang Hua fall silent, Ling Jue whispered in his ear.
"Hehe, then I really thank Brother Xia."
If Xia Liu considered him such a friend, Zhuang Hua would be slapping his own face if he still called Xia Liu senior.
"Oh yeah! Shiyu, you said you'd take me to see where you practice. Now my chance has come."
Han Mei said excitedly, grabbing Ling Shiyu's jade hand.
"Sister Han Mei, even if you wanted to go back now, you couldn't."
"Hehe, then let's head down the mountain first; we're not very far from the Lingyun Sect."
