Back at the venue of the Inner Court Examination, after receiving their new jade token and robes as the sign of their getting promoted to being an inner court disciple, Ling Lian and Ji Feiyang met up with Xiao Yue.
Xuan Chiyan and Li Na were also there but the three women who had their bond forged with Xu Qi looked at each other.
"What do you all think? Will he be able to return today?" Ling Lian started as her eyes lingered on the spot where the Sect Master pushed Xu Qi into a portal.
"Of course, he will," Xiao Yue replied, her words filled with confidence, "If it's Xu Qi, he can handle the Sect Master. Not even Master can stump him unless he gets scared of offending her and reels in his usual charm."
"T-that's right! Senior Brother will be fine!" Ji Feiyang chimed in. Her cheeks flushed a bit at the thought of Xu Qi's charm in action.
