Chapter 1898

Yvette bit her lips tight as she glared at Darryl indignantly. She stomped her feet angrily. “Why are you with Chang

Er? What is your relationship with her?”

“I—”

Darryl felt helpless, but he quickly comforted Yvette. “My lovely Yvette, please don’t get me wrong. I have nothing

to do with Chang Er, but I have encountered many troubles with her these past few days. I will explain it to you

later.”

Yvette stopped speaking after she heard Darryl’s explanation.

Diana and the Celestial Wood Altar disciples gathered and chatted with Darryl.

Darryl was right when he guessed that the Holy Saint Sect disciples descended the mountain for an expedition.

They were on their way back after it had ended.

After a round of simple greetings, Darryl followed Diana and everyone else back to the Holy Saint Sect. He had

invited Chang Er to go with him.

After much consideration, Chang Er agreed to go with him.

After all, Yang Jian had ordered his people to hunt for Chang Er in the entire North Moana. She had no other safe

place to go; the Holy Saint Sect was an ideal place for refuge.

After several hours of trekking, Darryl finally arrived at the gate to the mountain with the Holy Saint Sect disciples.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, Darryl felt that something was wrong. The entrance should have been tranquil at

such late hours, with only some patrolling disciples around. However, that night, all the disciples who did not

participate in the expedition were gathered at the plaza in front of the hall. They looked solemn and excited.

A proud figure stood at the entrance quietly.

Darryl saw the figure from a distance; the person was in an off-white color robe. He looked about 40 years old; his

intimidating aura made him feel like an immortal. He was so far away, yet he could make everyone feel short of

breath.

Darryl was even more shocked when he sensed that person’s strength.

Oh, f*ck!

His strength was unfathomable; Darryl could not even read his cultivation realm. ‘Who is this person?’

Diana, Alan, and the disciples behind them were extremely excited and delighted to see that person. They walked

toward him quickly before greeted him respectfully.

“Saint Master!”

“We are pleased to see you, Saint Master.”

“Congratulations to Saint Master for coming out of seclusion.”

F*ck!

Darryl was shocked when he heard that.

That was the Holy Saint Sect’s Saint Master; it was no wonder his strength was so terrifying. For someone who was

so close to the Heaven Ascension Realm, Darryl could not even sense that person’s level of strength.

The person laughed.

The Saint Master smiled faintly as he raised his hand. “There’s no need to observe courtesy. I’ve just come out of

seclusion and I know that you are returning from an expedition, so I waited here.”

The Saint Master swept his gaze over the disciples and nodded with satisfaction.

“Yes, your strength had improved a lot when I spent my time in seclusion. It seems that you have worked hard.”

What?

As he spoke, his gaze landed on Chang Er. His expression stiffened—he was shocked.

The next second, Saint Master walked forward and approached Chang Er happily. He was surprised, but he smiled

and said, “The Holy Saint Sect is happy to have Empress Chang Er.”

The Saint Master had a smile on his face, and his tone was polite.

“Lu Dongbin.” Chang Er smiled and said, “This is unexpected. We haven’t met in a thousand years. It looks like you

still like to meditate in seclusion.” She sounded relaxed. It was apparent that the two of them had known each other

for a long time.

Damn it!

Darryl, who stood at the side, felt that his head buzzed; he was stupefied.

‘The Saint Master is Lu Dongbin?’
