"Don't stand on ceremony..."
As Li Zhiyan spoke, a man also walked over to where she was.
He was the only man in the entire Hehuan Sect.
Li Zhiyan's partner.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle,"
Yue Wanwan bowed her head and greeted him.
"You're back."
This Martial Uncle had a ruddy complexion, indicating he was living quite comfortably here. His gaze fell upon Lin Xiao and Ning Fengzhi. "Strange, today isn't the day for the annual inspection like in previous years. Why are the Medical Master lineage and the Divine Physician here today?"
"Today is not for an inspection, but to register the properties of the Hehuan Sect, and also to pay a visit to the Hehuan Sect," Lin Xiao quickly replied. "I presume this is Senior Brother Tang Qing? I've heard of you. You're the only Senior Brother in all these years who has married into the Hehuan Sect."
"I never expected that even a humble person like myself would be known to the Divine Physician. I am truly flattered," Tang Qing said quickly.
He was the only one who had married a disciple of the Hehuan Sect all these years. The reason was simple.
It was said that from the moment Tang Qing began interacting with Li Zhiyan, his eyes were solely on her. He spent countless hours finally moving Li Zhiyan, and then, witnessed by everyone, the two got married.
Even after marriage, to comply with the Hehuan Sect's rules, he became a live-in son-in-law and lived within the Hehuan Sect with Li Zhiyan. He had never done anything inappropriate with any of the female disciples.
In fact, to avoid suspicion, he reduced contact with any female disciples.
This was why he had been able to live in the Hehuan Sect peacefully for so many years.
"Senior Brother Tang's story is widely known. You are a role model for our generation. How could I not know of you!" Lin Xiao shook his head. "Today, I finally meet the real person."
Ning Fengzhi also looked at Tang Qing with admiration.
To be honest, even a pure-hearted young man like himself, in a place like this, surrounded by so many female disciples of the Hehuan Sect, might not be able to maintain his true intentions.
Tang Qing was a true man!
"I wouldn't call myself a role model... As a husband, I am simply doing what I should do," Tang Qing said, a little embarrassed. He then immediately invited them, "You are guests, come, come, let's talk in the reception room. The weather outside is a bit chilly, and it's been getting colder recently. It might snow soon."
The temperature on the mountaintop was very low at this time, only about two or three degrees Celsius at most. It was fortunate that Lin Xiao and the others were cultivators and had their internal energy protecting them, so they didn't feel particularly cold in this environment.
Lin Xiao and Ning Fengzhi followed the group into the reception room. Afterward, the ordinary disciples of the Hehuan Sect went to their rooms to rest or attend to their duties.
In the reception room, only Li Zhiyan, her husband, and Yue Wanwan remained.
"Yesterday, Wang Qiran actually didn't come. I misjudged him," Ning Fengzhi said as he sat down.
"Today, he still needs to accompany Zhuge Lan and Dongfang Jingjing around Shashi, which is part of his job. He will come over when he has free time," Lin Xiao had also asked about Wang Qiran earlier, as Wang Qiran had expressed interest last night. He had also had a pleasant conversation with a female disciple of the Hehuan Sect.
"Accompanying others is his job? That's a very comfortable job," Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
