Just as Ji Yuan was protesting loudly to his maidens that he was innocent of their accusations, a 4th realm cultivator had suddenly approached them with an urgent message for Xue Qianxue and Ji Yuan.
He had been looking everywhere for them.
"Sacred Maiden Xue, Sword Saint Ji Yuan. There is a freed prisoner that insists on seeing you and he says that he knows you."
Ji Yuan took the opportunity to say, "Oh really? Take me to him. Maybe I really know him. Hahaha…"
"Wait a minute first," Xue Qianxue interrupted Ji Yuan.
Then she turned to ask the messenger, "What is his name?"
The messenger answered, "He says that he is Guo Taiming and he says that he is erm… the best friend of the Sword Saint Ji Yuan."
Shangguan Yan and Fairy Ye Chengxi were both gasping as they do know this Guo Taiming as they were all from the Five Heavens Peaks.
Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "I do know him. Come, let me go and meet him straightaway!"
