Jiang Chen and Xie Zhen bowed respectfully, their hands clasped in front of their chests, toward the places where Ji Mingxiu and the four Supreme Elders had stood.
Then, Xie Zhen gave Jiang Chen a nod of approval, his eyes filled with gratitude and respect. Shortly after, he too disappeared from sight.
His departure silently affirmed Ji Mingxiu's decision to entrust the two young women to Jiang Chen's watchful care.
"Until we meet again, Elder Xie Zhen," Jiang Chen murmured, bowing his head respectfully toward the spot where Xie Zhen had just stood.
'Could this be the result of a particular cultivation technique?' Jiang Chen wondered as he noticed the sharp contrast between Elder Xie Zhen's reserved manner and the lively nature of his granddaughter, Xie Xiaojing.
He quickly brushed aside the thought, his attention shifting back to the pills he had received from Ji Mingxiu and the others. His face lit up with excitement.
