How should I put it?
An External Incarnation, though different from a Clone, actually serves the same purpose. When Yang Chen first encountered Qingyin, they were in the Iron Hawk Secret Realm. Since Li Ruoxiang was too far away from her true body, she couldn't control Qingyin.
But now, things are different. The present distance between Qingyin and Li Ruoxiang signifies that Qingyin is Li Ruoxiang and Li Ruoxiang is Qingyin.
The result is the same; Qingyin is an Avatar that Li Ruoxiang has created and will eventually merge with her in the end.
Of course, even though he knew that, Yang Chen still wanted to confirm it. He coughed awkwardly a couple of times, and then asked: "Should I call you Miss Qingyin or... Sect Leader Li?"
"What do you think?" Qingyin turned her head and looked at Yang Chen.
"..."
Hearing her response, Yang Chen knew that the person in front of him was Li Ruoxiang.
