"Sword Qing, please wait here. I have invited a few fellow disciples whom I knew earlier."
Lu Xuan instructed.
Baili Jianqing nodded, the demeanor showing some restraint. He stood quietly behind Lu Xuan.
Shortly after, a resolute-faced young man descended from a Spirit Crane. It was Xu Shao Ze, a previous neighbor from Lu Xuan's dwelling.
"Uncle Lu, congratulations on advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage!"
From afar, Xu Shao Ze, with a bright smile, loudly greeted.
"Thank you, friend Xu."
Considering their friendship, Lu Xuan didn't refer to him as a 'nephew disciple' and greeted him.
After some pleasantries, they lapsed into silence.
Xu Shao Ze stood behind Lu Xuan, looking at his tall figure, a hint of deep-seated admiration flickering in his eyes.
