In the midst of wind and snow.
Xiao Yi's figure broke through the sky, dragging a trail of wind and snow behind him.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yi's gaze sharpened as he saw a figure flying towards him from Northern Ice City. It was Little Lin, wrapped in healing herbs.
Whoosh!
Little Lin dived into Xiao Yi's arms and then circled around his body, seemingly checking for any injuries. After confirming Xiao Yi was unharmed, Little Lin finally relaxed, perching on his shoulder: "Boss, I've missed you so much. You're finally back..."
Xiao Yi laughed heartily, ruffling Little Lin's head: "What's there to worry about? Don't you trust my strength?"
"Hehe!"
With a wide grin, Little Lin shifted his gaze to the Sword Martial Emperor standing behind Xiao Yi.
Sssss!
Little Lin's eyes widened, watching him with a face full of wariness: "Who are you?"
His face was etched with vigilance.
