Zixia had only now come to understand that her worries about Li Ping'an were utterly superfluous, and she also fully realized the gap in cultivation between her and Li Ping'an. In her heart, she silently swore that after the Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master ended, she must cultivate diligently; otherwise, the gap between her and Li Ping'an would grow wider, and worse, he might not even hold her in regard anymore.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I didn't brag to you, did I? Isn't my disciple Li Ping'an truly amazing?"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect watched in fear and relief, continuously thankful that he hadn't confronted Li Ping'an. Otherwise... he might have been defeated by Li Ping'an in public and would have no face left in front of Zixia.
However, he was extremely curious about Li Ping'an's current level of cultivation, as Li Ping'an seemed capable of not fighting back yet remained unharmed, which was truly a wonder and marvel, eliciting amazement.
