Meng Hao clasped hands in thanks. After a moment, he decided not to step into the spell formation. Instead, he stood off to the side, waiting.
After about an hour passed, the disciples in charge of operating the spell formation were about to completely lose patience, when a beam of light appeared in the sky off in the distance.
"It's Elder Sister Xu!" Looks of awe and veneration appeared in the eyes of the nearby disciples, and they all clasped hands in greeting.
Meng Hao looked up at the woman in the beam of light. She wore white garments, and although she wasn't spectacularly beautiful, was pretty and emanated an indescribable air. She seemed a bit cold, but wasn't the completely unapproachable type.
Meng Hao looked at her, trembling. Suddenly, she slowed to a stop and looked down at him. Their gazes met.
