It turned out that the person standing there was not the Master of Guangcheng Palace, but Qin Chen. This scene left everyone astonished, each person stunned and speechless.
Especially the surprised expression on Guangcheng Fairy's face made everyone faintly believe the words Qin Chen had said earlier.
However, they still didn't quite understand. Even if Qin Chen had previously guided Guangcheng Fairy, it shouldn't have made her so excited, right?
"Guangcheng Fairy, it's good to see you. I didn't expect that after just a few days apart, you have actually broken through to the Saint Master realm. Congratulations."
Qin Chen smiled and said, his gaze sharp yet gentle, like a senior looking at his junior.
"Thank you, Senior, for your help just now. Was that aura you just unleashed? No wonder I was in a critical moment of seclusion, struggling to break the shackles, when suddenly a familiar aura descended and helped me step into the Saint Master realm. If it was you, then it makes sense. Senior, you have guided and saved me multiple times, and I am eternally grateful."
Guangcheng Fairy said repeatedly, filled with excitement, her small face flushed. She resembled a woman who had just seen her lover rather than a newly advanced Saint Master, leaving onlookers dumbfounded.
Especially Xu Zhijie, Caiwei, and others, their eyes nearly popping out in disbelief.
As the most outstanding Holy Maiden and genius of Guangcheng Palace, Guangcheng Fairy had always been incredibly proud—a pride that emanated from her bones. She would not mince words when facing anyone, even elders. Yet here she was, acting so proactively and lively, which shattered the hearts of many disciples secretly infatuated with her.
Guangcheng Fairy… could it be that she has a preference for older men? But this person before her isn’t exactly old either; he’s more like a grandpa now.
This taste is simply too hard to accept.
Qin Chen exuded an aura of deep experience, clearly a living fossil, an old senior, rendering many disciples utterly speechless.
"Shuhui, what is going on? Who exactly is this person?"
The Master of Guangcheng frowned and asked. At this moment, she was filled with curiosity about Qin Chen. If she had been skeptical about Qin Chen's claim of having guided Guangcheng Fairy before, now she was completely convinced. Still, when had Shuhui gotten to know this person while being in Guangcheng Palace, and when did she receive his guidance?
"Ah, Master."
Guangcheng Fairy seemed to realize the situation at this moment and hurriedly saluted, saying, "Master, I was too excited earlier and neglected you. Please forgive me and the elders. Master, this Senior has helped me greatly. Do you remember when I went out for training and broke through to the Giant level?"
"Broke through to the Mid-Heavenly Saint Giant?" The Master of Guangcheng pondered briefly. "Wasn't that… over five hundred years ago?"
"That's right." Guangcheng Fairy nodded. "Back then, I was stuck at the peak of the Early Heavenly Saint realm, struggling to break through to the Mid-Heavenly Saint Giant realm, so I went out to train. However, during the training, I encountered danger and nearly fell into a demonic trance. At the critical moment, this Senior saved me, saying that we were fated, and casually guided me. It was precisely because of his guidance that I was able to comprehend the Giant Law and successfully break through to the Mid-Heavenly Saint realm, returning safely to the palace."
Guangcheng Fairy now "recalling" it all looked fearful.
"Such a thing happened?"
The Master of Guangcheng revealed a look of astonishment. She was aware of Guangcheng Fairy's training journey, having even approved it herself, because she knew that at the critical moment of breaking through, experiencing the world was often more beneficial than stubbornly cultivating.
And Guangcheng Fairy did not disappoint her; after her training, she returned having reached the Mid-Heavenly Saint realm. At that time, she was busy with other matters and did not inquire further. Instead, she provided Guangcheng Fairy with more support and authority, strengthening her resolve to cultivate her. Who would have thought that there was such an incident involved?
