They reached a consensus, and Master Xuan Gan lowered his defenses, allowing them to enter Eagle Cliff.
The battle just now had left a few of them, other than Zhou Ruying, with minor injuries, so they decided not to rush and settled down first.
Zhou Ruying pulled Lu Mingshu aside for a chat.
"You've had quite the experience over the years, huh? I went back to Beiming once, and all I heard were your legends. Tsk tsk!"
Lu Mingshu said, "It's just idle gossip. What about you? You followed Senior Qiu when you left, and then?"
"And then I just muddled along!" Zhou Ruying said, "I just followed Senior Qiu, nothing fancy."
"So why are you here? Where is Senior Qiu?"
"When I broke through to the level of a transformed being, Senior Qiu thought that it didn't seem right to keep following him around. He said I should strike out on my own, so I did. Tianyuan State is quite pleasant, not many people, quite leisurely!" Zhou Ruying shrugged.
