Upon hearing the news, the Sect Master, First Elder, and Second Elder were astonished and shocked. The Sect Master's gaze snapped toward Third Elder, who was kneeling to one side. Third Elder's face lit up with joy as she turned and looked expectantly and anxiously toward the entrance of the hall. An old Daoist with a white beard walked in step by step, accompanied by a young master. Seeing Venerable Qingyang's figure, Third Elder's eyes instantly welled up with aggrieved tears.
Seeing Venerable Qingyang, the Sect Master, First Elder, and Second Elder hurried forward to welcome him.
"Master."
"Venerable Qingyang."
"Hmm." Venerable Qingyang nodded.
With aggrieved eyes, Third Elder looked at Venerable Qingyang. "Master, you've finally returned! Please save me, Master. I don't want to leave the sect. I know I was wrong."
