"Though we haven't seen each other in three months, fellow Daoist has already entered the Nascent Soul Realm. Truly a joyous and congratulatory occasion."
This was Lu Ming's first time meeting Wei Yuan in person. Last time he came to the academy, for the sake of his own safety, he had avoided meeting Wei Yuan face-to-face, and the two of them had only communicated briefly from afar via divine sense. Afterwards, Lu Ming had relocated to the Great Qian Dynasty, holing up in his cave dwelling to quietly tend his fields. Meeting him now, Wei Yuan appeared as a middle-aged scholar with a refined and easygoing demeanor, which slightly exceeded Lu Ming's expectations. He had previously imagined that Wei Yuan, being a dying man trapped by dragon veins, would inevitably have a foul temper and be completely white-haired.
Lu Ming cupped his fists in salute toward Wei Yuan, then turned to respectfully bow to Qu Lingyi, who was standing beside him with a smile. "Many thanks, Senior Qu, for your protection. I wonder how fellow Daoist Wei managed to find Senior?"
