As the Saintess of the largest sect surrounding the Miao frontier, Xu Minlin’s talent and brilliance were beyond reproach. At a mere sixteen years of age, she had already reached the Innate Fourth Tier—a truly remarkable achievement, especially considering that Shen Han’s own elder brother was much older and yet lacked her level of power. Precisely because of her formidable talent and the constant doting she received from those around her, she possessed a pride that was anything but ordinary.
Turning to a fellow disciple beside her, Xu Minlin could not help but remark, "The sky is nearly dark. Shouldn't we head straight for the cave, secure the treasure inside, and leave this region immediately? There isn't even a decent town in this area, let alone a market where one could purchase anything worthwhile. There is nothing here. Staying in a place like this is truly agonizing; a backward place is always a backward place."
When she finished speaking, a disciple nearby smiled and chimed in with a compliment, "Indeed, Junior Sister Xu. Brother Luo is simply being cautious. In my view, with our combined strength, there is absolutely no need to waste time communicating with that angler over there. Even if he is a local, so what? He’s nothing more than a dejected loser whiling away his time fishing in a place like this."
