"I-It's Elder Ru Qi… She's an Elder in my sect," Yi Chen answered and was about to tell his clan's name as well, but realised the very next moment that there was no need to.
"Ru Qi?! Huhuhu, so that's how it is…. So, you had been secretly nurturing such a talent behind my back all this while..." Elder Tao's serious countenance turned mischievous the moment he heard Yi Chen's words, and a wide grin appeared on his face.
"???"
Yi Chen couldn't help but stare at the old man with his mouth lightly ajar, finding it difficult to believe that the person in front of him was the same one he had met inside the testing hall.
Cough! Cough!
Clearing his throat, the very next moment Elder Tao regulated his mood and changed the topic, "Anyways, congratulations on successfully becoming a Pill Apprentice. Now you are officially a part of our Supreme Pill Forging Guild."
"Thank you, Elder Tao," Yi Chen bowed slightly and said with an expectant smile evident on his face.
