"And this Young Miss is?"
Xu Changge tilted her head slightly, her eyes fixed on Han Xue.
Han Xue was wearing a white dress at this moment, her face flushed with excitement from clinking cups with Su Bai and eating and drinking out.
Her cultivation was at the Qi Refining Peak, and she was quite adorable in appearance.
Xu Changge politely inquired about Han Xue's background on the surface.
In her heart, she had already evaluated Han Xue.
She finally concluded that Han Xue's threat level was not even half of Lu Hong's.
Su Bai turned to look at Xu Changge, blinking her eyes.
"Hmm? Changge-jie, how did you know I was here?"
Xu Changge chuckled and shook her head, walking over to sit beside Su Bai.
Han Xue and the few children beside her squeezed together, making some space.
"The Danfu Pavilion is full of my Xu Family people, so naturally, I asked them."
"Oh."
Su Bai nodded.
At this moment, Xu Changge asked again:
"Xiaobai, you haven't introduced this Young Miss opposite us, and these little friends, to your Elder sister yet."
Hearing Xu Changge ask again,
Su Bai then introduced Han Xue and the others to Xu Changge.
At the same time, she also told them Xu Changge's identity.
When the children heard that Xu Changge was an Elder of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect, they all looked at her with admiration and respect.
Only Han Xue, upon hearing this identity, instinctively frowned, but quickly adopted a respectful expression.
Although Han Xue's expression changed very quickly,
Xu Changge, being a Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivator, still caught it.
However, Xu Changge did not react, pretending not to see it.
Han Xue picked up a wine cup with her delicate hand and said to Xu Changge:
"So it's a Senior from the Green Bamboo Sword Sect, I've heard much about you."
Xu Changge merely nodded slightly, responding with a gentle smile:
"Hehe, not at all, Elder sister is only an Elder after all, not a big shot, just a runner."
Xu Changge, after all, had single-handedly supported her Family's rise.
Han Xue seemed very naive in front of her.
The rhythm of the dinner table was entirely in Xu Changge's hands.
After the meal, it was also Xu Changge who ended it.
"Everyone had such a good time today, so as your Senior, I'll give you some small gifts."
Saying that, Xu Changge took out some small items from her Storage Pouch.
"These are Medicinal Pills and Magical Artifacts that Qi Refining Cultivators can use. They are rewards I usually give to the younger generation. Since you are friends with my younger sister, then I am also your Elder sister."
"These are just meeting gifts, please accept them."
After distributing the gifts, Xu Changge pulled Su Bai and left.
Han Xue and the children stood at the entrance of the restaurant, watching Su Bai and Xu Changge leave.
The children also received such gifts for the first time.
Holding the Magical Artifacts they received in their hands, they examined them up and down, unable to put them down.
Han Xue looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand.
Inside were Qi Refining Pills.
Han Xue could also use them.
"Alas~"
Han Xue sighed helplessly.
She naturally knew that her brother was somewhat resentful, even hostile, towards the Six Sects.
Previously, she had gotten along very well with Su Bai, and during the days her brother was not around, she had a very pleasant time with Su Bai.
She just hadn't expected Su Bai to have an Elder sister who was an Elder in the Six Sects.
"That's right, Senior Su Bai lives in the Inner City, so she naturally has some background. It's inevitable that she has connections with the Six Sects. I just didn't think that far."
She shook her head.
"Only Senior Su Bai's Elder sister is related to the Six Sects."
"Senior Su Bai has no relation to the Six Sects, so brother shouldn't be angry because of this, right…"
Han Xue murmured softly.
Today was supposed to be a day to celebrate the hopeful recovery of her Spiritual Root, but her mood was somewhat downcast at this moment.
She took the children beside her and returned.
On the other side, Xu Changge held Su Bai's hand and walked on the street.
After seeing Han Xue's appearance in her Divine Sense, a hint of contemplation flashed in her eyes.
This girl, her expression was a bit surprised when she mentioned her identity as an Elder of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect just now.
She would have someone investigate later.
"Xiaobai, how have you been these two years I've been away?"
"Elder sister has successfully become a Third-Rank Formation Master! My status in the Sect will also rise significantly in the future!"
Xu Changge tilted her head slightly, revealing her beautiful jawline, with an expression that seemed to say, 'Praise me quickly.'
Su Bai turned her head slightly.
She didn't see Xu Changge's slightly proud expression because it was blocked by a large mass.
Ancestor Xu was too wealthy, and Su Bai's height was not her strong suit.
So Su Bai couldn't see Xu Changge's expression.
But she could infer a thing or two from her tone.
Xu Changge was showing off to her!
"Mm-hmm, Elder sister is amazing."
"Then you should have gained quite a bit of merit from assisting in breaking the Secret Realm Restriction this time."
Although Xu Changge was not very satisfied with Su Bai's reaction,
Her mood was still quite good today.
Although it could have been better.
That Han Xue slightly dampened her spirits.
She had only not seen Su Bai for two years, and there was already another strange girl by her side.
Huh! Why did she say 'another'?
However, that Han Xue posed little threat.
So Xu Changge's mood was not greatly affected.
Xu Changge nodded.
"I've gained quite a bit of merit. When I go back today, I'll talk to the Elder about this. If there are no surprises, I'll contact my Master."
Speaking of this, Xu Changge pondered for a moment.
"Now that I've become a Third-Rank Formation Master, I can create Third-Rank Formation Plates, which can help the Sect create powerful portable Third-Rank Formations."
"A Third-Rank Formation Master's status is more esteemed than that of an ordinary Core Formation Immortal Master. My Master will also value me more."
"Coupled with the merit I gained this time, I should be able to get some funding from my Master and her friends."
As a Third-Rank Formation Master, Xu Changge was already a true pillar of the Sect.
Adding to Xu Changge's current cultivation,
As Xu Changge's Master, she would naturally come to lend a hand. Once Xu Changge also achieved Core Formation, their Master-disciple lineage's position in the Sect would be even more stable.
And friends who were on good terms with Xu Changge's Master, in order to solidify their own positions, would also choose to help Xu Changge.
After all, it was all about mutual benefit.
Su Bai kept nodding beside her.
It was all about social connections.
Xu Changge had only shown potential before, but now she had fully displayed her strength.
Naturally, there would be no shortage of people willing to add icing to the cake.
So this time in the Nascent Soul Secret Realm, Xu Changge wouldn't need to take risks and could easily obtain many resources.
"Then I'll congratulate Elder sister on her Core Formation in advance."
Hearing Su Bai's words, Xu Changge reached out and pinched Su Bai's nose.
"Your little mouth is quite sweet. Don't worry, once Elder sister achieves Core Formation, collecting Core Formation resources will be even easier. You, my younger sister, just follow Elder sister and enjoy the good life!"
"Mm-hmm, I'm looking forward to it. My cultivation has also been much smoother recently. I'll reach Foundation Establishment Peak in four or five decades at the slowest, or twenty years at the fastest."
Hearing that Su Bai's cultivation speed had increased, Xu Changge's eyes lit up.
She had thought that her younger sister would only be able to Cultivate to Foundation Establishment Peak when she was close to the end of her lifespan, around a hundred years.
