Wang Ping was genuinely surprised to hear the news, but more than that, he felt a sense of shock and regret. Though Zuo Xuan appeared gentle, she was strong-willed, and he had once been very optimistic about her chances of ascending to the Third Realm. Besides, she had only recently reached the Second Realm. Normally, she wouldn't have been in such a rush to break through to the Third Realm.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo Xuan only recently reached the Second Realm. Why was she in such a hurry to ascend to the Third Realm?"
He asked aloud.
Just as he spoke, the figures of Yang Rong, Hu Qianqian, Xuanling, and Yu Lian appeared at the courtyard gate. Yu Lian flew directly into the courtyard on a cloud and landed on Wang Ping's shoulder, while the other three bowed respectfully from the entrance.
