They hadn't seen each other since parting at the Xu Family Mansion in the Cyan Spirit District, a separation that had nearly become a matter of life and death.
"I greet you, Alchemist Lin. If not for your life-saving Elixir last time, I fear I would not be here today. I might never have even had the chance to see you one last time."
Xu Hanji's voice was even colder and clearer than before, carrying with it a sense of detachment from life and death.
"Please, there's no need for such formality."
Lin Changheng made a lifting gesture with one hand, and a wisp of Magical Power floated out, stopping the female cultivator from completing her bow.
"I was not present at the time, so I was unable to congratulate you on your great progress in both Magical Power and Skills..." A faint smile touched Xu Hanji's lips.
"Come now. We haven't seen each other in so long. Why are you still so formal with me?"
Lin Changheng said with a deliberate laugh.
