"Brother Liu, what a coincidence."
Fairy Zhuang smiled gracefully, feigning a casual encounter.
Hou Niao came to a stop, amused. This woman had deliberately waited here for him.
"It's been a while since we parted last year. The Fairy seems even more transcendent than before. It seems Langya Mountain is indeed nurturing... Hmm, what do you need me for?"
Fairy Zhuang walked closer, her demeanor natural, yet the words that came out of her mouth surprised him,
"Brother Liu, there's news from above. You might have something to do."
Hou Niao's heart stirred. He, of course, understood this was definitely not an assignment from Wu Sect—the channel was all wrong and no Tongxuan junior still in the Natural Realm had any reason to inform a senior brother like him. Piecing together what he saw and heard at Old Zhu's place, this probably had to do with another identity Liu Yishou held.
