"Jiang Qiu, this is Instructor Shangguan Yue from Northwest Martial University's Refining Academy," Liu Zili explained. "She was in Gao Yuan City on business, so she found me and asked me to bring her to see you."
Liu Zili's eyes curved into crescents, her smile as bright as a little girl finally eating cotton candy again after six long years.
"To be precise, I'm here to recruit you on behalf of my academy," Shangguan Yue said, glancing at Niu Yao. She tilted her head up at Jiang Qiu with a knowing smile, her voice carrying the spirit of a fiery fox yet flowing as gently as water. "Are you interested in pursuing the path of the Refining System?"
Her voice struck Niu Yao's heart like a stone, sending a tremor through his chest. His brows furrowed, as if weighed down by a great boulder.
'Why would Shangguan Yue, a genius instructor from the Refining Academy all the way from Jiangnan, personally come looking for Jiang Qiu?'
