Upon arriving at the Horizon Sect, Jiang Beiran received a grand reception from Luo Jingtian. Almost all the high-ranking members of the sect came out to welcome him. It could be described as an unprecedentedly grand welcome.
As for Gu Qinghuan, he knew Luo Jingtian did not want him to be involved in today's affairs, so he had found a reason to be sent away on an assignment beforehand. His absence was therefore quite normal.
"Sect Master Luo is truly too kind. I am unworthy of such a grand display, junior is truly undeserving."
Luo Jingtian laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, you are worthy, of course you are. If it weren't for you, how could we all be standing here, neat and tidy, to welcome you? Come, please come in, please come in."
Watching Jiang Beiran walk into the sect, many disciples who were peeking from a distance widened their eyes. After their morning lessons ended, they had prepared to go eat as usual, only to find that the powerful figures of the sect, who were usually as elusive as divine dragons, had all gathered at the sect entrance.
Their numbers even continued to grow. This left them somewhat bewildered and, at the same time, a little panicked. They wondered if some "monster" was about to attack, forcing these top-tier experts to gather here in defense.
