The person who appeared before Yu Lie was none other than Pu Xing, the female Daoist child who had shared a room with him in the mixed courtyard for a year and a half.
Yu Lie’s eyes widened slightly in surprise as he looked at Pu Xing, but soon a look of understanding crossed his face.
The Daoist children of Blackwater Town were sent down the mountain in groups organized by their respective halls.
Those not affiliated with any hall were arranged by streets or courtyards, dispatched in batches.
Since both Yu Lie and Pu Xing had lived in the same mixed courtyard, it was only natural that they would end up in the same outpost after leaving the town.
Although the relationships among the residents of the courtyard might not have been particularly close, they were still neighbors.
Compared to strangers, it was much easier for them to team up.
Yu Lie narrowed his eyes, carefully observing Pu Xing, and a look of astonishment flashed across his face.
After their long separation, he noticed that Pu Xing’s aura was now as intense as a blazing furnace, indicating that she had already broken through to become a mid-level Daoist child.
His gaze shifted, taking in her physique.
Her skin was now fair and radiant, a stark contrast to the slightly tanned complexion she had before.
It seemed as though she had been living a pampered life.
