I'm so thrilled to see you here today.
"I had some business to attend to on White Jade Island, so I returned a few days earlier. But I'll have to go back again later."
Chen Jichuan smiled at Pei Ze while walking into the garden, asking, "Is Master here?"
"Yes."
"Not in seclusion."
Pei Ze followed behind Chen Jichuan and responded, then asked curiously, "Senior brother, you've been working at the Jade Spring Pill Pavilion for three years now—why are you returning to White Jade Island?"
"I came back specifically to discuss this with Master."
"Let's talk about it together later."
Without answering Pei Ze further, Chen Jichuan strode quickly toward Yus Chengbo's residence.
…
"Master."
After three years apart, Yus Chengbo seemed even more burdened by age, his progress in cultivation sluggish.
Upon seeing Chen Jichuan's return, his expression didn't show much change; he simply nodded in acknowledgment.
