During the return trip to the Celestial Orthodox Martial Alliance, Qingyi ultimately decided to set the Celestial Spear aside and use the Black Diamond instead.
The Celestial Spear was a fast ship, of course, but it was massive, and it still couldn't compare to a small vessel like the Black Diamond, which cut through the void and completed the journey in just seven days.
Tianjin had also departed in his personal ship, arriving at the Alliance ahead of everyone else and already beginning to organize things.
When he learned of Qingyi's arrival—one day after his own—he went to greet him personally, a smile on his face.
Stepping out of his office and walking through the Alliance's long corridors, Tianjin spotted Qingyi approaching.
Lingxi was in his arms.
Qianyao walked to his left, and Yuehan to his right.
"Goldi Granpa!" Lingxi declared with a big smile, waving her little hand at Tianjin, who couldn't help but chuckle.
