!!?
The shouting from outside the valley startled Nangong Luo, who was cultivating in the Cyan Stone Pool. Her expression shifted quickly from initial alarm to delight.
"That's Second Brother's voice! Big Brother and the others have finally returned!"
Nangong Luo was overcome with excitement. She quickly stood up and rushed toward the valley entrance.
"Big Brother, Second Brother…"
Looking at Jiang Che and Fang Yuan standing before her, Nangong Luo's smile bloomed radiantly.
"Hehe, Third Sister, it's been so long! For these ten years, you've held Tiger King Ridge alone—thank you for your hard work!"
Jiang Che's face showed a warm smile as he spoke gently.
Leaving Nangong Luo alone at Tiger King Ridge for ten years, he still felt quite guilty about it.
"Big Brother, you're being too polite. In these ten years, nothing serious happened at Tiger King Ridge—I was just cultivating in Peach Grove Valley all this while!"
Nangong Luo shook her head, answering without a care.
