The Mount Dan Sect and Taiyuan Peak are too distant, so distant that even a cultivator at the Hollow Void Realm wouldn't be able to spread their Divine Sense far enough to grasp everything that's happening here.
So there's only one possibility!
Thinking of this possibility, Qi Shiyun's beautiful eyes showed a hint of astonishment. When her gaze fell on Xie Jingxing, she saw the same answer reflected in his eyes.
That senior must have intervened for the sake of Chu Ning.
I reported Chu Ning's situation to the Sect Leader, and that senior must have learned of it.
"Elder Qi, you've taken on a good disciple."
After a moment, Xie Jingxing finally said with a smile. He didn't want to guess why that senior had taken a special interest in Chu Ning, breaking so many years of precedent.
No matter what that senior wants to do, the Mount Dan Sect will support it. There's no need for him to speculate about the reason for the senior's special attention to Chu Ning.
