As Liusun Yue continued to listen to the news about the previous Assessment Competition, her worries grew stronger with each passing moment. According to what everyone said, the competition was extremely dangerous, and losing one's life was a common occurrence. The gathering of so many talented cultivators meant that a single careless mistake could result in permanent confinement there. Every time she heard these cruel stories, her heart trembled. She was afraid. If Gong Dage never returned, what would she do?
As the two years slowly passed, her worries became even more intense. Before the two-year mark, she could console herself, but now that the deadline had arrived, if she didn't see Gong Dage, it meant he had encountered danger and might never come back. Just the thought of it made Liusun Yue feel uneasy, to the point where even breathing became difficult.
Now, as time passed day by day, her heart grew even more chaotic. If Gong Dage didn't return in a few more days, there would be no hope left. Therefore, she only hoped for time to slow down, just a little bit, so she could continue to wait with hope in her heart.
At that moment, a figure quickly ran into the Alchemist Guild. "Miss Liu, Gong Shaoqing and the others have returned!" These words stunned Liusun Yue, and a joyful expression instantly spread across her delicate and beautiful face. She couldn't care less about the pill she was currently concocting. She quickly walked up to the cultivator and asked, "Is what you said true? Have they really come back?" "They have, they really have!" Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Liusun Yue's eyes and eyebrows revealed an uncontrollable joy. She had waited for so long, and she finally saw Gong Dage return! Thankfully, they had safely come out of the Assessment Competition!
Without waiting for the cultivator to react, Liusun Yue had already rushed out of the Alchemist Guild. The onlookers watched in astonishment, their faces filled with confusion. They had never seen Miss Li in such a disheveled state before. "Tsk!" A muffled sound came from the pill furnace, followed by the scent of burning. The cultivators stared at the foul-smelling pill furnace, surprised that Miss Liu would disregard even the pill she was working on. In Liusun Yue's mind, there was only one thought: to see Gong Shaoqing as soon as possible. As for pills or anything else, she didn't care at all.
Baili Hongzhuang and the others continued to move forward, and not long after, two familiar figures appeared before them. Seeing these two figures, smiles appeared on the faces of Baili Hongzhuang and the others. "Cui Haoyan!" Dongfang Yu smiled. Cui Haoyan walked up and punched Dongfang Yu directly, then the two embraced each other under the astonished gazes of the students. "Good lad, you've safely returned!" Cui Haoyan joked, his face filled with joy. When he left Tiangang Sect back then, he had complex feelings. On one hand, he felt that he couldn't fight side by side with Dongfang Yu and the others, but on the other hand, he worried that he might never see everyone again. Fortunately, now that everyone had safely returned, he could finally put his mind at ease. Zhan Yunfeng also walked up to Baili Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing, his face filled with a joyful smile. "Hongzhuang, Zhiqing, you've finally come back!"
In the next moment, the three women embraced each other.
