When Hong Ling and Bing Tong realized that Jiang Ming didn't know how long he had disappeared, they were baffled and shocked.
"Y-You seriously didn't know about it?" Bing Tong enquired, clearly unable to believe him.
"Does it look like I'm joking?" Jiang Ming held a bitter smile as he shook his head.
"I thought only a few months had passed by and that's it." He added.
It was true that he really didn't know half a year had gone by due to the fact that there were still numerous people waiting at the entrance of the ancient ruin.
However, Jiang Ming didn't know that half a year was truly insignificant in the eyes of cultivators. Hence, even if they had to wait for a year, it would merely be a breeze for them.
Though that couldn't be applied in the same way in the mortal's eyes, much less in politics and power struggles.
