Profound Martial Ridge, Sima Family.
"Hmm, Thirteenth Sister is back!?"
The Sima Family Head, upon hearing the report, immediately rushed to the hall with an expression of surprise and joy.
These past days, with the family patriarch's matters involving Blue Lake Mountain weighing on his mind, his role as the family head had been a daily torment.
Constantly, he was waiting for Sima Qiuhua to send back good news.
At the moment he heard of Sima Qiuhua's return, his first thought was that the family's issues had been resolved.
When he arrived at the hall and saw not only Sima Qiuhua but also two individuals in Qingyun Sect Enforcement Hall robes—a man and a woman—his expression slightly stiffened as he sensed something amiss.
"Thirteenth Sister."
The Sima Family Head addressed Sima Qiuhua, whose face showed a hint of fatigue, and then slightly cupped his hands toward the two Qingyun Sect disciples.
