In the void, Lian Caiyi's heart skipped a beat as she instantly sensed the formidable presence of these two senior figures by the side of the Wolf God.

-Undoubtedly, it must be a powerful entity of the same caliber as the Wolf God!

Realizing this, Lian Caiyi became even more cautious and quickly bowed to the two individuals.

"The Luan Xin Ge, Lian Caiyi, pays respect to the two esteemed seniors."

The young man by the side of Lian Caiyi also respectfully bowed and said, "I am Huo Yun, a junior. I pay my respects to the two esteemed seniors."

"Oh? Last name Huo?" Candle Dragon expressed slight surprise and asked, "What is your father's name?"

Candle Dragon's inquiry puzzled the young man, but he respectfully replied, "Respected seniors, my father's surname is Huo and his given name is Feng. He is a member of the Yun sect."

"Oh? Huo Feng…" This name made both Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie wear peculiar expressions.

Both of them turned their gaze towards Lu Heng and simultaneously exclaimed, "Huo Feng?"

Then, they looked towards the young man beside Lian Caiyi and said, "This young lady… could she be the wife of Huo Feng?"

Lian Caiyi felt perplexed in her heart, but she also nodded in agreement and smiled, saying, "Do the two esteemed seniors happen to know my husband?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝙗𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Jiu Mie chuckled and cast a sidelong glance at Lu Heng, saying, "Indeed, we are acquainted."

With his hands held behind his back, Candle Dragon let out a long sigh and said, "So that's how it is, my friend. I understand now. It turns out you have ulterior motives… Ah… I understand."

Jiu Mie also nodded and said, "I understand now. No wonder you're called the Old Wolf; your thinking is clear, always able to make people suddenly wake up and understand your true intentions… Admirable, truly admirable."

As the dark clouds gathered and the wind of the demon howled, Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie exchanged sighs repeatedly, their cryptic words leaving Lian Caiyi and Huo Yun bewildered, uncertain of what these two revered elders were discussing.

These cryptic words from such revered elders are simply impossible to ignore. Who knows if they hold any crucial guidance or warning? If one were to overlook or fail to comprehend them, who knows what chaos may ensue?

Lian Caiyi looked to Lu Heng in a plea for help, hoping that he would come to her aid and provide an explanation.

However, the current Lu Heng had a face full of exasperation, making it difficult for him to explain-what were these two mischievous friends thinking about!

I'm just using Huo Feng's alias for the sake of convenience, okay!

I'm not interested in other people's wives!

With a resentful glare, Lu Heng shifted his attention towards Lian Caiyi and, smilingly, changed the subject, "Since our parting in the South Sea, it has been more than a decade since we last met. Unexpectedly, here we are, encountering each other once again in the Eastern Sea Return Ruins… Miss Caiyi, and little Huo Yun, where do your journeys lead you?"

The enigmatic Eastern Sea Return Ruins, though situated above the depths, conceal the existence of the renowned Sanxian Island. Regrettably, these three celestial paths remain exclusive, inaccessible to the outside world, rendering the location of Sanxian Island unknown to ordinary individuals.

For the majority, the enigmatic emptiness above Eastern Sea Return Ruins discourages any inclination towards venturing to this place.

Therefore, Lu Heng was quite astonished to encounter a cultivator here.

In the presence of Lu Heng, Lian Caiyi had nothing to conceal and smiled as she spoke, "The Wolf God, I must confess that I have brought Huo Yun to the Return Ruins to fulfill a certain engagement."

"Three years ago, Huo Yun fortuitously encountered a senior acquaintance who bestowed upon him valuable guidance and established a three-year commitment. The senior instructed Huo Yun to await at this location, where, in due time, he would descend upon the Return Ruins and accept Huo Yun as his disciple."

"Now is the opportune moment when the tryst of three years arrives, hence Caiyi, accompanied by Huo Yun, ventures to the hallowed precincts of the Return Ruins to meet that enigmatic elder." fre(e)webno(v)el

Lian Caiyi explained the causes and consequences in a cheerful tone.

After listening, Lu Heng remained silent while Jiu Mie spoke, "Lady Huo, there is something I must remind you of. In the Eastern Sea Return Ruins, my companion is neither surnamed Lu nor goes by the name Wolf. Please be cautious not to address him wrongly, for it may lead to severe consequences."

Jiu Mie earnestly admonished.

Upon hearing these words from the venerable monk, Lian Caiyi felt somewhat confused, and then a hint of nervousness emerged.

She quickly turned to Lu Heng and said, "Caiyi is unaware of the situation and accidentally called the senior by the wrong name. I hope the senior can enlighten me on how I should address you."

Lian Caiyi had a worried expression on her face, fearing that her previous address might have truly affected Lu Heng.

On the side, Candle Dragon's lips curled slightly as he gave a half-hearted pat on Lu Heng's shoulder, saying, "Indeed, my friend, tell Miss Caiyi how she should address you now. If she mistakenly calls you by the wrong name and it causes trouble for you, it would be quite unfortunate."

A gust of devilish wind and dark clouds swept over, causing a sudden twitch in Lu Heng's brow. However, he soon revealed a gentle smile and said, "Just call me 'Nameless'. In the Eastern Sea Return Ruins, I am devoid of name and existence. Miss Caiyi, please refrain from addressing me incorrectly in the future. Let us temporarily forget about the previous titles."

Jiu Mie, who was standing beside, burst into laughter and said, "So, my friend, you are called Nameless… Ha… You sure change names quite swiftly."

Candle Dragon let out a breath and said, "You have given us so many names, and now we are all confused, unsure of which name to address you by."

As the two of them harmonized in chorus, Lu Heng couldn't help but feel his brows twitching uncontrollably.

Lu Heng, glaring fiercely at the pair, said, "Address me as Nameless! From this moment on, I shall be known as Nameless! A nameless being with no surname! Remember it!"

Jiu Mie and Candle Dragon exchanged a glance, both of them bursting into laughter and nodding simultaneously, saying, "We remember, dear Nameless friend, we remember."

Candle Dragon continued, "Next time you change your name, remember to give us a heads-up… Hahaha…"

After Jiu Mie finished laughing, he looked towards the visibly uncomfortable Lian Caiyi, along with the young man beside her.

Jiu Mie thought for a moment, then said, "Although it is our first meeting, I once had a chance encounter with your father. In that case, allow me to present you with a small gift."

Saying this, the frail and emaciated old monk reached into the tattered cloth bag he carried with him, rummaged for a while, and finally pulled out a withered orange. He said, "Although this orange has been kept for quite some time, I have carefully preserved it until now, and it is still edible. I shall gift it to you."

"The old fellow doesn't have anything impressive to offer. Young one, please don't mind."

Jiu Mie, while speaking, extended his hand and offered the orange he held.

Upon seeing this, Lian Caiyi couldn't contain her excitement and hurriedly made the young man kowtow in apology. How could the gift from the esteemed elder next to the Wolf God be anything ordinary?

For Huo Yun, this is simply a heaven-sent blessing.

After Huo Yun respectfully expressed his gratitude and received the gift from the old monk, Lu Heng glanced at the withered orange and suddenly smiled, saying, "Since my good friend has given a gift, allow me to present a small token of appreciation as well."

"Huo Feng, my dear brother, and I had an inseparable bond. It would be too miserly of me if I were to not extend any support to his descendants."

Saying so, Lu Heng reached into his sleeve and pulled out a tattered piece of cloth, handing it to the young man beside Lian Caiyi, saying, "However, I hurriedly left without carrying any valuable items. I shall offer you this piece of cloth instead. When your clothes are torn in the cold weather, you can use this cloth to patch them up."

"If we have the chance to meet again in the future, then I shall provide a proper gift."

Smiling from ear to ear, Lu Heng extended the tattered piece of cloth.
