Chapter 443: Reunion

Without any hesitation, Liu Mei flew towards Shun Long's direction at full speed, attracting everyone's gaze in the process.

After all, every single disciple still had their attention placed on this white-robed young woman who had effortlessly passed through the fourth test just now. Seeing her eagerly fly towards someone else naturally made them feel both curious and jealous.

Even Xie Xingyi had a stunned expression on her face after seeing Liu Mei's reaction.

Due to the disciples that were blocking her view however, she was unable to see who Liu Mei had seen who had made her behave like that. And yet in her mind, a possibility had already appeared, making the gorgeous young woman's emerald eyes lit up with a bright light.

At that moment, Liu Mei had already arrived in front of Shun Long who had already stood up from his seat, as he stretched out his arms and embraced the stunning white-robed beauty in front of him.

''Long-ge!''

Liu Mei's melodious voice resounded in the air, charming everyone who heard it, as she stepped forward and hugged Shun Long tightly.

Her tone just now was completely different to the cold and distant voice that she used when she replied to Cao Ling's questions earlier.

As they stared at the blue-robed young man whom this white-robed young woman was showing her affection to, disbelieving looks appeared on the faces of the disciples around Shun Long.

It seemed as if an explosion was taking place in their minds as none of them could accept the scene in front of their eyes!

''A rank 1 Nascent Soul stage rookie? How is this possible? How did this person even pass the third test? Is there some kind of mistake?''

''The third test? How did he even pass the first?''

Those discussions immediately attracted everyone around them, while even the disciples of the Holy sect seemed to have turned their attention towards Shun Long.

A peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator participating in the fourth test? Some of them even started to doubt their eyes, wondering if that blue-robed young man was intentionally suppressing his cultivation to fool them on purpose.

However, they quickly shook their heads rejecting this idea, since it didn't make any sense at all.

Why would someone suppress his cultivation to the peak of rank 1 in the Nascent Soul to make himself look weak? Besides, once he started fighting in the arena, such a thing would be easily seen through.

A deep look flashed through Cao Ling's eyes when his gaze landed on Shun Long's silhouette, while the corners of his lips curved up in an indiscernible manner.

Shun Long didn't seem to care about the gazes of the people around him, as he sat back down on his seat and looked at Liu Mei who was staring at him excitedly.

At the same time, although the disciples that were staring at him and Liu Mei seemed to have confused looks in their eyes, most of them still turned their attention towards the center of the arena since they knew that the fights were about to continue.

Of course, now that she had seen Shun Long, Liu Mei couldn't care less about the fights in the arena as she smiled brightly and said

''Long-ge, I missed you!''

''I missed you as well.''

Shun Long smiled warmly and patted Liu Mei's head lightly as he replied, before he continued

''You also seem to have gotten a lot stronger during this time. Not only did you break through to the Nascent Soul, but you even reached the middle of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul in one go.''

As Shun Long said this, a wave of relief also filled his heart at the same time.

Although he was confident that Liu Mei would most likely be able to protect her life during the Holy sect's test, especially with the rank 5 'Blood Ignition pill' as a last resort, he was still afraid in his heart that something bad may happen to her.

It was only after seeing her step into the arena earlier that the final worries disappeared from his heart.

Liu Mei nodded her head like a little girl who was happy to receive praise from the person she loved, as she began to tell Shun Long everything that she had been through in this last month, starting from the first test of the Holy sect.

At that moment, a gorgeous young woman dressed in green robes stared at Liu Mei and Shun Long from a distance, while her lips curved up into a mesmerizing smile that charmed everyone who happened to see it.

Seeing Liu Mei chatting with the blue-robed young man in front of her, Xie Xingyi could easily guess his identity. And yet, she didn't go to interrupt the 2 of them right away, as she continued to stare at them from the distance.

At the same time, Shun Long seemed completely oblivious to the gazes of the people around him, as he continued to stare at Liu Mei who was narrating her experiences during the past 1 month. Occasionally, the 2 of them would also turn their eyes towards the fights at the center of the arena as well.

More than 2 hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Liu Mei barely had enough time to explain how she had met Xie Xingyi and how the 2 of them had spent the last 25 days together inside a cave during the third test, when a young man with long brown hair stepped into the center of the arena.

The young man held a golden-colored token in his right hand with the number '351', as he stared at the disciples in the audience seats like a hawk as he waited for his opponent.

At that moment, Liu Mei seemed to have noticed the number in Shun Long's token, as her lips slowly formed an enchanting smile behind her white veil, before she said in a gentle voice

''Long-ge, good luck!''

Although she had yet to hear about Shun Long's experiences during the last one month, Liu Mei wasn't concerned in the slightest about Shun Long facing a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

It didn't matter if Shun Long's opponent was an outer disciple of the Holy sect, Liu Mei had nearly blind confidence in Shun Long's ability.

Although the outer disciples of the Holy sect couldn't be compared to average cultivators at the same level as them, even if it was just these 1000 weakest outer disciples, Liu Mei was certain that Shun Long could win, even if he had to fight against a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator who had a peak rank 3 gold grade weapon as well!

Standing up from his seat, Shun Long nodded his head at Liu Mei with a gentle look, before he turned his attention towards the long-haired young man at the center of the arena.

Seeing Shun Long stand up and fly towards the center of the arena, everyone instantly turned their attention towards this rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, while different looks flashed through their eyes.

At that moment, the white-robed Dao Emperor's, Cao Ling's lips curved up into a bright smile, as his eyes were focused on the figure of the blue-robed young man that landed at the center of the arena.
