「Qin Family's Back Mountain」
Atop the mountain, white clouds drifted by. Two figures sat facing each other.
"You're not afraid he'll run away, even after your Qin Family hands him over?" a man with a tuft of a beard at the corner of his mouth asked, glancing at Qin Chuan.
"He can't run," Qin Chuan replied, his confidence evident.
The man nodded. "True. After being poisoned by my Han Family's Seven-Star Darkening Scatter, the only cure is dual cultivation with the one from my family." He added, "That poison is unique to us, brought from within the sect."
Qin Chuan fell silent for a moment before changing the subject. "When will the one from your family emerge from seclusion?"
The man chuckled lightly. "What? You can't even wait that long?"
"It's not that I can't wait," Qin Chuan said. "It's that I don't want any mishaps."
"Rest assured," the man laughed. "My personal visit here is proof that she is not far from emerging."
