Only at this moment did Elder Zhao's figure appear at the mountain gate.
"My apologies, I was just engaged in a brief cultivation session when I sensed Daoist Fellow Gu's presence, so I hurried over immediately."
"To have not greeted you from afar is truly a fault of mine."
"However, since Daoist Fellow Gu has arrived, why didn't you send a message in advance?"
"Brother Jian Chen and I have been waiting for you for quite some time!"
Sage Zhao, with a smile plastered across his face, stepped forward a few paces to greet Gu Haitang and gestured for her to quickly enter the mountain gate.
"Hehe... It turns out to be Daoist Fellow Zhao."
"It seems I have been negligent, no matter, no matter."
Gu Haitang, also smiling, gave a formal Daoist salute, and the two of them entered through the mountain gate side by side.
Upon stepping through the mountain gate, he could distinctly feel that nature's spiritual energy between heaven and earth was much more abundant!
