Long Yue naturally thought the same; after all, the Starry Elder had the power to intimidate many people, and with his cultivation already at the pinnacle, such strength was truly daunting.
The Starry Elder made his way to the rear garden, saw his disciples, and approached them.
"Ahem!" the Starry Elder coughed.
Ling Tianyu and his wife heard this familiar cough and quickly released each other and turned around hurriedly.
"Master." Upon seeing the familiar figure before them, Ling Tianyu and his wife immediately knelt in respect.
The Starry Elder gestured for them to rise and asked, "How goes your cultivation?"
"Progress is a bit slow," Ling Tianyu replied, "but at least it's steadily advancing."
"Take your time," the Starry Elder said. "There will come a day when you reach the pinnacle. For now, there is still time to delay."
"Do not worry about your forefathers."
"If I can come out, then they can too. It's only a matter of time."
