Though he looked young, he faced the earth-shattering magical battle just now without fear, with a demeanor of calm and dignity.
"Disciple pays respect to the Fourth Elder!"
Zhao Li and a group of Lingyin disciples, having narrowly escaped death, awakened as if from a dream, and bowed deeply in greeting.
"No need for formality. This journey to the grotto heaven must have startled you all."
The Fourth Elder nodded slightly, her voice gentle. Then she looked at Chen Ye and praised,
"Instructor Chen, you managed the timing of that communication jade talisman quite well."
Chen Ye, with a very thick skin, immediately replied solemnly:
"Fourth Elder, your foresight is unparalleled. I knew that you, elder, must be nearby and would never let these petty scoundrels harm the seedlings of our Lingyin Sect."
In reality...
He merely thought that since it would be wasted otherwise, he might as well crush the jade talisman upon returning, just in case.
