Melody Qin was indeed beautiful, but Joe Di had never truly developed any feelings for her. Ever since Manna Zhen, Joe Di hadn't been moved by another woman. After experiencing countless events, he had long passed the stage of judging people solely by their looks.
Melody Qin had wanted to leave the hall where the Skyveil Tokens were exchanged several times; she found Joe Di utterly intolerable. However, her master had instructed her not to leave the hall until she arrived.
In Skyveil, only this hall was truly safe; no one dared to make a move here.
But not just anyone could remain sheltered inside this hall—only those who had received a Skyveil Token were eligible to stay and wait here. She hadn't received a Skyveil Token, but her master was a late-stage Soul Ancestor, and thus qualified to wait here as well.
Like the other cultivators, she assumed Joe Di was staying here just to watch her. Yet after only a stick of incense’s time, Melody Qin began to doubt her own assumptions.
The cultivator she had looked down on entered and simply sat in a corner, unmoving. He neither glanced at her covertly nor used his spiritual sense to scan her.
It was a woman’s intuition, and she trusted her instincts. Since he harbored no desire for her, why was this seemingly arrogant and shameless fellow lingering in the hall?
......
Tyler He hurried back to his simple cave dwelling and used his communication pearl to send a message to Violet Zane, relaying the news that Joe Di had appeared at Skyveil. Then, he anxiously awaited Violet Zane’s reply.
He and Violet Zane had met in Ruins City, when Violet Zane was with Yu Jie. They had told him that as soon as he reached Foundation Establishment, they would immediately seek out Joe Di and help him escape the Qi Family’s pursuit.
