"I'm surprised that you're still remembers me," the Fairy Girl Ahyeon Xuan replied, a smile softening the harsh lines of her aged face.
"I shared a drink with your master once, so of course I remember. A thousand years ago, you didn't look like this," Master Lian said, a faint glimmer of nostalgia passing through his eyes as he smiled.
He had lived for nearly ten thousand years, and many of the acquaintances from his youth had long disappeared from his life.
The Fairy Girl Ahyeon Xuan showed a hint of bashfulness. With a wave of her hand, the disguise on her face disappeared. Though her outfit remained unchanged, the wrinkled face of an old woman transformed into one of breathtaking beauty.
"Given my age, it's more convenient to use a different face when traveling," she explained.
For Hayeon Ren, this was the first time seeing her master's true appearance, and the revelation left her deeply shaken. It had been centuries since this face was last shown.
