Bo Saixi's body stiffened slightly.
The hill fell silent for several seconds, with only the sea wind howling past.
Bo Saixi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled two words. "My mission."
Qian Renxue blinked but did not press further.
After a moment of silence, Bo Saixi suddenly turned to look at her. "You and that boy named Jiang Chen are more than ordinary friends, aren't you?"
The tips of Qian Renxue's ears rarely flushed red. She coughed lightly, her tone deliberately calm. "Senior, why are you asking about this?"
Bo Saixi chuckled softly and withdrew her gaze. Looking out over the distant sea, she fell silent for a moment before speaking. "I cannot see through that boy."
Qian Renxue was slightly startled.
"There is a power within him whose source I cannot sense."
Bo Saixi said calmly, "It is not Soul Power, nor is it Divine Power. It seems to be some kind of... older force."
Qian Renxue's heart stirred, but her expression remained unchanged.
At that moment, Bo Saixi turned away, her robes fluttering as she left behind a final remark.
"Rest well. Tomorrow's examination will not be easy."
After walking several steps, she suddenly stopped and added without looking back, "Regarding your grandfather... I will keep it secret for you."
Qian Renxue was briefly stunned, then her lips curved into a smile. "Thank you, Senior."
Meanwhile.
Jiang Chen lay on the bed in the guest room prepared by Sea God Island, staring at the wooden ceiling above him as the absurd scene from the day replayed in his mind.
"The Life Goddess personally stepped in to snatch him away... I would not even dare write a plot twist like this in a novel."
He rolled over, yet an unconscious smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
