A-Ruo blinked, her eyes full of suspicion as she asked...
"Weren't you supposed to have died inside the Sword-Slaying Ruins? Since you didn't die, why didn't you follow the main group?"

This time, he had been nowhere to be seen for more than two months, only to suddenly appear in the second heaven of Swordwalk Small World.
