First Encounter with Change

A beam of white light split the dim, heavy world, and Yan Hui was stabbed by the dazzling glare until he could not open his eyes. After no one knew how long, when he opened them again, he saw the deep-blue night sky through the gaps between the treetops.

"State Preceptor... ah!" He shot upright, but the movement tugged at his wounds. His whole body felt as if it had been scraped by knives, and before he could fully sit up, he collapsed back to the ground.

Luo Yunji finished his circulation, rose, and looked at him. "With that little ability, you still wanted to follow behind my senior brother. I really don't know who gave you that confidence!"

Hearing Luo Yunji's voice, Yan Hui ignored the pain in his body and twisted his head into an awkward angle to look at him. When he saw Luo Yunji standing beside him, perfectly unharmed, Yan Hui let out a heavy breath of relief.

"Wonderful! As long as you're all right!"

Luo Yunji was a little dazed when he heard Yan Hui's words. "Are you stupid or something? Is whether I'm fine really that important to you?"

"If something happened to you, even if I made it back alive, the Vice Sect Leader would never spare me!" The corners of Yan Hui's mouth lifted as he said happily.

After hearing that, Luo Yunji paused. "When we get back, I'll have Little Senior Brother make Tasty Things for you!"

"Then this lowly one will thank you in advance!" Yan Hui grew even happier after hearing this. Even if he did not know whether he could leave this Venom Snake Valley alive, Master Luo Yunji's words still made him very happy. This meant he had been accepted by the Little State Preceptor, right?
