"Are you really okay?"
Hearing Tang Wulin's answer, Gu Yue gave him a simple once-over. No matter how she looked at it, she felt it could not be that simple.
"Of course."
Tang Wulin answered earnestly.
"That's good, then."
Seeing this, Gu Yue could only nod, half-convinced, and respond softly. Although he had been thinking about something else just now, it looked like he had simply been pondering something.
As long as he wasn't thinking about girls... it was nothing serious!
Besides, there weren't any other girls besides her!
"The problem—"
"Isn't big."
Gu Yue thought rationally, a faint smile appearing at the corners of her lips.
She had no other thoughts. She simply felt a little happy, that was all!
"Focus yourselves. Once you enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, the only ones you can rely on will be yourselves."
At that moment, Wu Zhangkong spoke slowly from among the crowd.
"Huh?"
"Teacher Wu, aren't you coming into the Spirit Ascension Platform with us?"
Hearing Wu Zhangkong's words, Xie Xie froze for a moment before he could not help asking.
"Of course not."
"The Junior Spirit Ascension Platform has a restriction of under level forty. Never mind your Teacher Wu, who's infinitely close to becoming a Soul Sage—even I can't enter."
Wu Zhangkong did not answer. Long Hengxu, standing beside him, chuckled and explained.
"So that's how it is..."
Xie Xie nodded in realization.
"Mhm."
"But you needn't worry. I will be watching your situation outside at all times. If danger arises, you must immediately initiate an emergency withdrawal."
"As for the precautions, you'll be told about them shortly."
Wu Zhangkong nodded. Rather unusually, he said quite a lot as he looked at the group before him.
Then, led by Long Hengxu and Wu Zhangkong, the group entered an elevator.
