Hearing the voice outside, Chen Yu put on his robes and opened the door.
When he saw who had come, he cupped his hands. "Senior Brother Yan."
It was Senior Brother Yan, who was stationed year-round at the Heavenly Union Association Emerald Cloud Peak Branch.
"Mm." Senior Brother Yan nodded from outside the door, regarding Chen Yu with a wary gaze. "We leave for the Netherdark Sea at a quarter past the Chen Hour today. I'm here to escort you to the summit of Jadewood Peak."
He called it an escort, but Chen Yu knew perfectly well what he meant.
He had probably left the word "custodial" out of that "escort."
Chen Yu had only interacted with Senior Brother Yan a few times during the assessment. Apart from that, they had no dealings whatsoever. Why would he suddenly be kind enough to see Chen Yu off?
It was merely because he would also lose 100 contribution points if any disciple on the list failed to show up.
Chen Yu said nothing more and simply nodded. "Mm."
He closed the door.
Then he followed Senior Brother Yan down the mountain.
As they passed the bustling plaza halfway down, they happened to encounter Senior Sister Lü, who was likewise being escorted downhill by a Heavenly Union Association member.
"Junior Brother."
Lü Yanyan forced a smile in greeting.
After Chen Yu had explained the situation to her two days ago, she had made all the preparations she could. She had also used her own contacts to learn more about this "Netherdark Sea."
Ignorance had been bliss. Once she learned the truth, Lü Yanyan's vision went black on the spot!
The Demon Sect!
The Nether Ruins Sect!
The outer sea region was extremely dangerous even for cultivators in the foundation establishment realm!
Never mind
