"Where are you going now?" Ling Hezhou asked.
Chi Yu said, "I'm going to find Senior Brother Xuanji."
Ling Hezhou fell silent. Ling Tian spoke in his place. "Your Senior Brother Xuanji is far too dangerous. Chi... Martial Uncle, I don't think you should take the risk."
Chi Yu said, "I know, but he's my Senior Brother Xuanji."
His gaze was resolute. "No matter how many dangers or hardships there are, I'll go to his side. That's my promise. Senior Brother Xuanji said that those who make promises lightly seldom keep them. Once I've said it, I have to do it."
"Even if you die?"
"Even if I die."
Ling Tian fell silent and said no more.
Just then, Chi Yu suddenly sensed something. He opened the System Panel and saw the dot of light belonging to Xie Xiyi, overlapping his own position exactly.
Chi Yu: "..."
When?
When did he get here?
Chi Yu looked around but saw no sign of Xie Xiyi.
He found it somewhat inconceivable, yet somehow not surprising.
A streak of light flew toward him. Chi Yu instinctively drew his sword to defend himself, but when his gaze locked onto that light, he noticed something unusual.
"Phantom Lightning?" he called softly.
The streak flew up to him and only just managed to brake in front of him, sending its hilt tipping high into the air.
Chi Yu put away his sword and held out his hand to it. Phantom Lightning immediately turned around and nuzzled his hand affectionately with its hilt. The hilt still retained a bone-piercing chill, having lost the warmth and delicacy of jade-like bone. Clearly, someone had only just let go of it.
Chi Yu glanced at the System Panel. Xie Xiyi's dot of light had already left.
Chi Yu: "..."
*Wait,
