"Immortal Shi asked for me?"
Wang Ba could hardly believe it.
"If not you, who else? Your luck has come!"
Tao Yi was quite excited. He clapped Wang Ba hard on the arm. "You rascal, I really couldn't tell you had this in you! Looks like Senior Brother Shi intends to teach you some real skills. Once this war ends, he'll probably recruit you into our manor!"
I'll be gone before the war ends.

Tao Yi looked up at the streak of light,
