Trying to get to the other side

"Oh, you're back..." Liet casually remarked, much to Hao Xuan's surprise.

"Back? When was I gone?" he questioned curiously.

'Did he sense something?'

Liet nodded, "Just now. Your soul was pulled behind the veil. Looks like it went well? Although you shouldn't go poking there by yourself since it is as dangerous as it is interesting."

Having made sure Hao Xuan was fine, Liet walked back to his corner in silence not bothering to explain any of his points further which made Hao Xuan even more curious than before.

'He was able to sense my connection to one of the Nine?! That's not something just anyone can do. Who the hell is this guy??'

Hao Xuan quickly glanced at the image in the palm of his hand for a few seconds, engraving it into the back of his mind before it disappeared for good.

He was being offered several thousand favour directly from one of the Nine for killing this 'Rain' guy.
