Cultivation Tower

After learning the martial technique Shadow Veil, Yuan left the Martial Tower to visit another Breakthrough Tower. However, upon leaving the tower, he noticed an individual standing right outside.

This person was Apprentice Huan, who had decided to remain outside the Martial Tower to wait for Yuan. After all, he couldn't return to the Metal Tower without Yuan.

The moment Apprentice Huan noticed Yuan coming out, he rushed over to block his path.

"You're really persistent, I'll give you that," Yuan said.

"I will not return to the Metal Tower without you."

"In that case…"

"You can kill me if you want, but I will not budge," Apprentice Huan said, his voice unexpectedly calm. "My life will be over if I return to the Metal Tower without you, anyway." His usual arrogant and haughty demeanor was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a quiet resignation.

"I won't kill you, but I also won't return to the Metal Tower with you."
