316th Break: Successor

"Maintain the status quo?! This is all that you could think?!" an old man yelled as he threw the ink grinder to Ji Ren.

Ji Ren didn't dodge and just let the ink hit his chin and splatter on his clothes. His chin was cut and blood spilled out from his wound. But, Ji Ren didn't even wince as he had experienced more wounds and graver than this before. So, he remained standing upright on his feet with his head lowered to show his respect towards his master, as well as his repentance for making such a decision regarding the war between the Death Valley, and Huichen and the Practitioners Alliance.
