Hearing what Elena said both Lin Yan and Xiang Xiaofang showed a somewhat sad expression but were not surprised. The final objective of their journey was to reach the Tang nation's capital and now that they had fulfilled that objective, obviously now they had to part ways.
Elena had mentioned to her students several times that she wanted her students to be free and independent. So it was very obvious that she would now tell them to create their own path in life.
"No need to look so sad. It's not like we are never going to meet again. Hmm, let's see, just think that you two will be out doing a mission for me."
Now both of them tilted their heads and asked - "Mission ?"
"Yes, I will give both of you a mission to fulfill. When you will be able to complete that mission then I will come to meet you. How about that ?"
"Amazing master. So what will be my mission ?"
