Wovi, ever the mischievous companion, chattered excitedly and hopped onto Wu Xie's shoulder. Master Fu chuckled at the little creature's antics before answering. "That escape route was actually built by me during my time at Lushan Academy," he explained.

Wu Xie's eyes widened in surprise. "You went to Lushan Academy too?" he asked, incredulous.

Dan nodded, a hint of pride in his voice. "Indeed. And as you progress and reach higher ranks in cultivation, you'll be able to see the stars of those around you."

Feeling a sense of wonder wash over him once again, Wu Xie marveled at the mysteries of this new realm. 'How many more secrets are there for me to unveil?' he wondered aloud, his mind buzzing with excitement.

With their conversation winding down, Wu Xie came back to his room and settled into his bed, the soft glow of the moonlight filtering through the window.
