Feng Yulan tried again to wake her brother, but his body remained unresponsive. This damn useless brother of mine, always unresponsive when I need him... She sighed deeply, frustration mounting within her. She sat down cross-legged on the ground, trying to calm herself and steady her thoughts.
"This is the worst place ever..." she muttered under her breath. They had been left here without any supervision, and she began to seriously question if joining this sect had been a good idea. Still, deep down, she knew that leaving was no longer an option. There were too many things at stake now.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of several cultivators wearing light yellow robes. They were clearly her seniors, and Feng Yulan quickly rose to her feet, bowing deeply to show her respect.
