In the midst of distress, his expression suddenly shifted, and he swiftly darted in a particular direction.
No other reason but Jiu Yan's summoning; he wondered what it might be about.
A moment later, within the Spirit Jade Vein, Lu Ye bowed and greeted, "I have seen Senior."
Jiu Yan was still seated in cultivation as she had been last time, but she did not make Lu Ye wait. She directly asked, "Have you given thought to the matter from last time?"
"What?" Lu Ye was momentarily confused. The matter from last time... was it about Zhu Yuan?
Soon, he realized Jiu Yan was referring to the matter of taking him in as a disciple.
This left him unsure of how to respond, as he hadn't considered it at all. But to refuse directly seemed inappropriate.
"It seems you're unwilling!" Jiu Yan hummed lightly, already seeing his inner thoughts.
Lu Ye apologized, "Please forgive me, Senior. It's just that..."
