Just after leaving the Nebula Royal Family, Long Ao ran into Kuang Ao, the One-Armed Blade King.
Kuang Ao already knew what had happened to Long Ao. He felt a pang of sorrow, especially seeing the other man's head of white hair.
"Brother Long, are you all right?"
Shaking his head, Long Ao said, "I'm fine."
"I heard you're going to represent the Nebula National Protection Hall in the Thunder Empire's Thunder Battle?"
Long Ao knew exactly what Kuang Ao was worried about. Because of this, before Kuang Ao could try to dissuade him, he said, "My mind is made up on this matter."
Kuang Ao took a deep look at the young man before him. He knew Long Ao's personality; once he decided on something, he would almost never change his mind. So, Kuang Ao didn't press the issue further.
After a brief chat with Kuang Ao, Long Ao left and found an inn to stay at for the time being.
Night fell. Dark clouds gathered, blanketing the sky.
