"How can you be sure of that? Don't you think that she'd avoid you and never come back? You'd be wasting time here waiting for her", Elder Shen reasoned.
The Ascetic narrowed his gaze before looking over his shoulder, staring at Ruishi Lei and Ao Qin.
"It would do everyone good if you put your weapons away, I haven't done anything yet."
But Ao Qin unsheathed his saber by a single inch, revealing the shining blade.
"How can we be sure of that? We've heard of your reputation, someone ending their own family line", the dragon-kin muttered.
"Ah, that old story. I did do that, eradicated all of them. Of course, I would've outlived them in the end, killing them only hastened the process", the Ascetic replied.
He then looked back at Elder Shen.
"Why wouldn't she come back? She is concerned about you. Why else would those two beasts protect you and that girl so fiercely", he said, "In the end, you two will be her downfall."
