Since Yuki had been admitted as a disciple, Xiang Shan had been strictly limiting the disciple's activities. Before that, Yuki was not even allowed to play a supporting role, only waiting inside the vehicle.
"Allowing you to play a supporting role" was a great recognition for Yuki.
"It has come to this point..." Yuki remarked as they descended the stairs.
Xiang Shan sighed, "At this stage, even if we get separated unexpectedly, you can find your way back on your own. Even if you can't find your way back, you can search for resources online and learn on your own. The necessary foundation has been laid for you. When it's time for a dispersed retreat, even if you face an emergency on your retreat path alone, you can essentially handle it. Now would be a good time to get to work, don't you think?"
Yuki glanced again in the direction of his hometown.
