Kong Rui leaned against the door to listen to the commotion inside, but suddenly, there was a loud bang in the room.
Kong Rui kicked open the door without hesitation and rushed in.
The pungent smell of smoke assaulted her face. Thick smoke blurred her vision, so Kong Rui couldn't see the situation clearly.
Kong Rui covered her mouth and nose with one hand as she tried her best to shout into the room, "Mentor! Are you in there?"
"Uh-huh…" A muffled response came from Kong Rui's right side.
Kong Rui fumbled in the direction of the voice.
After taking a few steps, Kong Rui tripped and fell to the ground.
"Ouch!" A moan sounded, then a complaint came from above Kong Rui's head. "Are you trying to crush me to death?!"
Only then did Kong Rui realize that the person who tripped her and caused her to fall was her "mentor".
She struggled to get up and fumbled around amidst a cloud of gray smoke. Finally, she felt a hand.
