Accepting his First Mission
In the air above Soaring Sword City, watching Xue Bai have fun reuniting with his old friend, were two figures.
"Husband, do you think it's okay for Bai'er to continue on his path." Li Rou asked softly as she witnessed Xue Bai run off with Huo Long.
While she was Xue Bai's biggest supporter, she also worried the most about him. Li Rou knew better than well how fraught the cultivation world was. And though she wanted Xue Bai to prosper and rise above his peers, she also didn't want him to fall halfway like all the geniuses before him.
"Rou'er, sometimes things are fated to happen, and any attempts to stop it prematurely would only delay the inevitable." Xue Feng sighed as he pulled the melancholy Li Rou into his arms, "Bai'er is talented, and whatever changed his fate after his fall is something beyond our comprehension. He is a dragon in a pond, and keeping it in the pond would do more harm than good."
