As they travel back to the Buddha Benevolent Sect, Lian Chen took the opportunity to sit beside Duan Wu Kun and inquire about his newfound closeness with Li Mei. With a hint of amusement in his voice, Lian Chen teasingly asked: "What on earth has happened between you and Li Mei? I don't recall you two being that close before we entered the Martial Art Pavilion."
Duan Wu Kun blushed slightly, his cheeks turning a shade of red. Duan Wu Kun hesitated for a moment before replying: "Well, you see… After exiting the Martial Art Pavilion, we saw that you weren't around anymore, so I suggested that we travel together. Then, after the ten-colored lightning appeared in the sky, I felt that my cultivation and bloodline was suppressed, leaving me in a weakening state. Luckily, Li Mei was there to take care of me, and we ended up spending quite a bit of time together."
