After Wu Xie had dashed off towards the academy, Master Fu remained standing in the doorway, watching him disappear down the cobblestone street. The morning breeze rustled the leaves of the nearby trees, carrying with it a sense of anticipation and an underlying unease.
Unbeknownst to Wu Xie, a figure loomed in the shadows behind Master Fu. A creature similar to Wovi, but larger and with eyes that seemed to hold eons of wisdom, emerged from the darkness. It perched itself on Master Fu's shoulder, its voice a low, rumbling whisper that sent shivers down his spine.
"Master," the creature, named Solvary, spoke, its voice tinged with an ominous tone, "do you sense it as well? Something...off about this mortal. His aura is strong, unnaturally so. I fear there is darkness lurking within him, a future fraught with brutality."
