"Why did you suddenly leave without telling me? Did you see someone, or were you attracted by something that made you hastily step out of the first peak?"
Pang Jian felt irritable and dejected.
He had grown accustomed to Luo Hongyan's presence, who took care of everything for him, even the Spirit Stones and the numerous materials traded at the Ghost Altar with Dong Tianze were handled by Luo Hongyan.
Spells, Spirit Stones, Calming Pills, all the necessities for cultivation, recently he hadn't had to worry about any of them.
Only when Luo Hongyan disappeared did he realize that, inadvertently, he had developed a sense of dependency on her.
"Please be safe, if you are unfortunate enough to come to harm, then I..."
A fierce light briefly flashed in Pang Jian's eyes.
He suddenly realized that Luo Hongyan, who had been accompanying him since the Solitude Mountain Range, had secured a place in his heart.
