Shi Feiyan's eyebrows shot up. "An expedition? Just the two of us? But Patriarch, I've just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. How much help could I possibly be?"
"Your experience isn't an issue," Wang Li countered. "There are certain formations and talismans that require the spiritual energy of a Nascent Soul cultivator to activate. Your newly formed Nascent Soul will be sufficient. Besides," he added, a hint of amusement creeping into his voice, "your swordsmanship is more refined than you think. Even seasoned Nascent Soul experts should find it troublesome."
Shi Feiyan felt a surge of warmth at his words. She hadn't realized he held such a high opinion of her skills. A sense of pride bubbled within her. "Very well, Patriarch," she agreed readily, "I accept your proposal. Exploring this world sounds infinitely more appealing than remaining confined within these camp walls."
