Pavilion Master glanced at Ethan Smith and said, "Let's go upstairs first."
Ethan realized his recklessness and scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Following the Pavilion Master, they made their way to the top floor of the Pavilion Master Building.
Nothing had changed on the top floor.
As before, the Pavilion Master took a seat in her rocking chair.
She looked at Ethan and said, "You haven't reached the half-step Martial Marquis realm?"
Ethan hurriedly nodded, "Yes, I can feel my strength increase, but I always feel that there is a fine line between me and the half-step Martial Marquis."
The Pavilion Master smiled faintly at his words.
"Should I congratulate you or say you're unfortunate?" the Pavilion Master laughed.
Ethan was stunned and asked puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
The Pavilion Master took a sip of her tea and said, "You should know yourself."
