Luo En replied slowly and thoughtfully.
Hecate glanced at the disciple standing before her and snorted in annoyance.
"You speak as if you don't have the same thing."
"But they can't beat me in the Mortal World, nor dare they lay a finger on me."
"..."
Hecate had no comeback, her expression growing even darker.
Alright, I'm the easy target now.
"Please rest assured, I will certainly ensure your safety. As long as I'm here for one day, I won't let any outsider harm you!"
Hearing Luo En's solemn promise, Hecate's mouth twitched.
"Should I thank you for that?"
"No need to thank me, it's only right!"
Luo En displayed not a hint of self-congratulation, his face full of sincere respect for his mentor.
Hecate: "..."
Luo En continued, his face showing a hint of helplessness and regret.
"Of course, compared with the enduring Fate, human efforts do have their limits. Although I wish to protect you forever, there will likely come a time when I'm unable to."
