Lin Wu looked up at me.
"Brother Ru… I heard from Brother Yuen that you fought two cultivators to save my life. I'm in your eternal debt. Although," she winced, "my Proto-Core is shattered, and I won't be of much worth."
I put on a humble facade.
"Please, Sister Wu, don't forget about Brother Yuen! It was him who actually helped you digest the Second Chance Pill."
Lin Yuen shook his head.
"I almost foiled Brother Ru's plan. I thought you were dead already and didn't even think to try saving you! I—" He paused, eying my new sword. "Wait, isn't that the sword of this spear-wielding man? You defeated him, Brother Ru! So you were avenged after all, Sister Lin Wu!"
"I killed him, but remember what our orders were. The Union… well, it's alive, but it's in no state to fight right now."
Lin Yuen frowned.
"Then… we must join Grand Elder Ning! Look to the sky—there's still a battle to fight and win!"
