"And that place, even the clan's patriarch dares not to enter."
Hearing Chihiro's warning, I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes, holding the air in my lungs as I tried my absolute best not to get agitated.
"So this place is THAT dangerous," I stated once I couldn't hold it any longer and breathed out. "And your wife still encouraged us to go there?"
For a moment, a bit of anger flashed in my soul, even if it wasn't my own safety that I was actually concerned about. Yet, after a moment of thought, I sighed out and shook my head before lowering it.
"Actually, scratch and forget that," I stated after lowering my head in a quick, sparse apology. "No one said the path of a cultivator is a safe one. And if we can't bear the risk in a relatively controlled environment, how could we do so when out in the wild of the world?" I voiced a theoretical question… that only me, Claire, and Chihiro could see as an actual, practical one.
