A new day.
Ivan arrived at Randall's three-story round tower.
As it happened, Randall was free today. It was only after Ivan's arrival that he found his senior apprentice sister Gina and senior apprentice brother Mieyan were also there, having arrived earlier and sitting quietly in the living room.
"Mentor, it's been so long, your disciple has missed you," Ivan greeted as he approached.
"Pfft." Gina couldn't help but laugh. She quickly covered her mouth and gestured, "I just thought of something funny. Please continue, go on with what you were saying."
"What's so funny, Gina?" Ivan looked at her with discontent.
"Then I'll say it."
"Say it."
"You asked for it," Gina stressed before continuing, "Who doesn't know that you, Ivan, are always so busy. If nothing's up, you wouldn't come to see the mentor. Am I right?"
Hearing this, Ivan stood there awkwardly, as it seemed she was indeed right.
