“I killed the eight taskers who came before you.” The clear, limpid gaze of Immortal Changqing makes his young apprentice panic.
The apprentice suddenly blushes. “Then why are you helping me complete my mission?”
Immortal Changqing ruffles his silly apprentice’s hair. “Perhaps because you’re so foolish, you’d give up the mission for your master.”

The master looks at his apprentice, stern and serious.
“Apprentice, it’s time to continue the mission.”

“Forget you? In your dreams!”
