Zhang Ruochen couldn't bear to send Han Xue on the extremely dangerous road. After all, she was just a kid.
Nobody knew whether the road would lead her to survival or death.
He walked to Han Xue and hugged her tightly. After a while, he moved his arms and took out a leaf shaped into a "kylin." He pierced the leaf with a string, and put the leaf around Han Xue's neck.
This leaf was from Seven Star Sacred Tuber, whose value almost equaled that of the phoenix leaf which could bring a human back to life.
It was said that wearing the kylin leaf could change one's misfortune to good fortune. Zhang Ruochen chose to believe it, no matter if it was true or not.
Zhang Ruochen tapped on Han Xue's little head, and said, "I hope that when we meet again, your cultivation will have surpassed mine." He paused and added, "You must come back alive."
Han Xue touched the kylin leaf gently with her fingers. She blinked and nodded with seriousness.
