บท 123: Troublesome Bing Hei

The trip over to the Tower of Enlightenment was quite a bit longer than before, since I was starting from the most central, exclusive district even of the Inner Court. "Chen Huan?" I spoke up after we passed the Inner Gate.

"Yeah, Z?"

"I have a bad feeling. I doubt anyone else recently admitted to the sect could have reached the 90th floor. Maybe I'm wrong and it's some veteran who's going now, but I remember something Bing Hei—you remember I told you about him?" Chen Huan nodded and I continued, "I remember something he said the last time we met. He said he was the top talent at the Academy the year below mine. I'm probably wrong, since with the talents he said he has he shouldn't be able to reach the 90th floor…but what if it's him?"

"You're worried you might have to team up with your old enemy. Well, if he tries anything I'll handle him. No human cultivator can stand up to a Sacred Beast. You've got nothing to worry about, Z."

"Thanks."
