บท 239: Strange Starlight

There was silence from Chen Huan for a short while, then, <The rat says he agrees, that if Gao Rong causes you to win by strengthening himself through this trial of overcoming his fellows, he won't even complain or make excuses. He says even Heihei said he'd kind of enjoy seeing it happen.> 

<Yeah, too many such stories end in tragedy. I'd love to see a second one end better, like with Lo Kien.> 

<Yeah, that kind of person is interesting,> sent Chen Huan, <maybe we can even be friends with him after, depending on which sect he joins.> 

<Yeah, I kind of miss the days tutoring Lo Kien. Although, now that we know it'll be a while before anything more happens with the bet, I should get cultivating while I can.> 

<Gotcha. Actually, he did get into the 800s of the group after yours. So, we're thinking we'll rejoin you and Heihei until you take the third test, since nothing's likely to happen with the bet until after you go anyway.>
