บท 2004: Conditions

Alex sat in a room with just the sect master of the Blue Silk sect, as the two of them alone were going to decide what they were to do now.

"I have thought of a few conditions to allow you to join the sect while also letting you leave. Let's see if you like this by any chance," the old man said.

Alex nodded. "Go ahead, senior."

"First, I know that you want to find your family quickly, but I cannot allow you to stay out of the sect for too long. Honestly, I would rather you stay here for a few thousand years to train and then go search for them, but I doubt you will listen to that."

"That I won't," Alex said. "My first priority is to go find my family. Everything else comes second."

"I understand. So, instead of forcing you to stay, I will force you to return," the man said. "The condition I propose is that for the next 2500 years, you are free to do what you want, whether you want to stay in the sect or go roam outside, it is up to you."
