Adam felt like his friends' concern was misdirected and there was nothing that they had to worry about.
"I am fine and we all have our paths in life and mine is mine to go along alone. I appreciate your concern, but I truly am fine and I am happier than I have ever been. Living is not enough for me and I am seeking things that you are yet to understand, all I can say is that progress and adventure is what makes me happy"
There was nothing else they could say and Cole knew that Adam was one that would not rely on others and always suffer in silence, which was evident even before he was a cultivator and was barely affording to feed himself and pay his aunt's medical bills.
"Just relax and stop forcing me to be so serious. Being a leader really is draining, I wonder how you guys can do it for so long without ever breaking character" said Adam, trying to ease up the mood.
