Lian Xuejin’s voice carried a hint of apology. She had always prioritized the Human Race above all else, and the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit was of paramount importance. If it were her, she wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice her life for it. But Shen Ping was different. Apart from being human, he was her personal disciple, and over the years, the two of them communicated almost daily. Especially when Shen Ping entered the Ascension Hall, she had been right by his side strategizing for him, so beyond the bond of master and disciple, they shared a level of trust that ordinary people could scarcely imagine.
Therefore, deep down in her heart, Lian Xuejin did not want Shen Ping to face danger.
The day she conveyed the message from the higher-ups of the Human Race, she could not help but feel worried. This worry only grew stronger as time went on, to the point where her state of mind became somewhat unstable, making it impossible for her to enter a state of cultivation—something that had never happened to her before.
