Yun Li glanced at Li Junze, wanting to offer some words of comfort, but fearing that it might lead to unnecessary misunderstandings, he simply nodded and left. As soon as Yun Li departed and closed the door, Li Junze slumped onto a nearby chair in a state of despair. A single tear escaped the corner of his eye and slid down to the tip of his nose. Nan Yu pushed the door open and entered, sighing slightly at the sight of Li Junze's sorrowful appearance. Since the first day he had followed his master, the man had always been cold, ruthless, and decisive. This was especially true on the Wuling Continent, where the rumors surrounding the Hall Master of Pill Hall were nothing short of terrifying. Yet, ever since he laid eyes on Yun Li in the Dark Moon Ghost Forest, he had seemed as if possessed, unable to pull himself free.
Nan Yu sighed and crouched down before Li Junze. "Master, perhaps Elder Yun has his own concerns. If we don't succeed this time, we can simply try harder later. Who knows, perhaps Elder Yun might agree then."
Li Junze remained silent, and Nan Yu simply accompanied him quietly. After a long while, Li Junze looked up and instructed Nan Yu, "Go get me a jar of wine."
