Inside the Wanxue Palace.
Yu Xuezi stood in a side hall, carefully painting the afternoon sunset with a brush.
The soft red sunlight slanted into the palace, casting his shadow long and old.
"In such a rush, what's the urgent matter? Yu Hu?"
Without turning around, he already knew of Yu Hong's arrival.
"Master! I recently noticed something about the mark left on someone I care about, and it seems unusual. I suspect there might be trouble. Could I take leave to return and check on things?"
Yu Hong entered the side hall, bowed with clasped hands, and explained immediately.
"Just go yourself; come back after resolving it." Yu Xuezi turned his head to look at him.
"But, I can't go back. Once I return... I'm afraid it will be very difficult to come back to the Mining Star..." Yu Hong worriedly said.
He could indeed return, but returning to the Mining Star would be much harder, as he relied on the Savior Ship drifting around without a map before.
