Truth be told, Jiang Chen was more than a little eager to get Lu Yi's contact info.
"No point wasting time. Let's move." He tucked the transmission jade token away, gave Lu Yi a small nod, and shot off toward the horizon.
Lu Yi watched him go, eyes following that shrinking figure in the sky.
That guy's dangerous, no doubt. And yeah, he ruined my shot at taking down those enemies myself… but at least he's not like the rest. Didn't mock me for being mixed-blood. Didn't look down on me at all.
He let out a quiet breath, a flicker of resolve in his chest.
One day, when I've made a name for myself… I'll return the favor.
With that, Lu Yi smiled and turned to fly off in another direction.
...
At the same time, system alerts echoed through Jiang Chen's sea of consciousness.
