The next day
As dawn was breaking.
Yu Yuan returned to Linhuan Pass and descended from his cloud in front of the Water God Temple by the Huai River bank.
Wen Zhong had been waiting inside the temple all night and finally breathed a sigh of relief upon his return.
"How come it took you so long? Was your opponent that formidable?"
Yu Yuan pondered briefly and nodded slowly: "Indeed, very formidable."
That White Lotus youth took a hammer blow from him without being completely obliterated, managing to escape with his Primordial Spirit intact – surely that counts as formidable, right?
Wen Zhong, unaware of his thoughts, assumed the two must have gone through an incredibly fierce battle, with the senior brother ultimately emerging victorious.
"It must have been tough on Senior Brother!"
Wen Zhong expressed his gratitude.
In his eyes, this was a matter concerning the Human Race.
The fact that Yu Yuan had offered his help was all due to taking care of him, his junior brother.
