"Ah... How long will Master be away?"
"About five years or so. Although it's called a small realm, in fact, it's not much smaller in area than Da Xia before the mountains and seas split. Finding mineral veins and combating the Demon Race are both long-lasting battles."
"Alright."
Li Yao buried her head in her food.
She felt that Master was either in retreat or training outside, and the days they were together were always short.
At the dinner table, Wang Changming suddenly said: "Yao'er, if your master isn't here, you can ask me if you have cultivation questions."
This Grandmaster was very fond of Li Yao too, seeing in her the same liveliness he had seen in Lin Xia when she was young.
Old Ji wanted to say that she could ask him too.
He was also a Grandmaster.
After thinking about it, he decided against it.
Had it not been that he recently broke through to the second realm, soon enough Yao'er would surpass him.
He didn't want to mislead the young ones.
