The woman rose from the corner where she had been sitting and casually walked toward them. "Don't get me wrong. I wasn't praising you. The idea of selflessness is nothing but bullshit. A cultivator must be selfish. Otherwise, you'll only fall further and further behind."

Rean wasn't particularly pleased with her attitude, but something else bothered him far more. At such a short distance, he should have been able to sense the woman's life force.

Roan, however, immediately understood what was happening. "You aren't actually here."
