In the blink of an eye, three more days swiftly passed.
On this day, Nangong Jianchen came alone to Ye Xiaofan's residence.
The two stood in the glow of the setting sun, quietly gazing at the seemingly endless desolate prairie before them.
"Wan'Er asked me to tell you she's already on her way to the Divine Sword Sect. The situation is quite urgent, so she didn't say goodbye to you," Nangong Jianchen murmured.
"You're also going to the Divine Sword Sect, aren't you?" Ye Xiaofan speculated.
Nangong Jianchen nodded at his words.
"This is the Divine Sword Sect's final test for us before joining. We have to travel alone across the Star Moon City area, to the border assembly point. The journey is rife with bandits, and powerful figures abound. It's quite dangerous, probably a test of our courage."
Or rather, a test of their character.
If a newly accepted disciple is a coward, then there's no need to proceed; the Divine Sword Sect wouldn't want such disciples.
