Bai Ye's lessons turned out to be too addicting. The thrill of seeing him aside, the material was also so captivating and useful that I couldn't help but suspect he had tailored it just for me. I ended up being one of the first to show up every morning, and when I found out that it wasn't unusual for disciples to attend their own master's lessons, I started lingering around for multiple sessions a day.
Hearing everyone's pining comments and sighs about him soon became a new routine for me, but apart from that, nothing out of the ordinary happened. Not until the fourth day when a voice called from behind me on my way back to my room after the lesson: "Senior, you're staying on this level as well?"
I turned around. It was the girl that asked Bai Ye to help her with the talisman drawing last time. I nodded, "Everyone from Mount Hua is on this level." I was pretty sure she knew that already.
