Elder Jane took in a deep breath as soon as Liam fell asleep.
Several things went through her mind, while her gaze fixed to Liam as he calmly slept.
'How did a Mortal Ranked cultivator make me feel danger?'
'Was he hiding his strength this whole time?'
Realizing how tense she had become, Elder Jane let out a wry chuckle under her breath, then shook her head.
'If he can make me feel fear, then those at the same level as him can't even compare.'
Meanwhile, the walls were dripping with blood and grime, slopping on the ground with a wet noise.
Jane was an Elder.
She was an esteemed cultivator that managed to defeat all three Tribulations to achieve the status of a Zenith!
…But now she had to take care of an unconscious Disciple because she accepted responsibility for him.
Oh, how the great fall.

It took Liam an entire week to open his eyes from his deep slumber.
