It’s quite exhilarating, isn’t it?

"With that said, there's one more thing that I need to discuss with you in detail, now that we are going to work together," Chihiro said, breaking the script of how, more or less, we planned this meeting to go. 

He then turned towards where I sat with Claire before nodding his head and then pointing it out towards the door. 

"You kids can leave. This is the discussion I need to have in private," he added, excusing us out of the meeting. 

'Hmm?' I squinted my eyes a bit, unprepared for the sudden change to the plan of how things were supposed to work out…

But who was I to stop Chihiro, a ninth-stage cultivator and the father of my woman, from telling me what to do?

"Yes, sir," I nodded my head before standing up only to offer Claire a hand and then help her up as well. "We are going to take our leave, then," I announced, only to turn around and, while pulling Claire along, leave the room.
