Plan to Leave

"Don't worry about the young lord. He does not need to go through the ritual just yet," the jaguar said. "Perhaps we were too hasty to do what we did. He's barely over 8 years old. It wouldn't hurt for him to gain a little more emotional maturity."

"Is lady Ren fine with that? Oh actually, how is Lady Ren? Was she hurt? Is she fine?" Alex asked. The last time he saw lady Ren, she had taken the brunt of 3 different Heavenly Judgment lightning attacks. 

That attack had been so strong that Alex felt fearful just being in the vicinity of it.

"Lady Ren is doing… okay," the jaguar said. "She did suffer a bit of damage from the lightning, but it's nothing a little bit of closed cultivation won't heal."

"I see," Alex said. "I'm sorry how it went the last time I was back there. I was way too focused on protecting Pearl and I ended up disrespecting and even hurting you all."
