Yan Yu passed through the first combat hall and returned to the initial corridor entrance, where he saw Lin Ning squatting alone on the teleportation altar, her back to him as she silently wiped away tears while hugging her knees.
Unfortunately, these altars required a group of five to teleport back, so no matter how long you squatted there, there was no escaping.
Yan Yu walked up behind her and tentatively called out,
"Lin Ning?"
Lin Ning's body trembled slightly, and she stopped wiping her tears.
"Cough cough." Yan Yu coughed a few times and spoke in a clear voice, "I came to check on you."
"What... what's there to see," though Lin Ning's voice still carried a hint of sobbing, her tone remained as stubborn as ever, "Are you here to laugh at me?"
"Laughing at you?" Yan Yu pretended to be clueless. "I don't understand what you're talking about."
