Han Sen had just returned to his little jade island when Thousand Feather Crane and the Yun sisters dropped by.
Han Sen frowned. For his safety, the leader of Sky Palace had issued a decree forbidding students of Sky Palace from approaching the little jade island. If his three friends had been allowed to visit, it meant they must have received approval from a Sky Palace supervisor.
As expected, they brought good news alongside a serving of bad news.
The good news was that Lone Bamboo was doing fine. He was going to be released soon. The bad news was that Exquisite of the Very High had selected Han Sen. So, Lone Bamboo didn't need to go to the Very High anymore. Han Sen would have to go and be with the Very High in his stead.
"Sky Palace Leader wanted us to tell you," Yun Sushang said. "If you don't want to go to the Very High, we will still find a way for you to stay here. If you don't want to go, you don't have to push yourself."
