That night.
In a room within the Haoran Academy, a courtyard.
Clang...
A stool was placed on the ground, emitting a soft noise.
"You say you are my Respected Master?"
Chi Jia stared blankly at the figure in front of him, emitting a golden light, much like a miniature sun.
Appearing in the middle of the night and claiming to be his Respected Master?
"Indeed, I am your Respected Master. I have been residing inside the Companion Ring on your hand. Our mentor-disciple relationship is predestined by the Heavenly Dao. Seeing that you had not transformed earlier, I did not show myself. Now that you have transformed, it is time for me to emerge and teach you, so that our bond as mentor and disciple is fulfilled."
Chu Yuan calmly repeated the explanation he had prepared in advance.
"Predestined mentor-disciple?"
Chi Jia was a bit slow to react.
He glanced down at the ring on his hand.
A person jumps out of a ring and proclaims himself as his predestined Respected Master?
