"What about Aaron?"
"Ah, we don't know what happened to him ourselves," Mei and Haoran's faces turned sad at the mention of Aaron's name.
"What do you mean? How did you lose him?"
"When we left the sect, we lived in a few places while he wandered around the area for a while. Eventually, we settled inside a forest and I built us a wooden house. I hired a formation master from the branch sect to set the required fourth-rank formations on the house using our savings as payment."
Haoran began the story while Ken listened attentively. He knew his parents had a good stock of Qi stones as two of the strongest elders in the sect other than the branch sect master.
