As Lex sat there, contemplating the dangers he had just faced, he entered an unusual state of mind. He was long used to nearly dying - from the very first days of his cultivation, death had been around every corner. But this was the first time he had come face to face with a near-fatherhood experience!
While the Innkeeper appeared entirely at ease, Lex was internally in a daze. Damn, he had meant the Innkeeper to appear impressive, but it was only now that he realized the dangers of being too impressive.
Life was truly tough when one was too cool.
Lex's mind raced as he went over the past few minutes again and again. His instincts were telling him, no they were screaming at him that he was overlooking an opportunity of a lifetime. He needed to think back, reflect, and realize exactly what had happened. He needed to identify what that opportunity was.
