Jiang Yishan chuckled while gathering his emotions and sparred verbally with Chu Yunyi.
"I was just surprised, that's all. Didn't you say you wanted to travel across the continent after graduation? Why the change of heart?"
Chu Yunyi's social smile, fitting and courteous in such a setting, couldn't hide the cold and distant look in his violet eyes, which revealed his inner detachment and disdain.
"Recently, I've heard many stories about doomsday prophecies from the Baili Ancestor, and with the frequent activities of Star Beasts, beast tides of various scales have attacked different parts of the Qianyuan Continent — it seems there's a sign of the prophecy coming true."
"The rise and fall of the world concerns every one of us. Whether the prophecy is true or not, I feel compelled to contribute my humble efforts to the stability of Qianyuan. In comparison to serving my country, traveling seems shallow, so I'll put it on hold for now."
