Prompted by Li Yuan's reminder, Fan Wubing realized that his mindset had been too unstable recently, leading to frequent minor mistakes.
After leaving Sword Continent, he returned to the Fan Family and found Luo Qingyao,
"Junior Sister, listen, I need to be away for a while. Please help me ask Xiaohong for a leave of absence."
"Have you found a solution?" Luo Qingyao asked expectantly.
"I don't have a definite answer, but regardless, I have to try."
"Then why not tell Xiaohong yourself?"
Fan Wubing paused for a moment, "I... I can no longer lie to her."
"This... why?" Luo Qingyao didn't quite understand.
Fan Wubing actually couldn't give a clear reason either. He increasingly felt that Zhuge Hong being by her side was no coincidence but a destiny approaching. However, he didn't know if it was urging him to walk into a cage of fate or to escape from it.
He shook his head, "Just say I need to go out for inspiration, to prepare for future lessons."
