Fang Zhirou's eyes widened as if someone had just told her she was about to ascend on the spot.
For a brief moment, her mind went completely blank.
The legendary Phoenix and Dragon Dojo Master…
Had a task.
For her.
Shock came first.
Then, like a delayed wave crashing against the shore, nervousness followed.

Her thoughts immediately spiraled downward.

The idea struck her like a bolt of lightning.
Her breathing grew uneven.
Her imagination, as unreliable as ever, began painting increasingly tragic outcomes.
Wang Chen, sitting across from her, watched the girl's expression change every second.
His lips twitched uncontrollably.
What exactly was going on inside this girl's head?
