Then, he raised a hand and patted Su Ling'er's shoulder.
His palm was broad and warm, but when it landed on her shoulder, a bone-deep chill spread through her.
"It was my oversight. I was careless and stood in a backlit spot."
He quickly picked a spot with particularly good lighting, clasped his hands behind his back once more, and gazed up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. His face was full of melancholy, as if the endless vicissitudes of the world were drifting past his eyes.
After adjusting his position and angle, he even cast a subtle lighting effect upon himself before finally speaking:
"You can't go wrong following me.
Junior Sister, being able to join our Guixi Sect is the greatest fortune of your life!
You must understand: the Great Dao returns to one, all techniques share a single origin. As long as your heart is set on a goal, nothing can stand in your way!"
