But Kong Jian looked a bit downcast.
He ate his instant noodles without asking any more questions.
'But his mind drifted back to the time he was with his Master. That year, they were at a place called... Dragon Mountain, wasn't it?'
'Master had taken the prized treasure of their sect and played with it for a whole month before returning. The people of Dragon Mountain had come to see her as a mortal enemy.'
'Kong Jian could still remember it clearly. He had been trembling in fear back then, yet he had stubbornly wanted to apologize on his Master's behalf.'
'He would have been willing, even if the people of Dragon Mountain killed him.'
'But to his surprise, his Master was truly incredible. She told him to get some sleep, and when he woke up, the people of Dragon Mountain were treating him with the utmost courtesy.'
They even sent someone to escort him to their guest rooms to rest, where he could eat delicious food.
