During the journey where his Master flew him towards Fairy Cliff on Divine Phoenix Peak, Lin Xiao's heart gradually grew heavy, and he sighed inwardly.
It wasn't because he'd made a huge blunder today. Embarrassment, for a man like him singularly focused on completing the storyline and ascending to immortality, was a foreign concept.
What truly annoyed him was this: The protagonist, Ye Chen, had just been injured by Zhu Wanning and had also taken a punch from Xiao Hongling today. Could this guy really last until the major upcoming plot point of the Five Branches Martial Competition?
Even if Ye Chen did make it to the Five Branches Martial Competition timeline, could he really heal his injuries within a mere month, achieve a breakthrough in his abilities, and, on the day of the competition, challenge him with vigor, just as in the original storyline?
Lin Xiao doubted it.
