u, senior!”

“Ha, no need for thanks. I did what was necessary. Now, I’ll teach you a technique for escaping. Master it and no one will ever catch you. When you’re strong enough, you’ll find me.”

He waved his hand, sending a white light into my forehead, merging with my mind. I clutched my head in pain, but eventually recovered. Getting up, I bowed deeply, “Thank you, senior!”

“Haha, no need for formalities, my young master.” With that, he disappeared into my dantian. Just before entering, he said, “I am Qinglong.”

I called out, “Senior Qinglong! Senior Qinglong!” but heard no reply.

Suddenly, my vision blurred.

“Yun’er, Yun’er…”

Opening my eyes, I saw my grandfather.

“Grandpa, where am I?”

Chapter 6: Seeking Safety Amid Danger

“Yun’er, you’ve been unconscious for half an hour. Do you not know what just happened?”
