"I see… so Lulu is in the Ninth Heaven…" Yuan murmured after hearing about her situation from Senior Bai. Though it pained him to know she was struggling, it wasn't unexpected, as she had been sent to a place far beyond her current abilities. Yet, if she could overcome those challenges and push past her limits, he knew she would emerge far stronger than before.
"Falling behind the others isn't her only hardship," Senior Bai continued. "She also has to endure the mockery and disdain of her fellow disciples. Even though I warned her beforehand, she still chose to face the challenge. I can't constantly shield her since there's only so much favoritism I can show a single disciple, but I make sure nothing goes too far."
