East Cave Border, fog is thick.
Raindrops cascade down from Skytop, while the dust spewed from Mount Tanyao's mouth has become so dense that it cannot disperse.
Bai Xiu, dressed all in white, held Gu Xiaoman, in black, walking in the rain and gray mist.
Gu Xiaoman is calm and sensible, beyond a child of her age.
She can't see the scene outside clearly.
At this moment, everything her eyes meet is dark, with no light.
"We're almost there."
Bai Xiu's voice is somewhat hoarse.
He knows what the girl is thinking right now.
Regarding Gu Xiaoman's thoughts, he can guess, and he can empathize.
However, those comforting words, though at his lips, are hard to say... At times like this, comforting words seem very insincere.
So Bai Xiu chose to remain silent along the way and just walked.
"Thank you..."
Unexpectedly, Xiaoman suddenly spoke.
"Thank me?" Bai Xiu was stunned for a moment.
"Master Bai Xiu, thank you for the Thunder Pearl and all the teachings."
