Luo Chen snapped back to reality, shaking his head awkwardly as he tried to pull his gaze away from Carefree Meng Lan, "I just find her very approachable. I don't know why, but I always feel an inexplicable sense of security around her. If only she was my sister…" His voice grew quieter until it was almost inaudible.
Thunderstorm hummed lightly, evidently unimpressed by Luo Chen's emotional display. Walking ahead, he spoke without turning his head, "Let's go. The gathering of the three great families in West Willow City means something must be happening. Such family gatherings usually hide various interests and disputes. We need not get involved. We'll only invite trouble here."
Luo Chen listened to Thunderstorm's words, and although he felt reluctant, he followed along. However, he was more anxious about the matter of the Heavenly Dragon Manual than Thunderstorm, "But don't you want the Heavenly Dragon Manual? We traveled miles just to find that manual, didn't we?"
