The system screen flashed before Fang Yuan's eyes again.
He watched the number go down and then suddenly a thought flashed past him.
Wait... how am I supposed to explain it to my master when my cultivation suddenly disappears?
His gaze flicked from the translucent countdown to Zhao Lusi, who was still standing there, brows knit in quiet contemplation.
I'll be fine… right?
"Tsk."
He shook his head sharply and stared back at the screen.
The seconds were bleeding away far too quickly.
[30 sec… 29 sec… 28 sec… 27 sec…]
He had to come up with a convincing lie, right now or this would spiral into something far worse.
If his cultivation base suddenly dissapeared in front of Zhao Lusi, his master, no amount of explanation was going to work, even when he says the damn truth.
There was no way someone like her would buy the story of an almighty system fucking up his life, he looked up and then stared at his master.
