"Is this mission just for me alone, or...?"
"This time, the mission is only for you. The girl can join you on the next one." Dragon King clearly understood these matters—some things were meant to be done, others were best postponed.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wenxuan protested, "Didn't we agree that my sister would come along?"
"This mission is extremely dangerous, and one might not return from it. If you let your sister follow, would you really want to put her in harm's way?" Dragon King spoke calmly, as if there was nothing more to say.
After reflecting a bit more, Lu Wenxuan seemed hesitant; after all, such matters should not be taken lightly.
Thinking it over, he firmly said, "Since you're so sure about this, let my sister start on the next mission instead! I don't want her exposed to any threats."
Lu Xiaodie, however, felt differently and discontentedly said, "I want to go."
