Chapter 2607. Decision
Sky Palace Leader allowed Han Sen to go home and think the matter over. He could inform the leader once he had come to a decision.
“If I go, it will save me three years of healing. I will also be given the support of the Very High. It is a great deal. But I will risk exposing my true identity. If I don’t go, nothing bad will happen, but it will take me some time to heal. And while I’m healing, there won’t be much I can do to further myself. My ability to practice will be suspended, and I will have to locate my own resources.” Han Sen was deep in thought the whole way home, wondering what he should do.
After a while of deliberation, he decided to stay in Sky Palace. His recovery would only take a short time, anyway. And he could get his own resources. It would just be a slower process.
But if his identity was exposed, that would be very bad. It would affect the safety of the entire human race.
When Han Sen returned to the little jade island, Lone Bamboo was there waiting for him. The man didn’t look to be in poor condition. There was no sign in his countenance that he had just been released from prison.
“I’m going to the Very High,” was the first thing Lone Bamboo said. And that surprised Han Sen.
“Why the sudden change of heart?” Han Sen asked Lone Bamboo with confusion. Lone Bamboo had been adamant about not going, and he had claimed that he would rather remain in prison. Now he was free, and he had changed his mind.
“I don’t want to go, but I can’t make you go in my stead. The way the situation stands, I have to go,” Lone Bamboo said.
“Sky Palace Leader said he can figure this out. Perhaps there is a way in which neither of us has to go,” Han Sen said.
