Chapter 3144: Changing People
Rui watched as Kane departed from the mountain, returning to the Town of Hajin with a solemn expression.
From this day forth, their friendship will have fundamentally changed.
Kane’s decision to cease his relentless pursuit of Rui came as a shock to the latter as a shock. To a certain extent, he had expected that Kane would keep up with him to some extent forever. He had taken Kane’s company with him across higher and higher Realms of power for granted, and now that reality had proven to be different, he found himself already missing the bond they had.
And yet, at the same time, he was happy for Kane.
He had known that he and Fae had had a special dynamic with each other from when they were in the Martial Academy. He knew that the two of them had had a close relationship for a long time. He was just happy for the two of them.
With his family as a new variable, there was no way that he would ever want to become a Transcendent Candidate. Of course, it wasn’t necessarily true that one needed to forsake family to become a Transcendent Candidate. Bodhisattva Maitreyi and Sage Jinryong Namgung both were big on family and had yet to arrive at the very cusp of Transcendence.
Rui shook his head, heaving a sigh.
The decision was made, and he had every intention of respecting Kane’s will.
The goal of ’keeping up with Rui’ was a slightly immature one compared to focusing on his family, which held true weight and importance. It appeared that he longed for more of a meaningful and real drive, one that he found in Fae and their unborn child.
