Chapter 263: Endings and Beginnings
Exiting from his room, Li Lang didn’t have to search very long until he found Wei Ping and Long Yi surrounded by their students exactly where he last saw them, by the main hall where people first set foot when entering the pocket realm.
Long Yi appeared to have made a complete recovery, chatting with everyone with a strong voice that he could hear long before he turned the last corner.
The group noticed Li Lang’s arrival immediately, with the students clasping their fists toward him while Long Yi grinned. Without a word, the large man charged toward the newcomer, bringing him into a bear hug.
“Thanks, Li Lang. I heard you had to make a tough choice for my sake.”
The smaller man groaned as he fruitlessly tried to push his passionate companion away.
“Get off of me. Your robes are still soaked with sweat. It’s unhygienic.”
The large man listened, only to heartily slap Li Lang in the back in exchange. A resounding thud sounded out as if to assure the listeners that a red handprint had been freshly marked on target.
“Enough with this,” Li Lang managed to wearily squeak out before a sigh came. “I have something I wanted to go over with you guys. Something that will probably affect all of us, so everyone should listen in as well.”
All his students looked around at each other, searching for any clues among their comrades, but they soon settled down when Wei Ping cleared his throat.
“Then l-let’s sit down in the dining hall,” he urged.
The group briskly walked by the thick red pillars in the main lobby and arrived in the spacious hall with multiple tables spread across the room. It was a familiar place for the trio, as they had spent a decent amount of time there during their first time in the pocket realm. Back then, they were accompanied by various members of the Luminescent Realm, but this time, only their students were in attendance.
There was no problem finding a table that sat them all, and soon, eyes were turned to the one who had initiated this formal meeting.
