Chapter 27: A Visit To The Jail
The more Han Yu thought, the more he realized just how low his chances were now.
"Would the Twin Leaf Peak Sect be an option?" Han Yu wondered, not knowing anything about them. "Maybe they'd be willing to take me even at a lower stage?" he hoped.
Thinking of this, he knew what he needed to do next.
"Let's find out more about this sect. If they take those at lower stages, I might be out of luck. Even if they take those at the Seventh Stage of the Body Tempering realm, it might just be possible for me to reach that in time." Han Yu said to himself, trying to spur his motivation.
Slumping forward, Han Yu wiped his face with a defeated sigh. He needed a plan, fast. If he didn't find a way to power up, his dream of joining a sect would be about as realistic as him suddenly sprouting wings and flying to the heavens.
"Alright, first step—find Fat Kui and Dan Hu. They'll probably know someone who knows about the sect. Second step—figure out a way to get stronger. Third step—profit."
With renewed determination (and a newfound wariness of airborne surprises), Han Yu stood up and cracked his knuckles.
It was time to get to work.
With more motivation, Han Yu tried harder to look for his companions. He went to every restaurant and tavern he could think of that the two would be able to afford. But that turned out to be a waste, as they were nowhere to be found.
"They didn't get arrested or something, did they?" Han Yu wondered.
It was certainly a thing he could see happening.
