Instead, he exclaimed in shock, "Master, you... you can't be planning to escape by yourself, can you? You can't do that! There are thousands of people on and below this mountain!" As he spoke, Dongfang Xun grew frantic.
Li Sanbai smiled, his expression growing ever more affectionate. "Dongfang, you know, out of all my disciples, you're my favorite."
Dongfang Xun was taken aback. He then heard his master continue, "After all, in all these years, only you were foolish enough to never notice a thing, as if you were blind and deaf."
"What... do you mean?"
