I paused right before the steps, my eyes flicking between the person rocking in that chair and the giant axe resting beside them, all while I continued to feel the sharp gaze of Xue Zhiyan from not far away, locking me where I was.
If I continued forwards I had to deal with this person, and if I turned around I would have to deal with the woman who had two swords and a sharp smile; neither option seemed to be particularly favorable for me, but there was no way I could turn back now.
I was already here and already a member of the Sect, and even if these people wanted to make my life difficult I was determined to try and make something for myself anyways, because there was no way I was going to return to mining Spirit Jade now that I was finally here.
