His communicator vibrated again as another message came in. This time, it was from Wang Wenhai:
"Ah Yi, you saw the notice, right? You just got back to Red River and this happens. If you decide to go, be careful. A Secondary Rift is no joke. But if you don't want to go, don't force yourself. You're still a student, after all."
Xu Wuyi looked at the message, then glanced at his parents watching TV in the living room.
He was silent for a few seconds, then began to reply:
"Teacher Wang, I'm on my way."
He hit send.
Xu Wuyi stood up and walked toward his room. He needed to change into a training uniform suitable for combat and grab his necessary gear—mainly, the Meteor Iron Long Spear.
As he pushed open his bedroom door, he glanced back at the living room.
His parents were still watching TV. His mother was amused by a joke on the show, and his father laughed along with her.
Xu Wuyi gently closed the door.
He decided not to tell his parents about this.
