Watching the three of them come out to greet him like a neat little family, Li Qian suddenly felt, for some reason, that he was out of place.
'Should I just go back now?'
Of course, the thought only lasted a moment in his mind before he kicked it away.

Although he didn't look injured—he had seemed full of vigor when greeting him just now—Li Qian still felt he should ask.
Elder Tie patted his chest, declaring confidently, "I'm fine. When that deep Dimensional Rift first appeared, a lot of Pet Beasts poured out, but with the two of us working together to hold them off, it wasn't a major problem."
"The two of you?" Hearing Elder Tie's words, Li Qian glanced at Teacher Han Ke, a faint smile playing on his lips.
