Without a moment's pause, Instructor Zhou led the five assembled students back to the Ancestral Star.
As they passed through the Dimensional Gate and entered the Adventurer's Hall, Li Qian spoke up, "Instructor Zhou, what about Senior Brother Du and the others?"
"They left the day the training was suspended, and the commission ended. They all have their own affairs to attend to; they couldn't have just stayed here until now," Instructor Zhou explained casually.
Li Qian nodded upon hearing this. It was what he had expected.
He went on to ask, "So, about the Adventurer's Badge you mentioned earlier…"
Li Qian was just trying his luck. 'It'd be best if I could get it early,' he thought, 'but it's fine if I can't. It doesn't hurt to ask, after all.'
Instructor Zhou looked stunned when he heard this. He stared at Li Qian. "After what we just went through? Our whole group nearly died back there, and you *still* want to enter a Dimension Plane?"
