Wu Huian gave him a curious look. "You really have changed," she said quietly. "You're not the same timid servant from before." She said with slight awkwardness.
She had chosen timid as a deliberate choice, but knew that Han Yu was anything but that in his servant days. If anything he had been audacious and a bit crazy since the day he had arrived in the sect.
But Wu Huian didn't want to say that especially after all that the boy had gone through.
"I had no choice," Han Yu replied, lowering his gaze slightly for effect. "The ravine changed me."
Wu Huian nodded slowly, accepting his explanation at face value. "Well, if there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask. And be careful. The Elders are still discussing your case. Some think it's a miracle… others think something's off."
"I understand," Han Yu said. "Thank you."
Wu Huian gave him a final smile before leaving.
As the gate closed behind her, Han Yu let out a slow breath.
'Even she noticed… I need to be more careful.'
