"Hey."
The Holy Sword Maiden suddenly called out, snapping Li Bowen out of his daze.
When he turned to look at her, she held a sword-shaped badge in front of her, seemingly offering it to him.
This badge looked similar to the one in Yuan's possession, but it was golden in color and had more refined details.
Li Bowen's eyes widened at the sight of this badge, but before he could say anything, the Holy Sword Maiden spoke, "The mortal left before I could give this to him. If he returns, give it to him for me. I promised to verify his qualifications, after all."
The sword badge was akin to a referral, but it came from none other than the Holy Sword Maiden, which guaranteed Yuan's admission to the Holy Sword Temple.
"Yes…" Li Bowen accepted the badge with stiff movements. Even someone of his stature had never touched this object before.
"Wait. Did you say he'd left?" Li Bowen suddenly asked.
