"Ahem..." Rean caught her attention. "So... what you have been looking for was your master?"
Elsie took a deep breath, nodded at him. "Sorry for not telling you before. Everyone enters the Celestial Supreme Palace in search of treasures or a way to break through into the Celestial Realm. I was afraid that if I had told you the truth, you would have just left me behind, and I knew I would be safer with you guys, especially after seeing your power in this place. That's why I have my medallion and a little bit of extra inside knowledge, which were given to me by my master."
Roan couldn't detect a lie there. "So be it. With you and your master down there, perhaps we will gain more than we lost by dragging you along. But we will want a better explanation later."
Elsie faintly smiled and turned back to the deep hole. "Master, what's your condition? Should we go down and try to pull you back up?"
