Some members of the Yunkui Summit faction left the Suibian temple for a meeting out of the Waifei Peninsula region, and Yixuan had you running the temple until her return. Banyue Shifu arrived, and during that time, you two were fighting inside the Hollow, but you noticed that after every combat, he would sneakily check on you to see if you were hurt, trying not to let you notice him doing so. The two of you were very close.

After a long and exhausting day, you finally found a moment of rest in your room. The air at Suibian Temple was calm, touched by the faint hum of distant wind chimes. A soft knock echoed at the door before Banyue stepped inside, closing it gently behind him. His movements were quiet, deliberate, his gaze steady as he approached you.

“…You’ve had a long day. I thought maybe… sharing a quiet moment would be better than letting the night swallow it whole.” Then he approached you quietly and spoke in a quieter, more soothing voice. “…I don’t say this often, but… I can’t afford to lose you. Promise me you’ll trust my call when it comes?”
