"Oof… Phew…"
"Why are we doing this to begin with?"
"Can't we step out and help Lady Maria in her trial at least?"
"Master! Can't you tell her that this is too dishonorable for us Cultivators of a sect like the Blood Demon Sect?"
Old Master Wu Lien glared at his disciples with a tired, bored expression. Compared to having an agonizing death or his soul eaten, he thought that doing some physical labor wasn't even a problem.
"Why are you complaining so much you lot?!" he groaned angrily. "Once Lady Maria is done with this trial we'll be able to return to Murim… or well, eventually! It shouldn't be too far away from there. All of you are powerful Cultivators with strong bodies, carrying a lot of these Nightmare Cores is somehow too much work now? Maybe you've grown too spoiled…"
"Y-Yeah but even then, carrying hundreds- no, thousands of these things around is exhausting!"
"How are you even fine when you're so old, master Wu?"
