The guardians were certainly pleased with the way that Lin Mu had managed to learn the technique.

While they knew they had to act a bit reserved, they still couldn't help but show a little satisfaction.

"You've done well." The Azure Dragon praised.

"Thank you." Lin Mu cupped his hands in gratitude.

"Since you've learned the technique, you'll have to take efforts in practicing it. I myself had failed in it, so I hope that you will succeed." The Azure Dragon stated.

"I'll try my best." Lin Mu said with confidence.

"Good. Now it is time for you to leave." The Azure Dragon replied, before looking at the other guardians.

"Our time is also coming to an end here. It is time for us to return to dormancy." The Vermilion Bird said with a hint of hesitance.

It was now that Lin Mu asked something that he had been wishing to do for a while.

"May I ask why is it that the guardians have to rest? I mean, if you all are awake all the time I believe it would be a lot more helpful for all the people." Lin Mu questioned.

At first, the guardians were silent, making Lin Mu think that he had asked something wrong.

"Haha, I guess you had this question too." The White Tiger laughed.

"You won't be the first one to ask this." The Black Tortoise said, looking at Lin Mu.
