Chapter 475 - Awful To WatChapter
Seeing that, Mia narrowed her eyes.
"Master, is that fine?"
Zuan shrugged his shoulders as he said.
"You know we can"t touch him. Besides, he has been here for longer than you and hasn"t done anything to us. Since he accepted our request to obtain more information about the Imperial Family"s situation, that was already a great result."
Mia couldn"t help but comment.
"I didn"t mind it before since I thought he was simply hiding all these years. But then he began to move a lot more ever since Rean created the Communication System. The event in the Profound Abyss seemed to make him even more active."
Zuan nodded as he said.
"We can only keep an eye and see what happens. At the very least, it doesn"t seem like he has any bad intentions against the twins or the sect. Let"s hope it continues out like this."
Mia couldn"t help but ask.
"Could it be that he was waiting for the twins?"
Unsurprisingly, she immediately answered her own question.
"No, that doesn"t make sense. Elder Fauk has been hiding in our sect for more than 200 years. Even I wasn"t born that time, let alone the twins. How could he have been waiting for them? Ridiculous..."
Zuan shook his head in response, saying not long after.
"We can"t be sure. Perhaps he really just wanted to hide, but with the Communication System and the twins" appearance, he changed his mind. Or perhaps he knew something that would happen in our sect. However, something tells me that the twins aren"t the center of his attention. Of course, he"s very interested in them, but that isn"t everything."
Zuan then turned around and made his way out as he spoke.
"Leave it be for the moment. I believe that the day that everything will come to light isn"t too far away."
After that, Zuan disappeared, leaving only Mia pondering behind.
"Fauk, Rean, Roan, Imperial Family, Communication System... Where"s the connection?"
All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door. Mia"s train of thought was interrupted as she looked at the door.
"Enter."
Soon, a girl entered the room.
"Oh, princess. Is there something you want to ask me?"
Qia tried to not look at Mia"s face as she said.
"I know I was the one who said those words before, however... there is one thing I would like from Sect Master."
Mia smiled as she listened to the princess" request.
Back in the Formations Hall, Rean and Droman secluded themselves from others, only leaving an order that Qia could enter if she wanted to.
"Alright! We can finally start!"
Droman nodded, excited.
"Let"s not waste any more time. Oh, by the way, shouldn"t Qia be here as well?"
Rean nodded.
"I pa.s.sed by her on the way down the mountain. She said she forgot to ask the Sect Master something, so she had to go there. She should arrive at any moment now."
Droman quickly brought out the Circuitry Formation blueprints, and the two began to discuss how they should go around it. They also placed many of the jade slips from the Formations Guild Main Branch on the floor for them to check.
"Look, this jade slip has a very good rune for resistance."
"That"s quite a good rune. I also found some things that can be of use for that... errr... Spiritual Processing Unit you came up with. Take a look here."
Rean looked at the Jade Slip and narrowed his eyes.
"I can"t understand these runes."
"Ah! Sorry, sorry. These are Heaven-Level Runes and formations. Sometimes I forget that you"re still an Earth High-Level Formation Master. Let me explain."
However, it was at this moment that the door to the room opened.
"Oh, Qia! That was quick. What was it that you forgot?"
Qia shook her head as she replied.
"It doesn"t matter now. So, can I join the party?"
Droman and Rean laughed as they nodded.
"Come over. I will give you a copy of the general theory for you to study first."
Qia happily approached and obtained the manual from Rean. After that, Rean and Droman continued with their discussion as Qia read the manual.
Somewhere else, Roan was standing in front of two girls. On their side, there was a chick-like demon bird with white and black feathers. Obviously, they were Calina, Malaka, and Kentucky. Roan looked at those three with a deadpan expression, waiting for something.
"So, how was it? Did you obtain what I wanted?"
Calina then pa.s.sed four bags to Roan. Looking at the contents of the bags, his expression finally relaxed a bit as he nodded.
"Not too bad. I was really in need of this bloodthirst worm mucus."
Roan then looked at the two girls, who seemed to be completely worn out. It was obvious that this bloodthirst worm mucus was anything but easy to get. The only one who seemed to be okay was Kentucky. Well, this bird was a flying shield, so it was hard to get it injured. Nonetheless, Roan could see that some feathers and scales were also missing.
"So, did you like the mission?"
Malaka couldn"t help but say.
"Liked your head! Do you have any idea how hard it was for us to get these things? You sent us directly into their nests! We even found three Stage Four Bloodthirst Worms! If Kentucky wasn"t around, we probably would have died! I won"t even comment about the other items!"
Roan nodded.
"That"s good, then. I had no intention of sending you two for a walk in the park."
Before Roan left the sect with Rean, he couldn"t talk with the two girls since they were on a mission. They even brought Kentucky with them. That being said, he left a letter with Julio, telling him to deliver it to Malaka when she came back.
In the letter, he specified Calina"s next training steps, as well as a few items he would need. So far, he had only been giving those girls everything. It was finally time for them to pay for everything. This Bloodthirst Worm Mucus was just one of those things he asked them to fetch.
Calina and Malaka wanted to kick Roan flying, but they knew that they would only suffer if they tried.
"Alright, for your next items..."
Calina and Malaka felt a chill on their backs.
"Wait, what?! There"s more?!"
Roan nodded.
"Obviously. What can I do with just this much? I won"t be leaving the sect anytime soon, so I will have you two do the things I need."
"Can"t you simply post up a mission for the sect"s disciples? You and Rean have more than enough Spirit Stones to pay for it, after all."
Roan snorted in response.
"Why would I do that when I can have you two getting them for me for free?"
Malaka then turned around, ready to leave.
"Oh! I think I heard Master calling me. It seems to be training time. I"m leaving."
Calina felt the urge to curse that girl. Calina obviously can"t use the same excuse since her master was Roan at the moment. Unfortunately for Malaka, Roan put a hand on her shoulder, holding her in place with his Spiritual Energy. It didn"t matter how much strength Malaka put. She couldn"t even take a single step ahead.
"Don"t worry. I already talked with Mia after I came back from the capital. It seems like she already taught you everything you need to know this month. She was quite delighted to see that my requests helped in your training this much as well."
Malaka also wanted to curse Mia. Why would she not give her training when she was finally willing to take it?
Roan ignored Malaka"s struggle and began to list the materials.
"Alright. I need you to get me..."
That same day, two girls left the sect on the back of a black and white bird. It"s just that their expressions were quite a sight to behold...
