Chapter 337: Song Yu and Putri
337 Song Yu and Putri
Alex and Anna flew back to the sect, leaving his spirits behind in the Nemu Forest. And since Anya would lead them, they should be fine.
He came back to the sect. But when he arrived at the ninth peak, Charya came out together with Evelyn.
"Elder Charya?" Alex was obviously confused since he never expected her to come. No, in fact, she never came like this. Alex felt something was wrong by watching her come out with Evelyn.
"…" Charya came to him but hesitated to talk. She did not know how to say this to Alex. She sighed. "Well, Song Yu and Putri had left the sect a week ago."
"???" Alex furrowed his eyebrows as he could not understand why she said that. After all, he thought it was normal for them to go out since he also just came back from the outside. But he immediately understood why she said that.
"Putri had left for her own journey to get stronger. She said she wanted to get stronger without your help because if she kept relying on you, she would just hinder your progress. She realized it since you took a considerable amount of time when you taught her."
"…" Alex was dumbfounded when he heard that. He never expected her to take it like that. "Where does she go?"
Charya shook her head. "I do not know. She wanted me to say this to you, "Thank you for taking care of me. I will keep getting stronger so I can proudly say I am your disciple in the future." That"s all, and she left. Well, although I missed them, I didn"t want to stop them. After all, it is their life and your journey. As their master, I will wait for them here."
"…" Alex"s body shook a little bit. He sighed, "Haiz… how about Senior Sister Song Yu?"
"Song Yu? She said she wanted to change her fate so she needed to come back to the Northern Continent. Well, she also left this to you." Charya said as she took out a s.p.a.ce ring and gave it to Alex.
Alex received the s.p.a.ce ring and inspected the s.p.a.ce ring. There were a thousand sets of ingredients of Crystal Skin Pill inside the ring along with a letter. Alex took out the letter and read it.
"This is my present for you, a thousand sets of ingredients since I don"t know how many times you will ask me to buy. But don"t worry, the rest of the ingredients are on me. Considering your talent and cultivation speed, you should be able to get into Martial King in one to three years.
"I also could not let you beat me just like that. I am going to train again in my family as well as changing my fate. So, by the time you reach the Northern Continent, I can personally welcome you."
"…" Alex was astonished to see something like this. He earnestly helped them, but it seemed to be a pressure on their side. They thought they could not keep up with him and took everything he gave for granted.
They did not want anything like that, so they embarked on their own journey. Alex"s heart was obviously moved by their incentive.
Alex looked at Charya as she would be the one who got hit the most by this. "I am sure they are fine. I mean, they are strong women."
"Of course, I know that. I am the one who taught them after all." Charya said smugly. But there was still a trace of loneliness in her tone.
Alex then looked at Anna, "Please go back first."
Anna nodded and left them alone.
"Still… with those two left this place, this peak becomes a little bit lonely." She said while looking at the blue sky, reminiscing the time they were together.
"Should we drink?" Alex asked. He remembered that he still had his wine, and he should be able to drink it again.
"Sure. I love to. But there is one more thing that I need to tell you about one of the problems we currently face…" Charya said with a little pause in the end. She was a bit hesitant in telling this to Alex.
"What is it?"
"Well, it"s just since there is no Eric or that Intan again… we only have Florinda to compete for the grand tournament. Although they were hateful, their abilities were top notch. And since we have lost them, we need another expert to compete for the winner.
"Our disciples are experts, but no matter how strong they are, I am a bit unsure whether they could compete with the disciples from the other sects and kingdoms," Charya said, a bit embarra.s.sed.
Alex then looked at Evelyn. "How about her?"
"Her…" Charya did not know what to say. After all, she was a princess of Thiveapia Kingdom. And her strength was also a bit low for her to compete.
"If we don"t have an expert, then we can train her. But it depends on the expert itself…" Alex said while looking at Evelyn. He tried to give a solution for them since he was the one who killed Eric and Intan. He thought Putri was able to compete for it, but she had left the sect.
Alex did not know when they would meet again. So, the only option for this was Evelyn. After all, Alex had taught her for a few months and was familiar with her. Her ability was top-notch, and Alex thought she would have a fair chance to win the tournament. There was only one problem left.
Evelyn knew what he meant. Alex wanted to train her once again to be eligible to take part in the tournament. But the problem was whether she would represent her kingdom or Heavenly Sword Sect.
"I will represent the sect in this tournament." Suddenly, Evelyn gave them an answer with a serious expression.
Both of them were startled. They thought Evelyn would need a bit more time to think about it but to think she gave them an answer just like that. But judging from her expression, they felt she was honest in this.
"My family will never expect me to represent them in this tournament. Even though I have been reporting my progress to them, I am still too far to reach the qualification to join. Besides, I have not paid for everything you have done for me. So, I think this is the best time to do it. Well, I need to rely on big brother Alex for a while so I can repay you… it is pretty weird." Evelyn said with a smile.
Charya then glanced at Alex. Alex gave her a nod, "Alright. I will try to train her. Well, I am also planning to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament too. But how can I join the tournament?"
"I don"t know. The sects and kingdoms were discussing it, and we will know about it in a few months." Charya said.
Alex nodded.
"Oh, that"s right. I want to ask you about this." Alex took out the half-box that Mithra gave him. He was planning to ask Song Yu, but she had left the sect, so he could only ask Charya about this.
Charya looked at the green half-box in Alex"s hand. Although the box did not have any ornament inside, there was a certain trace of arrays on the box. Alex could not read what the array wanted since the box in his hand only contained a few symbols.
Even with his new knowledge about Array, he still could not perceive it. If Alex had the other box, he certainly could understand what this box was for.
"Ah!" But before Charya answered him, Evelyn suddenly startled them.
Alex and Charya immediately looked at Evelyn, confused why she was surprised.
"I have seen that box. My family wants me to come back to see them, so they sent a messenger one month ago. The messenger also told me there would be an auction, and he gave me the list of the items. I remember I saw a box that looked like this on the list."
"Really?" Alex was surprised.
"Yes. I am sure about it." Evelyn nodded her head.
"When is the auction, and where?"
"He told me two months… so, it should be a month from now. And the place is the capital city of Thiveapia Kingdom, Plabele. If you want to partic.i.p.ate in the auction, I can ask help from my family to get the ticket for you. After all, you need a certain amount of Spirit Stones before you can get the ticket." She said.
"Only Spirit Stones?" Alex asked.
Evelyn nodded her head.
"Then, there should be no problem. How much do I need?"
"You can enter with a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and these people usually came from middle cla.s.s or below families. And if you have more than a million Spirit Stones, you can get a VIP ticket. There is a VVIP Ticket, but usually, most of these people represent the entire sects or kingdoms, or you can get the ticket with ten million Spirit Stones. Of course, you don"t need to buy it, it is only for guarantee."
"Don"t mind about the Spirit Stones. I can afford them." Alex nodded.
"If big brother Alex wants to go to the auction, I can be your guide," Evelyn said.
"…" Alex did not immediately agree to her. It was true that bringing her should not be a problem. But he was wondering if she was a problem magnet.
Alex did not know whether to agree or not. But having her as his guide, he could familiarize himself with the Thiveapia Kingdom faster since he had yet to plant a spy in the Thiveapia Kingdom.
He was also wondering whether he should have a normal ticket or a VVIP ticket. After all, he still had around twenty million Spirit Stones. Of course, there were Spirit gems mixed in them, and he thought the people in this continent would not know something like Spirit Gems, which was equal to a thousand Spirit Stones.
But he got a present from Song Yu, a thousand sets of Crystal Skin Pills ingredients. He could get a profit of 38,000 Spirit Stones for each set. And with those thousand sets, he would get 38 million Spirit Stones.
(AN: Each set of ingredients costs two thousand Spirit Stones. I forget which chapter.)
With that money, he would be able to afford the VVIP. But he did not know whether he should buy it or not.
With a normal ticket, Alex would be able to hide his presence and did not get any exposure. But he also did not know the price for the box. If he bought it more than a million or even ten million, the people would suspect him.
Or he might even incite their greed. But if Alex got the VVIP ticket, it should not be a problem by buying something more than a million. And with Evelyn as his guide, the people would think twice as they needed to guess from where he came from first.
As long as Evelyn did not say anything, they should not make a problem for him. Judging from the pros and cons, he thought bringing Evelyn and getting the VVIP ticket would benefit him the most. All that left was for him to put his mask on so they could not feel his cultivation.
Of course, with that much money, they should think twice before making their move, especially to someone as mysterious as him. With that, he decided to bring Evelyn along with him.
"Well, I will take up your offer. How many days we need to arrive at the Thiveapia Kingdom?"
"Five days," Evelyn said.
"Good. I am going to train you hard these three weeks before going to your kingdom, so prepare yourself." Alex said.
When she heard that, her body became tense. Even though she knew she would have Alex"s training, she instinctively became tense. It was like her natural reaction to Alex"s training.
