Meanwhile, Himmel Soan and Firey reached the center of the city. It was an arena, and they had arrived just in time. A battle was taking place at the moment. The cheers of the audience sounded from afar.
It seemed to be an important event because the area around the arena was packed.
“That looks so interesting!” Firey rubbed her hands eagerly.
Himmel Soan tapped her on the head. They didn’t know what was going on, yet Firey already wanted to get involved. She would get herself in trouble!
He knew if he didn’t remind her, she would jump into the arena the next moment. Luckily, he stopped her in time. Firey looked like a deflated balloon.
“You’re such a lovely girl!
“Do you find that interesting? Call me sister, and I’ll take you up there!” Just then, they heard a melodious voice.
The voice alone suggested how pretty the person was. The crowd immediately parted and made way for the woman.
“No, thanks. I need to obey my master,” said Firey, holding Himmel Soan’s hand.

Even with that facial expression, she still looked graceful. No matter how she contorted her face, she would always seem so natural.
She spotted the lovely girl in the crowd and walked toward her, even thinking about adopting her.
What Firey said took her by surprise. Only then did Soochin look at the man next to the girl.
She never thought much of any man. As a result, she hadn’t noticed Himmel Soan until now.
Finally, she gazed at him.
“What’s your relationship with the girl?” Soochin asked indifferently.
She realized that the man and the girl looked quite alike as if they came out of the same mold. The discovery confused her.
“I’m a father figure to her. She’s been with me since she was born,” Himmel Soan said quietly.
He wasn’t affected by Soochin’s tone at all.
“A father figure? Are you her foster father? Why does she call you master?”
It was puzzling to Soochin. The man and the girl looked so alike that she would believe him if he said he was her father. To her bewilderment, the girl didn’t address the man as such.
If the man hadn’t said those words, Soochin might accept that the man was the girl’s master.
“She likes calling me her master, so I let her. It’s just a way she addresses me. Technically, I guess I’m kind of her master.”
Soochin said coldly, “If you’re her father, she shouldn’t call you her master. You might have good looks, but you’re an animal deep down!”
She switched to a gentle voice when she turned to Firey. “Sweetheart, tell me. Who’s this man? Has he done something bad to you? If you don’t like him, I can make him disappear!”
The other people around them also found Himmel Soan suspicious. The term “master” was so misleading. Many of them started talking among themselves.
Even if Himmel Soan hadn’t been here, Soochin alone would attract much attention. After all, she was Emperor Baih’s pupil, who was one of the eight emperors.
Soochin might succeed the throne and become the next Emperor Baih. Her status earned her a lot of respect. She was here to hold the battle taking place in this arena.
“I knew they weren’t father and daughter, but you insisted they were brother and sister. They aren’t siblings either! Didn’t you hear him? He’s just a foster father!”

“Even if that’s the case, he’s such an irresponsible father. Why would he let his daughter call him master? Is he that kind of a person?”
“He looks so civilized. How can he be such an animal?”
“But that girl called him master just then! Everybody heard her! We can’t all be dreaming!”
“Yes! I agree! With Lady Soochin here. The girl won’t be abused by this animal anymore!”
Most people took Soochin’s side. Some remained silent and never spoke.
Himmel Soan looked like an innocent young man, and they didn’t believe he could do such terrible things.
Firey heard every word. She trembled with rage, but she tried to control herself. This was the first time she understood what fury was.
If Himmel Soan hadn’t been here, she would have lost her temper.
She finally calmed down enough to speak, “I won’t allow you to disrespect my master! He’s my master, and he doesn’t need your definition!
“If anyone insults my master again, they’re dead!”
She was trying her best to keep her temper at bay. She had to clench her fists to finish her speech. While speaking, she almost thought she would punch those people in the face.
Soochin frowned. “Honey, is he threatening you?”
