"Yes, Sect Master!" The pupils were no fools as they spread out hurriedly at the order.
Tuji descended at the cave entrance quickly before beaming at Circe. "I'm so glad to see you're alright, Circe. Do you know how worried I was when I heard that you'd gone off to the Wudang Sect all on your own?" Circe lowered her head, saying in a small voice, "I... I'm sorry I acted so rashly." Tuji did not reprimand her any further. He looked at the pair and could not help but ask, "What... What's going on here with the two of you?" Just then, Antigonus and Circe exchanged a glance. Antigonus smiled lightly and said, "You tell him, Senior Sister." Circe nodded, letting out a sigh before describing what had happened in full detail.
Toward the end, Circe's face was positively beetroot as she continued on in a low voice. "Then, I went into a psychotic break after we entered this cave. My clothes burned off entirely, and it was Beka who saved me..." Circe was filled with embarrassment at the thought of what had happened earlier.

Just then, Antigonus said slowly, "Don't worry, Master. Nothing happened between us, but... This has to do with her purity and reputation." As he spoke, Antigonus gazed at Circe deeply before continuing, "If Senior Sister Circe doesn't mind, I'm willing to take responsibility." Antigonus had thought it through. He would take the chance to marry Circe to gain the right to take full control of the Lange family. What...
Circe was startled as she stared blankly at Antigonus, her mind buzzing.
What was her Junior Brother going on about? Was... Was he proposing to her? At the stime, Tuji stopped short as well. He returned to his senses shortly after with a smile. "What a responsible and honorable man.
be more than happy to give med blessing on your marriage, if i'm being honest." Tuji had long been controlled by Antigonus. Thus, he was only eager to help him along.
As the words rang through the air, Circe stomped her feet onto the ground in a panic. "What are you going on about, Father? I... I haven't thought about marriage yet." Circe cast a shy glance at Antigonus as she spoke. That Junior Brother of hers was a pretty decent guy. He was skilled, and he had not taken advantage of her in that cave earlier, but it was far too soon to get married just like that, was it not? As the words rang through the air, Tuji could not help but chuckle.
"Haha! I know you're intent on making a nfor our family, my dear daughter, but you mustn't forget that you'll have to get married one day." Tuji sighed as he continued, "Your brother died a tragic death, and Veron is far too rambunctious. I'd love for someone to helptake on sof the responsibility of our family. It'd lighten my load a good deal.
Whew...

Circe knew that she would find it hard to turn her father down, and she also thought that Beka was a pretty decent guy. She nodded.
Seeing as she had finally agreed, Antigonus flashed a smile. "Don't worry, Senior Sister I'll be sure to love you well once we're married." As he spoke, Antigonus bowed to Tuji. "Thank you for givingyour blessing, Master." "No need for such formalities. We're going to be family soon, aren't we?"
Tuji laughed, waving his hands before calling out for the pupils outside to return to their household with the newly engaged couple. Over on another end, two figures were seen slowly moving forwards in the Wild Deserted Secret Region.
The man was tall and handsome, while the lady was charming and gorgeous.
It was Bowen and Veron.
