Viola’s stern expression softened slightly as she felt the warmth of Jared’s hand, and she soon found
herself staring dreamily at him. Shortly after, they reached a forest where Faiyar came to a halt,
ceasing his attempt to escape.
Jared promptly followed suit upon noticing Faiyar’s pause. Why would Faiyar stop running all of a
sudden? There must be a trap or something nearby!
With a calm demeanor, Faiyar turned to Jared and delivered his ominous message. “Mark my words,
punk! I will avenge my subordinates!”
The flames on his body cascaded down like flowing water, shaping a scorching symbol ont the ground
surrounding him. After a brief pause, Jared exclaimed, “A Teleportation Array? You’re not escaping that
easily!”
With Dragonslayer Sword in hand, Jared leaped into the air and sent a light attack flying straight at
Faiyar. Right when the light was about to hit Faiyar, he vanished in a burst of radiant white light..

cautious one!” Jared muttered in frustration as he witnessed Faiyar’s successful escape.
“Let’s hurry up and head back, Mr. Chance. The huge commotion might attract a lot of unwanted
attention. We’d be in huge trouble if someone shows up and discovers Ms. Viola,” said Ghaylen.
“Very well, let’s head back,” Jared responded with a nod, and the trio made their way back to the
hidden cave. After assisting Viola in donning a disguise, the trio departed from the cave and made their
way back to Ghaylen’s base.
As Viola’s eyes welled up with tears, she witnessed Ghaylen’s once majestic and thriving base reduced
to ruins. Only a few disciples from Ghaylen’s generation remained, solemnly guarding the remnants of
their once glorious home.
However, she had to keep her emotions hidden. so that no one would grow suspicious of her identity.
Viola’s current identity was that of a new disciple that Ghaylen had taken in.
“Ms. Viola, Bilius has laid waste to most of the houses, leaving us with limited accommodation at the
moment. Regrettably, you’ll have to stay with Mr. Chance for now. To avoid raising suspicions, we’ve
disguised you as a male, and it would be best not to arrange a separate unit for you,” Ghaylen
explained.
Viola understood that Ghaylen was deliberately trying to give her and Jared a chance to spend more
time together.
“Sure thing,” she replied with a nod. Then, turning toward Jared, she asked, “Are you okay with us
sleeping together?” Jared nodded as well. “I’ll be spending the night cultivating, so it’s no problem at
all!”
“Very well, then. I’ll go prepare some herbs to help Mr. Chance recover his strength,” Ghaylen said
before heading out.
Jared settled into a cross-legged position on the floor, and with practiced precision, he began
performing intricate hand seals to aid his recovery. The medicinal pool would soon be activated, so he
would have to be at peak energy levels as soon as possible.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Viola stared silently at Jared, she found her heart racing again. She couldn’t help but reminisce
about the intense pursuit of Faiyar, with Jared firmly holding her hand.
“What kind of person are you?” Viola muttered under her breath. “Are you done staring at me? If so,
please get some rest,” Jared remarked suddenly, catching. Viola off guard and prompting her to step
back in surprise.
She had assumed that Jared wouldn’t notice her staring if he was focused on his cultivation, but he still
caught her anyway. Viola burned bright red as she climbed into bed and pulled the cover over her
head.
Jared opened his eyes, shot Viola a glance, and broke into a faint smile before going back into his
cultivation state.
Time continued to tick away as Jared remained in his cultivation state. In order to maintain her cover,
Viola remained indoors and kept Jared company.
Three days later, it was finally time for the medicinal pool to be activated. Hosen returned to the sect
after thinking long and hard for three days.
