The next day. Andreo and Fiarra woke up and their Young Noble wasn't there. They searched the entire area but nothing was found. As their Young Noble was, he never left an imprint on the ground.
"Where do you think Young Noble gone off to?" Fiarra asked Andreo. Since the other party was familiar with Dragon Sky, he might know where Jin Rou went.
Unfortunately, Andreo shook his head and responded, "Hundred Dragons Plateau is a different thing. I never explored this since they sealed off this place."
Fiarra didn't ask more as she knew it would be pointless. She sat down and calmed herself. There was no need to worry about their Young Noble. After all, he was powerful. Only, he didn't leave a note or signal of what should they do.
"Let's wait for the Young Noble until sunset." Andreo suggested, "The Young Noble won't leave unless he has a reason to do so. Perhaps he's checking something and he didn’t want to put us in danger."
It sounded plausible. Fiarra nodded, "All right. Let's wait for the Young Noble here for a while."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two prepared breakfast and lunches in case Jin Rou went back early. They wanted to serve him and be useful as much as possible.
The food came from the frozen goods of Andreo. Since he ran away, he learned to preserve beast meat in case he wanted to eat. Though cultivators like them didn't need to eat as their bodies were trained that way, there's nothing wrong in taking food especially if it's delicious. It was already a human system that couldn't be removed totally despite the improvements of the body.
"You are so good in cooking." Andreo couldn't help but praise the lady when he tasted the food she created, "You perfectly maintained the right fire and blended the seasonings well equally."
He was truly amazed. As someone who just ate food when he wished it, his food usually tasted below average since he couldn't cook and he had no talents for it.
But it was different for the princess. He could immediately tell that Fiarra had a knack for cooking. Unfortunately, her path was not destined to be a chef.
"I often use my free time in learning many things. But I think I'm adept the most in cooking and baking." Fiarra said confidently. She studied well and hard to learn techniques that could make the food tastier, "That's why I'm able to cook food like this, though it's only passable in Young Noble's palate."
"Still, it's a passing remark." Andreo consoled her, "Young Noble has tasted so many delicacies already and perhaps top chefs used to serve him, so that might be the reason why your food is just passable. In any case, you still have room for improvements."
"Thank you for your praise." Fiarra spoke humbly but empty. For her, the praise that mattered was only from the Young Noble.
When silence was already surrounding them, Fiarra decided to talk, "I heard that Immortal Dynasty's progenitor is part of Godlister?"
It just passed as a mere rumor, and Immortal Dynasty had never confirmed it.
No one knew how strong Immortal Dynasty's progenitor, Immortal Dynasty, was. After all, he remained lowkey and reclusive most of the times. In fact, only a very few had seen him in the past.
Andreo didn't expect this question from Fiarra. It was a deep and personal topic for their sect and he didn't know what to answer.
Fiarra realized that it might be a too personal question and smiled it away, "Don't mind about it. I'm just curious and all. You don't have to answer it."
"It's okay. It's not that I don't want to answer it, but I don't think I can give you a satisfactory answer." Andreo smiled wryly, "Immortal Dynasty is a powerful lineage, but the skirmishes and aiming for one's throats is very common inside."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBeing a lineage that produced four era emperors, the branches in Immortal Dynasty were always against each other, plotting against to take the benefits for themselves. It's not uncommon for this lineage to face this problem.
In fact, even Thousand Elf Kingdom's Serafinio family had many enemy families that wanted to usurp the position from them.
"When power infested one's mind, insatiable greed will soon take over one's emotions." Fiarra had witnessed it firsthand and said, "Greed is a powerful tool to get what you wanted. But it's also an edged sword pointing towards you."
So many people have gone insane because of greed. Because of power it connected with. Killing others because you wanted to take what they have was fueled by greed in its extremities.
"Well, even low ranked sects experience the same. No one will ever not experience the manifestation of greed." Andreo shook his head, "It's just a matter of how you control it and how you overcome it."
Soon, they eat the food and left some for the Young Noble. Since the food created by Fiarra was tasty, Andreo couldn't help but try to devour everything. After all, the ingredients were his in the first place so there's nothing wrong in eating it all. Moreover, the Young Noble might not want it even. So, it would just go to waste.
Nevertheless, Fiarra was firm to leave some food for the Young Noble and she was prepared to fight Andreo if he pushed the matter through.
With no choice, Andreo didn't bother trying to get his hands on the food and meditated. He ate too many that it might affect the circulation of the qi inside his body.
The sun was about to set, but the Young Noble was yet to appear. Apparently, the duo were increasingly getting worried. After all, he was missing for almost half a day now. They couldn't help but think that they might have been abandoned at this point.
But Fiarra shook this nauseous thought. Jin Rou would never ever try to abandon them, for sure. There must be a reason why he was still not here, to begin with. An important reason that only the Young Noble knew.
