Chapter 839 - Our Moments
Rean talked with Malo, Fizer, Poliana, and the others for a while longer before finally deciding to leave. However, he informed Malo about another thing before that, telling him, "Oh, right! There's no need to call the World Swallowing Cedar by Gola anymore. You can just use its real name, Celis." Without explaining anything after that, he left everything for Malo and the others to decide. Soon after, he went to see Kentucky, who was having fun in the sect. "Shouldn't you be using your nest?"
"I wanted to, but Celis and the other Divine Demon Beasts are still in a heated discussion back there. It seems like Celis had a lot of things to talk about, even though he pretended he didn't want to," Kentucky said in response while a few girls of the sect stroke his feathers. It didn't look like he was sad because of that at all.
Rean then warned Kentucky. "Alright, once Celis is finished talking, make sure to go there. We finally have some time to cultivate, so don't waste it. After all, we only have one year until we head to the Bestial Sacred Ground."
Rean returned to the building with the Totem later and could tell that Roan was already there cultivating. He took that opportunity to ask through their Soul Connection, 'When are we resuming the classes for the sect members?'
Roan opened his eyes as he answered, 'Let's wait until we move to the Wringan Continent first. The sect members will be quite busy for the next week or so, preparing everything to be moved. I don't want to use the Dimensional Realm to move everything so that they can become used to not relying on it anymore.'
Rean agreed with Roan on that point. 'That's good, then. By the way, Fizer decided to stay in the sect, just like we planned.'
'He wouldn't let this chance pass up, after all. With the amount of time the humans will have in the Wringan Continent, the Freedom Sect definitely has the capability of becoming the strongest power there,' Roan answered. 'Besides, we don't know what will happen in the Bestial Sacred Ground, so we needed someone strong enough to protect the sect while we're gone.'
Rean shrugged his shoulders as he replied, 'Well, the truth is that even if we weren't gone, we would still have a hard time protecting it. Don't forget that the human race still has some Soul Transformation and even Saint Realm experts. Soul Transformation Realm might be one thing, but I doubt we would be able to hold our own against Saint Realm experts. With the number of talents in the Freedom Sect, it's bound to be targeted by other human experts sooner or later.'
Roan nodded, knowing that Rean was right. The two then ended their conversation there and started to cultivate.
A few hours later, Phex passed by just to tell them that they were leaving. They offered Celis to come with them, but Celis had refused the offer, saying that Kentucky can't be separated from the twins, and he can't be separated from Kentucky. Phex, as a Phoenix, knew very well what it meant for a Divine Demon Bird to have a nest on a Divine Demon Tree, so he didn't insist. At the very least, it seemed that they somehow reconciled with Celis, so Phex's group was satisfied.
As time passed, Malaka and Agis eventually arrived after a few days. Only then did Roan find out that they knew about his army but decided to stay far away. The excuse they used was that they didn't want to rely on Roan's strength as a commander to win their battles. Roan, of course, could tell that they were lying. Those two were simply afraid of what he would arrange for them to do. Nonetheless, it was a fact that they did improve a lot in the meantime. He decided to let it pass after seeing their improvement.
Still, there was one thing that bothered him. In fact, it wasn't only him. Rean, Calina, and Qia also found it intriguing. "How come you two were together? Didn't you guys separate when the war broke out?"
Agis then glanced at Malaka, who looked outside, pretending she didn't hear anything. "It's such a nice day today, isn't it?"
*Pah!*
*Ouch!*
Surprisingly, it wasn't Roan who hit the happy-go-lucky girl's backhead. It was Agis instead. "Nice day, your head! You were the one who insisted on sticking to me, so don't drag me down now."
Malaka rubbed the back of her head while showing a wronged expression, saying, "But you were the only one who could use Rean's Spiritual Sense bending skill. It was simply safer to stay close to you."
"That was the whole idea of us getting separated! We were doing that because we wanted more challenges! Now, look at Rean and the others. They're having the wrong idea about us," Agis could not help but say with a dark expression.
Malaka felt quite angry after hearing that. She then quickly grabbed Agis's arm before saying, "The wrong idea? How can you say that? After everything we've gone through together, we even, even..."
Rean quickly shook his head after hearing that, saying, "It seems like Agis had quite a hard time himself."
Roan, Calina, and Qia nodded in unison. "Indeed. I feel quite sorry for him."
In the end, no one believed Malaka's words at all, knowing that she was just trying to creating even more chaos...or so they thought at first. However, Agis's expression slightly became weird when she acted like that.
"Hmm~?" Rean got close to Agis and began to walk around him. "Well, well, well...? What's this I sense? How come you're not denying everything straight away?"
Qia and Calina were also surprised to see that. "Oh! Could it actually happen?" They also walked around those two, putting even more pressure on Agis.
Roan found it weird, though. "That doesn't make sense. I'm not the best at understanding other people's feelings, but I can't see how these two would become attracted to each other."
Rean, Qia, Agis, and Malaka immediately looked at Roan and Calina, thinking to themselves, 'Do you even have the right to say that?'
Eventually, Agis succumbed to all the eyes and said, "Fine! Hiding it is not something a man should be doing. We...did have our moments..."
