Xuan Yue roused herself from her ditative state. She had been unable to calm her emotions after entering this ditation state in her turbulent mood last night. Her progress had been minimal, but her spiritual power had adjusted to its optimum state nonetheless.
Truthfully, she felt so regret after uttering those words last night. She thought to herself: Ah Dai is innocent and simple-minded. Her words might have been too heavy for him. Perhaps, he would be unable to bear the pressure and feel even more disheartened. If that were the case...
A bit impatient, Xuan Yue opened her eyes and turned to look at Ah Dai. The mont her gaze t his body, her whole body jolted, and disbelief filled her eyes.
Ah Dai was sitting quietly on a bed nearby. His powerful figure didn’t release any aura or any ray of fighting spirit, his black hair calmly draped over his shoulders, and his honest face was serene. Wrapped in his red magician robe, there was no sign of energy fluctuation, making him look as silent as death. Nonetheless, Xuan Yue felt sothing new from Ah Dai. Although no energy fluctuation was present, he sat there like a monuntal mountain that seed unshakable. What had happened to him? Xuan Yue’s heart was flooded with worry. She wanted to wake Ah Dai, whom she could no longer see through, but didn’t have the courage.
At this mont, the sound of light footsteps reached her ears, "Ah Dai, Xuan Re, it’s getting late. We need to get ready to set off. Are you both awake?"
Xuan Yue was slightly taken aback. Recognizing Yue Ji’s voice, she stood up from the bed and adjusted her robe of Light Magic. Then, after another deep look at Ah Dai, who was still in his cultivation state, she moved forward and opened the door.
Yue Ji shot Xuan Yue an annoyed glance and said, "What took you so long to wake up? Don’t you know how important today is? Where’s Ah Dai? Is he not awake yet?"
Xuan Yue nodded and whispered, "Sister Yue Ji, please lower your voice. Ah Dai is still in a ditative state of cultivation and cannot be disturbed. Are we leaving now?"
Yue Ji frowned and said, "Yes! As defenders of Varo City, we naturally have to get to the city outskirts first and await the arrival of our opponents. This way we can seize the initiative. Ah Dai is still cultivating! But we have to leave now. What should we do?" She knew that one shouldn’t be disturbed while cultivating their True Qi, but this ti was different. It concerned the future of the whole Moon Scar rcenary group! Ah Dai and Xuan Yue were their hope. Although she was reluctant to admit it, Yue Ji was well aware of the fear in her heart about the final duel.
Xuan Yue pondered and then said, "Let try. I’ll see if I can wake him from the cultivation state." As she was about to turn around and go back to the room, a cold voice suddenly sounded, "No need. I’m awake." Xuan Yue was startled. She hadn’t sensed any change in the room, but the voice was clearly Ah Dai’s. Surprised, she turned her head and found Ah Dai standing five steps behind her, his face as calm as a sculpture. Seeing Ah Dai’s unilluminated eyes, Xuan Yue couldn’t help but feel worried and subconsciously asked, "Big brother, are you alright?"
Ah Dai slightly shook his head and said, "I’m fine. Sister Yue Ji, let’s get ready to leave. Oh, could you help find a black cloak? A plain one, no decorations. I think, this fire magic robe doesn’t suit ."
Looking at Ah Dai’s calm face, Yue Ji suddenly felt a sense of unease. The young man in front of her, who was even younger than herself, seed to be a different Ah Dai from who she knew. She nodded and said, "Alright, wait here, I’ll be back soon." After speaking, she turned and left.
Ah Dai kept his eyes downcast, standing still. His long hands rested on his thighs, as he stood there like a lifeless statue. Xuan Yue approached him, looking at the man she loved, who was a half a head taller than herself, she trembled slightly, "Big brother, what’s wrong with you? Last night, I..."
Ah Dai raised his hand to touch Xuan Yue’s lips. His movent was so graceful that it seed as natural as if it was ant to be. Xuan Yue shuddered; she could clearly feel the chilling coldness from Ah Dai’s palm as cold as solid ice.
"Brother, you don’t have to say anything. I’ve thought it through. Don’t worry. I won’t let you down today."
The temperature of Ah Dai’s voice was as cold as his palm, devoid of any emotion. His inner restraint made Xuan Yue feel suffocated. At this mont, Xuan Yue clearly felt that Ah Dai’s cultivation was far beyond her own. She couldn’t see through what realm he had reached. An obvious change had occurred in Ah Dai’s power, and it seed to be the imposing aura she spoke of the previous day — a restrained imposing aura. But was this what she really hoped for?
