"So, that's the sect? The entire mountain range with such beautiful sakura trees of all sizes, those wooden structures, bridges, water bodies… Damn, It looks aweso," Arkhen said in awe as he saw the flying ship approaching a majestic but also beautiful mountain range.
"Yep. The jungle in the west and eighty kiloters area around the mountain range also belong to the sect. That tall shadow of a tower far away is another organization, called Dark Shadow Tower. But, we don't have a good relationship with them," Lady Rong said.
"I see."
Soon as they neared the Cherry Blossom Mountain sect, Arkhen saw a few flying ships and exquisite wooden buildings, both big and small, spreading everywhere on the mountain range.
There were also nodes of small rivers spreading in the mountains and several arch bridges.
Lady Rong controlled the flying ship and stopped at the central peak, outside of a giant palace that was five hundred ters tall and looked extrely exquisite and elegant.
It was made of red and brown wood with many traditional and classic-looking decorations and designs carved on it.
People were moving to and fro out of the palace. Many recognized Lady Rong as she and Arkhen got off the ship and greeted her while passing by.
Arkhen had asked things about ya and Gereld on the way and knew they were personal disciples of Lady Rong, who was a vice-peak master of Illusion Flower Mountain Peak.
One thing Arkhen had confird was that the true identity of Lady Rong was a secret. He knew through Velshi that Lady Rong was actually a powerhouse of the 4th realm. As in, her real body.
The one here was just a clone, an avatar of hers. But, Arkhen speculated that this was a secret of hers.
Arkhen didn't know why such a strong powerhouse bothered to put an avatar here in the 1st realm. He was curious but didn't want an imdiate answer as he didn't want to tell her that he knew about her true background.
"For now, follow this bird. It will take you to ya and Gereld's place. They are on Illusion Flower mountain peak. anwhile, I am going into the palace to arrange your entry into the sect," Lady Rong said as she waved her hand, causing a small sparrow bird to appear.
"Alright. Thank you for the trouble," Arkhen said with a smile and nodded before he started following the bird on his force field.
…
Arkhen saw many people, young and old, on the way. When he entered the Illusion Flower mountain after crossing a long bridge, the guards stopped him. But after noticing the bird, they quickly let him go.
As he walked on the wide stone stairs going upward while seeing various exquisite structures on the mountain, Arkhen soon heard a commotion.
"Stop following !!"
'It's ya's voice!' Arkhen exclaid and felt an unknown feeling in his heart. This little brat ya had really made a place in his heart. He missed her naughty antics and cheerful personality.
Arkhen followed the voice as he arrived on open ground at the large wide mountain section. There was a fountain in the middle with various trees and benches at the corners along with food stalls, stores, and a large wooden palace.
Soon, Arkhen saw ya's back as he recognized her long black hair and her petite figure. Her current hairstyle was a long ponytail, and she had worn a traditional dress with long sleeves and an additional faint layer of net-like cloth with a design over her dress.
"Co on, ya! Just one hour. We can drink so coffee or eat so food," said a handso man with short red hair. He had a cheeky grin on his face as he faced ya. His na was Refal.
'This bastard…' ya cursed in her mind. 'Just because he is peak master's disciple, he can pester like that? Arghhh! I am going to leave if master Rong doesn't fix this problem.'
"I said, no! Don't you have anything else to do?! Stop pestering !" ya said while fuming as she stomped her feet.
"You are cute even when you are angry, hehe."
"You!"
Suddenly, Refal saw a tall man approaching ya from behind. ya also saw Refel's gaze moving away from her and directed a bit to the side, behind her.
Arkhen walked towards ya and lightly patted ya's right shoulder before pointing his finger at her shoulder such that when she turned her head, his finger pressed into her soft cheeks. But shortly, she exclaid happily, "Brother Arkhen!"
ya scread as her heart started beating wildly, and her face turned red. She jumped and hugged Arkhen tightly as tears started dropping from her eyes. "I-I missed you so much!"
"Hahaha, too! But now I am here. You didn't expect this, right?"
"Mhmm," ya nodded as she felt so happy that she was on cloud nine. A strange comfort spread throughout her body in Arkhen's presence and embrace.
'Brother Arkhen? Does she have another brother?' Refal thought. His eyes were filled with envy as he saw ya tightly hugging Arkhen. 'I want her… Damn. Alright, I should tell my master to propose my marriage to her. It's ti for that.'
Arkhen and ya separated and stood side by side as ya side-hugged Arkhen with her arms wrapping around Arkhen's waist.
"Refal, you see him? He is my fiancé, humph. So, stop pestering ," ya said with a snort.
Arkhen looked at the Refal guy and slightly narrowed his eyes. 'This little shit wants ya?'
"Haha, who are you fooling? You just called him brother Arkhen. Anyway, It's fine. You can catch up with your brother. I'll co later," Refal said with a laugh and left as he descended the mountain after unfurling his energy wings.
"Wait, No!" ya stomped her feet. "Damn! Such an idiot," ya cursed and said, "I should have kissed you in front of him."
"Did he really annoy you that much?" Arkhen asked with a wry smile.
"Every single day for the last fifteen days! He broke up with his girlfriend after seeing ! What a trash!" ya said with disgust. "But he is peak master's disciple and a 6th-class powerhouse. So, he got both the background and sufficient individual power."
"Well, I am here now. So, don't worry," Arkhen said with a grin.
"But how did you co here? Which peak are you going to join?" ya curiously asked as she held Arkhen's hand and took him to sit on a bench below a dium-sized sakura tree.
Arkhen told her everything like how he t Lady Rong and the things that happened afterward.
"So, sister Azela is gone too… when will she co out from that mysterious place? They are slumbering there, right? You said it before," ya asked.
"Don't know the exact ti, but I want to let all of them out as soon as possible," Arkhen said with a wry smile. He then proceeded to tell her about the slumbering and Awakening in a rough manner, just enough to let her get a general idea of that.
"So that's how it is… But I don't want to slumber. I want to stay with you," ya said with a pout.
"I'll comnce your awakening after everyone is done so that you won't need to slumber and wait for your turn."
"Good. Then let's start working towards it. Tell what I need to do to help you," ya said with a grin as she squeezed herself toward Arkhen.
[My lord. I told you that your won can help you gather reality essence in Mystic Wonderland. Since ya is also a mber and is powerful enough to start working, I'll tell you].
'Oh? Quick, tell .'
