Chapter 496: Chapter 335 Volu Chapter 496: Chapter 335 Volu When he left Copper Rose Street, it was already sunset.
The bare landscape trees by the roadside, the white snow on the eaves of buildings, and the orange-red sunset on the distant horizon together created a uniquely cold atmosphere of winter.
Under the dim sky, exhaled breaths appeared hazy.
The broad street was chilly and deserted, with few pedestrians, as it was now ti to return ho.
A gust of cold wind carrying the scent of food made Colin unconsciously smack his lips.
A warm fireplace, a delicious dinner, a warm and relaxing bath… all these comforts awaited him at ho.
But he took a deep breath and turned towards the True Knowledge Society Castle instead.
It was because every ti he thought of Shelley, that wealthy lady who was probably still in the laboratory at this mont, he no longer felt any laxity in his spirit, only a desire to keep striving.
To rank among the best, one must strive!
However, when he removed his disguise and reverted to his usual appearance, returning to True Knowledge Society headquarters outside the gate,
he discovered a striking witch waiting by the door, who, upon seeing him, brightened up and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
“Good evening, Sir Colin!” the witch greeted cheerfully, her tone sowhat lancholic, “At last, I see you again. I visited your ho several tis but never saw you, and the maids always said you were busy…”
She raised an eyebrow at Colin and continued with a sense of grievance, “Sir, you truly are a busy man.”
“Indeed, I am,” Colin took a subtle half step back, and responded imperceptibly.
His bluntness caught the witch off guard.
Colin smiled perfunctorily and asked, “Good evening, Lady Yulaya. What do you need from ?”
Yulaya was the witch dispatched by the Hidosh Family to congratulate him when he had officially received the Golden Feather Token.
He rembered that a week or a few days later, this witch had visited again, expressing her desire to learn so knowledge about witchcraft.
But since receiving the Golden Feather Token, Colin had been mostly spending his days in the True Knowledge Society laboratory, so naturally Yulaya had not managed to see him.
It was only when he returned ho late at night that he learned about it from Renee.
After that, Yulaya had co to visit Colin a few more tis, but obviously, he was not at ho, and even if there were invitations, he had instructed Renee to manage by saying he was too busy.
Actually, aside from Yulaya, there were several other Pureblood Family witches who visited him, but they all ended up the sa way as Yulaya.
Colin had never really concerned himself with this since ti, such an invaluable commodity, obviously needed to be applied where it was most needed.
These witches from Yulaya and others were rely trying to persuade him to join the Pureblood Family.
But he had already made his decision, and he was not inclined to change it easily.
Hesitancy and indecision only weakened one’s courage!
But he hadn’t expected that this ti Yulaya would co looking for him at the True Knowledge Society Castle.
Moreover, coincidentally, he had left the True Knowledge Society at noon to go to Copper Rose Street… he didn’t know how long Yulaya had been waiting here.
Yulaya caught on and managed a flirtatious roll of her eyes, continuing sweetly, “Can’t I see you, this busy person, if there’s nothing important?”
“If there really is nothing, then indeed so,” he replied.
Yulaya’s expression faltered again, her smile freezing as she involuntarily began to doubt her own charm.
But indeed, as a witch chosen by the Hidosh Family to interact with Colin, a Golden Feather prodigy, she was first-rate in appearance.
Especially her curvy figure, which not even the loose Wizard Robes could entirely conceal.
However, Colin was not one to consider appearances; moreover, for a wizard, acquiring a good appearance was all too easy.
Besides, although Yulaya was beautiful, there was still a significant gap between her and the ethereal beauty of seniors like Lillian and Shelley.
“Lady Yulaya, if there isn’t sothing you need from , I must be going, I have so urgent matters to attend to,” Colin said politely, preparing to leave.
The custom witchcraft commission he had just accepted today still hadn’t been thoroughly reviewed, and he did not have free ti to indulge in empty pleasantries with a witch from the Hidosh Family.
“Wait!” Yulaya stopped him, “This ti I ca to invite you to a dance.”
“A dance?” Colin paused, “Sorry, I cannot dance and I do not enjoy socializing.”
“A dance does not necessarily require dancing, and with your capabilities, such simple dances can be learned at a glance,” Yulaya moved closer,
“Dancing is just a formality, the essence is networking. This dance’s threshold is very high, attended by powerful wizards, even including Second Rank seniors…”
“Sorry,” Colin shook his head, interrupting her.
Yulaya gave him a serious look, paused for a mont, and continued, “Sir Colin, as long as we live, we always need to network. eting other wizards is only beneficial for you, not harmful.”
Colin still shook his head.
Yulaya’s words seed rational, but she was from the Hidosh Family, and her motives were not as pure as she stated.
Even if he wanted to network and expand his connections, it would not be in this manner led by others.
Moreover, many tis he did not need to spend ti on socializing.
Great warriors walk alone, and he had that confidence!
Yulaya watched Colin shaking his head, paused again, and spoke sowhat imploringly, “I’ve co to visit you several tis recently only to return empty-handed; could you tell when you will be resting at ho during the day?”
