Akane led Damian and Raika away from the Sword Trial Arena.
Behind them, many disciples watched the three leave together with stiff expressions, especially the male ones.
"How the hell did that kid end up walking away with both Senior Sisters? First Elder Selvara, now Raika and Akane too? Is his talent sword cultivation or stealing attention from won?"
The more they talked, the uglier their faces beca.
Damian naturally heard so of it, but he only smiled and pretended not to notice.
After all, jealousy from side characters was basically background music in a cultivation world.
Soon, Akane brought them to a quieter garden near the arena.
Only after confirming that no one was nearby did Raika turn toward Damian.
Her expression was calr than before. "During our fight, I could feel your emotions clearly."
Damian raised an eyebrow. "And?"
Raika looked straight into his eyes. "You have no malice toward the sect."
Damian blinked.
Then his mouth twitched. "Wait, so you’re telling you thought I was so kind of villain?"
Raika shook her head. "No. You suddenly appeared, beca Elder Selvara’s disciple, and had unusual strength. I was suspicious. Also... a little interested."
Damian sighed on the outside, but inwardly, he almost laughed.
"Actually, you’re the villainess here."
Of course, he did not say that out loud.
After all, Raika had a multiplier, and that ant she was probably a future villainess.
Fortunately, she was also a treasure chest, and treasure chests should be treated carefully, not scared away.
Akane suddenly looked at Damian with a playful smile. "Still, the first ti you saw us, you walked straight toward us."
Her amber eyes narrowed slightly. "Tell honestly. What did you want?"
Damian stopped walking.
Then, without hesitation, he grinned. "Do you really want the honest answer?"
Raika’s eyes narrowed. "Speak."
Damian looked at both of them and smiled shalessly. "I wanted to talk to two beautiful won. Is that so wrong?"
Akane blinked.
Raika’s eyebrow twitched.
Damian then reached into his storage ring and took out two jade slips. "Also, I wanted to give you both a gift."
The mont the jade slips appeared, both Raika and Akane’s expressions changed slightly.
Damian handed the lightning jade slip to Raika and the fla jade slip to Akane.
"This one is [Thunder Split Sword Art], Mid-Rank Noble Grade. It should suit you, Raika."
Then he turned to Akane. "And this one is [Burning Edge Sword Art], also Mid-Rank Noble Grade. Fla-elent sword art. Pretty perfect for you."
For a mont, both won were silent.
They were Heavenly Sword Sect geniuses, so they naturally had Noble Grade arts.
But being suddenly gifted Mid-Rank Noble Grade sword arts by soone they had just t?
That was still shocking.
Raika frowned. "Why are you giving us sothing this precious?"
Akane’s smile also beca more careful. "Damian, gifts like this usually co with a reason."
Damian only smiled. "Reason? Simple."
He looked at both of them with a calm, shaless grin. "I like giving gifts to beautiful won."
Raika’s eyebrow twitched.
Akane stared at him for a mont before letting out a soft laugh. "That answer is too vague."
Damian grinned wider. "Then let make it clearer."
He looked at Raika first, then at Akane. "Of course there is a reason. The reason is that I like both of you."
The garden instantly beca quiet.
Even the wind seed to pause for a second.
Raika froze.
Akane’s smile stiffened.
Damian continued as if he had not just dropped a bomb. "I like seeing your beautiful faces. I like talking to beautiful won. And if I see sothing that suits you, I want to give it. That’s my reason."
Raika frowned deeply. "That cannot be your real reason."
Akane also narrowed her amber eyes slightly. "Damian, are you serious?"
Damian shrugged. "Very serious."
Raika looked at the lightning jade slip in her hand, then back at him. "This is a Mid-Rank Noble Grade sword art."
Akane slowly raised the fla jade slip. "This is not sothing people give away just because they like soone’s face."
Damian sighed helplessly. "Why does everyone keep acting like liking beautiful won is not a valid motivation?"
Raika’s expression beca even stranger. "Because it is ridiculous."
Damian stood up slowly and dusted off his sleeves. "Whether you believe or not is up to you."
Then he pointed lazily toward Selvara’s mountain peak. "But if you really doubt , you can go ask my master. She knows enough about my past to understand that I have always been like this."
Akane blinked.
Raika’s eyes narrowed. "Elder Selvara knows?"
Damian smiled. "Unfortunately, yes."
For so reason, those words made both won even more dumbfounded.
If Elder Selvara knew and still accepted him as a disciple, then did that an Damian’s words were actually true?
Was he really the kind of person who gave precious things away just because he liked beautiful won?
That sounded insane.
No, it sounded completely impossible.
But looking at Damian’s relaxed expression, neither Raika nor Akane could tell whether he was lying.
Damian turned around and waved his hand. "Anyway, take them or don’t. That’s your choice."
He glanced back with a lazy smile. "See you later, beautiful Senior Sisters."
After saying that, Damian walked away without waiting for their answer.
Raika and Akane remained standing in the garden, both holding the jade slips in silence.
Only after Damian disappeared from sight did Akane slowly look down at the fla jade slip in her hand. "Is this... for real?"
Raika stared at the lightning jade slip, her brows still furrowed. "I don’t know."
Akane’s smile beca a little helpless. "Just what the hell is wrong with that Damian?"
Raika did not answer.
anwhile, on the path back to the Mission Hall, Damian’s calm expression finally broke.
A bright grin appeared on his face.
In front of him, a familiar system screen had already appeared, and surprisingly, it was a critical hit.
His grin beca even more shaless. "Damn... beautiful won really are the best treasure chests."
