“Wait. Do you mean you think it’s impossible that I could have been the one all along?” her auntie asked, her face streaked with tears.“I can’t believe I gave everything to raising you, only for you to start treating me like I’m your enemy. How is that fair?” Her voice cracked as another sob escaped her. “If I had taken all the time I wasted on you and your sister and used it to improve my position in the sect, I would be somewhere very high by now.”She covered her face and sobbed harder.Lena stared at her.If her auntie had been an actress in Merika, she would probably have won an Oscar already.“Let me tell you something,” Lena said calmly. “Everything I told you about what happened during the three years I was lost was a lie. Every single word.”Her auntie slowly lowered her hands.“You really think I trust you enough to tell you everything and keep it from everyone else in the sect? Dream on.”“You ungrateful girl!” Her auntie’s expression twisted with outrage. “I loved you who

"Oh. Help us prepare a bath, then," she said.The maidservant hesitated, her eyes flicking between the two of them."What's it?" Lena asked calmly."Are both of you going to bathe together?" the maidservant asked."Yes. Prepare clothes for both of us." Lena nodded."But we don't have any male clothes to put on at the bathhouse," the maidservant said hesitantly."Don't worry. I have plenty of clothes in my space ring," Samuel said.The maidservant bowed before turning around and leaving."News of us sleeping together and bathing together is going to spread throughout the entire sect soon." Lena giggled."Why do I feel like that's exactly what you want?" Samuel asked."Well, you're not wrong." A satisfied smile tugged at her lips. "I've really gone through a lot here and endured enough rubbish to last me a lifetime. But after today, no more."Samuel looked at her quietly. The determination in her eyes was unmistakable. Beneath her calm expression, a fire had been burning for far too lon

Bradley shook his head.He just left for a day, and he's already married to the future sect leader of one of the most powerful sects in Brentihill. That guy is unbelievable.The news had spread everywhere, and so had his drawing. Samuel was becoming famous for two things. The first was his marriage to the future sect leader of the Ice Frost Sect. The second was his unbelievable strength despite being less than a hundred years old.Some people were even saying he was the son of a hidden supreme expert powerful enough to wipe out all of Brentihill. According to the rumors, that expert's son had fallen in love with the future sect master of the Ice Frost Sect the moment he met her, back when she had run away from the sect.She later left without telling him where she was going. Somehow, he found his way to her wedding, only to arrive in time to see Bruno about to marry the woman he loved. Enraged, he challenged Bruno and killed him on the spot.Bradley almost laughed when he heard the st

"Who are you people?" one of them asked.The gray-haired man glanced at his partner, confusion flashing across his face."Did you hire some other men or what?""What kind of stupid question is that? When did I start ordering other people?" his partner snapped angrily."Where's he?" the black-cloaked man asked, his eyes sweeping across the room. When he found no one else inside, his expression darkened."Where's who?"The cloaked men exchanged glances before their expressions hardened.Then they dashed forward.Bang!A black-cloaked man drove his foot into the gray-haired man's head.The attack came without warning.The gray-haired man's head snapped to the side as the force of the kick sent him flying backward. His body slammed into the wall with a deafening crash.The wall shattered.He tore straight through it and crashed into another wall, then another, disappearing through the rooms beyond without slowing down.His partner's expression changed instantly.He drew his weapon and too

Her hair had become much whiter, almost as white as freshly fallen snow. There was something else about her as well. Her temperament had changed, and so had the aura surrounding her. To anyone else, she might have appeared to be an ordinary person without the slightest trace of energy. But Samuel knew better. Her seemingly ordinary appearance was deceptive. Whatever had happened to her during the time they had been apart, she was most likely many times more powerful than she had been before. Lena finally noticed that he had been staring at her. "How have you been?" she asked."You have really changed," Samuel replied.He stepped forward and sat down on the bed beside her.Rosalie's eyes moved between the two of them."Erm..." She cleared her throat awkwardly. "Do I have to go?"Samuel turned his gaze toward her."What do you think?"Rosalie immediately understood."I'll take that as a yes."She turned toward the door without wasting another second."You got the inheritance
