506 Acquaintances

Looking at the blonde-haired beauty, Alex stood still. He was surprised to find a woman bathing in this kind of place. He turned off his Spirit Eyes for a split second after knowing it was a waterfall and the area was deserted, he believed he could go out just like that.

No, it could be said that he just got accustomed to a lifestyle where he did not need to be on constant guard.

"Ah… The lifestyle seems to dull my perception a bit… I should check first before coming out. That's right… After almost two years in that world, I have grown accustomed that no one would attack me as long as I have those crystals. In that case, I only need to do some planning and everything would be fine. But in this world..." Alex sighed.

The woman saw astonishment inside his eyes rather than l.u.s.t. The astonishment came not from her beauty but because he knew this person.

"Ky-" She wanted to scream out of reflex but bit her lips to hold it back. "You… can you turn around for a minute."

"!!" Alex was a bit surprised, seeing there was not any irrational retaliation from her. He was prepared to see her charge at him with power, shouting 'Die.' But it would seem the woman did not go for that cliche.

He stepped backward and stopped his fire, letting the waterfall become a curtain once again.

Not long after, the waterfall was stopped by the wind power of this woman. She was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt with a knee-length skirt. Her wind, like a hairdryer, already dried her wet hair. She looked at Alex and bit her lips.

"Well, I apologize for seeing you. Not my intention though." Alex said with a poker face.

"I understand… I wanted to kill you at first, but I instantly realized it was you. Well, you should certainly thank my sister for this because I recalled what she said earlier."

"?!" Alex tilted his head in confusion. He was prepared for some attack and might even attack her back, but he was lucky since the other party could retain their calm.

"She said, 'You shall always keep calm in any situation, even when you are naked. Just say that some a.s.sa.s.sins want to kill you when you are bathing, can you say I will kill you because you peep me? No, so just keep calm, a.s.sess the situation, and do whatever you think is right.' Besides, I know you don't mean to do it. I should check my surroundings first."

"Ah." He nodded. "Though I might do something an a.s.sa.s.sin would do if you attack me. And we can talk after you calm down, or maybe just ask your sister to calm you down."

"Ahaha… Are you a man?" She paused a bit before saying, "Since you have taken a glimpse of my naked body, you should marry me."

"..." Alex opened his eyes wide, stupefied.

She chuckled and said, "Just kidding. There is no custom about it anyway. Of course, if they are strangers or any other person, I might kill them right now. However, you are my Elder Sister's junior brother and one of the VIP cardholders, it will just bring me more trouble.

"So, I want to ask you to forget about it… well, that is certainly not possible, right? Though I wish you can keep it buried and not recall it again… and don't tell anyone about it. After all, my sister said your perspective of women is very different from the norm." She bit her lips and clenched her fists, holding all the emotions inside her. She also had another reason, which was his master. If his master directed his rage toward the Blackwade Clan, they would die without knowing how.

Alex nodded, wondering how this woman could keep her calm. He recalled when he first met her. She looked like a muscle brain, whose emotion would be easily manipulated.

"This might be the second time we meet… right?"

"Yes."

"I think I have never properly introduced myself… I am Song Jia, Blackwade's clan second daughter, Song Yu's younger sister, nice to meet you. First of all, I thank you for your help back in Willow Continent, including taking care of Honda Sana and the invaders."

Although he knew she was trying to suppress her emotion, he was still surprised at how much she changed from back then.

Little did he know after Song Yu came back, Song Jia was literally happy for it. And because of the plan she proposed, she started learning how to have a calm state of mind. Her raging flame that wished to challenge every person she met was gone to puff after her idol, Song Yu, came back.

"Alexander Sirius. Anyway, I think I should apologize again… I'm sorry."

She shook her head before looking at him with a serious expression. "What are you going to do now? Elder Sister is worrying about you, you know. If I am not wrong, you should have arrived on this continent two years ago."

"I needed to take care of a few things and had closed-door cultivation for a while in this cave. Anyway, I can go back to this place for a while and visit her at a certain point. For now, I am planning to go to the nearest town."

Looking at him, she sighed. "How about coming with me? My group has just come back from a mission. We are on our way to the Blackwade Clan. If you wish to stop at the nearest town, I can guide you there before going back. Besides, Putri… your disciple is with me too. I think you might want to visit her for a bit."

"Putri?" Alex knew Putri was with the Blackwade Clan after meeting Song Yu, but he was surprised to see her with Song Jia. "Well, I might as well meet her."

"Sure. Follow me, I will lead you to my group." She then leaped outside the cave, flying to the north.

Alex followed her for about a hundred meters before he found nine other people with one of them being his disciple.

They descended together, making others surprised, especially Putri. However, Alex decided to use his mask as a precaution after the earlier incident.

Alex observed these people's cultivation and found out they were only Martial Kings while Song Jia was the strongest, a Martial Emperor. He also checked Putri's cultivation and found she had become an 8-Star Martial King.

Of all the people he taught, Putri certainly had the lowest talent. Even the wind gem she consumed only closed the gap between her and Evelyn as well as Rose. Luckily, with the resources from the Blackwade Clan, she could advance faster.

With her current progress, he thought Evelyn and Rose would catch up sooner or later. The soonest would be in Martial Emperor and the latest would be in Martial Monarch.

If she did not go to the Heavenly Continent soon, Alex feared she could not keep up. At first, he thought even if he left this world, they would be fine since someone would take care of them like Putri and Song Yu. He might also help Song Yu with her family, so Rose and probably... Evelyn would have a backing in Heavenly Continent.

The group comprised three females and seven males, so Alex felt he would leave the group after talking with Putri.

"Young Miss." All of them greeted her, despite being curious about the masked man.

Only Putri had seen this mask when Alex joined the war to protect the Southern Kingdom. She was walking toward the masked man alone, confusing the others in her group.

She slowly dropped to one knee and clasped her hand respectfully. "Putri greets Master."

"!!!" They dropped their jaw upon hearing it. They only knew Putri as Song Yu's junior sister and never knew her master's existence besides Charya.

"It's been a few years… Before I can sever the relations.h.i.+p, you decide to run to this continent… So, I a.s.sume you have your decision already…" Alex did not help her up and replied.

"I have decided long ago. I will always be Master's disciple, so please, don't-"

"If you have decided, I would say no more. This is your choice, but you know that being my disciple might take away your life, right?"

"I'm aware."

"Then, it is good." Alex nodded. "I should leave then."

"Master…"

"Wait!" Right after Alex turned around, a shout echoed inside his ears.

He turned to the side, looking at a black-haired man.

"She has been searching for you since two years ago! And now you are here, you will leave just like that? Have you ever thought about her feelings?" He roared. Even though he had no information about Putri's master, he knew Putri had been searching for someone this whole time. It must be this person, he thought.

"..." As he expected, it would become like this. He certainly had read some scenes about Master and Disciple relations.h.i.+ps from other points of view. The first one would come from a friend and they would certainly rage when they saw the nonchalant master like Alex. The second one was her pursuer, trying to mend their relations.h.i.+p so he could get a point in her heart. The third one was a l.u.s.ty brat who thought with his d.i.c.k, not brain. Last but not least, it came from an MC perspective, where he wanted to fight for his woman.

"Andre!" Song Jia frowned, glaring at him with killing intent.

Alex looked at this man weirdly before turning to Putri. "Your boyfriend?"

"I am sorry, Master. Please pay no heed." She shook her head.

He nodded and walked away, albeit he was stopped once again. This time, the man stopped him from the front, not letting him pa.s.s.

Alex sighed and said, "You did not know anything and made a bold claim. Don't use half-baked information to fight a stranger. Also, blocking me is the last thing you want to do."

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You are only a 1-Star Martial Emperor. I can fight a Martial Emperor like you even though I am only a peak Martial King."

Alex looked at Song Jia and said, "If you don't stop him, I am afraid I might kill him."

"Andre, stop it right now. He won't be the one to kill you, I will." Song Jia glared at him. He already broke the family rule just by confronting a VIP cardholder even though he did not know it. Song Jia also had warned him to stop and if he did not stop, she was forced to carry the punishment. And with Alex's Spirit Nest, she knew how big their contribution was in providing materials, so it was enough reason to kill him.
