Just as Nux was about to leave, Arvina noticed his Cultivation and her eyes widened in surprise.
“King Stage!!”
She wanted to talk to him about this, however, when she came out of her shock, Nux had already left her room.
“Nux wait!”
Arvina didn’t give up, she stood up and dashed outside her room, however, when she looked around the corridor outside her room, Nux was nowhere to be found.
It was as if he disappeared into thin air.
Arvina frowned.
“Don’t bother, Arv.
There are people he wants to meet, he was getting impatient so he must have ran with all his might and you already know, if a King Stage Cultivator gives his all, you won’t be able to catch him no matter what.”
Arvina looked at Ember and seeing the calm look on her face, she shook her head.
“You do not understand, that boy is just 18 years old, he was a Grand Master Stage Cultivator when I met him and it was just a few months ago.
That boy became a King Stage Cultivator from a Grand Master Stage Cultivator in just a matter of a few months!
Isn’t that ridiculous!?”
“Well, he is Nux. He was a monster from the start.”
Ember shrugged with a nonchalant look on her face.
Seeing that reaction, Arvina frowned.
She wanted to retort to her words however, now that she thinks about it…
Isn’t that the perfect reason and the best explanation there is?
How did he become a King Stage Cultivator so quickly?
Well, because he was Nux.
He has done so many impossible things before, why not just add another one to that list?
When Arvina thought about it that way, she wasn’t as shocked as before.
She has to admit, this was indeed a good way to think things when it was related to Nux.
However, Arvina didn’t like the fact that the one who came up with this theory was not her but Ember.
Why…
Just why did this woman come up with a Theory to deal with her student?
Shouldn’t she be the one who should come up with something like this?
The more she thought about it, the more Arvina frowned.
She then walked towards Ember and sat down next to her.
“You understand him well, huh…”
“Well, I have been observing him for more than a month now.”
Ember smiled.
Arvina frowned inwardly,
‘I have been doing the same, you know?’
However, she didn’t say that out loud and nodded her head,
“Hm hm, that sounds reasonable but still… aren’t you acting a little too nonchalant right now?
He is an 18-year-old King Stage Cultivator, after all, you have to be a little shocked, right?”
“It’s not like I am not shocked, I just got numb.”
“What do you mean?”
“That boy has done a lot of things in these past few days he has been with me.
It won’t be wrong to say that this boy has practically saved me and my entire army many times.
He has achieved feats that most of the soldiers who have countless years of experience haven’t.”
Hearing those words, a proud smile appeared on Arvina’s face.
“Heh, as I expected.”
Although she didn’t say it out loud, the words ‘He is my students’ were written on her face, in capital letters.
It couldn’t be any more obvious.
Ember, of course, understood what she wanted to say as well, she wanted to smile with her as well, however, before that, she wanted to confirm something else.
“Arvina, I have a few questions that I want you to answer,
Would you mind doing that?”
Suddenly, the frown on Arvina’s face disappeared.
The two of them are meeting each other after years and they are not as close to each other as they were before, however, this didn’t mean that they have completely forgotten about each other.
Arvina knew what the look on Ember’s face meant right now.
She was dead serious right now.
“Ask.”
Arvina nodded her head.
Ember then placed her hands on the table and moved her upper body close to Arvina, then, her red eyes shined brightly as they scanned Arvina’s facial expressions as if trying to see if she would lie or not.
“What is your plan? Just what are you thinking right now?”
She questioned.
“Huh? Plans? What plans?”
Arvina frowned.
“I am talking about Nux, why are you helping him? You know how monstrously talented he is, correct?
With his talent, sooner or later, he and the Skyfall Kingdom would become enemies.
What will you do if that happens?
Who will you side with that day?”
Ember questioned.
“Huh? What kind of question is that? Isn’t it obvious? I would side with my student of course.”
Arvina answered without even thinking about it, Ember, however, wasn’t done yet.
“So you are going to betray the Kingdom you have lived your life in?”
“No, I am not ‘betraying’ the Kingdom, I am just betraying the Skyfall Family.
I feel that whatever happens after this would be better for the Kingdom, it just won’t be ‘Skyfall’ anymore.”
Arvina answered with the same resolution as before.
“You are close to the Emperor Stage Cultivator of your Kingdom correct? I heard that she has been protecting you and that she is the reason why that perverted King of yours hasn’t touched you, right?
Are you going the betray the woman who has been protecting you for so many years for a student who you have just met a few months ago?”
Ember tilted her head as she probed.
“…”
This time, Arvina didn’t answer as quickly as before.
This time, she hesitated, and after hesitating for a while, she nodded,
“T-The situation where Nux and Teacher Astaria face each other won’t happen.”
Ember narrowed her eyes.
“You didn’t answer my question.”
“That is my answer to your question.”
Arvina shot back.
“Alright, let me create a hypothetical situation for you.
Let’s say your Teacher and Nux do fight each other,
What would you then?
Who would you side with?
Nux, your student,
Or your teacher?”
