212 I just want to sleep! (1/2)

Krune looked at Feifei, who nodded at him.

”Alright.”

He then went back to his wisp form, colorful as ever.

Milia looked at him and couldn't help but comment.

”It really is a wisp, but why so colorful?”

Krune then said that it was because of his Elemental Core... or so he thought.

While Milia was talking with Krune in his wisp form, Lucio came back to the Sect. Since Krune's friends were all inside the Divine Path Sect Territory, it wasn't difficult for him to locate them.

Lucio then left everyone in Krune's house and came back to tell him. When he arrived, he saw that Milia was too. Milia also noticed him and smiled.

”Hey, if it isn't Lucio. It's been some time.”

Lucio felt a little gloomy but didn't show it on his face.

”Indeed. I see that you got quite an interest in my disciple. How is it? Do you think he is good enough? I don't want to brag, but he is this old man's disciple, so you definitely won't find anyone better out there.”

Krune was surprised by this sudden praise from his Master. But then he remembered what Feifei told him about Lucio and Wang Xin's past.

'I see, it's because of her.'

Milia then put a serious expression and said.

”He's not too bad, I guess. Although I can't understand why Feifei chose him, Love is not something that can be understood with words to start with.”

Lucio heard that and couldn't help but agree with her. Even today, he is still unmarried because of what happened between him, Xin, and Milia.

”Indeed, that's not something that can be explained.”

Lucio then looked at Krune.

”I brought all of them back and left them waiting in your home, so you should go back there now. Remember what and what not to say.”

”Alright, Master.”

Krune then disappeared from the room and went back.

Milia looked at Feifei and asked.

”Feifei, what about your choice of who you will bring with you?”

Feifei looked at her mother.

”I already know who to bring with me.”

Back at Krune's residence, everyone was waiting with puzzled faces. Out of nowhere, the Sect master appeared right in front of them. He didn't say anything and immediately grabbed everyone before bringing them back to Krune's house. Fortunately, neither one was busy or doing anything important at that moment.

When Krune arrived, Ao, Yusa, Shinja, and Arlan looked at him. Also, the wisps, Ruik, Lizard Dragons, Ula, Lakin, Lofa, Tasier, and the rest were already waiting there. There was only one thing that was certain, the reason had to do with Krune.

Krune was already back to his human form. He then looked at everyone and said.

”I asked Master to call everyone back because an opportunity appeared. So I'll be leaving for a long time, and we won't be able to see each other anytime soon.”

Immediately, everyone was taken aback.

”Where are you going?”

Krune shook his head.

”I can't say because it's a secret of the Sect. I agreed to not disclose any information about that place. All you need to know is that it's an excellent opportunity for me. Although I won't be able to see you for hundreds or maybe thousands of years, know that I will do my best to come back as soon as possible.”

Lakin couldn't help but comment.

”But Master, without you, what will happen with the wisps here in the Sect?”

Krune only laughed at that question.

”Don't worry, I'm still a disciple of the Sect, so my residence and subordinates will keep being mine. You can stay here until the next Sect Entrance Exam and try to join it on your own.”

Lakin then made another question.

”Can I go with you?”

Krune immediately shook his head.

”Can't do, you are the one who will be responsible for the wisps from now on, so you have to stay to take care of them.”

Ao then asked.

”What about us? It's not like we are being held here anyway. I can talk with Master, and he probably will agree if I say that this is something prepared by the Sect Master.”

Krune shook his head again.

”I can't bring you all with me either. Otherwise, I would definitely do so. Master only allowed me to bring a single person or demon beast, nothing more.”

Everyone then looked at Krune, disappointed.

Krune then laughed and said.

”Anyway, I wanted to spend the rest of the day with everyone and cook to you all. So there is no deed for any gloomy farewells. As I said, this is an excellent opportunity, I'm not going to be sacrificed or anything like that. By the time I come back, I will probably have left you far behind in cultivation. Haha!”

Yusa snorted at that comment.

”Do you think we have been playing outside? I admit that you might have higher cultivation, but I will make sure it won't last for long.”

Shinja and the others laughed at that. They, too, are confident in their future prospects.

Krune nodded and then went to cook. Lofa, as always, helped him this time too. It would be a lie if she said that she wasn't sad, but she already decided to leave things behind. So she was really just helping with the food.

Suddenly, Krune's eyes got sharp, and he looked to the ceiling.

”Old geezer, what do you want to eat? I'm feeling generous today, so I will make whatever you want.”

A second later, Lucio appeared inside the room with surprise written on his face.

”How did you know that I was there?”

Krune laughed and said.
