981 Tea 2 (1/2)

Evangeline smiled. ”Is that your subtle way of asking about my origins? This old lady has some secrets to keep. If you want to know about them, shouldn't you share some of your own first?”

”What would you like to know?”

This kind of response surprised Evangeline. She didn't expect Dyon to be so straight forward.

”Okay. I'll see how sincere you are then. What are you doing here?”

Dyon shrugged. ”I'm not here for anything in particular. I just had some free time and came for some experience.”

”Oh? I'm surprised… It doesn't seem like you're lying.”

”Of course, I'm telling the truth. I wouldn't dare to lie to you.”

”You must know how dangerous it is for someone surnamed Jafari to come here. Yet, you really have no other purpose? It's either you're a very good liar, or you gave up your intelligence for that handsome face.”

Dyon burst into a fit of laughter. ”I guess I'm not very intelligent. However, this is the perfect environment for me to train in. I could slowly consolidate my cultivation in a safe space like everyone else, or I can give myself a bit of pressure. It's pretty clear what will help me out more in the long run.”

”I see…”

”Does this mean you'll tell me why you're here now?”

”What if this is just my home quadrant? Why can't I be here?” Evangeline responded with a bit of a teasing tone. If this really was her home, Dyon's question would be silly. Of course someone with her talent would come here if that was the case.

”Something is telling me your origins aren't so simple. Call it intuition.”

”A little mystery would do you good.”

Evangeline's smile truly had a way of lighting up the room. Coupled with her almost blinding golden hair and she looked as though she was a goddess that just descended from the heavens. Dyon felt lucky to be able to speak with her so casually, but he didn't understand why this lofty beauty was so familiar with him. Could it really just be because she was a good natured person?

”I'll let the Soul Rending Peak goddess keep her secrets then.” Dyon graciously took a step back, but he still took the opportunity to do a little give and take. ”Do you mind if I ask you a question?”
