239 Eden (1/2)

Ryuu sighed as he sipped on a glass full of juice, as the others were doing the same but their glass had alcohol in them he was already regretting coming to this place, 'What kind of fun is there to spend time getting drunk I will never understand although the food is good, but not as heavenly as the food I got to eat during the banquet, ah if only I could get some of that.'

Ismene turned towards Ryuu as she spoke, ”So what kind of training are you going through in order to succeed Senior Antariskh?”

Ryuu was taken aback by that, 'What does she mean by that? What am I succeeding?', he coughed as he calmed his expression as he spoke, ”Well Big sis..err Senior Antariskh has very busy schedule as such she has very less time to train me as such most of the time my teachers are the one who are training me, with Senior Antariskh helping in between from time to time.”, while inwardly it was a different matter, 'I see so that was her angle, instead of attacking me like her junior sister she is fishing for information, clever and those other senior are surely helping her as well directly or indirectly, tch, I really shouldn't have arrived here.'

Ryuu as such decided to gamble, ”So who amongst you are heir as well?”

Ismene spoke curiously at that as she spoke, ”Well all of us who were present at the meeting are, and should you not be aware of such information Ryuu?”

Ryuu: ”I am really sorry senior but there were so many seniors present and I know only a handful of them as such I was unaware of who amongst you all were present.”

Rudie: ”So Ryuu what do you wish to join the Immortal Phoenix Army?”

Ryuu: ”As much as I want to I believe I still lack in strength as such even if I would love to I think it will be detrimental to both the army and me.”

Cezary nodded at that as he spoke, ”You are much more intelligent than I was, when I had reached Golden Immortal level I ran away from home to join the army thinking about glory and what not but I really opened my eyes, no matter what one says that place even breaks people from the strongest of people driving them insane as such Ryuu the more you wait before going there the better it is.”

At that the mood plummeted amongst them as Zywia spoke, ”From what I have heard, you all will be going back to the front lines.”

Cezary gave a tired sigh as he spoke, ”Yes, it is troublesome but let us not discuss about such morbid things, let us move on from it.”

As such they changed the topic going completely as Ryuu started feeling completely like a third leg, all of sudden his attention was drawn by Cezary who spoke in a scolding tone, ”Absolutely not Zywia , I forbid it.”

Zywia gave an irritating glare as he spoke, ”Oh and who is going to stop it, you? I have been preparing for the 'Hidden Space' for so many decades and now you are telling me I will not try to explore it, how dare you?”, with that she slowly started to leak her cultivation aura.

As Ryuu cleared his throat bringing everyone attention to him, ”Excuse me but what is this place you are speaking about?”

Hearing him speaking the siblings quickly withdrew their aura, after all it would not look good if they accidently harmed Ryuu.

Rasime: ”They are talking about 'Eden', a hidden space like no other.”

Ryuu looked confused at that as he spoke, ”'Eden', I have never heard of it.”
