Chapter 595 - Eyed by Various Sects (1/2)
All 32 shards were given to the three girls. Of the three, Hua Mulan had the most, Sylphy had enough, and Nina, only a little. Nina was a healer and was already the strongest in terms of tier and levels when compared to the two. Hence, it was only logical to let others take more of the shards.
"My dear, we will take some time to absorb the powers from the essence shards. Although it pains me to say, neither of us would have time to be with you, for a while…" said Sylphy.
"It's fine. You're only going to be gone for a while. We will meet each other again after you have absorbed the power that is in the shards," said Jiang Fei.
"That's right! Don't pretend to be sad!" Isabella muttered under her breath.
"My lord. Please take care," said Hua Mulan before she left Jiang Fei. She had the most shards in her possession and would take the longest time to absorb all of them. The faster she could finish, the quicker she could return to Jiang Fei's side.
"I'll take my leave now. My thoughts will only be of you," said Nina as she too, left Jiang Fei.
"My dearest, I will be back as soon as I can," said Sylphy as she leaned in and kissed Jiang Fei on the lips.
"Hmph! Be off with you!" cried Isabella. Although Isabella and Sylphy were no longer at each other's throats, Isabella was still not fond of her.
"Sister Bella…" Ariel came in and tugged Isabella's sleeves, reminding her to be nice.
"Urgh… Fine… I'll play nice," said Isabella as she turned to Jiang Fei.
"So, where to next?"
Hua Mulan, Nina, and Sylphy were all gone to absorb the shards' power, leaving Ariel and Isabella alone with Jiang Fei.
"Wherever you want," said Jiang Fei as he pulled Isabella to his side. Isabella blushed immediately and averted her gaze.
"W-we can go sightseeing…"
"As you wish, my lady," said Jiang Fei as he summoned the Skygliding Dragon.
There was literally nothing going on in his mind then. The upcoming event would be the Professional Player Competition that was starting soon. Once it starts, his mission to collect all the Treasure Cauldrons will start.
For the entire week, Jiang Fei had basically repeated the same activities. In the morning, he would be with his family and Si Tuying. In the night, he would be in the game, accompanying Ariel and Isabella to go around the map.
Time flies. Just when he was having the time of his life, reality kicked in when Jiang Fei received a call from Han Tianyu.
"Fei, come to my office whenever you can."
Han Tianyu would not call Jiang Fei without a problem and when he does, something must have happened.
"I'll be there," said Jiang Fei. He then told Si Tuying and his parents about visiting a friend and left for Han Tianyu's office.
"Please inform Brother Yu that I am here to meet him," said Jiang Fei to the secretary sitting at the entrance of Han Tianyu's office.
At first, she was surprised to see Jiang Fei talking to her but later, she thought that the boy became smart and mature enough to ask for permission before entering Han Tianyu's office. Her guess was almost on point. Jiang Fei was almost caught by his father while he was having a romantic moment with Si Tuying. That lesson had made him realize just how intrusive he was to Han Tianyu when he barged into his room without first announcing his presence.
