Chapter 649: Lofty Aspiration And Ambition (1/2)
”Welcome home, Young Master Leonhardt!”
”Welcome home, Young Master Leonhardt!”
Returning to Barrenrock Courtyard, the six maids stood in two lines of three and greeted Leon with a respectful bow.
At the same time, Darlene and Aria stood at the back and waited as if they had been expecting his arrival.
Leon acknowledged the maids' greeting with a nod before strolling past them and stopped in front of Aria and Darlene.
”How did the summit go?” Aria asked.
”I'd say it was going well, but a problem popped up midway,” Leon shook his head and said, ”A group of Battle Masters is heading to this tribe. Worst-case scenario, we will be fighting a big battle soon.”
”Who might we be fighting?” Aria asked with surprise.
”It's likely to be the Black Warbear Tribe, one of the four strongest tribes in the Infertile Plains' central region. I'll fill you in on the detail later. Go pick a room and adjust your mental state, Aria. I will visit your room in a bit,” Leon said and gave her a soft kiss on the forehead.
Aria did not think much of his words and nodded, ”Mm, alright. I'll see you in a bit.”
Shortly after, Leon turned to Darlene and gave her a peck on the forehead after saying, ”You too, Darlene. I'll visit you in a bit too to talk about…some things.”
”I understand, hubby.” Darlene's eyes flickered before she smiled knowingly.
Aria suddenly paused her steps as her expression wrinkled with doubt, wondering why Leon needed to visit them separately.
However, after she glanced back and saw Darlene's expression, she quickly realized Leon's intention for visiting.
She immediately blushed and hastened her steps—before pausing again to gaze at Duna suspiciously.
Duna gave a provocative smile before Aria snorted.
Before long, Aria and Darlene both disappeared into their selected rooms before Leon turned back to face the six maids.
”It seems none of you have managed to awaken yet,” Leon stated after studying them.
Tia, Chana, Nora, Tess, Zoe, and Kiara all lowered their heads with shame for failing to live up to the young master's expectations.
”We apologize for our incompetence, Young Master Leonhardt!”
”Don't take it too harshly on yourselves,” Leon immediately waved his hands for them to raise their heads before he casually said, ”It's just a small matter. We'll talk more about this later. Just take it easy for now.”
”Yes, Young Master Leonhardt,” the six maids slightly bowed.
Shortly after, Leon grabbed Duna's arm and pulled her into an unoccupied bedroom.
Although he was a bit hopeful, he had expected none of the six maids to be able to awaken naturally within the week.
To accomplish awakening within the timeframe despite have zero knowledge of Awakening Cultivation prior, they would have needed to be cultivation geniuses.
Inside the bedroom, Duna immediately pushed Leon down on the bed and hopped on top with a condescending look.
