Chapter 477 - Favor (1/2)

”Sister is back?” he asked in surprise. He looked inside the ball of ice that was floating in the air and saw something yellow inside with occasional hints of green.

The elder that was refereeing the match suddenly stepped in and stopped Luo Mei. The ball of ice that was floating midair crashed onto the ground and the disciple that was inside fell out, unconscious.

Luo Mei was quickly pronounced victorious and the crowds of disciples looked around in awe. Luo Mei walked down from the stage and continued huffing. Alex ran up.

”Sister!” he shouted. ”You're back.”

Luo Mei turned around and chuckled. ”It seems you're finally out of your room. Honestly, were you sleeping? I called you out so many times,” she said.

”Oh, you did?” Alex asked shyly. It must've been when he was still logged out, so he couldn't have heard her call him out.

”Wait, if you're here. That means… Uncle is okay?” Alex asked.

”Yes, all thanks to you,” Luo Mei said softly. ”Thank you, junior brother. Taking you on my journey back home was the best thing I ever did.”

”Aw, you don't have to say that. But you're welcome. I will always help you if you need it again,” Alex said.

”No, seriously, Junior brother. Thank you for what you did,” Luo Xing came from the side and said. ”Do not hesitate if there is anything you need help with. Call us, and we will be there.”

”Oh, thank you. Actually, I do have a small favor to ask of you,” Ning said. ”Let's talk about that later though.”

”Anyway, who were you fighting, sister? Did you decide to beat someone because you saw your badge number was low?” Alex asked with a chuckle.

”No, I just took my rank back,” Luo Mei said with a smile.

”Wait…” it took a moment for Alex to comprehend what she had just said. He immediately stretched his neck to look at the green-haired disciple that was no longer there.

”You beat Trevor? He was quite strong from what I heard,” Alex said.

”I saw. He was strong, much stronger than I imagined. However, his abilities hadn't matured. He doesn't have any skill at fighting at all, and his knowledge wasn't that good either,” Luo Mei said.

”I saw that too,” Xiao Huang said from the side. ”Like what sort of idiot continues fighting against Water with Metal and Earth? That kid needs to learn a lot before he advances to the True realms.”

”He's one of those stupid, but talented ones that have been appearing lately I believe,” Luo Xing said.

”Anyway, let's go back. Please tell me what happened after I left,” Alex said.

The four of them walked back up the mountain. Luo Mei explained everything that had happened in Rubyroad city for the last few days.

She explained how her father was healed and how eating the pill that Alex left him helped get rid of the rest of the parasites.

Luo Keng was now starting to show signs of recovery. His pale face was starting to show color once again. He then ate pills that healed him and were now on his way to making a swift recovery.

Luo Mei also explained how the Mind Elating pills that Alex left her had helped her.

”I knew little brother was an alchemist and a healer, but I didn't know he was such an experienced fighter too,” Xiao Huang said.

”Oh, you fought today? When?” Luo Mei asked.

”Yeah,” Alex said. ”It was right around the same time as when you fought, so you didn't realize.”

”Oh, someone dared challenge you even after reaching the 3rd rank, huh?” Luo Mei said. ”They must've lost their mind.”

”It was Yang Ma,” Alex said.

”What?” Luo Mei asked.

”It was Yang Ma who challenged me,” Alex said.

”And you won?” Luo Mei asked.

Alex smiled. ”Yeah, easily. I'm strong now too sister,” he said.

”Nice. Good one. I always like it when I get to see his sour face,” Luo Mei said.

”You really do hate him, don't you?” Alex asked. ”Did he try to go for the 1st rank before too?”

”No, it's his arrogance. He comes from an aristocratic family, not unlike our own, but really likes to show it. Just because his family apparently has a Saint realm expert, he used to act like he owned the whole world.”

”He's way more refined now compared to how he was back then. But still, I can't help but remember his arrogant looks and hate him,” Luo Mei said.

”I see,” Alex said.

The four of them reached Luo Mei's house and entered.

”Oh, hey Meng Yun, good to see you again,” Alex said.

”Hello,” Meng Yun greeted him back. She sneakily checked his aura and realized how much further and further behind she was getting compared to him.
