Chapter 127: Strange Man

While Eren remained silent, lost in his own thoughts, Zia looked at him with anticipation. Her gaze kept shifting to the herb in his hand.

"I have prepared a gift for you," Eren finally spoke up.

"Zia would humbly accept Master's gift," Zia replied, reaching out her hand to accept the herb.

However, Eren didn't hand over the herb. Instead, he took another sip of the ceremony tea.

"I would love to give you the gift right now as well, but something has been troubling your poor master. Can my dear disciple help her poor master with one more thing?" Eren asked, his voice filled with concern.

Eren could hear the sound of Zia's cracking knuckles, a clear indication that she was resisting the urge to punch him.

"Zia would love to help master in any way she can," she replied, trying to keep her frustration in check.
