1177 Frightened

Dyon decided to give up on the idea of taking his tribulation for now. It seemed the process was more complicated than he thought. All this time, he had assumed it would be a cake walk considering his body's and soul's strengths, but it seemed the universe was more prepared than he thought.

"Where've you been?" Ri asked with a frown the moment Dyon walked into the Elvin Palace.

Scratching the back of his head, Dyon told Ri about Jade and his tribulation mishap. There was no point in lying, after all, their souls were connected. Doing something like that would just fracture their relationship.

"Really?" Ri's look softened. She had thought that Dyon was goofing off or doing something dangerous without telling her again.

Ri understood Dyon's complicated feelings in regard to Jade. So, she knew that his feelings of guilt weren't related to feelings of love, but rather that he felt he should have been able to help more than he did.
