Chapter 51 Conflict into reap of rewards

"Hey Heater, what do you think you're doing to this distinguished guest?"

At this moment, Heater realised that he has actually descended into the lower realm with his elder sister beside him.

Heater turned around abruptly towards the direction of the voice as his body shuddered for just one short moment. He immediately dispersed his energy attack and acted like he was merely posing.

Heater unclenched his fists as he crossed them behind his back while looking up and asked Nightin "The sky is beautiful, isn't it?"

Nightin turned his head upwards, only to see the ceiling which was made of gold and nothing else. Nightin wanted to help Heater out, only to realised that he would be digging his own grave.

Nightin pointed towards the ceiling and said something which always made Heater puke blood as the woman broke out in laughter. "Senior Heater, how are you seeing the sky right now? All I see is the ceiling made of gold above me."

Heater remained at a loss for words and before he could say anything, the woman had already walked up to him and dragged him by the ear into the corner.

"Heater, you dare to defy father orders! Seems like you need a good lesson!" By this time,the woman had already dragged Heater to a place where they couldn't be seen.

During the first few moments, the whole place remained quiet which got Nightin and Harvard both curious about what was happening.

"Hey, what do you think that woman will do to Heater?" Nightin politely asked.

Harvard whispered back "I'm not sure either, but she's known for being violent at times like this, it's the first time it has been this quiet.

The next moment however, the screaming of a man could be heard from afar as he cried out in pain.

"I'm sorry sister, please forgive me for ignoring father orders! Ahh!"

"Sister, you're such a pretty yet graceful and elegant woman, you won't bully a weakling like me right!"

Right when Nightin and Harvard thought that Heater would be spared after that, another ear piercing scream can from afar again which sent shudders down their spine.

Nightin and Harvard turned to look at each other before they both started to observe one minute of silence for Heater. They could only see pitch blackness towards that area, but could smell the thin wisp of blood in the air.

After a few chapters had passed, the screaming and shouting had finally ceased as peace return to this area.

The woman dragged Heater across the floor as he laid down there with his arms and legs spread out. If not for the fact that he still had a breath, they would be worrying if he was dead.

The next moment, she threw Heater across the floor as she found a chair and sat down on it. This was the first time Nightin paid close attention to the woman.

She combed one strand of her hair behind her before introducing herself "I'm Heater's sister Waverly Voyager and I'm here today on behalf of my father to relay his message."

Waverly had tied her oceanic blue hair into a ponytail behind her as her long fringe was spread out evenly just above her eyebrows. Her skin was slightly tanned yet fair, her eyebrow was cocked as she pouted her cherry red lips.

"Hey, just what did you do to attract the attention of my father? Even if it's because you cultivate a Divine law or manage to locate the correct luck stone, it wouldn't be enough of a reason for him to issue this order.

Waverly asked Nightin as she crossed her arms over her chest which Nightin merely ignored. Even though she was pretty, she would pale slightly in comparison to both Stella and Cordelia or even Charlotte. But if he had to say,she had her unique charm and attractiveness which no other woman owned.

Nightin started to ponder over the possible reasons and how he would deal with them. Even after cracking his brains to think of an idea, he wasn't able to think of any possible reasons which might have resulted in this.

One minute passed in the blink of an eye as Waverly got impatient and pursed her lips as she stamped her foot on the ground just like a little girl. "Hey, how long are you going to take just to give me a simple answer? How are you going to compensate me for lost time?"

Nightin frowned as his eyebrows arched up, all he did was spend a little time thinking in his own world and yet he had actually gotten someone pissed off for him. If not for his maturity and methods of handling problems, he would already have flared up against Waverly.

Harvard could see the tense atmosphere in the as he stepped out to interrupt them. "Missy, the only reason he took this long is because he himself has no clue about the reason as well."

Waverly wasn't willing to back down and shouted back "It doesn't change the fact that he wasted a minute of my life!"

Nightin interjected in at this time "Miss Waverly, I'm sorry for wasting your time, but what's the reason your father sent you here?"

Waverly was about to rebut, but she stopped herself after recalling the important order her father had entrusted her with.

Waverly took out a scroll and read it as she said "My father said that the reason he was seeking you is because of the sword of yours.

My father who's a Sword Ancestor can't tell the realm which your sword skills are at. It's like as though as if, you have stepped onto a different path."

Nightin was shocked, but wasn't afraid. Nightin Calmly replied "You can tell your father that I've attempted to walk a different way on the sword path. Still, what's the reason that your father is seeking me?"

Waverly shook her head and shrugged her shoulders and replied "Like my brother have said, he hopes that you can join the Voyager family. As for your sect, it can join us as well."

Nightin wrinkled his eyebrows, he could smell the fragrance of floral from Waverly and could hear her breathing getting slower as well. Waverly herself needed him to accept the request, his final decision might affect her whole life.

Even so, Nightin couldn't afford to back down at this moment. Raising his head up, his gaze met Waverly's clear blue eyes as he said "I'm sorry, but I still aren't able to join the Voyager family. However, establishing a friendly relationship isn't impossible."

Waverly felt her heart sinking into the depths of the water when she heard Nightin saying that he has to reject the offer. But when Nightin said that a friendly relationship could be built up between them, he shone light into her eyes as it passed through the opaque water. The hands of light pulled her out from the deep water and gave her hope once again.

Waverly knew that this might not be the best result her father wants, but she'll definitely be able to explain herself if the negotiations between her and Nightin goes well.
