"Teacher Evane, I am not an Advance Stage Cultivator,"

Nux muttered.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Evane turned around and frowned.

However, her frown only deepened when she saw Nux's solemn face.

This was the first time she has seen that expression on his even, even while facing Candice Water, he didn't look like this tensed.

"Teacher Evane, what I am going to tell you right now, I hope you can keep it a secret from others. If not, I would lose my life."

Nux muttered.

"W-What?"

"Teacher Evane, can I trust you?"

Nux questioned with a solemn look on his face.

Seeing his expression, Evane's heart skipped a beat and,

Unconsciously, she nodded her head.

"Y-Yes."

Nux smiled and then, he deactivated [Trickster].

Soon, Evane's eyebrows rose up and her mouth widened in shock,

"Expert Stage…"

She muttered inwardly, unable to believe what she was thinking.
