Chapter 1137 I will not be bothering you any further, Sister.
"Sister!"
A white-haired, green-eyed man with white cat ears on his head barged into a room with a smile on his face.
The room was softly lit, and inside a breathtaking Cat Kin woman sat at an ornate desk, hard at work. Her striking beauty was impossible to ignore. Her long, snowy-white hair fell gracefully down her back, shimmering like silk in the warm candlelight. Her distinct cat ears added a charming, feline touch to her look.
Her eyes, a deep and mysterious shade of green, held a wisdom that seemed to reach beyond words. She wore silk robes in black, elegantly adorned with silver embroidery. The robes accentuated her slim figure, and a crescent moon pendant hung around her neck, adding to her regal aura.
Interrupted by her brother, her quill that had been moving nonstop for a long time finally stopped, with a calm, expressionless look on her face, she turned towards the man who walked into her room and,
"Felix, how many times have I told you not to bother me when I am busy? If there is something you wish to discuss, please meet me tomorrow, I need to get this done by today. It is quite urgent."
She spoke, her voice was soft, not showing any signs of anger or frustration even though she clearly looked overworked. Felix frowned a little when he saw the pile of paper stacked up on his sister's table, he wanted to help, however, these documents were related to the new clans that had emerged in the Feline Cat City, Rune was particularly sensitive about the matter, therefore, she wouldn't let anyone else deal with such tasks.
Today, however, Felix hadn't come here without any special reason, rather, his reasoning for coming here was extremely special.
"Nux Leander is back and ExceedoGenesis will be facing a rather popular Bloodmoon Clan who is led by a Saint Stage Cultivator."
Felix reported and the moment she did, Rune's expression changed.
"He is back?"
"That's correct!" Felix nodded with an excited look on his face.
"It has been a long time." Rune nodded, she didn't seem to share her brother's excitement, or maybe she was actually excited and just wasn't good at expressing it.
"So when are we leaving?" Felix questioned.
"Leaving?" Rune tilted her head in confusion.
"We are going to meet him, aren't we?"
"Why should we do that?"
"Because he is Nux! He has helped us so much! He is pretty much the reason why all of us are still alive! Did you forget everything he did for us in just 150 years? Shouldn't we at least go, greet, and catch up with him?"
Felix couldn't understand.
"Felix, as I have said before, I am busy, we will visit him some other day. We do not have to be the first ones to visit him, there is no condition like that."
"Considering how close the relationship between us is, we should definitely be one of the first ones who went ahead and met them." Felix had a different opinion.
"You can leave, I have things to do."
Rune, however, simply focused on the papers on her desk again as her quill started moving, completely ignoring Felix.
Felix stared at his sister for a while, he knew that his sister was not an ungrateful person, there was no way she would forget Nux like that and act cold, there had to be a reason behind her act-
Suddenly, Felix's expression changed.
"Are you doing this because you don't want these clans to focus on Nux?"
Rune froze.
"So that's it." Felix nodded to himself.
"These people have been investigating the case of Skythorn Falcon City. If it weren't for Father protecting us, they would have even barged into our Mansion to interrogate us. Some of our servants had mysteriously disappeared as well and it is suspected that they were kidnapped by these clans who wished to interrogate them.
This is also the reason why you used the Artifact to delete the memory of that incident from all the servants of the mansion.
I thought that you were just trying to keep the matter a secret but now that I think about it…
You are trying to protect Nux. The 'Mysterious Man' who helped us that day…
This is the reason you seem unwilling to rush to him because if you do, they would focus on your relationship and might look into yours and his past. To avoid that you are trying to give off the impression that he is merely an acquaintance of yours rather than a close friend."
Felix finally realized the truth.
"If you understand, then please leave, I have things to do."
Rune spoke, not agreeing or disagreeing with her brother's words.
Felix, however, didn't need any acknowledgment, now that he looked back, her every action that he couldn't understand this entire time finally made sense, it was as if the one last piece of the puzzle was put in the right place.
Felix knew how dangerous these Clans were, thankfully, they didn't have a Divine Stage with them, however, they just the Complete Saint Stage Cultivators were enough to represent their might.
And who knows? If they have so many Complete Saints, they might even have 1 or 2 Divines as well. The current situation of Yrniel was already complex, every power was trying to avoid getting into any kind of major confrontation because of the fear of the unknown.
Rune's decision to protect Nux, Felix understood it.
"We can meet him once we have some time.
After all, we only need to keep up the formalities so as to not fall out of his favor once he grows, the current Nux is not strong enough for us to give him so much attention."
Felix commented.
Rune glanced at her brother for a moment before she nodded. "That is correct."
"I will not be bothering you any further, Sister.
And please don't forget to take care of your health as you work." Saying those words, Felix walked away.
The Circle of time continued to move without stopping and soon, a week had passed and Aldara City was filled to the brim yet again.
It was time to see if Nux Leander still had it in him,
Or whether he would just be becoming a Relic of the Past.
