Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 539 Should I go check?

He stopped and gestured towards the elderly supreme rank elven woman, who, upon receiving his signal, began explaining to the youngsters before her that they were going to explore the ancient tombs hidden in the Sacred Divine Land.

Instantly, many elves were surprised because just a day ago when they arrived on this land, the supreme rank individuals had instructed them not to venture beyond the boundaries of this busy area without permission, citing the dangers posed by the dark, demons, and nightkin races freely roaming the land.

However, their eyes lit up with excitement when the woman assured them that they wouldn\'t be alone and that the supreme rank elves would accompany them.

Wesley watched the enthusiastic youngsters. Even though many of them had outgrown being called kids, but for those who had experienced what truly felt like being aged, they were still young and excited individuals. They would one day become stronger if they were fortunate and had the ability to overcome the hardships that would come their way. Renon removed his hand from his shoulder and completed his words.

"You gather those who are absent and guide them to explore a tomb tomorrow as well. By then, everyone should be present. Also, be cautious and reach out to me and the others if anything occurs."

Wesley nodded. The day was already getting darker, so he realized that instead of waiting for the few people who had not arrived yet, the others should leave.

He would look after the remaining ones. But when everyone was about to leave after the supreme rank elves divided them into groups, Sebastian refused to go. The man insisted on going with Yue. If she hadn\'t arrived yet, he would wait.

Wesley\'s eyebrow twitched. The old man had noticed from the short time he had spent with Sebastian how annoying the young man could become.

So, without a second hesitation, he smacked Sebastian to try to make him see reason. However, to his surprise, Renon agreed with Sebastian\'s request and decided to leave the man behind.

Wesley swore he saw a sly smirk creeping onto Renon\'s lips as he looked at Sebastian, and for some reason, that smile didn\'t seem quite right. It was a smirk that he had only seen on the man\'s face when the latter had predicted something enjoyable and couldn\'t wait to witness the results.

The old elf sighed and shook his head. It was probably just his imagination. After all, no matter how he considered it, there was nothing about Sebastian that would pique Renon\'s interest, especially considering the man had reached the final stage of the supreme rank.

He entered the building and began waiting for the other elves who had scattered to at least observe and explore the bustling area after their arrival here.

Nox sat on the chair next to him with a nonchalant expression, but then Sebastian, who had finally consumed a few healing potions to get rid of the bruises on his face, arrived beside him and asked eagerly.

"Where is Yue?"

"I haven\'t seen her for a while now. Is she in her room? Should I go check?"

Instantly, the lynx hissed at him with a deadpan expression and huffed coldly.

"Don\'t you dare disturb her! It\'s been a long time since she slept for so long. Unlike you, I had seen how she was never able to get proper rest in the past few years. So if you dare to go and wake her up, I assure you, you will face another beating similar to the one you received last night!"

Sebastian\'s face paled as he recalled what he had experienced the previous night. He shuddered and quickly changed the topic. He was okay with getting beaten up by Yue since the elven woman never seriously hurt him, but being beaten up by that hooded man was definitely a big no-no! Due to his panic, Sebastian didn\'t notice what Wesley did. The old elf\'s eyes narrowed at the lynx because from Nox\'s tone, it seemed like the latter had witnessed what happened to Sebastian firsthand.

.....

Inside Yue\'s room, Kyle stood before the table with a cold expression. He snapped his fingers, and a few symbols lit up mid-air before vanishing into the barrier he had erected around the room.

He never thought someone would see through the barrier he made with spiritual energy and masked with divine energy. It was fortunate he sensed it right away when a supreme rank individual peeked inside his barrier using their consciousness.

He did consider severing that part of the consciousness completely with the help of his mental power and spiritual energy, but he knew he couldn\'t afford to make enemies stronger than him, at least not when someone he now considered precious was by his side and his actions can potentially bring harm to them.

Kyle glanced at Yue. She was sleeping peacefully with a smile on her face, and his expression softened.

It was as if the earlier coldness had vanished, and the person exuding that cold yet threatening aura had changed into someone else altogether.

Kyle stepped toward the bed and made sure the blanket was securely tucked around Yue\'s body. He glanced at her for a few seconds, then he grabbed the edge of his hoodie and slipped it off his body.

He placed it on the bed before sitting on the floor half-naked to meditate until Yue woke up naturally. He didn\'t want to disturb her, especially when the expression on her face was so calm and beautiful.
