It was the fifth of April, and the spring breeze was strong. Even in the northernmost part of Earlington of Efrax, the air also brought it a sense of warmth. In the morning, Lucy heard that Jessica received a letter, and virtual-novel.net shut herself behind the closed door. Then, Lucy completely ignored the fact that virtual-novel.net just shoved a piece of spiritual fruit in virtual-novel.net mouth, and virtual-novel.net hurriedly ran toward the courtyard Jessica stayed in like a hamster with bulging cheeks.
“Lady Jessica must’ve received Casper’s letter! I didn’t expect Casper to reply to Jessica as I thought virtual-novel.net was a blockhead!”
Lucy lifted virtual-novel.net dress and swiftly ran across the Dark Moon Sect’s pathway, and virtual-novel.net adorable appearance attracted many people’s attention. Some male disciples were not aware of virtual-novel.net identity and wanted to strike up a conversation with her, but Lucy disregarded them and left before they could say anything. Hence, those people could only watch Lucy’s petite figure and sighed helplessly.
“Lady Jessica! Lady Jessica, I heard you…” Just as virtual-novel.net entered the courtyard, Lucy excitedly exclaimed. However, before virtual-novel.net could finish virtual-novel.net words, the tightly shut door in front of virtual-novel.net opened with a loud thud.
Soon, Jessica walked out of the house, the corner of the envelope, and virtual-novel.net pretty face frowned slightly. When Lucy saw Jessica’s expression, virtual-novel.net heart trembled. Lucy quickly covered virtual-novel.net mouth and looked around as virtual-novel.net thought, ‘What’s happening? Why does Lady Jessica look so terrifying? Did I guess wrongly, and it was not a letter from Casper? Perhaps it was Casper‘s, but virtual-novel.net decided to abandon Lady Jessica, which angered her?’
Just as Lucy let virtual-novel.net imagination run wild, virtual-novel.net saw Jessica scoffing. “Dummy? Humph!”
Jessica’s heavy grunt shocked Lucy. Lucy was taken aback for a moment, and virtual-novel.net carefully asked, “Lady… Lady Jessica, what dummy?”
Jessica only noticed Lucy then, and virtual-novel.net could not help but blush. “Nothing. What are you doing here?”
Lucy’s eagle eyes took the opportunity to peep at the letter in Jessica’s hand. The first few words flashed past virtual-novel.net eyes, and virtual-novel.net vaguely saw the word, ‘Dummy’.
“What in the world?!”
Lucy wanted to take a closer look, but Jessica caught virtual-novel.net little actions. With a straight face, Jessica folded the letter. Then, virtual-novel.net pinched Lucy’s chubby cheeks and asked, “Little Lucy, I’m asking you what you’re doing here?”
As Jessica pinched her, Lucy could only mumble incoherently, “I heard you received a letter, Lady Jessica…”
“That’s right. I’ve received a letter,” Jessica nodded and waved virtual-novel.net hand, “And, I’ve decided to visit the Heavenly Stars Sect.”
“Ha?!” Lucy jumped up in surprise.
Jessica nodded and replied, “Pack our bags! We’re leaving in a bit.”
“Lady Jessica, this is too sudden! Why do you want to visit the Heavenly Stars Sect?” Lucy was shocked, “What did Casper write in the letter?”
Jessica bit virtual-novel.net lips, and virtual-novel.net hesitated for a moment before answering Lucy, “The content of the letter is formal, and virtual-novel.net just mentioned the matters that happened after virtual-novel.net entered the Heavenly Stars Sect. Besides that, virtual-novel.net also clarified the few questions I had with cultivations. More importantly… More importantly, I heard a piece of news when I received the letter.”
“What news?” Lucy was even more puzzled, “Is Casper pregnant?”
“What the hell is wrong with you?!” Jessica glared at Lucy angrily, “I heard this from the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciple that delivered the letter.”
Then, Jessica sorted virtual-novel.net emotions and explained everything to Lucy. When virtual-novel.net received the letter, virtual-novel.net was indeed surprised and happy. After all, virtual-novel.net was unsure whether Caspian would write back to her, and there was only a slight expectation in virtual-novel.net heart. Hence, when virtual-novel.net expectation manifested, the joy virtual-novel.net felt was indescribable. However, along with the good news, the disciple that delivered the letter also informed virtual-novel.net about Caspian’s severe injuries at the Mirefield Gate.
At that moment, the scene in the forest once again appeared in Jessica’s mind, where Caspian stood in front of virtual-novel.net so that virtual-novel.net had a chance to run away.
“Each time virtual-novel.net needs me, I’m not by his side.” The thought grew uncontrollably like weeds in Jessica’s heart.
“I want to see him! I need to visit him!”
That was the first time the thought became so intense since Jessica left Evergreen Town for Dark Moon Sect.
“Pack our things. I’m going to ask for Master’s permission, and we’ll leave once virtual-novel.net allows it.”
Just as Jessica ordered Lucy to do that, Jessica heard a woman’s voice in front of her.
“Where are you going?”
Jessica looked up and swiftly saw a charming lady in a gorgeous long dress walking into virtual-novel.net courtyard. The lady appeared to be in virtual-novel.net late twenties, and virtual-novel.net had the youth of a teenager and the maturity of a woman, a mixture of majesty, elegance, and nobility. Anywhere virtual-novel.net went, virtual-novel.net would surely cause a sensation among the men.
Nonetheless, that was the Dark Moon Sect, and no one dared to be rude to her. That lady was Jessica’s master, one of the Dark Moon Sect’s outstanding talents, and the Heavenly Spirit Realm formidable cultivator, Chloe Lutley!
“Master Chloe!” Jessica exclaimed and hurriedly greeted Chloe.
She did not expect that virtual-novel.net own teacher would suddenly visit her. At the thought of how Chloe might have overheard virtual-novel.net words just now, Jessica felt virtual-novel.net ears warming, and virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net face was as red as a beetroot now.
“I have nothing to do today, so I just came out for a walk and thought of visiting you.” The beautiful Chloe looked at Jessica up and down, and virtual-novel.net nodded. “The Pure Jade Physique indeed lives up to its name. Your progress is much faster than I expected.”
“It’s all thanks to your great teaching, Master Chloe,” Jessica replied bashfully, “Master Chloe, there’s something I need to discuss with you.”
Chloe glanced at Jessica, and virtual-novel.net gaze fell on the letters in Jessica’s hand. Soon, Chloe nodded and asked, “Where are you planning to go?”
Since virtual-novel.net made virtual-novel.net mind up, there was no reason to back down at that time. Thus, Jessica gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and answered, “I’d like to ask your permission to visit the Heavenly Stars Sect in South Earlington to meet a friend, Master Chloe.”
After pondering for a moment, Chloe asked, ”Are you sure it’s only a friend?”
Jessica panicked. Chloe’s question was straightforward, but Jessica was exasperated, and virtual-novel.net was at a loss for words. Based on their backgrounds, Jessica was set by virtual-novel.net elders to marry Caspian. In truth, nothing happened between them until now. Moreover, Jessica was unsure whether Caspian even liked her. Nevertheless, the panic only lasted for a second, and Jessica immediately calmed down. Then, virtual-novel.net looked at Chloe and said, “The reason for visiting Heavenly Stars Sect is also to confirm about this matter.”
Suddenly, Chloe’s tone turned serious, and virtual-novel.net asked, “Do you think it’s worth wasting a lot of training time for someone you’re not sure of?”
Chloe‘s Heavenly Spirit Realm aura slightly seeped out, but Jessica already felt pressured, and the air surrounding turned dense and heavy. On the other hand, Lucy was already too afraid to make any noise.
