262 Leaving The Core

The beast gave her a ride to reach the outer area of the Core, Jen learned many things during her stay, most of all she was able to change the minds of those experts, it seemed they were only limited to the tasks of Core and rarely see the world from surface.

This caused a gape for them to understand the necessary diplomatic behavior of the Defender and it resulted a deep misunderstanding, Jen was contented to solve the problem, now her great grandfather was not alone she could hope.

"I think two of us should visit Defender Hacienda soon," Yongjie suggested to the other core experts as soon as Jen left.

"I agree," the senior nodded.

Jongjie and Yongying were sent to represent the core and meet the Defender personally.

"Greetings Defender Xuan Rong," both experts deeply bowed to express their respect for the Highest Standing of the Celestial Sphere, Xuan Rong welcomed them, he was surprised and curious as well, how come these Core Experts made their minds to admit him as Defender after many decades?

He warmly welcomed and gestured them to sit on the exalted seats suited to their great job of saving the Core.

"I am honored to meet these respected experts of my Sphere," Xuan Rong spoke.

"We are greatly honored to meet Highest Being of the Celestial Sphere," they also spoke in unison.

"May I ask If the senior Expert is also well?" Xuan Rong and the senior expert had some strong disagreement back then and he knew that he was still angry.

"Indeed, senior expert sent us with the dispatch, from now on the Core will be backing every decision made by Defender Xuan Rong for the protection and betterment of the Sphere," Yongjie conveyed the content of dispatch*

Xuan Rong was more surprised now, what caused this sudden change in the attitude of the Core toward him?

"Though this dispatch is clear but can the core explain?" he directly asked Yongjie.

It was not small matter, this dispatch was not simple words, everyone know what it means for backing someone, after few decades this dispatch was sent and he was right to ask to address his confusion.

"To be honest, the Core met with the young girl Jen Xuan Rong, she told that she will be fighting for the Highest position, because we find her suitable for the competition we thought to provide her necessary backing when the time comes, since she told that she is granddaughter of Defender Xuan Rong, we are willing to render any help because we felt she is capable," Yongjie slightly bowed after explaining.

Xuan Rong stood up from his seat, now he was shocked, how come Jen ended up in the Core? Was she alright?

"We have given our words, now we may leave," there was certain level of honor and elegance in the Core Experts and Xuan Rong was aware of this, it was necessary for them to have such attitude, they were after all core Experts.

Xuan Rong was thinking her words, when Jen left Defender Hacienda, she said she would prove that she was capable enough to stand alone, and he laughed at her childish claim thinking how terrible place was this Sphere.

The Core Experts who never give him face came to visit him today and told that small girl was capable and they will backing her position in the future, his granddaughter was on the mission to prove herself? He asked himself.

Now he has some trust that she could prove it in the future too, he should forget about the idea to find a husband for her to support her position.

Oblivious to the ongoing development, Jen was standing alone at the outer edge of the Swan Lake, only a smaller part of the Swan Lake was located outside the core.

She sat at the bank of the lake and took out the shining ball, the senior told that it would help crystal bead safely leave her Acmes Pair.

It was only pearly white ball from appearance, the texture was unknown to her, she thought to study it too perhaps it could be more helpful.

This place was not safe for her breakthrough.

"She does not seem to be part of the Core," the man mumbled, it was the same stealer who tried to ambush her but later decided to return back.

He went back because he had a notion that if he attacked on her, the expert might appear and he would be doomed but now after looking her again, she seemed only punished and now she was free, he could see there was no more sign of text on her forehead.

He came and sat at the opposite bank.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

Jen looked toward the opposite bank of the lake and scrutinized the man, "I thought this lake is not property of anyone so I decide to sit and learn, is there anything wrong with this fellow?" Jen immediately remembered who this fellow was.

"If you are not among the members of stealers or the hidden clique, you should not wander here," he advised.

"What is hidden clique?" Jen was aware about the stealers but what was this hidden clique? She never heard about it, right?

"I am not oblige to explain, I only came to warn," the man waved his hand and went back.

…..

The woman and her friends who got slapping by the wings of the beast were fuming, "It was because of that bitch," the woman spoke with anguish, "She must have broken the illusion," after giving it several thoughts she grasped this inference.

"Is she really part of the core because it seemed impossible, the core don't allow weaker people and add in the respected members," her friend spoke this time.

The woman was once the respected member, later she deceived and core threw her out of the core, she made her gang of veterans to get the beast, she knew the beast was powerful and if she was able to get it, her strength would increase hundred fold.

But a random small girl ruined her plans at the final stage.

"I really hope so, but there is no possibility left for me to get escort sentient," she spoke dejected.

"Come on, you are beautiful, just get a husband, and I am sure he will be glad to protect you," the man spoke meaningful.

"You stay in your limits," the woman warned, she could understand his meaning very well.

"I am going to take bath in the lake then we'll be leaving," she stood up and walked toward Swan Lake.

"I can also accompany if you allow," the man was bent on his purpose.

The woman answered with a silent look and walked away.

She alone reached Swan Lake and her eyes fell on the girl.

"Did Yongjie throw you away after his purpose?" she sneered at the girl.

"Don't talk rubbish about senior expert," Jen was angry now, this woman has a lethal tongue and she knew very well how to use it.

"Oh, is it because you fall for him?" the woman got her words in a wrong way.

The beast who was flying above squinted eyes at her words, this beast was truly terrifying, it personally came to check that Jen left cautiously, because the surrounding region of the core was filled with hidden enemies and stealers, they only look for a chance to steal or bully weak.

Since yesterday, they had a conflict, it was apparent that the woman did not leave yet.

It lowered its wings and flapped, the woman was again sent flying, "I am sorry miss Jen for being rude toward another woman but she deserve," the beast explained his action in case miss Jen get angry at it.

"I can handle my problems but thanks for coming and caring," Jen slightly bowed with respect.

This beast was cute in her eyes, and its transparent attitude was loving, usually beasts resort tricks and cunning methods but this one was different.

"I hope I could see you in future," Jen left waving her hand, her Acmes Pair were filling to the brim and she needed to find a place as soon as possible, if she breakthrough amid enemies then she was done for and she cannot stay around the Swan Lake because the beast would have to come and take care her.

It would spoil her habit of self-care and this would be bad for her future ventures, the beast saw her leaving and nodded.

This girl was truly reserved and it never met such a human before, well his master was exception, it returned back to the core.

Whoever lived under the core was not allowed to wreak havoc outside the core despite knowing that enemies were hiding in pursuit to steal some treasure.

If the Core wasted time on enemies then the tasks would be left incomplete and this can be grave mistake.
