Chapter 99 - 94

The silver haired young man opened the strange door. Chun remembered this door and the last time she saw it, it was still surrounded with chains but oddly, there were no signs of it.

Titus was beside Chun as he was also curious with the mystery door. He had been living in the silver box and there had no been door on this space but it just emerged when the silver haired young man encountered the youth who had the same bloodline that connected both of them.

The silver haired young man was curious to the mystery door as it was calling her by instincts, it was compelling her to grab its knob and unveil it. Chun neared the door and grasp a hold of the doorknob.

The deity didn't stop her from opening the door as he had an interest of its inside. It has been months when that door appeared and it never gave this kind of reaction which made Titus to be interested on what might it held.

'A room full of treasures? An ancient secret manual? Forbidden Cultivation art? Or something more good than those?' Titus thought as he was becoming more delusional than ever. It might be an effect of being trapped and alone of this silver box for hundreds of years. 

Creak!

The door sounded as the silver haired young man opened it. Bright illumination descended on their vision as they closed their eyes. 

Feeling that the inside was still calling her, she stepped inside. Leaving the other curious party. Titus who was about to follow the silver haired young man suffered a hit on his nose as the door suddenly closed by itself, not willing to take him in.

The deity of Prevalent Tragedy frowned as he held his aching nose, he glared at the rude door and conjured a chair for himself to wait upon the silver haired youth. 

Even though, the door didn't allow him in, he could still asked Chun about the specifics of the room. Titus smugly smirked at the silently closed door.

The silver haired young man's sight was greeted with an unexpected scenery. She thought that the door would withold something precious but infront of her was a black space and nothing else. 

Chun frowned from the strangeness. Seemingly, the place had no hints of world energy but a strange yet familiar one was present. 

Suddenly a string of silver light came on her line of sight as it neared her. The shocking thing about it was, coming closer in a fast speed towards her spot. Chun didn't know what to do as she tried to summon her deity powers to deflect it but the black space was somewhat restraining her from using it while she was affixed on her location.

Having no choice, the silver haired young man covered her face with her arms as the light was so bright that incapacitated her sight and this was the only helpless way, she could think of to protect herself.

'Am I going to die?'

"What are you?" Chun asked as she tilted her head in confusion. She was inspecting the odd ball of light and she felt a familiar aura on it. As if she crossed paths with it from before.

She started to recall the past events and even the present but she didn't see anye memory resembling this ball of light. 

Somehow the ball of light knew what she was thinking as it flew to some direction and paused when the silver haired young man didn't follow.

Observing its gesture, Chun inquired, "You want me to follow?"

As if understanding her, it bounced up and down and continued its movement. With no hesitation, Chun followed the ball of light to an unknown direction.

The black space had no any means of knowing where you were going as it was just all back and nothing else. The silver haired youth even suspected that the glinting ball that she was following was somewhat tricking her as this place was hopeless to navigate into.

But those suspicion of Chun immediately went away when she saw a suspended person covered with silver light. It was encasing a sleeping young man while he laid afloat in midair.

Chun widened her eyes when she had a clearer view of the individual.

-----

The butler was checking his watch from time to time as he awaited for his young master, two hours had already passed and the silver haired young man didn't came back yet.

The expressionless butler was calm at the surface but in fact, he was worried for his young master. If the silver haired young man didn't returned another hour, he would destroy that silver box or bring it to the Demon King in order to persuade the other to open it as he would be killing that scum deity.

The deity who was innocently waiting for Chun to come out from the door: …

Art immediately stood up as a light appeared infront of him. An appearance of youth with silver hair, blue-green eyes and her ethereal beauty momentarily stunned the butler.

The butler couldn't deny that he was mesmerized by the otherworldly features of the silver haired young man and that light made it more enchanting as if a goddess went down from the Mountain Qi.

"Art?" 

Immediately, the butler snapped back from reality. He noticed that he had been losing self-control these days which was not good for him and the young master. No matter what, he must restrained it. If he had no choice, taking a leave and gaining his self-control was his only way to be a deserving butler by Chun's side.

If Chun had knew what he was thinking, the silver haired youth wouldn't be agreeable of the butler's decision.

Art with a straight face responded, "Yes, young lord?"

The silver haired young man didn't notice the peculiarity of the butler as she inquired for the upcoming tournament.

"Young lord, the girl Rin came a while ago and said that there will be a meeting for the World Winter Tournament, tomorrow afternoon."

Hearing that, Chun narrowed her eyes as she knew that this was coming.

----

Harconia Institue, Gathering Hall.

Chun almost arrived late as the meeting was about to begin. The headmaster didn't commented on his tardiness as she was still a newbie but the other instructors didn't approved her behaviour.

The silver haired young man had a retentive memory and she specifically remembered what would transpire at this time. 

Whispers evoked around as they commented at the appearance of the newbie.

This was their first time to see the reputed White Prince of the students and the handler of those talentless students as most the instructors of Harconia Institute were always not aroud due to their close door cultivation or sometimes more inclined on teaching their students than to do unnecessary stuffs like wandering around the institute which was just a waste of time.

Most the teachers were professional on their fields that they hated people that were this free like this silver haired youth. From observing the aura of the handsome young man, she exuded a carefree vibe that was disapproved by some of the teachers.

Although, the headmaster discreetly helped her from taking the attention of the people on her but it was no needed as she was unaffected by their criticisms because she almost had memorized their 'funny' comments.

"Good Morning, fellow educators of Harconia Institute! I called all of you here to discuss about the upcoming 205th World Winter Tournament that would be held in our continent, it is our turn now to host this grandest event and the most awaited tournament by martial practitioners worlwide," Headmaster Spinther stated.

Many instructors were all excited about this event as it was the 205th World Winter Tournament. An event that could make martial practitioners show off their prowess and be recruited by revered sects. The tournament happened once in three years, individuals that were martial practitioners could participate in it. Nonetheless, there were mini tournaments during that time, like mind games, forging artifacts, concocting pills and inscribing runes or diagrams.

"This year's theme is School Victory which means that every representing school in each continents would be participating. It's not like the last tournament that even solo cultivators can participate, this is a tournament between schools." He continued.

Chun advertly glanced at some direction as she smirked at the person. 

'What if she don't voice out her unwillingness to join to any tournament for the teachers? What will happen next?'
