Soon, Scarlet noticed all the eyes looking at them, making her feel shy and self-conscious. She realized that she had forgotten about where she was and was being too brazen in public.
Hiding her flushed cheeks, Scarlet buried her face into Asher's neck and didn't dare look up again.
Seeing this cute action of hers, Asher couldn't help but chuckle, placing a hand on her head and stroking her hair, making Scarlet let out a pleasant hum. "Haha... Did you just blush from showing your affection to me? Don't worry. There is nothing wrong with expressing love in public. In fact, I'm proud to show the world that you're my girl.
It's not like it's the first time we have done something like this in front of others, so don't hold back your feelings for me. Okay?"
As he said this, he tightened his grip around her ass and kissed her cheek. This action caused Scarlet to feel shivers run through her body.
"Mmm... Alright, but can you please put me down now?" Scarlet mumbled as she couldn't help but give in to Asher's charms.
"Okay."
Asher nodded, and soon after, they heard a chuckle. When they looked in the direction of the voice, they saw Elder Katrina covering her mouth as she watched them with amusement dancing in her eyes.
Her lips were stretched into a wide smile while she giggled at the display of affection that Scarlet showed towards Asher.
"Oh my... Disciple Scarlet, you sure are bold, just like your mother, Elder Rias. And I have to say that she brought up a girl who has quite a daring personality."
Scarlet's face flushed an even deeper shade of red upon hearing those words. But despite her embarrassment, she didn't hide her face. Instead, she looked at Elder Katrina with a sheepish smile.
Afterwards, Asher proceeded to look at the others' results as well.
Asher was a bit confused by this. Why would anyone create something like this? What purpose did it serve?
Elder Katrina chuckled at his question, saying, "Well, this Pagoda wasn't created by us and is the inheritance of ancient times. So we can only guess that in those days, young disciples were much stronger than now."
At her words, Asher nodded, realizing that the geniuses of today can't compare to the ones of olden times. But this shouldn't be the case since each generation was standing on the foundation of their predecessors, and with every passing century, they would improve in their respective paths.
Therefore, how could there be such a big gap between these two eras? What happened back then for the current generations to not match up to them?
However, Asher decided not to dwell too much on this, as he had his own goals and things to focus on, which didn't include wondering about things like this.
"Anyways, enough about that. You should focus on cultivating and reaching higher realms as fast as you can." Elder Katrina interrupted his train of thought before changing the subject. "I believe that you have the potential to become the first person in the history of our sect to reach level nine of the Pagoda. So I encourage you to train hard and achieve this great feat."

As she finished speaking, she saw a smirk form on Asher's face. He replied with a calm and collected voice.
"Don't worry about it, Elder Katrina. I like challenges, and I enjoy testing my limits, pushing them further each time. And with such encouragement from a beautiful woman, how can I not work hard?"
"Oh my... You never change, huh? Always trying to flirt with someone." Elder Katrina shook her head with a smile as she said that before adding, "Now then, you have worked hard, so take some rest for the day. Tomorrow, you can go to special cultivation areas for your respective element affinity to practice cultivation.
These areas will help you cultivate faster and give you more insight into your elements. Use them well to improve yourself."
"Alright, I will."
After Asher answered her, he glanced at his five companions, motioning for them to follow him.
