Chapter 176: The People in The Sect

The woman has black hair tied in pigtails with freckles on her cheeks. Her slender body is quite short compared to the others.

She barely reaches Minghao's shoulder.

Hearing her words, Minghao smirked, "Hey, it may be my idea, but I didn't force any of you to follow me."

"Well, Minghao is not wrong, Suiyin," said another woman, her face smooth and attractive, with an hourglass body and the same height as Minghao. Her name was Yanyu.

"Why are any of you even looking for someone to blame? We all agreed to do this together," came a rough voice from a tall, lean man.

"Do you need to ask, Ruo? Because it's freaking tiring!" Suiyin complained, making the others laugh.

No one refuted her claim, as what she said was true. They were really spent now, barely able to move their bodies except for Minghao.

"Don't worry, guys, all of this will benefit us in the future, I am sure of it.

Train hard, study hard, eat, and sleep plenty. We will all become strong in no time," Minghao said excitedly while changing his posture from lying on the ground to sitting.

"Just where did you get this training method? Did it come from your master? Or your sister?" YanYu asked, turning her gaze toward Minghao.

Minghao doesn't hide the fact that he is MingYue's little brother. So they know he is not just a cultivator but someone important in their sect.

"Well, I cannot tell you where I got it. Just believe me on this," Minghao said with confidence.

It's not that he doesn't want to share where he got the method; it's just that MingYue forbade him from sharing it. And it's not like he knows where his sister brought it from.

He speculates if his sister has some master from the central region. Not in his wildest imagination did he think that MingYue got all those from another world.

Meanwhile, back in the Scorched Dune Labyrinth, inside the secret realm, Alex and the group returned to Blaire's mansion to recover.

William is now resting in one of the rooms, getting treatment from one of Blaire's people.

With Sasha in a coma for years, he had a whole medical team prepared just in case something happened.

Sasha, Aurora, and Blaire were now talking in private. Alex doesn't feel interested in what they are talking about. He could guess it's something about accepting Aurora into their life.

As for Lily, she was now sitting in front of Alex. She was dumbfounded by the information she just heard.

Alex didn't tell her everything; he only told her part of the story in which he made an agreement with Alice.

"If what you say is true, then for what did my comrades die?" Lily asked.

Alex sighed, "I am not saying for you not to seek revenge for them. Just wait at least until the fairy side is ready."

"Wait until they are ready!? Based on your story, aren't they the masterminds?

Even if it was the king that killed all of them, it only happened because it was their plan!" Lily said with a high tone.

"Then what do you propose? Reporting them to the Sentinel?"

"Yes! If we follow their plan, many civilians will also be sacrificed! Why should we be the ones to pay while they are the ones that want to come out from the shadows?" Lily asked.

Alex hasn't told her about the progenitor or the war; she just knows Alice and Aurora are some of the leaders of the fairy race, and they made this plan so they can join the community.

"It's not like they have a better choice. I am not saying what they do is right, but let's say you report to the Sentinel now.

Do you think it will be better?

The fairies also have figures as strong as your Sentinel. If they fight, the casualties will be immeasurable."

"But we have more people than them; we will win."

Alex could see the glint of hatred reflected in Lily's eyes. He knows even if he tells her about the progenitor and their war, she will probably not believe it. After all, the concepts were too far away for her.

He tapped his fingers a few times, thinking about what to say to convince Lily not to report to the Sentinel. Even though he is stronger than her, the idea of using his strength to force her didn't even pass his mind.

A small part of him felt guilty since he cooperated with Alice for his own selfish reasons.

"Look, Lily, if you do it that way, will your comrades be happy?

A war between races will have many casualties. What if one of their acquaintances and family becomes a victim?

Also, by doing this my way, your mom and brother's lives will be guaranteed. Rather than focusing on more war, isn't it better for us to make sure there are fewer civilian casualties?"

"Then what should I say to their families? That I cooperated with the killer of my comrades? How can I even face them?"

Alex sighed, "Try to calm yourself first, Lily. Then think again about what you really want to do and the situation we are in." S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Alex then stood up and walked toward the exit.

"Where are you going?"

"Don't you want your friends' bodies back? We returned in a hurry before, so we had no time to take their bodies."

"Wait, let me go with you then."

Alex stopped in his steps, then looked over his shoulder, "Only if you can calm yourself and follow what I said."

Alex says this just to be sure Lily won't do something extreme. He is not too worried since Alice has already met up with the king.

Based on what Alice said, they will finish preparation today and then start everything early in the morning.

Other than going to the forest, Alex also wanted to visit the restaurant to pay the bills and go to the auction.

Despite what happened, he didn't want to miss it. Who knows what kind of useful item he could get there.

"Fine," Lily replied.
