Chapter 360: Master?

Aria took out an item from her storage ring, then created a projection in the air. It showed a picture of three people: Luca, Emily, and Alex.Her heart beat loudly since this confirmed her question. It was the Edward she was looking for, her one and only husband.

But MingYue eyed Aria suspiciously. She felt this was too much of a coincidence.

How could they find out Luca and Alex had come to this place?

"Are you Lady Aria from the Zephyr clan?" MingYue asked while walking in front of Luca, blocking her path.

She already knew the jig was up the moment Luca reacted, but MingYue still needed to make sure they were all safe.

Aria had silver-white hair with the same pupil color.

Her eyes locked on MingYue, "Yes, I am. Is that a problem?" Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

MingYue's eyes darted between Aria and Ming Tian. Based on the information she got, Aria had already planned her visit here for a week.

This meant she somehow found out this information. She started suspecting they had something to do with Alex's disappearance.

Luca put her hand over her shoulder, "I understand your concern, MingYue, but I need to find this out to the end."

"Aunt, let me make sure of it first," MingYue replied.

"So, you did use a fake name," Ming Tian said with a chuckle.

"How did you know we were cultivators?"

"I don't know how, but your method of hiding your cultivation is very good. But unfortunately, you are not a good actor.

When I entered the room, you looked me in the eyes.

That is not something a normal civilian would do. My presence alone would make them kneel on the ground."

MingYue didn't know about this since her cultivation realm was not that high yet. A normal person seeing her would just give a respectable bow.

"I see…" MingYue mumbled while Luca walked to her side.

She then returned her appearance back to normal. "Bring me to my husband."

Aria raised her eyebrow, then studied her appearance once more. Her eyes then focused on the ring on her finger. After a moment, she quickly gave her respect.

"Disciple Aria greets Madam Luca. I hope you can follow me to meet up with Master," Aria said while lowering her upper body.

Her hands were clasped together in a unique gesture: one in a fist while the other was an open palm.

"MingYue, let's follow them. We will know the answer after that."

MingYue still hesitated. Going with them meant giving them a chance to get trapped, but seeing how insistent Luca was, she knew she couldn't reject her request without having conflict.

She could also feel the gaze from Emily and Zold, silently conveying their agreement to go with them.

"Alright, Aunt, let's go."

Ming Tian smiled, "Since you already found them, I will leave you to your own task. Don't forget the reward you promised."

"Don't worry, Tian, you know I always do what I say. I will send my maid tomorrow to give you the reward."

"Good, now I need to take care of the problem from your admirers."

"Don't be too hard on them. They don't mean it in a bad way."

"You say it like I can do anything to them without losing a skin. I am just a small ant trying to survive this harsh world," he replied with a laugh, then left the area.

Left alone, MingYue asked, "So we are going to the core region?"

"Yes, but not now. I need to do another task for my Master's. It's not something complicated; I just need to capture someone making trouble in the central region."

"Who?" MingYue asked while she had a bad premonition.

If the one she targeted was Yang Fei, that meant they would cross paths with Ming Tian and the others. It would complicate matters.

"I think you don't know about him. He is a fugitive who escaped from the core region, someone my Master has been looking for years. Only lately have we had some clue on his location."

"Aria, can you show the picture?" Luca asked.

Just like MingYue, she had a bad feeling. If Edward was here, that meant the others were also here, and one of them possibly was a traitor.

Aria pressed some buttons on the device, changing the image she projected.

"Uncle Silva?" Emily mumbled in disbelief, her eyes glued to the projection.

Lightning crackled in the air as Zold's emotions stirred.

"No way! Why would the Guild Master look for my father like a criminal?

I know how loyal he was. There is no way he would ever betray them."

Luca, meanwhile, didn't know what to say. The details were too murky now for her to decide. But if Edward did this, she was sure he had a very good reason to do so, and there was a big chance he was the traitor.

Aria's eyes glimmered with frost qi as she looked at Zold, "You are his son?"

MingYue made a move, then blocked her path.

"I don't know the details, but what do you plan on doing, Miss Aria? You will not hurt any one of them under my watch."

"You think you can block me?" Aria asked.

"You can try," MingYue replied while her crimson eyes glinted with a green hue.

Aria frowned, seeing this, as she felt strange energy from her.

"Let's not fight. We don't know the details yet," Luca suggested, trying to calm the situation down.

"Of course, Madam Luca. As long as he doesn't escape, I will not do anything."

But Aria's words only landed on deaf ears. Zold didn't care about this now. That incident had cost him a lot.

If his father was really a traitor and the cause, he would never be able to forgive him.

"Where is he? Where in the central region?"

"He was last seen in the panda bamboo grove. We will go there before going back to my Master."

But Zold didn't want to wait. He wanted to confront his father directly by himself, without any outsiders.

Thunder rumbled once more, followed by the sound of swords clashing and an explosion that destroyed part of the wall.
