Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Promised Time
"She..."
Eren looked down in disbelief.
"Was I sleeping for a month?" he asked incredulously. "How could she do all this in a single day?"
He could see that his disciple Wang Qingyu had finished creating a residence for herself. And the house she created looked even more luxurious than his own.
It was to the point that he felt slightly embarrassed when he thought about the place where he lived.
She had created a house from wood, but it was much bigger than he expected. Ten of his houses could fit inside her house.
Helped by the winds of Phoenix, he landed outside the house. That looked sturdy as well.
She had also created a fence around the house, to keep any potential beasts outside.
Eren looked at the wooden board on the fence, in which a message was written.
"Unauthorized intruders will be killed without mercy."
He couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.
"Is this girl the reincarnation of some civil engineer from earth or something?"
Eren jumped over the fence, landing on the other side. He couldn't see the girl anywhere on the mountain, which made him think that she was inside the house.
"Qingyu?" he called out but there was no response.
He pushed the door open, and entered the house.
After entering the house, he was even more stunned. The house looked good from the outside. But it looked even better on the inside.
There were multiple rooms, but the most shocking part was that all of them had furniture.
It was furniture that couldn't be gathered from the mountain.
"Looks like she had brought some of these things in her storage ring."
"Sigh, as a teacher, how can I be shameless enough to ask her to create a house for me. it would be too embarrassing."
He quickly dropped the idea before gesturing for the Phoenix to bring him up.
At first, he didn't notice it. But with time, he realized that he could send messages to the Phoenix with just his mind, without needing words.
Gentle winds wrapped around Eren, helping him rise in the air. There were still many hours left before his meeting with the unknown.
He had thought that he was going to spend that time with Wang Qingyu. He had thought that she would still be chopping wood to create her house.
Unfortunately, she had surpassed his expectations. And even worse was that she was sleeping.
"Should I go to the library again? My luck can't be so bad that I will find them there again, can it?"
After thinking about it, he once again dropped the idea. He still hadn't forgotten that dangerous feeling when the Sect Master was behind him.
"There is no guarantee that the Library would have any information about that in any case. And if it's a treasure of the other Overlords, they might even be suspicious about this question."
In the end, he justified his decisions and dropped the idea of checking the library without gathering more information.
He returned to his house and started waiting for the promised time of the meeting.
As the time drew near, Eren started feeling somewhat nervous. He didn't know who he was going to meet.
There were only a few people who could enter his house that was at such a dangerous location. They were all Elders or stronger in the Sect.
He really hoped it wasn't the Sect Master.
Soon, the time arrived. But no one entered through the gate. There was no presence outside.
The Phoenix also didn't sense anyone arriving towards his mountain.
"Are they running late?" Eren asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a strange pain in his heart. His heartbeat became irregular. His connection with the Phoenix was suddenly cut.
Not just the Phoenix, but he couldn't even feel Celeste.
He looked next to him. Celeste was still there, but she appeared to be frozen in time.
