Chapter 155: Chapter 155: So?

"When you leave, tell Ren to enter," Feng Yu said, her eyes sharp as they followed Nathaniel out.

Nathaniel exited the grand hall silently.

Feng Yu watched the Archbishop depart, her gaze shifting back to the letter next to her.

"That sneaky woman..." she muttered under her breath.

....

"I will escort you out," the Leader of the Guards said to Nathaniel as he stepped out of the palace gates.

With his mission completed, there was no reason for Nathaniel to stay here. The Sect Master hadn't asked for his presence beyond delivering the letter.

Moreover, although they didn't hate the Western Continent as much as the Southern Continent, they weren't exactly friends either.

Nathaniel nodded, not wanting to cause any trouble. His task was done, and now he could focus on the long journey home, even if it was going to be a tiring one in the absence of a ship.

"Your sect master wishes to see you," he informed Eren as he walked past. "Oh, and I really hope you are selected. You might get the opportunity to see the wonderful world we have created with the blessing of our goddess."

"Selected for what?" Eren asked, a sense of unease sneaking into his voice.

His schedule was already packed, and the last thing he needed was another responsibility. If he could, he wanted to find a way to excuse himself immediately and run back.

"How long are you going to make me wait?"

Feng Yu's voice echoed directly in his ears, breaking his hesitation.

Resigned to his fate, Eren sighed and stepped inside the palace.

This was the first time he was entering the palace. However, he had read the description of this place quite a few times in the novel he read.

The place matched the description completely. No, it looked even more beautiful than he had imagined. It was truly like a Royal Palace.

"Please tell me you're not thinking about sending me there?" he asked, his bad feeling getting even stronger.

"I'm not," Feng Yu responded.

Just as Eren was about to sigh in relief, she continued, "I'm not thinking about sending you alone. Elder Li and Elder Zhang will go with you as well. The three of you have recently taken a disciple each. Take them as well."

The sigh of relief disappeared before it could even reach the surface.

Elder Li and Elder Zhang? It was even worse than going alone.

Elder Li was the Frost Demon who was the master of the main character and also the person he had recently annoyed.

As for Zhang Wei, she was also a nightmare in herself. She was the first elder he had interacted with when he appeared in this world.

He hadn't interacted with her much after the sect entrance examination. If possible, he wanted to stay away from that Demoness. And now, he was stuck with those two, and that too for something like this?

"It might be a trap," Eren said.

Unfortunately, Feng Yu simply asked, "So?"

"I don't worry about myself, but if it's a trap, Elder Zhang and Elder Li might also die," Eren explained.

"Don't worry. I will take revenge for you," Feng Yu answered without much change in her emotions.

'Have revenge for me?' Eren's lips twitched in frustration.

What would he do with revenge if he was dead? It was more like she was using this as an opportunity to see what trap they might set.

He even thought that she actually wanted them to get hurt so she could have an excuse to break the treaty and invade the Western Continent.

"You three will depart next week. You can make preparations."

Before Eren could even react, she waved her hand. Qi surrounded Eren and forcefully sent him out of the palace.

"That b-" Eren landed outside the Palace, almost cursing out loud.
