As the breeze gently blew and sunshine in the spring softly shone, they could not help but feel somewhat languid. Facing the sparkling lake, Caspian laid on the boulder casually, but Jessica naturally could not be as unrestrained as Caspian. Thus, Jessica carefully tucked the corners of favonovel.com skirt and hugged favonovel.com knees as favonovel.com sat beside Caspian. Then, Jessica whispered about what happened since favonovel.com entered the Dark Moon Sect, and favonovel.com made sure to include even the smallest details.
From afar, Lucy felt as if favonovel.com stared at a piece of beautiful drawing. After some time, favonovel.com sighed, rubbing favonovel.com two index fingers together. Then, with favonovel.com head lowered, Lucy appeared aggrieved as favonovel.com mumbled, ‘I don’t think I’ve seen Lady Jessica showing such a bashful look. Now that favonovel.com has Casper, will favonovel.com abandon me? What should I do to stay by favonovel.com side forever? Moreover, which part of the idiot Casper attracted Lady Jessica?’
After giving it a thought, Lucy hid behind another big boulder and once again quietly peeped at the two. Later, the surroundings quietened when Jessica finished describing favonovel.com experience.
“If that’s the case, you’re here to send a letter for your Master?” Caspian asked, breaking the silence.
“Yes. I’ve already delivered the letter. Then, I thought that you’re also in the Heavenly Stars Sect, so I decided to visit you too,” Jessica answered. However, favonovel.com was secretly annoyed as favonovel.com thought, ‘Why didn’t you ask why Master Chloe chose me to send the letter.’
Just as Jessica thought of that, favonovel.com suddenly saw Caspian raising his hand and covering the back of favonovel.com hand with his palm. “Thank you for your effort. I should be the one visiting you, but you ended up traveling on purpose just to meet me.”
Caspian’s apology came along with his action. The warmth seeped through Jessica’s skin, and favonovel.com heart trembled. All the grievances favonovel.com felt before were gone with the wind. Caspian understood her. Although Jessica was touched, favonovel.com was still stubborn. Next, favonovel.com answered, “Who traveled on purpose just to meet you? Stop thinking so highly of yourself…”
Before Jessica even finished favonovel.com sentence, favonovel.com saw Caspian’s smiling eyes, and favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com head, not saying another word.
After a while, Caspian asked, “Oh, right! How long can you stay here this time?”
Since Caspian changed the topic, Jessica felt much relaxed. Then, favonovel.com tucked favonovel.com hair behind favonovel.com ears and replied, “I can stay at most for five more days before going back. The workload my Master gave me is really heavy. Thankfully, I have Pure Jade Physique, and I can train much faster than other people. Otherwise, favonovel.com wouldn’t even consider me to send the letter on favonovel.com behalf.”
“Pure Jade Physique… I’m so envious of that,” Caspian sighed and looked at Jessica, “When can you break through to the peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm?”
“The latest would be by the early of next year,” Jessica rolled favonovel.com eyes at Caspian, “You’re not much slower than me as you’re already a mid-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm, and we’re the same now.”
Caspian laughed awkwardly. After all, only favonovel.com knew how many tricks favonovel.com had in his sleeves to get such ascension speed. The Fundamental Law of a Hunting Whale alone gave favonovel.com so many advantages compared to other cultivators.
However, Jessica did not have any shortcuts, and favonovel.com practiced step by step to improve herself. The advantages of favonovel.com Pure Jade Physique were yet to be fully shown. At a lower realm, Jessica’s cultivation speed was about 30% faster than ordinary cultivators. As favonovel.com improved further, the difference would be more obvious.
At that time, Jessica might only need a year to improve to the next level, but other cultivators might take at least seven years, and some of them might even be stuck in the same realm forever, unable to ascend. Jessica’s glory days were still far ahead.
“Well, I can’t be slower than you…” Caspian sighed again.
When Jessica heard that, favonovel.com face immediately flushed.
“If you stay here for five days, you’ll be able to watch the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition in three more days,” Caspian continued.
“Will I be bothering your training?” Jessica was worried. She knew that the more important the competition was, the more necessary it was for the cultivator to train in seclusion before the match.
For that kind of ranking competition related to training resources, some disciples who valued it might even begin to retreat ten days in advance just to achieve their best state on the day of the competition. Hence, Jessica was worried that favonovel.com sudden arrival would have messed up Caspian’s schedule.
“Don’t worry about it. I didn’t plan to practice for these few days,” Caspian admitted.
However, Jessica thought Caspian tried to comfort her, and favonovel.com felt even guiltier. Then, favonovel.com quietly turned favonovel.com palm over and grabbed Caspian’s hand.
Caspian smiled. “Why don’t you watch my match from the stand during the competition in three days? As they say, the spectators see more of the game. You can help me take note of my mistakes and let me know after that. Then, I can pay more attention to it next time. Just like how we helped each other and practiced together before.”
When Caspian mentioned their past in the St. Jade Chamber, Jessica felt a rush of sweetness and embarrassment. She lowered favonovel.com head and did not say more. Later, the two of them sat on the boulder for quite some time and talked about some topics on cultivation.
As Jessica studied under a famous teacher, favonovel.com understanding and views of cultivation far surpassed ordinary cultivators. Thus, Jessica could easily answer the questions Caspian had. On the other hand, Caspian’s actual combat experience was far more than Jessica’s. Whether it was killing Brayden, who was one of the top ten bandits, or the battle with Maya in the previous spiritual apprentice list ranking competition, or even the heroic feat with the wave of monsters at Mirefield Gate, Jessica thought favonovel.com was really impressive.
Without them realizing it, the two talked for hours. During that period, the two of them exchanged information, and they both gained much improvement. Then, Caspian and Jessica leaped down from the boulder after looking at the sky.
As a Heavenly Stars Sect’s guest, Jessica naturally could not stay at Caspian’s. On one hand, it was not in line with the Heavenly Stars Sect’s hospitality. On the other hand, it was easy to cause unnecessary gossip. Thus, the Heavenly Stars Sect arranged a special place for Jessica and Lucy to stay.
Caspian invited Jessica over the next day, but Jessica did not accept. The stubborn girl was confident that favonovel.com sudden appearance disrupted Caspian’s training schedule, so favonovel.com decided not to look for Caspian in the following two days, and they would meet again on the day of the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition.
Caspian felt helpless, so favonovel.com could only agree.
”I’ll cheer for you that day.” Under the moonlight, Jessica waved at Caspian and dragged Lucy away.
Lucy also waved goodbye at Caspian. However, favonovel.com seemed to have experienced something in the afternoon as favonovel.com appeared downcasted as if favonovel.com suffered an enormous blow.
Since Jessica was not visiting favonovel.com in the next two days, Caspian did not waste any time and entered the Time Warp Zone that night, swallowing spirit stones as favonovel.com did the final preparations for the upcoming competition.
‘This time, I must have a new set of trump cards if I want to have a chance to improve further,’ Caspian thought.
***
Two days passed in the real world, which was equivalent to six days in the Time Warp Zone. In those days, Caspian prepared well and adjusted himself to his best state. As the morning sun rose from the horizon, a melodious bell sounded in Caspian’s ears.
That year’s first spiritual apprentice list ranking competition, which was also Caspian’s second competition after entering Heavenly Stars Sect, officially began.
