Caspian naturally had his reasons for saying that. In truth, the other sects’ disciples thought so too. In the competition with the Blue Feather Sect, almost every disciple of the Heavenly Stars Sect had a very narrow victory, and they exposed their trump cards and means early. The situation was highly unfavorable for any sect interested in going further in the game. However, if they gave it a thought, the strength of a few people in the Heavenly Stars Sect was not fully exposed.
Xander, Jaime, Maya, and Caspian, a total of nine people participated in the competition, and the four of them already accounted for almost half of the places. Nonetheless, the few victories in the Heavenly Stars Sect were too impressive, so the four of them were automatically ignored by the disciples of other sects.
Naturally, Caspian was delighted with the situation. Nevertheless, Jessica did not fall for Caspian’s trick, and favonovel.com rolled favonovel.com eyes at him. Then, favonovel.com chuckled. “I’m not sure about the others, but I know you have many hole cards that you didn’t show just now. After all, that’s your style.”
“I agree, I agree!” Lucy suddenly appeared, and favonovel.com nodded hard.
“I don’t have many cards in my hands, but there are some skills that I’ve not shown,” Caspian admitted as there was no reason to hide the matter from Jessica purposely.
On the other hand, Jessica was satisfied with Caspian’s attitude, and favonovel.com eyes sparkled with joy.
Lucy peeked at Jessica from time to time and muttered in favonovel.com heart while watching. ‘Oh no! This isn’t good! It’s not good at all! As soon as Lady Jessica meets Casper, the idiot, she’ll smile foolishly. I read in those novels that if a man keeps making you laugh, it means you like him!’
Lucy’s eyes kept moving back and forth between Caspian and Jessica, and no one knew what favonovel.com thought. At that time, Jessica laughed and joked, “If that’s the case, do you want me to tell you the secret methods mastered by several seniors in my sect?”
”Really?” Caspian was surprised and happy.
“Of course not!” Jessica shook favonovel.com head, laughing happily.
Even though Jessica was secretly in love with Caspian, favonovel.com would not have done such a thing.
“What a shame! Maybe you can just leak a little information? I can also exchange some with you. For example, I can tell you that Solana has an innate Imperial Jail Deity Physique,” Caspian answered thoughtfully, “This is called mutual benefit.”
“I already knew about Solana!” Jessica rolled favonovel.com eyes, seeming to be angry at Caspian’s “shamelessness”. However, favonovel.com soon burst into laughter again, unable to hold back anymore.
After a while, favonovel.com stopped laughing and said faintly, “I wonder how the second round will be held.”
“At least it won’t be a ring match. If I meet you on the stage, I’ll surely be reluctant to fight,” Caspian said.
Jessica felt sweet in favonovel.com heart, but favonovel.com still reminded Caspian, “If we meet, you must not show mercy. The competition and our matters must be separated.”
Caspian looked at Jessica seriously for a moment and finally shook his head. “No, I still can’t bear it!”
In an instant, Jessica felt so warm and sweet as if favonovel.com melted into a ball of honey. Not only that, but favonovel.com glowed brighter and more beautiful as favonovel.com eyes curled with a smile, and favonovel.com leaned toward Caspian’s side.
“Wow! When did this idiot Casper learn to talk like this? Lady Jessica’s completely fallen head over heels!”
Lucy was anxious to death by the side. However, favonovel.com could not find a way to intervene, so favonovel.com could only worry internally.
After walking for a while, the three already moved from the competition area to the rest area in the Inner Circle. Then, Caspian led Jessica and Lucy to a tranquil bamboo forest. Without explaining much, Caspian took Jessica’s hand and walked toward the bamboo forest.
As the two walked, they talked about what happened after they parted before, and they laughed from time to time. Lucy just followed behind Jessica, listening to the conversation between the two with pricked ears, muttering a word or two now and then. At first, favonovel.com did not think there was any problem. However, favonovel.com gradually began to feel that favonovel.com seemed unable to keep up with Jessica’s footsteps after some time.
The other party did not deliberately speed up and walked unhurriedly, yet Lucy gradually could not keep up. In the beginning, favonovel.com could pick up favonovel.com pace, but later, Caspian and Jessica still walked, but favonovel.com needed to trot.
By that time, Lucy finally found that something was wrong. She anxiously shouted a few times, but something even creepier happened. Whether it was Caspian or Jessica, not only did they not seem to notice favonovel.com strangeness at all, but they did not even appear to hear favonovel.com shouting.
Lucy’s eyes immediately widened, and favonovel.com only felt an eerie chill seeping out from favonovel.com bones. She felt as if favonovel.com and the two people in front of favonovel.com were not: in the same space at all. Lucy could see them and even hear their conversations, yet they were completely unaware of their existence.
Just as Lucy was stupefied, Caspian and Jessica seemed to be walking faster. She blushed and ran forward desperately, but there was still a great distance between them. In the end, Lucy watched helplessly as Caspian and Jessica chatted happily, walking far ahead from her. The gap between them was so big that Caspian and Jessica were about to disappear from favonovel.com sight.
Lucy’s heart was suddenly filled with a chill for some unknown reason. It was as if favonovel.com was being abandoned.
“Lady Jessica! Lady Jessica, wait for me!” Lucy was teary-eyed, and favonovel.com once again shouted in the direction where Jessica disappeared. Then, favonovel.com wiped away favonovel.com tears and continued to chase after them. Now that favonovel.com was a cultivator, favonovel.com speed was much faster than that of a warrior. However, no matter how fast favonovel.com runs forward, favonovel.com still could not shorten the distance between herself and Jessica.
The figures of Caspian and Jessica became farther and farther away in favonovel.com eyes, and eventually, they disappeared. Lucy gritted favonovel.com teeth and ran forward for a while. Then, finally, an unprecedented sadness filled favonovel.com chest.
“Lady Jessica… Lady Jessica, what’s going on? Don’t you want me anymore?” Lucy stood in the quiet bamboo forest, and favonovel.com started to bawl favonovel.com eyes out.
After crying for a while, favonovel.com turned around, sobbing. When favonovel.com was about to go back to wait for Jessica, favonovel.com was stunned again. Lucy found that the road favonovel.com came from mysteriously disappeared. At that moment, Lucy was horrified to realize that favonovel.com did not know where to go, and there was no way out behind her.
Lucy was alone.
