“Ah?”
Upon hearing Sullivan’s arrangement, Lachlan was momentarily surprised.
“This way, you won’t have to go back and forth, saving you time, right? And you can get things done quickly and return to the sect.” Sullivan explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lachlan thought it wasn’t a bad idea and agreed, “That’s fine! Just need to trouble my big brother.”
“Kyrie, he’s just idle anyway, hahaha…” Sullivan laughed.
Lachlan couldn’t help but smile…
After chatting with his master Sullivan for a while, he hung up the phone.
The other party repeatedly reminded him to be careful outside.
Lachlan didn’t pay much attention to this; his only concern was Nora’s safety.
Once Kyrie took Nora back to Broken Pulse Sect, Lachlan felt that there should be no problem.
Soon, he would meet with the people from Fiery Dragon and Sun Moon Sect, and even travel to Sun Moon Sect.
The Ancient Willis family’s attempt to harm him didn’t seem threatening enough, especially after the demise of the Diretide they sent last time, although they might not be aware that it was killed by the two other powerful individuals from the ancient Wynter family.
They probably wouldn’t dare to easily send anyone in the short term, right?
At this moment, Lachlan didn’t know that danger had already started closing in on him.
It was because he had previously left the Priocia region and even crossed a vast expanse of sea by ship, causing certain tracking methods to temporarily fail.
This even confused the other party, giving him a brief period of tranquility.
…
That night!
Slocmore!
This was the final place Lachlan had stayed before heading out to sea.
“Wicked Bone, can you still track that kid’s whereabouts?” A disheveled, eerie-looking man named Cyan Ghost, addressing the Wicked Bone inside a residence, coldly asked.
This man was another assassin under the command of the chief elder: Cyan Ghost!
Beside him, there was an old man who looked gentle and kind, with white eyebrows and beard.
If one didn’t know better, they would think he was a kindly old grandfather.
However, this old man was even scarier than Cyan Ghost, and he was another one of the chief elder’s subordinates, White Demon.
“We should! He has the blood jade on him, so we should be able to track him.” The Wicked Bone, facing these two, appeared somewhat frightened and anxious as he quickly spoke.
“We should? His aura has been cut off for several days now.” White Demon “kindly” laughed, sending a shiver down the Wicked Bone’s spine.
“Could it be that Lachlan lost the blood jade? It shouldn’t be, Summer, that despicable woman, died trying to save her daughter.
Knowing Lachlan’s personality, he would definitely keep the blood jade on him.
Even if he had lost it, I should still be able to track the location of the blood jade.” The Wicked Bone muttered to himself aloud.
Just then, someone grabbed his neck.
Cyan Ghost, with a grim expression, coldly spoke, “Wicked Bone, are you playing tricks? The chief elder mentioned before that you might have ulterior motives, are you coveting the heritage on Lachlan’s body?”
Upon hearing this, the Wicked Bone quickly shook his head.
He had indeed coveted it at first, but now that the chief elder knew about Lachlan, the Wicked Bone dared not think further.
Just then, the bone-made apparatus he used to track the blood jade suddenly fluctuated.
“Got it! I got it!”
…
Meanwhile.
A stunning young woman was strolling through a mall in Slocmore.
Violet Willis, a young lady from the Ancient Willis family, was filled with curiosity about everything around her.
At this moment, she was dressed in modern attire, with low-rise jeans, a crop top, and cute sneakers.
She also had earphones in, listening to music.
It seemed like she had forgotten everything else…
In truth, it wasn’t entirely her fault.
Her family head, Hayden, and her grandfather had given her a “dragon scale” at first, but it suddenly stopped working once she arrived in Slocmore, following the trail of the “heir.”
Violet tried various methods and even contacted her grandfather, but nothing worked.
Violet could only hope for a breakthrough where the “heir” had last appeared.
But as she entered a high-end bag shop, ready to splurge, the dragon scale on her started to react.
“Huh? Another reaction?”
Violet was surprised, her eyes lighting up.
…
The next day at noon, Kyrie arrived as planned.
At noon, Lachlan cooked a table of dishes at home and picked Nora up from kindergarten.
Miranda also rushed back from work!
Even Miranda, who had helped restrain Nora’s condition, was grateful to Kyrie.
“Uncle Kyrie!” Nora sweetly called out upon seeing Kyrie.
“Oh, what a good girl!” Kyrie picked up Nora and planted a kiss on her cheek, showing a doting expression.
“Big brother, Nora has never been so affectionate with outsiders, not even when she saw her grandpa.” Miranda said with a smile, seemingly teasing.
“Oh? Haha, oh my, my dear niece.” Kyrie laughed heartily and didn’t let go of Nora.
Seeing this, Lachlan also smiled with relief but deliberately put on a stern face, pretending to be displeased, “Big brother, when you take Nora back to the sect this time, you can’t let her suffer anymore.”
Upon hearing this, Kyrie blushed and looked embarrassed.
He coughed and explained, “Lachlan, this is my fault! You know, I’m usually not in Broken Pulse Sect; I’m always at the Reverse Destiny Tower.
That’s why I left Nora at Fairy Peak.
I never thought anyone there would bully Nora.
Lachlan, rest assured, I won’t leave after taking Nora back to the sect this time. I’ll stay in Broken Pulse Sect and personally teach and take care of our little princess. I won’t send her to Fairy Peak again.”
Kyrie patted his chest and reassured Lachlan.
“Alright, big brother, I was just speaking, I didn’t mean to blame you.” Lachlan said with relief and a smile, waving his hand.
