Chapter 248 - Cultivation convention(5)

"Why does that name sound familiar?" nick asked curiously. millea spoke up at this point "he was the only person capable of traveling the void safely." she said seriously. nick looked enlightened at this "i remember now elder sun mentioned that his master subhuti was interested in me at the academy." he said seriously. millea nodded "that sounds like him though it is a bit odd that he hasn't approached you yet." she said slightly bothered. "normally he would have approached you in some sort of display of profundity by this point so the fact he hasn't is very unlike him." she said airing her concerns. "now that's quite rude of you to speak ill of others behind their backs." a smooth male voice says from the side of the group causing them all to jump like at cat with its tail stepped on. the trio look over and see an old man with a simple appearance covered in a loose white martial robe leaning on a staff calmly. millea specifically looks horrified at the old man like hes the most dreadful thing she ever saw. "don't look at me like that millea you break this old mans heart." he said.

Millea shook her head "speak of the devil and he shall appear." she said spitefully. nick tries to get a sense for the old man but to him it felt like a simple mortal stood before him but he knew better than that. "i'm going to ȧssume you are subhuti from the reaction millea had to you." nick said seriously. the old man nodded "indeed i am he and you are the little fellow married to millea while the other is the child of the welk clan patriarch." he said with a hint of amusement. nick looked irritated at what the old man said. "i am not married to her." he said showing his irritation. the old man looked even more amused when he heard what nick said and a sly smirk crossed his face. "i am going to guess that millea told you that she intended to marry whoever took in her bloodline if they were worthy correct?" the old man asked still smirking. nick could tell that something was off about this situation but couldn't help but nod in confirmation. the old man smirked even wider at this nod while pausing for dramatic tension.

"did you know that natural born gods such as millea are incapable of outright lying?" the old man asked still smirking . nick shook his head meaning he didn't know about it. "yes they are entirely unable to lie however that doesn't mean that they have to say everything when they speak." he paused watching the wheels turn in nicks head and smirked even more when a look of realization crept on nicks face. "what millea didn't tell you was that when you took in her bloodline you basically proposed to her and she accepted meaning for all intents and purposes you are indeed married.." the old man said with a chuckle when he saw the horror on nicks face.
