Chapter 440: Ruth's Departure 1
"Now I can finally take the time to go to the Black Plain!" The black-haired girl muttered in a low voice as she indicated for her great eagle to land on the spot in that great city that lay ahead of her.
As she followed her path to that spot, this young woman had a sweet smile on her face as she thought of the person she most wanted to see right now. 'Oh, I cant wait to see you, Minos!'
'I'm preserving myself this whole time because of you...' She thought as her face blushed softly, and she felt a heat rush through her body.
That was the young disciple of Minos' mother, Ruth Miles, who had gone so long without giving news to this young sovereign.
She had returned to the Flaming Empire after the Spiritual Tournament ended. After that, she spent much of her time cultivating and training in the sect.
But that was not all, because, with the responsibilities that every disciple had, from time to time, this young woman had to go out to solve missions, like the one she had just finished.
Being a disciple of a large sect was not easy, and for talented people like Ruth, the demands were even greater than they would be for ordinary individuals.
But while this made life difficult for talented people, it also helped them reach much higher heights, helping them become experts much faster!
As a result of the training and missions she had enlisted to complete, this young woman had already reached level 50 for over six months. It would only be a matter of weeks before she reached the next breakthrough!
'Ahh, if it weren't for this mission, I'd be in the Dry City by now...' She thought inwardly, feeling a little anxious about meeting Minos.
In the time she had passed, this young woman had discovered that she had deeper feelings for Minos, something that wasn't just a sexual desire.
In fact, Ruth had previously thought that after she went back to her sect, she would probably be interested in other men and that maybe Minos was just a passing, casual relationship.
Ruth was pretty attractive, and even before meeting Minos, she was already being courted daily by many disciples in her sect. And such a thing had not diminished after this young woman returned from the Black Plain!
However, after more than two years without seeing that young man, she had not taken him out of her mind and had not taken any interest in the many who tried to court her.
"Hmmm." Ruth responded, with her face slightly flushed. She had already told these two that she would take a long trip to the north of the Central Continent to spend time with Minos after performing these missions.
Mona then stared at Ruth for a moment and then asked curiously. "I understand you want to go visit him, but why do you want to spend so much time there? Don't you mind having your cultivation delayed because of that?"
"I don't care. It will only be a few months... So, it won't make any difference." She said promptly without any hesitation.
"And where is his territory? You never told us anything, even after we've been friends for so long..." Kara complained as she pouted her pink lips. "You could at least tell us his real name."
Obviously, Ruth would not betray Minos' trust by talking about these essential things with anyone other than his mother, Maisie.
As much as these two were far from their families and had a good relationship with Minos, one letter would be enough for young Stuart's peace to end!
"You'll find that out in the future, hehe." She commented, closing her eyes for a moment and smiling. 'Ahh, I imagine he's already stronger than me right now...' She thought inwardly, feeling that he would be the one to help her in training and not the contrary.
She then played with the two young women. "Maybe I'll take you two there when you reach level 50, hehe..."
"Oh? But wouldn't that be a bad thing? Minos would probably only see how much better we got when we came to the Flaming Empire while he stayed in that backward place..." Kara commented with a slightly frustrated look.
For her, a young man like Minos should be in the best places in the world, getting stronger and becoming someone dominant who defines his own destiny.
That was the kind of man who attracted her!
But Minos had made the disappointing choice to stay in that place...
"I think he'll be fine..." Ruth commented vaguely with a smirk at the corner of her mouth. "But what about your brother? Do you have news of him?"
"Yes, haha. Ford seems to have been accepted as a disciple of one of the elders of his sect. Because of that, he has already reached level 46!" The red-haired girl commented proudly.
"This is amazing! By the way, Kara, that Spiritual Tournament finalist, Troy, is in the same sect as your brother. Do you know what level he's at now?" Mona asked with slight redness on her face...
"About this..."
