Hearing Niya's caring voice, Sha Duo's irritability eased a little. Then he took out a cup from his pocket, poured a cup of tea for Niya, handed it to her hand, and watched Niya take it.
, he then spoke:
"It's not meditation. It has nothing to do with meditation. I'm just a little confused."
After all, it was about the soul. Xia Duo hadn't figured out how to speak yet. After a few words of prevarication, he quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about it anymore. You just contacted Her Highness the Princess. How is the situation?"
Niya could tell that Xia Duo had something to say, but since Xia Duo didn't want to say more, she didn't continue to ask, and instead talked about her own affairs:
"I just contacted the teacher and told me that we were going back to the Southern Territory. The teacher asked me to get some information about the background fluctuations of the magic network, so that I won't delay my research when I go back. In addition, she reminded us not to miss the New Year celebration next month.
."
"Um."
Sha Duo nodded absently. If it were normal, he would definitely ask Niya if the information needed to be kept confidential, but now, he focused on the New Year celebration.
A great arcanist reminded us that the New Year celebration next month must not be as simple as a simple award ceremony!
Considering that the Seven Towers are dedicated to spreading his reputation, maybe there is some unknown connection between the two?
For a moment, Xia Duo's mind was racing with thoughts. Such random thoughts that he couldn't see the whole picture simply stretched his head.
Xia Duo told Niya his guess about the New Year celebration, but Niya didn't understand it very well, "Of course we can't miss the award ceremony. The teacher knew that we were going to return to the south, so he reminded her specifically, wouldn't it?
Are you thinking too much?"
"over thinking?"
Chateau shook his head and showed a wry smile, "Did you know? Now your husband's name has been spread to Danzo, Ilfaran, Erlan, and Cormanso, and there will even be more, just in these two days.
Within days!”
"ah!?"
Niya was surprised at first, then pleasantly surprised, but then she reacted, "You mean this was done intentionally?"
"Yes, and it is related to the Seven Towers. Archmage Greta should know a little bit about the inside story, but she asked me not to delve into it and just pretend it never happened." At this point, Sha Duo became a little silent.
But Niya suddenly looked at him strangely, and said somewhat suddenly: "So you were worried about this before!"
"Yes, this kind of reputation is too vain and makes people feel uneasy. This is not what I want." Xia Duo did not deny it. He would always come up with this.
It's just that he still hasn't thought about whether to say anything about the situation related to the soul.
Xia Duo's words made Niya a little silent. It is indeed difficult for them to refuse something decided by a superior. Of course, they can refuse, but what is the price, or what are the consequences of refusal?
Niya could feel the teacher's concern for her, but it was hard not to feel suspicious of this kind of care coming from a superior person.
In comparison, she cares more about Xia Duo, her husband who was witnessed by the Lord of Glory. The longer they get along, the more she can appreciate the real closeness and care from Xia Duo.
Thinking that Xia Duo was facing some unknown risk at this moment, Niya was confused, but soon she made her decision.
"Then, when we return to the southern border, we won't come to Severton! No matter what teachers and others have planned, we just don't have to go!"
Niya's voice trembled slightly, but she said firmly, "After the New Year celebrations, I will beg the teacher to forgive us!"
After hearing what Niya said, Xia Duo was a little moved, but he knew that once such a matter was decided, how could it be possible for him to get out so easily?
Although everything outside seemed calm now, he already felt like he was on the cusp of a storm. At this time, he had no other choice but to rush forward.
Xia Duo is actually willing to give it a try. After all, at his level, there is no way he can be a cannon fodder.
It was just that damn cloud that made his soul a little overwhelmed. What should I say about such a thing!
The problem seemed to have returned to its original point. Looking at Niya's soft and firm eyes, Xia Duo didn't know how to speak, so he just stepped forward and gently hugged Niya.
At this moment, even the elemental balance field attached to the robe cannot stop the blending of the two people's body temperatures, at least psychologically.
…
After a moment of tenderness, Xia Duo felt much more relaxed and his mind was much clearer. He caressed Niya's back and it felt particularly real.
"We still have to go to the New Year celebration, maybe things won't be what we thought."
In fact, this matter is not something that Xia Duo can decide unilaterally at all, let alone that Niya is trying to break up with him. What he is really worried about is not his reputation or the New Year's celebration, but the new clouds.
Even if they return to the southern border, as long as the Seven Towers continue to "propaganda", the knot of this problem will still remain unsolved.
However, after his mind calmed down, Xia Duo suddenly realized a point that he had ignored - if he encountered such a situation in the past, what would he do? Or what would happen?
The answer may have already existed, but excessive attention made him ignore it, that is——
A new round of bloodline awakening!
Perhaps because he can now directly sense the soul and observe the cloud, he focuses on the cloud and its impact on the soul, but ignores that the cloud itself can also bring about the awakening of the bloodline.
Perhaps this was the first time he actively realized the progress of his bloodline awakening!
Thinking of this, Xia Duo let go of Niya, looked into her eyes, and said: "Go and get the information Her Highness the Princess gave you. We are going back to the south now!"
"okay!"
Niya's face turned red, she straightened her clothes, and rushed out the door. Xia Duo also tidied up the residence and took away all his personal belongings.
After a while, he received a subpoena from Niya. She had obtained the information, and the two made an appointment to meet in the transmission room.
…
After many twists and turns, Xia Duo finally returned to the Tower of Time on his first day back to the main plane. When he walked out of the teleportation room, he comforted Niya and immediately teleported back to his original residence on the sixth floor.
The mage's tower was well ventilated. Although the old residence had not been lived in for a long time, there was no smell at all. Xia Duo simply made the bed and lay on the bed, closing his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that a large puddle of water would be left almost every time when the bloodline was awakening, Xia Duo would have preferred to hold Niya in his arms and sleep while she was awakening. Now he could only sleep in separate rooms.
Silently counting one, two, three, and under a strong subconscious suggestion, Xia Duo naturally fell into a deep sleep without the help of sleeping magic.
