*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
In the middle of the night, someone aggressively knocked on Arvina’s room.
“Who is this!?”
Arvina questioned in an annoyed tone as she sat up.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Since the knocking on the door still continued, Arvina stood up from her bed and walked towards the door with an angry expression on her face.
‘Is this isn’t something very important, whoever it is, he or she will pay dearly for ruining my sleep’
Arvina swore inwardly and aggressively opened the door.
“You better have a good reason-”
However, before she could even complete her sentence, she paused.
“Nux?”
She questioned with a frown.
Yes, the man who was knocking on her doors for so long was none other than her student.
A student who…
“Shouldn’t you be in the Woods Dynasty right now?”
Arvina questioned with a confused look on her face.
“Teacher Arvina, we need your help.”
However, unlike his usual playful smile on his face, Arvina noticed that Nux was looking at her with a nervous and somewhat desperate look on his face.
Arvina was even more confused now.
She has never seen this expression on Nux’s face.
“What happened?”
Arvina questioned.
However, instead of answering, Nux just turned his head and looked in another direction, Arvina frowned, however, before she could ask, another woman walked out and appeared in front of her.
A woman she knew very well.
“Ember…?”
Arvina narrowed her eyes.
“It has been a while, Arv.”
Ember smiled lightly.
“What are you doing here?”
Arvina questioned in confusion.
“Teacher, we need your help, Ember left the Woods Dynasty and now is looking for a place to hide. No other place came into my mind and I brought her help.
Please hide Ember in your mansion, Teacher Arvina. I beg you.”
However, those words did not lessen Arvina’s confusion at all, rather, they only increased the number of questions in her head.
“Left the Woods Dynasty? Why? Aren’t you a General of the Woods Dynasty’s army? Why do you want to hide here? Who are you hiding from? What happened?”
“Things are bad…”
Ember muttered and this time, a solemn look appeared on Arvina’s face.
She looked at Nux and questioned in a tone that demanded answers.
“What happened in the Woods Army Camp? Why are you here so suddenly? Why is the General of the Woods Dynasty here with you? And who are you running away from?
I need answers to all these questions, and do it as clearly as you can.”
Nux then looked at Arvina and with a serious look on his face,
He answered,
“An Emperor is making a move.”
Arvina’s eyes widened.
“What?”
“Yes, so what happened was…”
Nux then started recounting whatever happened until now in detail and an hour later, Arvina, who, right now was sitting inside her room, on a chair, with her hands on her chin and an extremely serious look on her face, summarized.
“So you are saying that Lord Herms is making his moves and has taken control over the Solid Earth Kingdom. The Kingdom is now completely changed, with close to no criminals roaming around. Not only that, but the Kingdom has also started recruiting strong Sect Members, Wandering Cultivators, and Adventurers into its ranks and now have 7 King Stage Generals in their army?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
“You have reported all of this to your Dynast, however, that man is still stuck in his past and wants to use this opportunity to weaken your influence and then pressure you into marrying him?”
“Indeed, he thinks that since I am making all of this up and nothing I reported to him was true. He told me to deal with all this on my own and is not willing to help me at all.”
Hearing those words, Arvina frowned,
“How does that make sense? With your past achievements as a General, it is clear that you are not someone who would make this up.”
“He is nothing but a fool. He is not thinking things through at all, with him as the leader, the Woods Dynasty will face heavy losses, however, the problem is that the one suffering from this would be Ember.
If she stays there and fights, she would lose her influence when the War ends and she loses, if she quits and refuses to lead the Army, she would be called a coward and would be blamed by others as someone who fled in front of difficulties, this would affect her influence as well.
No matter what step she takes, things wouldn’t end in her favor at all.
Therefore, I told her to leave that messy situation and brought her here.”
Nux answered and then, he continued,
“And now, I want your help and request you to hide her here. No matter how dumb that Dynast is, won’t dare to search inside the Strongest Kingdom in this world, especially not inside the Academy that is the heart of that Kingdom.”
Arvina looked at Nux and a small smile appeared on her face,
“Nux, you look a little mature now.”
“Hmm?”
Nux frowned.
He matured?
When?
Why didn’t he notice anything?
“Well, I don’t know how to say this, but I definitely feel that you changed a little, don’t worry, we will analyze this together.
As for your request, I accept it.
General Ember helped and guided you, as your teacher, it is my duty to help her when she needs it.”
A big smile appeared on Nux’s face.
“Teacher Arvina, you are the best!
I love you!”
Arvina just chuckled and shook her head.
Ember, however, looked at this situation with an amused smile on her face, and soon, she nodded her head.
Suddenly, Nux stood up from his chair and looked at the two women in front of him with a smile on his face.
“Well, this is good, now that General Ember is living here, you two old friends can catch up to each other.
As for me,
Well, I have to meet, so I would be taking my leave now.
You two have a good night ahead.”
Saying that, Nux turned around.
However, just as he was about to leave, Arvina noticed his cultivation.
“!!!”
