The man's face twisted slightly, but after he heard Nyra's words and saw her figure running toward them, his expression eased. "Nyra."
The woman also greeted her.
Zerra cast a doubtful look toward her sister. Her eyes were full of questions. Nyra avoided her eyes, making her doubt deepen.
"Are you going to come with us?" The man asked.
"I will need more time," Nyra said slowly.
"But you already said–"
The man abruptly cut off the woman's words. "Alright." He glanced at Zerra. "Take your time."
The woman's expression cracked, but the man didn't seem to care much. He took the woman's hand, and before he started to drag her away, he told Nyra. "We will be waiting for you."
However, after they had just taken a few steps, he dropped a bomb on Zerra. "You… don't hold your sister back. She has a talent for cultivation and has promised to join us. She even exchanged the promise to save you."
With that, they walked away faster, leaving the two sisters rooted to the spot.
