"Well, if Senior Sister comes, I will definitely entertain you with delicious food and drinks," Ethan said with a wry smile, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.
Lyralei nodded slightly, her expression calm but carrying an undertone of urgency.
"It's getting late, I'll leave first."
Just as she turned, Ethan called out, "Senior Sister, wait a minute. There is something I need to tell you."
She paused, turning back with a raised brow.
"What is it?"
"I have stayed in the Demon Sealing Cave for a time," Ethan began thoughtfully,
"and I am very familiar with the demonic energy there. Recently, when I went to Azure Sky Peak on some business, I sensed a trace of aura—one very similar to that demonic energy—emanating from an elder named Ashen. I suspect..."
His words hung in the air, heavy with implication.
Lyralei's brows furrowed, her composure tightening like a steel trap. "I understand," she said quietly, but with finality.
