Celestial Bloodline

The ground floor of the building was shrouded in palpable tension as the elves cast glances at Wesley. The old elf walked before them with a solemn expression. He couldn't believe they hadn't found the one who had beaten up Sebastian. Also, to top it off, Sebastian, that idiot, couldn't even identify the person who had attacked him.

"Who the hell gave such a useless person the chance to come here with the others?"

Wesley shot a stern look at Sebastian, and everyone understood who the old elf was referring to. The other supreme rank elf let out a sigh and approached him.

"Let it slide. I don't think the one who harmed Sebastian is an enemy. If they were, they would have killed him by now instead of just beating him up. Our kid likely got on someone's nerves, and that someone retaliated."

Sebastian wanted to argue that he hadn't made contact with anyone except the elves who came with him. So, how could he have gotten on someone's nerves? However, he refrained because he knew the folks in front of him wouldn't treat him like his father and just brush off his slip-ups.

Wesley rubbed his temples. After a long minute, he solemnly nodded. He wanted to send the youngsters away, but the supreme-rank elf stopped him.

He looked at the older man in front of him, who then informed him that upon hearing about what happened with Sebastian, the other supreme rank elves had decided that instead of letting the kids waste time, it would be more beneficial to divide them into groups and go with them to explore some tombs together.

Wesley nodded. It wasn't a bad idea. He glanced at the young ones and started talking with Oldeus, the supreme rank individual standing opposite him.

After a while, they used an emblem that was given to every elf under them before leaving the planet, and sent some signals to call everyone to gather.

It didn't take long for over one hundred additional elven men and women to show up outside the building. Wesley and Oldeus also stepped out from the building and began waiting with the young ones for the other youngsters who had not yet arrived. At that moment, two more supreme rank individuals appeared in the air.

One of them was an old woman, and the other was a cyan-haired male elf who seemed to be in his early forties.

Wesley greeted the cyan-haired man respectfully, and the man acknowledged with a nod. Ronan was the most powerful among the four, having already reached the pinnacle of the supreme rank.

Ronan looked at the gathered crowd and requested the older woman next to him to explain everything to the youngsters when they all arrived, as he could see that many faces were missing.

His eyes moved towards the lynx seated in the distance, observing everything with a bored expression and he started looking around for the beast owner.

There were a few other elves in the crowd with bonded beasts, but none of those beasts came close to the lynx that had reached the pseudo-divine rank.

Ronan had encountered Nox before on the ship, and he had also conversed with Yue because he sensed that her aura was akin to the few elves who were stronger and more refined than the rest.

However, upon not locating Yue, he looked at Wesley to ask about the beast's owner. But unfortunately, he got no reply as Wesley had also just noticed that Yue was absent from the group of elves.

Wesley furrowed his brows and scanned the area. Yue should have arrived earlier than everyone else since she was one of the elves staying in the same building as him. So, why wasn't she here? He spotted Nox and hastened towards the beast.

"Hey, little one, where is Yue? All the elves received the signal to gather, she should have as well. What is she doing?"

He extended his senses to ensure nothing was amiss with Yue, but genuine shock filled his eyes when he didn't sense the elf! Wesley spun around, but before he could react, Nox climbed onto his shoulder and let out a yawn.

"Don't worry, she is sleeping."

The old man looked at the lynx who had just spoken and let out a sigh. He almost had a panic attack, fearing that just like Sebastian, Yue might have faced some problem as well.

Wesley chuckled to himself because if something had truly happened to Yue, her bonded beast wouldn't be sitting so calmly before him. Yet, why couldn't he sense her presence? Had she left the building? He gazed at Nox for an answer.

"Sleeping? But I can't sense her? Don't deceive me, little one, it wouldn't be good for you. Has she secretly wandered off? If so, it's fine; after all, many others have done the same. There's no need to lie."

Nox's eyebrow twitched as he shifted his body around the man's neck, wearing a solemn expression.

It had been more than a few hours, and the bright day had transitioned into afternoon since he left the duo alone, and he couldn't help but wonder if they were still up to what he had seen before. But when he closed his eyes and tried to communicate with Yue, he sensed from her peaceful emotions that she was truly sleeping.

Sensing his silence, Wesley let out a sigh and attempted to reach for him, but before the man's hand could even touch the

lynx, the latter slipped away from his grasp. Nox snickered and gazed at the old man.

reach for him, but before the man's hand could even touch the lynx, the latter slipped away from his grasp. Nox snickered and "I'm not lying. She underwent intense training under Glacia before joining your group, so now that she finally has some peace, it's natural for her to rest as much as possible. Don't worry about her. She will join us once she wakes up."

Wesley's eyebrow twitched. Why did it feel like the lynx was bossing him around? He massaged his temples and looked at Ronan to let him know, only to see the cyan-haired man observing him and Nox.

Ronan had overheard the conversation between him and the lynx as he stepped toward the lynx and the old elf.

Wesley furrowed his brows when the man across from him suddenly narrowed his eyes at the building, almost as if sensing something he couldn't. Ronan looked at the lynx, his brown eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of incredulity because he had just sensed a powerful concealment array crafted around a room to hide everything inside from the outside world.

"She is indeed sleeping but..."

He stopped his words midway and he shook his head, thinking he shouldn't interfere in other people's affairs.

If Yue had allowed someone into her room willingly, she must have had her reasons, or perhaps she knew him personally. Ronan had just recently returned to protect the youngsters participating in the Gladiator Arena and doesn't have much knowledge about her or any other elf under him.

Moreover, the individual he sensed with Yue... he wasn't strong, just a divine rank human. He couldn't be an enemy as well because Ronan didn't sense even a speck of dark energy from his body.

'He may be weak, but his knowledge of arrays is quite profound. If I didn't have some understanding of them, I wouldn't have been able to detect the array.'
