"By the way, there is one thing I don't understand," Stormjade family head said, eyes narrowing with suspicion.
"Sun Moon Lake's influence only affects those at or below the Tribulation Transcendence realm. With your strength, young friend, Sun Moon Lake is powerless against you."
Ethan's reply was casual and almost playful. "Master Stormjade, don't worry yourself too much. I only came here to fish."
With that, Ethan turned and began to leave.
Only the Stormjade family head, Eunice, Luna, and a few others remained behind—left behind, confused.
"Fishing… are you trying to bluff me?" the Stormjade family head wondered inwardly, but said nothing aloud, instead smiling and affectionately embracing Ethan.
Ethan hadn't gone far when the head of the Emberveil family's voice rang out sharply.
"Little friend Aether! Wait a moment. We have something you must help us confirm."
Ethan halted, turning to face the direction of the call.
"What matter could that be?" he asked, curious.
