Chapter 837: Crazy Conspiracy (Part 2)

"Could it be that you’re attracted to her?" Kenny Lin’s calm voice sounded in her mind as he noticed Amalia staring at Sehyun Wang.

The calmer he was, the more likely it was that he wasn’t calm at all.

Knowing him very well, Amalia responded, "Impossible."

"Then why were you staring at her?" Kenny Lin asked persistently.

"How long is your ’staring’?"

"One second? Fine, maybe two seconds."

"Get lost..."

Despite the tense atmosphere, the two were having a lively conversation in their heads, unbeknownst to anyone.

Neither Hana Yun nor her Nascent Soul-stage guard were of any concern to them.

Completely unaware, Hana Yun sneered, "Sehyun Wang, since you’re so determined to protect him, fine, if you have the ability, protect him for life. Don’t let him leave Skyward City!"

Sehyun Wang furrowed her elegant brows. "Hana Yun, don’t push it too far."

"No one who’s ever dared to strike at me has lived longer than one hundred days." Hana Yun shot a murderous look at Kenny Lin. "We’re leaving!"

With a dramatic flick of her sleeves, she stormed out of the City Lord’s Mansion, followed closely by her two remaining guards.

"This is troublesome. Hana Yun is extremely vindictive and never gives up until she gets what she wants. From what I know, none of the people she’s targeted are still alive," Sehyun Wang said, her face grim.

She then added apologetically to Amalia and Kenny Lin, "I’m so sorry, this is all my fault. I shouldn’t have invited you here."

"No need to apologize, Miss Wang. We came here of our own free will; it has nothing to do with you," Amalia replied casually, clearly not taking the situation too seriously.

Sehyun Wang thought to herself how kind Amalia was.

If, in the end, Kenny Lin didn’t like her, together with her seemed like a good alternative.

"Without my suggestion, you wouldn’t have come here in the first place, so it’s still my responsibility."

"Hana Yun will probably station people outside the city now. The moment you leave Skyward City, her men will immediately act. So, why not stay for a while longer? When my father returns, I’ll have him assign a few powerful guards to escort you out."

"When will your father return?" Amalia asked curiously.

Sehyun Wang instinctively replied, "At the latest, it could be two or three months."

Yuri wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

And her question inadvertently revealed that they had long known the City Lord wasn’t in the mansion.

After she finished speaking, Sehyun Wang noticed Yuri’s expression and finally realized her mistake.

She quickly glanced nervously at Kenny Lin, afraid he would be angry upon discovering her deception.

But Kenny Lin, who had known the truth all along, showed no reaction.

Sehyun Wang let out a sigh of relief but couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.

She wasn’t sure what exactly she was disappointed about.

"Two or three months is too long." Amalia, who had been preparing meticulously, was planning to go to the devil battlefield soon.

The sooner she completed her business with Wealth, the sooner she could rest easy.

Sehyun Wang bared her teeth awkwardly and glanced at Yuru again.

Realizing her mistake, Yuri immediately refused.

"My lady, I cannot leave your side. That’s the one thing I will not agree to."

"But..." Sehyun Wang hesitated.

Yuri was the only powerful person she could summon.

"No ’buts’." Yuri looked at Amalia and Kenny Lin. "If you two don’t have any pressing matters, why not stay at the City Lord’s Mansion for a few more days while we think of another solution?"

Amalia chuckled lightly. "Running away isn’t really our style."

"Are you really planning to fight your way out?" Sehyun Wang asked in shock, then quickly shook her head in disapproval. "Hana Yun’s bodyguard, Yuji, is a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. You two won’t be able to beat him. Besides, she has Harmonywood City backing her. The City Lord of Harmonywood is notorious for being protective. As long as Hana Yun complains, the City Lord will certainly step in for her."

"She’s not the only one with a powerful backer," Amalia said nonchalantly.

Sehyun Wang froze for a moment.

Did that mean they had a strong backer too?

They had stayed at the mansion for three days, but she still hadn’t been able to figure out which faction they belonged to.

In her heart, Sehyun Wang didn’t want Kenny Lin’s background to be too lofty, because even if she liked him, she might not be worthy of him.

But now, she was starting to hope their backing was strong.

From the very beginning, both of them had displayed an extraordinary aura.

It would be hard to believe that people like them didn’t come from prominent families or powerful factions.

Compared to Sehyun Wang’s surprise, Yuri seemed much more composed, as she had already been mentally prepared.

"If you two really have a backing as strong as Harmonywood City, that would be even better," Yuri said calmly.

"As strong as Harmonywood City?" Amalia chuckled softly.

Yuri squinted slightly, catching a trace of condescension in her tone.

This wasn’t the attitude someone from an ordinary background would have.

These two were probably from a more powerful background than she had originally thought.

She suddenly had a premonition: maybe Hana Yun was about to run into a wall this time.

Sehyun Wang’s heart sank in despair.

She could hear it too.

And because she could hear it, she felt the distance between them growing wider.

Yuri gave her a calming glance.

They still didn’t know their true origins, and the situation was too unclear to draw conclusions.

However, now was the perfect opportunity to probe for more information.

"Judging by your tone, it seems like you look down on Harmonywood City. Could it be that you both come from a prominent family?" Yuru seized the chance to inquire.

"Not at all. We’re just humble cultivators from modest backgrounds," Amalia replied, understanding their intentions.
