Female Novel
Chapter 2273
Soon, James came to the mountain range where ordinary disciples lived.
He walked over to Melany's small courtyard house and gently knocked on the door.
He knocked for a while, but no one responded.
‘Is she not home?’ James wondered to himself.
Then, he leaped over the fence and entered the courtyard.
No one was around the courtyard, and the door to her house was shut tight.
“Who’s there?”
A voice came from inside, and footsteps approached. Soon, the door was swung open.
James parted his lips and greeted her, “Melany…”
Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that Melany’s body was covered in injuries. He could nothelp asking, “What happened? How did you get hurt?”
“It’s you, James! You’re back?”
Melany said smilingly, “I’m alright. I’ll be fine after cultivating for some time.”
Then, she beckoned James into the house. Her house was very tidy.novelbin
Melany went and made some tea for James.
James looked at Melany’s bruised face and the injuries all over her body. He also noticed thatthrough her collar, there were bandages around her neck.
“Have some tea, James.”
Melany served a cup of tea to James.
James stared at her and asked, “What’s going on? Are you getting bullied?”
“N-No,” Melany replied instantly.
James said, “You can tell me. I’m Sir Yoan’s disciple now. I can help you resolve the matter.”
“I’m really fine.” Melany sat down.
James knew she had a good heart and that there was definitely something going on.
“Melany, you brought me to the Welkin Academy. You’re my savior, and it’s my duty to protect you.Tell me, and I’ll take care of whoever is bullying you.”
James said a lot to persuade her.
Finally, Melany was willing to tell him the whole story.
She had gone out to train with a few other disciples some time ago. They encountered rare elixirs inthe mountains and plucked them. When they brought it back, the elixirs were intercepted in theWelkin Academy.
The elixirs they brought back were stolen.
Moreover, the people who snatched their elixirs beat her and her companions.
After learning the whole story, James asked, “Who was it?”
“It was members of the United Alliance. They’re a very powerful force within the Welkin Academy.Even though you’re Elder Yoan’s disciple, we can’t afford to offend them, James. Plus, the elderswon’t intervene in the grievances between disciples.”
Seeing Melany’s timid attitude, James knew she had gone through a lot.
“It’s alright. I’ll avenge you. I’d like to see how strong this United Alliance is.”
Melany quickly dissuaded him, “Forget it, James. Just let it go. The United Alliance’s leader is theInner Disciple of the Welkin Academy’s headmaster. He’s powerful, and I heard he’s reached theImmortal Ascension’s Ninth Stair. He’s really close to the Mage Rank and has already gone to Earthfor the boons there.”
Melany was worried James would offend the United Alliance for her sake.
“Let’s just go on with our business and not cause any trouble in the Welkin Academy.”
“He’s at the Immortal Ascension’s Ninth Stair?” James sneered.
When he first came to the Welkin Academy, it was impossible for him to fight against someone likehim. However, things have changed. His physical strength was already at the Immortal Ascension’sSeventh Stair.
Although he was still inferior to someone at the Immortal Ascension’s Ninth Stair, Melany had saidthe United Alliance’s leader was no longer in the Welkin Academy but on Earth.
“Let’s go.”
James stood up and pulled Melany out of the house.
“Forget it, James. Just forget it. We just came to the Welkin Academy and shouldn’t cause anytrouble.”
Melany begged him pitifully.
She did not rely on her own strength to join the Welkin Academy but was accepted only because ofJames, which caused a lot of talks. If they were to cause trouble and anger the elders, she would beexpelled from the Welkin Academy within minutes.
Her hometown, Kineallen City, was dominated by the Zaydons.
