Kapitel 169: Lira and Varen

Hearing the name Cloud Heavens Sect, Valeria's thoughts clicked into place. Of course—that's why the presence of that "Senior Sister" had felt so familiar.

This sect was renowned across the empire for its strict discipline and powerful disciples.

And if her instincts were correct, this Senior Sister was none other than [Lira Vaelan], known as the Silent Thunder. Her reputation was well-earned, as both a skilled fighter and a composed leader.

Valeria nodded to herself, her suspicions confirmed. Lira Vaelan wasn't the type to lose her composure over petty insults, and that much was evident in the way she handled the situation now.

"There's no reason for us to lower ourselves to such provocations," Lira said calmly, her voice steady and measured. She remained seated, her hands resting lightly on the table in front of her, not even sparing the boys another glance.
