Shortly after Aizen's group entered the ancient ruins, the six girls left outside looked at each other as if they were making a decision.
"Sister Feng Zhi, junior sisters, please believe me this time. Since they allow it, we better follow them. I will explain the reason later, we must not be left behind by them. Let's go!"
Lin Yu hurriedly entered the ruins to follow Aizen's group and was soon followed by her two junior sisters. Whereas Feng Zhi looked at her two junior sisters and nodded before she looked at her Sky Phoenix.
"Lulu." She softly mentioned the name of her mount that was at the level of the Sky Spirit Realm.
"Squeak."
Sky Phoenix seemed to understand her master's orders and immediately shrunk her body to the size of an adult's arm, then she flew and landed on Feng Zhi's shoulder before the three of them immediately caught up with Linyu who had entered first to follow Aizen's footsteps.
By the time Feng Zhi had caught up with them, Lin Yu was already right behind Aizen's group, but when she would ask Lin Yu about the explanation and reasons to be told, she was overtaken by Aizen.
"Young girl, maybe this is a bit late since our meeting at the inn some time ago, my name is Aizen, nice to meet you." Aizen greets her while looking back a little.
"Um, I'm sorry too, because I haven't introduced myself. I'm Lin Yu, and this is my two junior sisters. While this one, she is Sister Feng Zhi and her two junior sisters."
Lin Yu represented to introduce their group of six people now and eliminated the opportunity for Feng Zhi to introduce herself to the mysterious person that Lin Yu had said some time ago.
Feng Zhi only grumbled in her mind but she still allowed their conversation to flow first, she had little information to do further.
"All right, Miss Lin Yu. I feel interested in your innate abilities, and I have observed you a while ago. Can you tell me, why do you look scared but now you suddenly become better?"
Aizen asked lightly and the question seemed to have represented the question that Feng Zhi wanted to ask.
"Um, for some reason I feel a bad feeling after we entered this hidden realm, and that feeling is getting worse until it makes me scared when you say that this is the first time for you to enter a hidden realm like this..." Lin Yu answered with her usual neutral tone before continuing.
"But somehow, I suddenly felt fine after you allowed us to keep following you." She is also confused by her innate talent, but she believes that she can rely on her ability.
"Is that so..." Aizen looked forward again, he already had several theories and speculations regarding Lin Yu's abilities.
While Aizen no longer spoke, Feng Zhi took advantage of the opportunity to ask Lin Yu several questions about the previous matter without fear of being heard by Aizen.
'Axel you know.'
Axel understands what is meant when her name is called by Aizen through their minds connected to the system. They don't really care about the conversation of the girls behind them.
'No, the pressure from me is only part of the reason she feels scared. I predict that she and everyone in her group will die in this exploration, her innate abilities feel much better since you allowed them to follow us.' Axel did not argue about what she did a while ago to Lin Yu.
Previously, she applied Lin Yu's slight invisible energy pressure, and if she could not answer that could satisfy her, Axel would kill the six of them without hesitation and without a trace.
She really does not like to be followed without permission, especially when she is with her master and her sister. But the subject matter in the previous topic isn't just there.
'If so, what do you think of her innate abilities.' Aizen asked again because he still had to confirm certain things by matching his theory to Axel's point of view.
'Her innate abilities are very useful for warning her if danger or a bad situation will be encountered. That ability will help her make the right decisions in various circumstances in her life.'
The opinion just given from Axel reinforces some of his theories and Aizen is now able to draw conclusions for that.
'Master Aizen, are you interested in further researching her?' Axel asked in a mysterious tone with a mischievous smile behind her veil.
Unfortunately, her naughty smile can be seen by Aizen because of the system that connects them. 'No, we can't dissect her. I have a better idea for that.'
'Brother Aizen... Why don't you ask about my opinion?' Ana joined in the conversation while sulking a little. She doesn't like to be ignored and feel off-topic.
'Hehe... I think my Ana doesn't care about Miss Lin Yu innate abilities that we're talking about. Well, then what do you think of her talent?' Aizen giggled a bit with Axel to Ana who began to sulk.
'Hmph! Do not expect it! I know you are going to give her a hidden detector, right? What is the difference between my opinion or without my opinion? Aizen is mean, Sister Axel too...' Ana started sulking because she was ignored from the topic until the conclusion was drawn from their conversation.
'Master Aizen, this is your fault~' Axel smiled amusedly at that.
'Aww... My lovely girl, don't sulk anymore, ok? You usually don't want to interfere with things like this so I also can't ask you. Next time, I will ask you for your opinion.' Aizen tries to persuade his sulking daughter in a gentle way while taking her hand and holding it.
'Hmph! That's not enough to treat the wound in my heart, Brother Aizen! You still have to promise me something besides that.' Ana let her hands be grabbed by her father who is now called to be her brother.
Aizen smiled wryly at his unreasonable daughter but he did not mind that. 'Well then, besides what I just said, I will grant a request from you Hohoho~' Aizen laughed like a white-bearded old man who would give presents to children when the end of the year arrived.
'Really? That's a promise, ok? Hehehe...' Ana returned to her cheerful self while smiling behind her veil and holding Aizen's hand tightly.
Aizen and Axel smiled warmly at Ana's easily persuaded behavior. Their conversation could not be heard by the six girls behind them who were talking softly about explanations and reasons from Lin Yu who now precisely resembled a question and answer session between five curious girls and Lin Yu as the speaker.
The nine of them continued their journey to go deeper into the ancient ruins that have so much mystery, treasure, and legacy in it.
I will release a double chapter tomorrow. ^_^
