Chapitre 170: Don't overwork yourself

"Don't be so hard on him when you return."

Veila appeared before Mia even managed to get to the main gate of the sect.

She wore her usual clothes and a small knowing smile that indicated she was already in the know.

As such, Mia didn't waste her precious free time trying to probe what the girl meant. 

"What happened to work as hard as it takes?" she only muttered in response, theatrically rolling her eyes. She then looked towards the nearby gate, a decorative piece that set the boundary between the sect grounds and the civilian area. 

"I didn't really think about it before, but..." Mia said in a low voice before moving her eyes directly at Veila's face. "What makes you push forward?" she asked bluntly. 

"Going right for the prize, aren't you?" Veila only smiled before shaking her head. "I'm sorry, but if you want to know that, you will need to make us win at least one tournament first," she quickly denied Mia's question.
