บท 666: The Villain's Disciple

Mistie stared intently at the whale, quickly searching for words to convince him. Sensing her intent, the whale calmly said, "I've got a plan. It might not seem like it, but the dwarves have hidden potential that can be tapped. I'll return with more resources for the sect. Until then, my brother needs your help with something serious."

Mistie's eyes widened at this, and the whale continued, "Ruri recently became an ancestral Empyrean." At that moment, both Mistie and Nebai were stunned. "We don't know exactly how, but it seems like a stable and focused mind is the key. As for Quirio... you've noticed that he only appears stable on the surface."

The whale looked deeply into Mistie's eyes. "There are things I can't do, and if Quirio doesn't stabilize, he'll never advance like Ruri. Using karmic blessings when you can naturally break through seems like a waste. So, use this time together and help him. Who knows, he might be grateful later."
