"You are a bait."
This one sentence was enough to make Mia freeze.
She couldn't care less about being in danger herself. If she was a coward like this, she would never bother to challenge the system that governed the sect.
But being a bait, who would pull Arthur into trouble?
Mia tightened her hands.
"Excuse me?" Mia finally uttered through her tightened lips.
'I can't do shit about it now,' she thought, suddenly realizing just how naive her earlier thinking was. 'Why did I stop cultivating? Who cares what the sect will think? Because I stalled my own growth, now I'm as powerless to do anything as I always was!' she thought, heavily blaming herself for her earlier, cautious decision.
FOKKIN FINALLY.
This entire thing was supposed to be 1-2 chapters... But I guess that's what happens when I plan the story's layout while high af...
And now in a serious manner - I crammed way more info for this single reveal than I was aware off. Yet, for the story to progress in a way that wouldn't confuse everyone, I had to explain those things.
Thankfully, now that this part is done, we can finally pick up the pace and aim for the parts of the story that I'm personally most hyped about.
Soon, all the hints, foreshadowing, and stuff that you likely didn't even expect to be important will all come to fruition!
MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
(Also, after so long, I'm finally back to writing as much as I want!)
