Under the cloak of night, atop the Healing Sun Peak…
A grim atmosphere enveloped the healing sun peak. Both Porus and Shreya sat together outside the healing tower with solemn gazes.
Porus, who thought of reviving the rising sun peak through Kent, sat before the healing tower with a grave expression. His thoughts weighed heavy with concern for Kent, who lay unconscious.
Inside the healing tower, Sophia’s delicate fingers danced across the strings of her zither, weaving a melody that seemed to echo the longing in her heart as she watched over Kent with concern and uncertain emotion.
Unbeknownst to Sophia, Kent occupied a place of profound significance in her heart, a truth that stirred in her thoughts even as she played the Zither strings.
Zi Chen, Sophia’s brother, hovered at the edge of the healing sun peak entrance. He came several times to visit his sister, Sophia. But the presence of Shreya at the healing tower entrance cast a shadow over his resolve. Due to the presence of Porus, Zi Chen didn’t even dare to approach the healing tower.
Even after thinking for a long time, Zi Chen did not understand what Porus was doing at the healing tower. Cursing his bad luck, Zi Chen left the healing sun peak, thinking of meeting Sophia at a later time.
But just then, he received news from his family through his communication orb. The poison sect secretly attacked Chen family properties and killed several relatives of the Chen family. Also, they even dared to attach a warning notice to the gate of the Chen family.
The administration forums had already begun spreading that notice to everyone. I am asking the relatives and close allies of the Chen family to hide for the time being.

“So, the poison sect came to abduct that zither girl? They just attacked Kent because he tried to defend her. Is that it?” Porus, who stood opposite peak master Shreya, questioned with a curious look.
“Yes, that is what exactly happened. Also, I got the news that a poison sect targeted the Chen family. They even dared to paste a warning notice at the gate of the Chen family residence.” Shreya replied with a solemn gaze.
“It seems like the Chen family really messed up with the poison sect. Inform me if you find the reason behind this quarrel.” Porus replied, thinking deeply about something.
“So, are you not angry?” Shreya questioned with quick turn.
“Why would I be angry?” Porus stared at her with a confused look.
“Thank God. I thought you would be angry at that little girl, who is the reason for Kent’s situation. By the way, who is this young lad? While all my peak disciples ran like cowards, he confronted the whole mob of the poison sect. If not for him, that little girl might have lost her life.” Shreya asked in a curious tone while taking out a jar of precious wine from her storage ring.
“It’s a long story.” Porus sighed deeply. “In short, he came for me to learn bow mastery. Worried that he might lose his life, I sent him to the healing sun peak. And the rest, you know.” Porus explained while thinking deeply about something.
Shreya passed a wine cup to Porus, but he denied it with a quick hand gesture. She felt surprised by his reaction. The drunkard who always begged her for her precious collection of wine is rejecting her offer.
While shaking her head, Shreya finished the two cups and stored the wine bottle. “So, what will you do now? Will you accept him as a disciple?” Shreya asked with a curious look.
“No…” Porus replied sternly. “Before knowing about this incident, I actually thought of reviving the rising sun peak by taking him as a disciple. But now things are different. The poison sect will definitely inquire about him. I must not put his life in danger.” Porus replied while staring into the horizon.
“Then?! Will you send him to the burning sun peak?” Shreya asked in an eager tone. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
“No… Keep him with you. Make him an official disciple of the healing sun peak. I will train that fellow secretly during the night. When he becomes grand master magus, I will announce him as a rising sun peak disciple.” Porus replied with a determined look.
“But it will take a lot of time, Porus. That fellow is still an 8th-grade Magus. It will take years for him to reach the grand master Magus stage.” Shreya exclaimed loudly.
“Nah, that fellow has a lot more potential than any other disciple at this peak. At most, it will take him one year. I must make him ready for the opening of the immortal beast abode.” Porus replied in an assured tone.
“Stop joking, Porus. It will take immense resources. Also, he needs to focus more on his attack strength and become a top warrior magus to gain anything from the immortal beast abode.” Shreya retorted in a mocking tone.
Instead of arguing with her, Porus smiled with a knowing look. Soon, Shreya understood the meaning of his smile.
“What?!!! No…!” She exclaimed with her mouth wide open. “Don’t tell me that you are going to use all the reserved resources of the rising sun peak for one single disciple. That’s really absurd and unlawful. I will complain to the patriarch if you do that.” Shreya rose from her seat with an angry face.
Porus, staring at her fierce face, began laughing loudly with a silly look. Shreya, who didn’t know that the patriarch personally asked Porus to train Kent, felt infuriated by Porus’s laughter.
“Silly woman, I’m the master of the rising sun peak. I have full authority over the resources of my peak. So, stop seeing a share of my resources and take good care of him. Inform me when he wakes up. I better prepare everything for his training.” Porus spoke in a lazy tone and summoned his fire antelope.
Taking a last look at the unwilling face of Shreya, he flew towards the rising sun peak.
“Damn drunkard…! I must contact the patriarch before he uses the entire blessing tree for one fellow.” Shreya muttered, thinking of the most precious resources in the rising sun.
