Chapter 2008 Elder Sunheart

Half a day later, someone arrived at Alex’s mountain and called for him from outside of the cave.

Alex walked out to find a young man with red hair smiling toward him. “Are you junior Dawnblade?” the man asked.

“I am,” Alex asked. “Who might you be, senior?”

“I am Reddusk,” the man said. “I came on behalf of Elder Sunheart who wishes for you to go meet her.”

“Elder Sunheart?” Alex asked. ‘The plant Elder? What does she want with me?’

“Right away?” Alex asked.

“If you wanna delay one of the Peak’s orders, that’s up to you,” the man said, clearly implying that they needed to leave right then.

Alex went with the man, flying past 3 barely inhabited mountains before finally arriving at a teleportation formation. He quickly teleported away and found himself in another section of the sect.

If his information was right, this place was far to the Northeast side of the sect, actually pretty close to the area where Newsky City was located.

The Peak they came to was tall at over 10 kilometers. The entire mountain was filled with caves and houses all throughout it. A significant portion of the disciples lived at one of the 15 Peaks, so Alex wasn’t very surprised to see all of the residences.

The man he came with pointed Alex to the top of the mountain where the elder would be waiting for him. Alex thanked the man and made his way up there.

Alex flew up the mountain, arriving at the top in a matter of minutes. He landed outside the giant courtyard that was created at the top of the mountain.

Elder Sunheart walked out the moment he arrived, wearing the bright blue robes that all of the elders wore. Her dull red hair lay hanging on the front of her chest, braided into a single clump.

“Greetings, Elder Sunheart.” Alex gave a deep bow along with the greeting.

The woman nodded, saying nothing, and stared at Alex for a long bit.

Alex waited for her to speak, but she simply wouldn’t say a word. The air got a bit too uncomfortable for him.

“Umm, Elder? Did you need something from me?” he asked.

“Who are you?” she asked, her eyes narrowed with an inquisitive look. Alex was taken aback by the question. “I am Dawnblade, Elder,” he said. He didn’t believe that she could have forgotten him so easily. Hell, she had called him here in the first place.

“That might’ve been the wrong question,” she said. “Who are you to me?”

Alex was even more flabbergasted now. He gave a dry laugh, not knowing how to react to her words. “Elder Sunheart, I’m afraid I don’t understand what you are trying to say.”

“You are not a plant too, are you? I cannot feel that aura on you,” she said.

“No, I am a regular human,” Alex answered.

“Then why do I feel a connection between the two of us?” she asked. “What is it that you have that I feel connected to you?”

“Connection?” Alex asked. “What do you mean, Elder?”

On the inside, possibilities arose, one that was more likely than the rest. ‘Does she feel a connection to me because she is a sun-related plant?’ Alex wondered. Sunheart Amberwood Tree was a plant that grew by absorbing a vast amount of energy from the sun. Maybe she felt a connection to him thanks to that.

Alex wasn’t sure if he wanted to tell her about his body just yet. He had just joined the sect so he wasn’t close to anyone to reveal such crucial information so easily.

He waited for the woman to explain things on her own and then see if he needed to add anything to her words.

Sunheart struggled to explain what she meant. In fact, she herself did not understand what she meant at all. She moved forward, arriving next to Alex who panicked a bit, not understanding what she was about to do.

“Give me your hand,” she said.

Before Alex could lift his arm, a force shoved it toward her and she grabbed his hand. She observed his hands for a few seconds before shaking her head. “Nothing,” she said. “Channel some Qi for me.”

“Elder, what is it you’re trying to do to me?” he asked.

“I’m not sure yet,” she said. “But do not worry, I won’t hurt you. That will be the last thing that I will do here.”

Alex panicked even more. If he channeled his Qi, there was a chance that she would find out. He took a deep breath and let out the regular Qi flow through him. Hopefully, that stopped whatever the woman wanted to check from his body.

Elder Sunheart frowned and let go of his hands. “I don’t understand,” she said softly. “This doesn’t make sense. There is nothing there and yet… why do I feel a connection?”

Alex simply put on a bewildered face and hoped that expression alone would do his side of the talking for her.

“I must be going mad,” she said and shook her head. “I’m sorry if I confused you. I’m confused myself here.”

“It’s alright, Elder Sunheart,” Alex said.

The woman nodded. “How are things going on for you? Have you acclimated to the sect yet?” she asked.

“Not yet,” Alex said. “I’ve been cooped up in my cave for the past 2 days, so it will take some time.”

The woman nodded. “Have you chosen which Peak you are going to be under?” she asked.

“Not yet. I cannot decide just yet,” he said.

“Do you wish to join me?” she asked. “I’ll treat you well.”

Alex gave a small smile. “I’m sorry, Elder Sunheart, but I haven’t made any decision yet. If I do decide on joining your sect, I will let you know.”

The woman gave a simple shrug. “I am not lying about treating you well. I won’t say I treat everyone well, but you I definitely will. Not just because of our connection but for what you represent for our future. Do give it a thorough consideration.”

Alex nodded. “I will consider everything before deciding.”

Elder Sunheart had nothing more to say in that regard. She sighed and let Alex leave. Alex walked down the mountain, thinking about who would be the best person for him to join, he hadn’t the faintest clue. He didn’t even know if it mattered at all since he wasn’t planning on staying here for much longer than he needed to. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Alex arrived halfway down the mountain where the teleportation formation was, but instead of returning to his cave, he decided to visit Elder Shang. Since it had been nearly 3 days since his arrival, he hoped that everything that he needed to be given had been prepared by now.

It took him a second to figure out where she would be at this time of the day and teleported to that area of the sect.

Alex arrived in an entirely new section of the sect, but one he would have to familiarize himself with. This was a place for the administration of the sect and was one of the more important locations in the sect.

After looking around the area, he judged where the Elder would be and went toward the building.
