Theo, Elara, and Veronica walked outside the city together. Theo enjoyed walking between two beauties in nature, although he felt awkward now that he had to make introductions.
"Elara, this is our sect master, Veronica. You will be under her command in the future, so you should get along," Theo introduced. "And Sect Master, this is Elara…" he realized he didn't know much.
But Veronica was a sociable woman, she didn't need help in maintaining a conversation. "Hm, Elara? You are very talented to reach your stage at your age, you must be very important in your sect."
The blonde girl's face brightened when the conversation started with a compliment. Truthfully, she realized she hadn't thought it through when she agreed to follow Theo into a sect filled with strangers.
"It's not much," Elara said modestly, "I've heard you left the Plain of Blessings, too, so you must be aware of the abundant resources and Qi there. I have a few fellow disciples who had broken through at 21."
