Chapter 577: 'The Talk' [2]
Dark lines appeared on her face as Jiang Shi decided to put an end to this. She looked at Noah and asked the same question as if nothing had happened.
"I was training and polishing a few of my techniques in secret. I cannot afford to be left behind, after all!" Noah chuckled when he saw the looks he was getting. They were practically screaming, 'Left behind? By whom?! We also want to meet that person!'
Noah ignored them and changed the topic. "How have you guys been living in the sect so far?"
"Umm, the sect is great, and all the resources we receive are something we never dreamed of getting in our lives, but staying here feels too boring." This time it was Yuan Ming who spoke up. He wanted to go out and look for more parts of his cultivation technique and increase its level.
"Do all of you think the same?" Noah did not immediately answer and looked at the others, who also nodded in agreement.

They were all young and full of energy. It wasn't weird that they all wanted to make a name for themselves.
But…
"Sadly, that might not be possible." The look on their faces soured visibly as they heard Noah's words. "It's not that we want to keep you here, but the sect might not be peaceful in the upcoming times, and leaving by yourselves is a luxury you cannot afford with your strength."
"What kind of trouble are we going to face?"
"Are we really in danger?"
"What kind of strength do we need?"
"When is our master returning?"
As soon as he finished speaking, they all bombarded Noah with all kinds of questions.
Only Ruo'er and Jiang Shi remained silent. They were processing the depths of the words Noah had just spoken. Ruo'er did not have to think much, as she knew more than the rest, but the others were different.
"Our enemies have never changed." Noah chuckled before adding, "There is no need for you guys to worry about anything. Just keep training like this."
Everyone already knew about the Red Dawn Sect, as they had discussed it before, and the girls shared a lot of information with each other.
They couldn't help but worry about the terrors that might come their way.
"Although their forces are quite strong, with all of us being here, we won't let any harm come to you. There's me, Shisan, Xin Yan, and Old Man Ming protecting the sect all the time.
But if you leave the sect, who knows what might happen, as we cannot always be there to protect you."
A few of them noticed as Noah's voice grew distant; they couldn't help but recall what happened the last time they went out with Shisan.
Yuan Ming and Tian Heng visibly shook and clenched their hands into fists, a trace of killing intent flashing through their eyes.
All of them who knew Song Liu cared about her. They all wanted to kill those bastards who dared to harm that innocent girl.
"There are a lot of things you might not be aware of, but you will be able to learn them as time goes by." Seeing the confused looks on the three girls' faces as they saw the two boys' reactions, Noah commented with a sigh.
"Elder Noah, please tell us if there is a chance to fight those bastards. We don't want to be left behind this time." Tian Heng surprised Noah with his sudden exclamation. Seeing the look of determination in his eyes, Noah's eyes softened. "We haven't gotten that old that we'd need you kids to endanger yourselves, but I will let you all take your revenge when the time comes."
Yuan Ming and Tian Heng nodded solemnly while Ruo'er's eyes also sharpened. Xin Yan sensed her emotions and placed her hand on hers.
"Now don't think too much about depressing things. Let me train you girls. I've just completed my seclusion, so I'm free for a while." Xin Yan suddenly interjected with a small smile as she stood up from the ground.
"It's an honor, Elder Xin Yan." Jiang Shi was the first person to get up. She did not want to lose such a great chance.
Xueyan also followed suit with her fellow sister.
"I specialize in Ice Laws, so those who practice ice techniques will benefit even more from me."
Since the Frozen Heart Sect's cultivation technique aligned with the ice element, the two girls were eager to follow Xin Yan even more.
"What are you two thinking about? Aren't you going to follow along as well? Even though I cannot teach you your techniques, I can refine your techniques and battle awareness." Seeing Ruo'er and Ma Li still sitting with hesitant looks on their faces, Xin Yan chuckled.
Her words made their hesitation go away, and smiles bloomed on their faces. Though Ruo'er's smile was barely visible, she stood up and followed instantly.
Ma Li got up to leave as well, but then she suddenly jumped up on Noah and whispered something in his ear, which got her several stares and an eerie smile that promised pain.
Ma Li trembled when she saw Xin Yan looking at her like a predator without saying anything. She gulped down her excitement and followed behind the woman.
Noah chuckled at their antics and also got up from his seat.
"Are you going to train us as well?" Tian Heng asked, excitement and expectation in his eyes.
Yuan Ming also looked at the man with a little hope but didn't say anything.
"Huh, who told you that? Go train on your own or look for Shisan. I have other things to do." But the reply they got left them astonished. Noah walked out of the room under their blank eyes, leaving them alone there.
"Tch! Acting all cool! I will definately surpass him!" Tian Heng muttered under his breath, watching Noah disappear suddenly, which earned him a weird gaze from Yuan Ming.
