Chapter 1456 Short Reunion

Chapter 1456  Short Reunion

"What do you mean you need to be sure of something?" Klaus asked, still agitated.

"I don't want a situation where it won't work. So I'll confirm from my father if this is what I want and then relay the message to Teacher." Grey explained.

"Uncle Chris will understand. Just tell him it might help." Klaus didn't want to wait.

"We've waited for years, what's the point of rushing now?" Grey wasn't in support of rushing, like Klaus.

Klaus thought about it and seeing it from Grey's end, he knew Grey was right.

"Thank you." He said softly.

"For what?" Grey couldn't help but ask.

"Keeping my father in your head. If he hasn't recovered, this should be of great value to him." Klaus said with a serious expression.

"Don't be like that. He's my Principal, and I'm part of the reason he ended up like that." Grey didn't feel he was doing anything out of the ordinary.

"I know, but thank you either way." Klaus said sincerely.

Grey looked at Klaus' serious face and couldn't help but laugh. This was not the normal Klaus he knew, but since Klaus was serious, he wouldn't say anything else.

The duo continued their journey, and on the way, they were forced to stop.

A group was blocking their path, and they wanted payment if the group wanted to pass through this place. If they want to go around, it will take around a week or so. This was the fastest way to get to their destination.

The group blocking their path didn't actually have the strength of a Peak Venerable which made the duo laugh at them.

Klaus could easily turn them all to an ice statue without much effort.

Klaus, who was in a hurry for Grey to speak to his father, didn't even have any time to speak with these people, he directly froze one of them and the others escaped, not daring to fight with them.

Grey laughed "You didn't kill him, did you?"

"Nah, he'll be good in a few hours." Klaus replied.

Grey didn't speak much, he looked at the ice stature and moved it to the side where it wouldn't be damaged before continuing the journey with Klaus. It was evident Klaus wouldn't leave until this matter was settled.

….

A few days later.

Grey and Klaus arrived at the Dawson manor.

Grey was already well-known there and he didn't have to stop for any inspection. He took Klaus inside and headed straight for his parent's building. When he got there, no one was home.

The duo went over to Grey's place, waiting for his parents to come back. Grey knew his parents was always busy, but he was a little taken aback when he didn't find the little girl he brought back the last time.

He didn't think too much about it and waited at his place, he knew they would return eventually.

They didn't have to wait for too long, after two days, his father was the first to return.

"Where's mother?" He asked when he saw his father.

"She went out to train the little one. They should be back in a month or so." Lucas replied.

Grey didn't think too much about it, he went straight to why Klaus was still waiting.

"Where did you find this?" Lucas questioned the second he saw the item in Grey's hands, he didn't even reply Grey's question.

"The Prince of the Gnome race had it. He offered it to me so I won't kill him." Grey said.

Lucas looked at Grey, finding it hard to believe this, but he didn't ask too many questions.

Grey didn't say anything else. He knew his father would never agree to him wanting to enter the Gnome world, so there was no need to tell him about it. At least not now.

Klaus was the one who didn't even speak, he only looked on as Lucas studied the item. After some time, Lucas spoke up.

"This should be able to heal an Elementalist's core, but it depends on the damage dealt to it. There are damages that can not be healed." Lucas explained.

Grey went on to tell Lucas about the Principal and how he wanted to use this to heal him.

"You can try, but given the time difference, I'm not very optimistic about your chances." Lucas told them his opinion.

This was a very important treasure and wasting it on someone that doesn't have any hopes of healing wasn't something he could bring himself to accept. However, this item belonged to Grey and he didn't have much say on what it could used for, especially since the Principal sustained his injuries because of Grey.

Grey told him of his desires and he encouraged it.

Klaus felt hopeful when he heard this. As long as his father could be healed, he was satisfied.

Grey didn't waste any time and contacted his Teacher. Luckily, there was a means of communication between the two, and even though they rarely use it, it was still there.

Grey's Teacher replied quickly, telling him of his intentions to come to the Aurora Continent for an errand. As much as it sounded odd in Grey's ears, there was nothing he could do.

"Teacher will come next week. I'll pass it over to him when he comes." Grey relayed the message to Klaus.

"I would like to see Uncle Chris, it's been a while I saw him." Klaus said.

Grey didn't have any issues with this. To be fair, he also wanted to see his Teacher. The last time his Teacher came to the Aurora Continent, he didn't have the chance to see him. Now, he had the chance to see him.

The duo stayed at the Dawson manor until Chris was available.

….

"Isn't this where he said we're going to meet?"

Klaus asked as they waited for Chris.

"Yes. Now we wait." Grey replied.

"We've been waiting for a while now."

"It's not even been one hour."

"That's still long."

"If you don't want to wait, you can leave, you know."

"I'll wait. It's not like I have anything to do in the Faction."

"Then shut up."

"Don't tell me what to do."

Grey and Klaus continued bickering until a silhouette teared through the void and appeared before them.

"How come you are in this exact location?" The figure asked with a shocked expression.

"I'm familiar with places that has a high spatial fluctuations, so I located this place." Grey replied.

"You have the space element?" Chris asked when he heard Grey's explanation.

"Pretty much." Grey shrugged.

When he sensed his Teacher's cultivation stage, he was shocked. He couldn't sense it at all. This meant he was either in the Sovereign Plane or didn't have a cultivation base. Grey believed it was the former instead of the latter. He couldn't believe his Teacher was actually in the Sovereign Plane.

One has to know that they were advancing at a frightening speed, yet his Teacher was faster.

"Oh, you're already at the Peak of the Venerable Plane." Chris was taken aback.

He thought he was the fastest person, but he never thought Grey and Klaus would already be at the Peak of the Venerable Plane.

"Teacher, you're already in the Sovereign Plane." Grey replied, "I'd say you're the fastest person here."

"I'm your Teacher, do you expect us to be in the same category?" Chris asked with a scoff.

Grey didn't say anything, but Chris could see the reply on his face.

Grey caught up with Sylvia who had a higher cultivation stage than his Teacher at the time. He thought he would be ahead of his Teacher, but seeing that his Teacher had a higher cultivation stage, he was shocked.

Chris wasn't bothered with Grey facial expression, he looked at Klaus and said, "You too. How come you're also at the Peak of the Venerable Plane?"

"Uncle, I have a better talent than you, remember?"

"No one has a better talent than I do." Chris didn't even hesitate to say.

"What about him?" Klaus looked at Grey.

"He's my student. Of course he's supposed to be special." Chris said shamelessly.

One has to know that he didn't teach Grey for a long time, yet he was shamelessly saying Grey should have a good cultivation stage at the moment.

"Uncle, how's my father?" Klaus asked.

"He's fine. Can't cultivate, but fine." Chris replied.

Klaus' expression dropped when he heard this. He didn't think the situation was still the same.

"Didn't you say you would help?" Klaus asked.

"I'm doing all I can. But there's no way I can help him." Chris replied downcasted.

"He's here with a way to help." Klaus pointed at Grey.

"I know."

Grey looked at the duo and said, "I can speak now, correct?"

"Yes. Go ahead." Klaus replied.

Grey glared at him but didn't say anything, he showed his Teacher the item and his Teacher took it.

"Why are the Gnomes looking for you?"
