Chapter 537 Did you find who it was?

Chapter 537 Did you find who it was?

Yue glanced at his face. Now she understood why he was so tired after speaking so much because she was, too! Her throat was dry as well! She was sure she had talked the whole night, and the new day had probably started. Well, it can't be helped; she became too excited and just started to tell everything in detail.

Kyle stepped down from the bed and headed over to the table in the distance to grab the glass sitting on top of it. With just a snap of his finger, water appeared in mid-air and dropped into the glass.

He then strolled back to the bed at a leisurely pace, even though he could hear a faint commotion on the building's ground floor, and offered the glass to Yue, who blinked but then accepted it with a smile.

She observed as Kyle moved to her left side. After picking up the blanket, he lay down on the pillow, only to gaze at her as she drank the water. When she finished, he patted the space beside him.

Yue placed the glass on the floor and moved closer to him with a slight blush. However, she blinked in surprise when he simply wrapped her in the blanket and suggested she take a nap for a while.

"Sure..."

Kyle felt a surge of affection when he noticed a subtle pout on her lips. He took a quick look at Nox and saw the lynx sleeping peacefully on the floor.

Yue let out a surprised gasp when he grabbed the blanket and pulled it over their heads. Her eyes widened as he pressed his lips against hers. She instinctively grasped his shoulders, and her cheeks flushed red. Not to mention, her heart, which had barely quieted down, skipped another beat. But a smile soon appeared on her lips, and she wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him toward herself.

The touch on her lips wasn't cold, just as she remembered. A giggle escaped her throat when she remembered that just a moment ago he had asked her to sleep.

'I wonder who just said that?'

Nox's eyebrow twitched violently at the sight before him. He wasn't sleeping! Yue knew about it! Darn, he hadn't even turned ten, and he had to witness such a sight.

'I need to clean my eyes and mind...'

He quickly leaped toward the room's exit with dark eyes, but the moment he slipped out from the door, he noticed a faint ripple in the air, and his eyes widened when he sensed a divine barrier before him.

The lynx let out a sharp exhale when he thought about how he and Yue both had failed to even notice when this barrier was erected around the room. He flinched when the layer of divine energy in front of him parted to give him enough space to leave.

'?'

A shiver ran down his spine at the mere thought that the silver-haired human could sense everything around him clearly without even using a skill.

He shook his head and quickly jumped out from the barrier. But the moment he did, it was as if he stepped out from a different chamber altogether because instantly he heard a loud commotion downstairs.

Nox glanced down to the ground floor where the noises were coming from, but then he turned back and noticed that the barrier had become silent as if it had vanished into thin air. He tried to touch it, but his hand met nothing but empty air.

'Is this an array?'

'It seems to conceal the presence of the people inside the room because I can no longer sense the two of them.'

Without wasting any more time, he hurried towards the staircase and made his way down to the ground floor. As he reached the ground level, he noticed the light streaming into the building through the entrance, signaling the start of a new day.

He might have blamed Kyle for disrupting his sleep and taking his spot on the bed. But all other thoughts dissipated from his mind, and his eyes sparkled with curiosity when he spotted numerous familiar faces gathered on the ground floor.

Almost fifty of the elves from Planet Luminara who had arrived at the Sacred Divine Land to take part in the Gladiator Arena were gathered on the ground floor. The remaining elves from the same planet were also joining the gathered crowd with each passing second, either descending from upstairs or entering the building through the entrance.

Nox chuckled at the sight of Sebastian and the friends the green-haired elf had made on the ship while traveling to the Sacred Divine Land. All four of them were kneeling before the old supreme-rank elf who had given Kyle a sharp look the previous night. The old elf, named Wesley, stroked his beard with a grim expression as he looked at Sebastian's battered condition.

Wesley clenched his fist tightly as he thought how someone had the audacity to harm the people under his protection without his knowledge!

All this went down under his watch! His, a supreme rank individual's watch! Yet he was intoxicated all night just because of a bottle of liquor. He glared at Sebastian, who flinched under his gaze.

Sebastian felt like crying. After he was abandoned in the alley, he fainted and just woke up as the morning sun was rising. He came to the old man to complain and seek help because he was attacked by a hooded individual last night. He never expected to receive punishment instead!

Another supreme rank old elf with a muscular build entered the building and glanced at the many elves crowding the space. All the young elves were informed to gather together so the older folks could find out if someone had seen who beat up Sebastian last night. But unfortunately, no one had any idea how Sebastian got so badly beaten that even as a divine rank, his whole face was swollen with dark bruises everywhere.

Wesley noticed his presence and asked with a solemn expression.

"Did you find who it was?"

The other supreme rank individual shook his head with a sigh. He had searched the whole place, but he didn't find the hooded man Sebastian had described.

Well, it was to be expected because the young elf wasn't even able to see the face of the person who beat him up.
