"Uwaa! A real prodigy is in front of us! Now that I got a better look at him, he looks kinda handsome."

The tall girl in their group exclaimed in amazement. She looked at Rant Valo up and down.

"Right?"

The big-busted girl agreed, joyfully.

"Disciple."

"Master."

Floriana Sabina and Veia called out to him in cold voices.

"W-What?"

Rant Valo turned his head towards them like a cranky gear.

"Stop flirting with them and ask!"

Floriana Sabina shouted in anger. Veia nodded her head vehemently from the side.

"Who is she?"

"Your little sister?"

"I think so too."

The three girls discussed with each other.

"HAHH?? Who are you calling his little sister?"

Floriana Sabina walked towards them angrily.

"She's so fierce."

"Do you think she's on her period?"

"Do kids get periods at that age?"

The three continued ignoring Floriana Sabina. Their words made Floriana Sabina shake in anger.

"I'm not a kid!!"

Floriana Sabina shouted. It was so loud that the birds perched on the trees around them flew away.

"Little girl, don't worry. We won't hurt you."

The big-busted girl rested her hands on her knees and looked down on Floriana Sabina's face.

"Y-You!"

Floriana Sabina was fuming in anger. She doesn't know what to say anymore.

"Now, now. Relax."

Rant Valo went behind Floriana Sabina and patted her shoulders to calm her down.

"Hmph! Ask them already."

Floriana Sabina snorted in anger, but she allowed Rant Valo to massage her shoulder with his hands.

"Alright."

Rant Valo nodded his head with a wry smile.

"What is she talking about? Ask away, Senior Brother!"

The big-busted girl asked Rant Valo. She was very eager to answer any of his questions.

"Where is this Sect Tournament happening?"

Rant Valo asked her.

"It will happen at Blue Jade Peak."

The tall girl answered this time.

"When?"

Rant Valo continued asking them.

"Next week! Starting early in the morning."

This time it was the other girl who answered.

"When is it gonna end?"

This was what Rant Valo wanted to know. After all, he would only be making an appearance after the sect tournament had already concluded. This way, he can directly challenge the champion.

"Huh? Before evening."

The big-busted girl tilted her head in puzzlement before answering. Was it really that important to know when the sect tournament would end?

"I see. Thank you."

Rant Valo nodded his head in satisfaction before thanking them.

"No problem, Senior Brother!"

"You can find me at House 67A below Garden Peak!"

"Will you watch the sect tournament with us?"

They all chatted to Rant Valo. Rant Valo didn't know what to do anymore.

"I'm sorry, but I'll be busy."

Rant Valo could only say so before he was dragged away by Floriana Sabina.

"Disciple, what do you think you are doing?"

Floriana Sabina asked him as she held onto his arm.

"They seem really nice."

Rant Valo replied to her.

"Hmph! They're just trying to seduce you. Don't talk with them again."

Floriana Sabina snorted at Rant Valo. She didn't want her disciple to grow that way. She was not gonna give her disciple to anyone.

"Okay?"

Rant Valo nodded his head reluctantly. He was baffled by what she just said.

"Master, I didn't know you were popular with girls."

Veia said to him with a smile. She was genuinely surprised that her master got so popular with those girls so quickly. He only said a few words, and they were already all over him.

"I don't know either. It must be because of my cultivation?"

Rant Valo shook his head. He was never that popular with girls. Even back in the village, it never happened before.

"Of course it is. Now you know, Disciple. Your strength not only gives you power, but it also gives you women! But don't you dare abuse it, or I'll castrate you!"

Floriana Sabina explained to him. Though, her words ended with a threat.

"Of course. I already have Veia and Zaria, after all."

Rant Valo nodded his head candidly. He also doesn't think that it's appropriate for him to have a relationship with girls he doesn't know very well.

"And me!"

Floriana Sabina added with a shout.

"Yes. I also have Master Floriana."

Rant Valo smiled at her. He thought that it was pretty cute of her to say that.

"Yes, Master. You have Grandmaster and me."

Veia added before secretly giving Floriana Sabina a wink.

"Uhm, sorry to disturb you, but… We'll go now, Senior Brother! If possible, we want to see you at the Sect Tournament."

The big-busted girl, who now seemed to be actually the leader of their group, suddenly interrupted them. She bid their farewell to Rant Valo.

"A-"

Rant Valo just raised his hand and was about to bid farewell too when Floriana Sabina slapped his hand down. She gave him a warning glare. He could only watch as they slowly disappeared from view.

"Now that they're gone. Where do you want to stay, Disciple? In the forest or the nearby town?"

Floriana Sabina asked Rant Valo.

"The nearby town. I'm sick of sleeping outdoors."

Rant Valo yearned to once again sleep on a soft bed. It was his first time experiencing it in Nale Narene's mansion. Every night before he sleeps, he was reminded of how soft it was because of the hard surfaces he was sleeping on outdoors.

Plus, it had been a while since he had a bath. He cultivated for days that he hadn't had the chance.

"This way then."

Floriana Sabina led the way to the nearby town. She noticed it when they passed by in the boat.

"Okay."

Rant Valo and Veia followed her. It didn't take long for them to see the huge walls that enclosed the town.

"This town was quite close."

Rant Valo said as he looked at it upfront.

"Let's go inside, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina urged them. She was also quite curious about what this town has to offer.
