"Alright. Let's go back now." Milo said, "It's unadvisable to interrupt her at this moment. Meet her later."
"Okay." Max nodded in understanding, but he did notice that Milo suddenly seemed to be in a hurry.
Before he could ponder over it, Milo grabbed his shoulder and shot into the sky and flew in the direction of the core hall.
Seeing how he was flying faster than before, Max couldn't suppress his curiosity, especially because Milo's behaviour seemed to have changed after he noticed Rima's breakthrough's fluctuations, and asked via mental transmission, [Is something wrong, Elder?]
[Nothing's wrong. It's just that I was suddenly called over to a meeting in the Core Elder's Hall.] Milo answered, his voice sounding calm and casual as before.
Max didn't try to pry further.
…
What he didn't know was that just a few moments after they left, a figure materialized in the place they were.
It was a white-haired and violet-robed middle-aged man—Grand Elder Rowan.
