"Come to your senses lady, tell me what is happening to you, should I call someone~"
"Jasmine, didn't you feel that pressure a moment ago? It feels like I am crushed under the mountain, the pressure, and those eyes..."diya mumbled as she looked at jasmine with a dark face.
"What are you talking about lady diya, I felt nothing, look at yourself your whole body is drenching with sweat" jasmine responded to diya and she wiped the sweat from diya's head using a handkerchief.
"This is the first time I felt something like that in my entire life, I can still feel despair in my heart, those eyes that I saw for a moment..."diya said as she looked at jasmine with a confused gaze.
"I don't think you should attend the dinner, your body is too cold, you should take a rest, let me help you to get back to your room," jasmine looked at diya with a concerned gaze.
"You are right jasmine I don't think I could join the dinner tonight, but you don't need to spoil your dinner for me, you go ahead and join others, just don't mention about what happened to me right now, I don't have any explanation regarding that, I am going back to my room alone"diya responded and she continued." if anyone asked about me just make any kind of excuses but don't mention about anything related to my health, otherwise they will be worried"
"What are you talking about lady diya, how can I leave you alone in this condition for the sake of joining the dinner, I am not leaving you alone after seeing what just happened, you need someone at this very moment, you need me..."
"Jasmine please don't make it hard for me, please go away and leave me alone for a while, I need some time for myself, I know you can handle it"diya exclaimed and she got up on her feet without jasmine's help.
"Go and join others, your presence is needed there, I am heading back to my room,"diya said, and the next moment she left the hallway and headed back toward her room leaving jasmine in a daze.
"She is not right, I never saw her like that before, what in the world happened to her, how am I supposed to explain to everyone that lady diya is not joining the dinner, should I talk to grandpa lin and Leon, they might understand what is happening with lady, but she asked me not to tell anyone about this," jasmine mumbled in a low voice as she stays there standing and kept looking in the direction where diya went, jasmine was confused about the current situation, she doesn't know what to do right now, after few moments of thinking about the current scenario she took a deep breath.
"I dont think its a good idea to tell everyone about what just happened, xiao feng will be there and if she came to know about diya's condition she might take advantage of it and I don't let it happen no matter what, lady diya needs some time with herself, and I am going to keep my words and will do what she asked me to do," jasmine whispered and the next moment she left the hallway and directly headed towards the direction of the dining hall.
Meanwhile, at the same time somewhere inside the northern region.
"My lady..." kana tilted her head and she looked at Evelyn with a blank expression, she felt despair in her heart when she heard her master's words regarding the dual cultivation, she was aware that it is not possible to hide her cultivation base from her own master and she never intended to hide on the first place afterall she was not the only one who got a breakthrough in the next major realm,aana was the one who first reached to the next level before her, she was aware that sooner or later she has to explain everything to her regarding this and when the time will come she will politely explain everything that happened between her and yohan, but not this way.
"I was surprised at first when I saw both of your cultivation bases but soon I realized that something is wrong and soon enough everything becomes crystal clear seeing the way you and aana behaved seeing yohan's condition, I can feel his yang qi inside you," Evelyn tilted her head and looked at kana who was standing like a statue, words are not coming from her mouth, kana wanted to explain everything but she is lacking the courage to even spill a word, kana was feared this day would come when she has to face her master and tell her everything about their relationship with yohan but she never thought it will come that soon.
"Master it's not what you think...I mean...yohan and i..." kana stumbles upon explaining anything to Evelyn.
"You and aana simply abandoned the path of qi cultivator, you simply have chosen your own path, there is nothing to talk about," Evelyn looked at kana in a calm manner and said to her.
"Master let me explain~"
"It's getting late, lets' head back to the mansion, your sister is waiting for you, you don't have to explain anything to me, we are not going to talk on this matter again" Evelyn cut off kana in the middle, and the next moment she disappeared from her sight leaving kana in a daze.
"My lady..." kana fell to her knees on the ground when Evelyn left her alone at that place, her eyes become watery thinking about what just happened, she felt like her soul is drifted away from her body, her master's last words left a deep impact on her heart, she felt like she lost something in that moment.
