Karina’s presence seemed to fill Emrys with a glimmer of hope.

Her curiosity was piqued as she observed Emrys. “It’s quite puzzling, really. Didn’t your mentor share anything with you over the years? It’s baffling.”
Emrys, clearly frustrated, replied, “He was always a bit of a maverick, using my creations for his own financial gain without even giving me a heads up.”
With a sigh, Karina began to unravel the mystery. “Okay, I’ll answer your questions. To be honest, I’m just as clueless about the precise location of our sect as you are. My mentor never saw fit to enlighten me. And since you, his direct disciple, have no idea where he is, how am I supposed to know?”
Emrys, feeling somewhat deflated, couldn’t help but wonder, Did you actually provide any answers to my questions?
Noticing Emrys’ crestfallen look, Karina couldn’t resist a smug smile. “However, there is a silver lining. I do know the name of our sect!”
Eagerly, Emrys leaned in. “And what might that be?”
“The Heavenly Pilferer Sect,” Karina revealed.
Puzzled, Emrys repeated, “The Heavenly Preserver Sect?”
“Yes, exactly. We are the masters of pilfering celestial secrets –
the Heavenly Pilferer Sect.”
Emrys, his imagination ignited, exclaimed, “What a noble and distinguished motto! Our sect must surely be renowned far and wide!”
Karina’s face twisted slightly at his words, her tone tinged with irony. “Noble and distinguished? I can’t say I feel the same. In fact, it’s somewhat embarrassing. Even my mentor advised caution, warning that our sect, often mockingly referred to as the ‘Petty Pilfers Sect,’ shouldn’t be disclosed carelessly, lest we become targets.”
Emrys’ enthusiasm dimmed momentarily. “It’s just sheer envy, nothing more. The world is full of people begrudging our success, just like those spiteful naysayers who revel in leaving negative feedback.”
Puzzled, Karina inquired, “What do you mean by ‘leaving negative feedback”?”
Emrys waved off the question. “It’s not important. What matters is that the more they envy us, the brighter our sect’s future becomes. The Heavenly Pilferer Sect… it stirs something within me.”
Emrys reveled in the prestige of the sect’s name, despite the irony that surrounded it.
He found himself perplexed by his mentor’s insistence on keeping such an illustrious association
