With a strength of merely a half-step into the nature level, Zen had been able to establish brilliant achievements in war among the Illuminating Soul Realm masters. With all that news, Zen had risen to higher and higher levels in Nina's mind.
But once he had left the White Emperor City, Nina had been unable to hear any news about him.
She had even pondered the possibility of going out to look for him.
However, she hadn't done such an apparently disgraceful thing such as a girl travelling thousands of miles just to find a man. Although the customs in Burning Sky Empire were fairly open-minded, Nina, who was born in a top noble clan, was still quite conservative.
Later, she had received the information that Zen had returned to Cloud Sect and often went to Lake of the Magical Fish to practice.
She felt both happy and disappointed when she learned this.
She was happy that Zen had returned to Cloud Sect unharmed. She was also disappointed that Zen seemed to have completely forgotten her and only cared about his boring practice.
'How about I go see him?' Nina had entertained the thought for some time. However, with a noble lady's reserved character, she had stifled it in the end.
She had initially been hesitant to join today's party.
But her close friend, Yetta, had repeatedly invited her and finally, she had to agree.
She had never expected that she would meet Zen at the Mo Clan's party.
Nina had missed him so much, but it seemed that Zen was indifferent towards her.
'It was okay when I found out that he was addicted to his practice. What's disappointing is that he has time to attend the Mo Clan's party, but no time to see me. Has he really forgotten me?' Nina was sad.
But when she saw him raising his head, smiling at her with his clear black eyes, she forgot all about her complaints at once.
She ignored Yates who was being all brands of courteous towards her at that time and shifted her attention towards Zen.
Smiling like a flower, she went towards him. "I heard that you'd come back. Why didn't you come over to the Lady Peak to see me? Am I not your friend?" She complained softly.
Hearing their conversation, everyone present there was shocked.
Especially those who knew Nina's identity.
One of them was Wurth.
As the young master of the wealthy Zhang Clan, Wurth had been made to learn to sort out the relationship between the important figures in the Imperial Capital from a very young age.
Whether the elders of the top seven noble clans or the important descendants of them, their powers, abilities, character and hobbies etc., were supposed to be clearly remembered by the children of the Zhang Clan.
