"…"
Silence fell over the room.
Strange expressions appeared on the women's faces, especially Thyra and Ember, after all, they were the ones who had lost almost all of their subordinates.
The subordinates they trained on their own.
"Are you alright…?" Nux questioned with a worried look on his face.
He wasn't planning on sugarcoating it. He did expect that this would happen and somewhere in their hearts, the women knew this was true as well.
Cultivation was a lonely path.
Separating from people you are close to is a natural phenomenon people have to get used to.
After all, no one is strong enough to escape the claws of time, not even the 'mighty' Divine Stage Cultivators.
"Yes, I am."
Suddenly, Ember nodded with an expressionless look on her face. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Mhm, they lived their life and now they are gone. It is as simple as that. It's not like it is the first time I have lost a subordinate anyway."
Thyra shrugged as well.
She tried to act as nonchalant as she could, however, the people she was currently surrounded by were the people who knew her probably more than she knew herself, she couldn't hide the unusual heaviness in her tone from them.
"You are thinking too much."
Suddenly, another woman spoke up.
It was Astaria.
Someone who had experienced these separations much more than anyone in this room.
"Our goal is to reach the top. It is obvious that not many are going to follow us there.
150 years is not a long time and this definitely won't be the first time you will experience something like this.
So get used to it.
And the faster you do it, the better."
Astaria spoke with a serious look on her face.
"As I said, it doesn't matter, they died and that is all there is to it. Don't act like I am in a vulnerable position."
Thyra replied, not wanting to act weak in this situation.
Ember nodded her head as well.
Astaria stared at the two women, obviously, the two of them were lying and everyone in this room knew that.
However, in this situation, there was nothing they could do and they had to accept that fact.
Astaria was right, they needed to get used to it, and Thyra and Ember acting like they already were, was probably the best method to follow in this situation.
"I understand. It is good that you are strong enough to back your unnecessary arrogance." Astaria shrugged.
"I don't want to hear about arrogance from someone like you." Thyra retorted.
"So what is the current situation of the Clan? How many active members do we have and… what should we do next?"
Decided that it would be the best if they changed the topic, Evane questioned.
Riona glanced at Evane, silently nodding her head at her as if she was acknowledging her actions, then, she replied.
