Chapter 289 She will get rid of me
"E-E-Expert Stage…"
Arvina's face paled in horror.
A 19-year-old Grand Master Stage Cultivator was unbelievable?
What about this then?
Does this make any sense?
Arvina was at a loss of words.
"Y-You are already an Expert Stage Cultivator…" She stuttered as her expression continued to change, from shock to amazement to doubt to acceptance and then, tensed.
Nux didn't fail to notice it and soon, he frowned.
"Teacher, why the tensed look?"
Arvina looked at Nux's face and muttered with a solemn look on her face,
"You are more talented than I thought."
"Hmm? Isn't that a good thing? Why do you look so tensed?" Nux couldn't understand.
What teacher makes a face like this when she finds out that her student is talented?
Shouldn't she be beaming in immense joy?"
"This is not a good thing at all…" Arvina muttered.
"Why?"
"If it is revealed, you will be killed."
"Huh? That would have happened even if my talent was the same as what you thought it was, won't it? Why do you look so tensed right now?"
Arvina, however, shook her head,
"No, that is not true earlier, even if your talent was revealed, I could have protected you from even the King of the Kingdom, however, now…
Things aren't the same…
The Dukes and the King would come after you no matter what and this time, I won't be able to protect you either."
Arvina's expression wasn't good at all.
Nux, however, couldn't understand what she was talking about and frowned,
"Teacher… isn't my talent being better a good thing? I can get stronger faster, and with the way I am going, I won't need more than a decade to become a King Stage Cultivator, and once I become a King Stage Expert, I would become one of the strongest people in this Kingdom.
Won't that make me safe?
I just need to stay inside the academy for a while and then, I can do whatever I want.
Isn't that a good thing?"
Nux questioned.
"…"
Arvina glanced at Nux, who was looking at her with a curious look on his face, in the end, she couldn't help but sigh.
What she was about to say now,
By no means, this should be told to anyone else, it is the top secret of Skyfall Kingdom and was not something she could share with just anyone.
However, Nux was not 'just anyone' for her now.
He was her student, therefore, she decided to trust him.
"Nux…
Things aren't as simple as that."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know why the King is able to rule over the Kingdom even though there are around 5-6 more King Stage Cultivators here?"
"Huh?"
Nux frowned in confusion.
"This does sound strange. How is the King doing it?"
He questioned with a confused look on his face. However, inwardly, a sly smile appeared on his face.
'She is finally going to be honest with me.'
This was a good sign, at the very least, it showed him that Arvina Skyfall trusted him.
Things were going smoother than he expected.
"Do you know why I am confident in being able to protect you even if all the King Stage Cultivators in the country come after you?"
Nux frowned even more.
"That is because of my teacher."
"Teacher?"
Nux frowned, and this time, he frowned for real.
"Yes, my teacher, Astaria Skyfall, an Emperor Stage Cultivator."
