The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 6148

Just then, an excited shout from a woman echoed from inside the main hall of the Iustus Sect.

James and the others turned to look and saw a middle-aged lady clad in golden-purple armor, exuding a heroic aura, hastily descending the stairs amidst the throng of the Iustus Sect powerhouses.

“Is that the sect leader of the Iustus Sect?” James transmitted a voice to Lyla.

“No, she isn’t,” replied Lyla. “Quartney is even more beautiful.”

James remained silent.

“Is it really you, Xitlaly?” The lady rushed to Xitlaly, tears brimming in her eyes. “Is it truly my Xitlaly who has returned?”

“Mom.” Xitlaly immediately hugged the lady.

At this moment, both of them wept together, the warmth of their reunion replacing the previous tension.

Seeing this scene, James and the others smiled. This was perhaps the most heartwarming moment in all these years.

After a while, Xitlaly hurriedly released the middle-aged lady. Then, she introduced the lady to James and the others before warmly welcoming them into the main hall of the Iustus Sect.

During their conversation, Xitlaly recounted her adventures and dangers in the Forladtt Land, which left the lady astonished and moved.

James and the others remained silent throughout, sitting on the side.

After all, it was a reunion between mother and daughter, and they did not want to intrude.

At this point, Truett stood up nervously, “Madam, since you and your daughter have a lot to catch up on, shall we take our leave for now?”

“Oh!” the middle-aged lady scrutinized James and the others. “You’re all Xitlaly’s friends, it would be remiss...”

“You needn’t worry about us.” James smiled. “You two go ahead and talk.”

The middle-aged lady hesitated for a moment. Upon seeing Xitlaly nodding, she immediately waved her hand and shouted, “Elder Lyle!”

Immediately, an elderly man with white hair hurried in.

“Please take these friends around the headquarters,” said the lady in a deep voice. “We’ll have a feast later to welcome them.”

Then, she recounted her engagement with Truett.

After hearing this, the lady was shocked. She stared at Xitlaly as if she were a monster.

“Mom.” Xitlaly hurriedly knelt before her. “I know Joaquin is the master's son, and the master wants to strengthen our family’s position in the Iustus Sect through marriage, but I…”

“Shut up!” the lady stood up immediately and rebuked angrily. “Xitlaly Blair, do you know what our family will face without the Iustus Sect?”

Xitlaly fell silent.

“You just went to the Forladtt Land once, and dared to make a lifelong decision?” The lady pointed at Xitlaly. “You don’t even care about the family’s interests. Do you not want to be the Saintess of the Iustus Sect anymore?”

“Family interests, always the family interests.” Xitlaly stood up suddenly with a cold smile. “Cerise Xambhria, you are my mother, but you never consider my happiness. Your first thought is always the family. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come back at all.”

Facing Xitlaly’s rebuke, the middle-aged lady named Cerise Xambhria was instantly furious, “Xitlaly Blair, I’m your mother, how dare you address me by name? You...”

She raised her palm as she spoke, her face filled with disappointment as she saw Xitlaly staring at her intently.
