After coming to the Dark Moon Sect from Evergreen Town, Jessica never saw Bowen in the past few months.
If it were not for his appearance, Jessica would have almost forgotten the man that took over Caspian’s spot and entered the Dark Moon Sect.
“What a coincidence!” Jessica smiled politely.
Bowen also smiled, but he said, “It’s not a coincidence.
I’m here to look for you.”
“What?” Jessica was surprised.
When they were in Evergreen Town, Jessica did not have any interaction with Bowen.
Moreover, Bowen rarely appeared in public back then, so they never met.
Back in Evergreen Town, Bowen was just like a legendary person.
Besides the Pullmans, not many people in the town saw him.
Hence, Jessica was puzzled when Bowen purposely looked for her.
Soon, Bowen pointed to a pavilion not far from them, and he laughed.
“If you have the time, why don’t we sit there and chat for a while?”
Jessica gave it a thought and nodded.
“Sure…”
As soon as she agreed, Bowen took the initiative to take the pile of books in Jessica‘s hands.
Then, he also took the books from Lucy and walked toward the pavilion.
Jessica and Lucy glanced at each other, and they both appeared confused.
However, they did not say much but just followed Bowen and sat in the stone chair in the pavilion.
Lucy was naturally not qualified to sit down, so she stood a step away from behind Jessica, rolling her eyes and looking at the legendary Bowen curiously.
‘He’s rather good looking, but he’s not as handsome as Casper, that idiot,’ Lucy thought, and she did not even realize that she just compared Bowen with Caspian.
“I heard that you went to South Earlington to visit the Heavenly Stars Sect, and you even met Casper?” After taking a seat, Bowen did not beat around the bushes, and he asked, “How’s he?”
Jessica did not immediately answer him, but she looked at Bowen, figuring out the meaning behind his question.
“I don’t have other intentions, and I‘m just asking out of concern,” Bowen added as he waved his hands, “Casper and I are on good terms.
If I knew you were going there before, I would have asked you to send my regards.”
Jessica smiled and nodded.
“He’s doing great, and his realm’s not far behind.”
Without knowing Bowen’s purpose, it was naturally impossible for Jessica to tell Bowen what she knew.
“Oh… That’s great.
Just as I expected, a guy like him will surely be an outstanding disciple no matter which sect he enters.” Bowen sounded as if he was Caspian’s admirer.
In that instant, Jessica and Lucy were even more puzzled.
What was the guy trying to do?
Soon, Bowen added, “Judging from the time, I bet you don’t know about the several major events that happened in South Earlington in the past few days.
A good senior of mine handled some matters in South Earlington, and he overheard some things about the Heavenly Stars Sect.
Hence, he quickly passed the news over, and I realized that it happened to be about Casper, so I’m here to inform you about that.”
After saying that, Bowen looked at Jessica.
However, Jessica did not show the expression that he expected.
“Wow.
Lady Jessica, you’re so aloof that I might mistake you for hating me.” Bowen’s face suddenly changed.
He appeared so dejected, almost slumping on the stone bench as he continued, “Even though I replaced Casper and entered the Dark Moon Sect, that was not my decision.
The Dark Moon Sect’s elder suddenly decided that, and the entire Pullman family would suffer if I rejected the offer.
