In response, Jared nodded. “I know.”
“You're risking your life for the sake of a few women. Is it worth it?” Arthur asked.
“Yes.” Again, Jared dipped his head a fraction.
Unexpectedly, Arthur suddenly flew into a towering rage.
Slamming his hand on the table, he cursed, “Yes, my foot! Are you living for the sake of a few women alone? Let me tell you this—women will only be a burden to you. For spiritual energy cultivators, it's a necessity to abandon all worldly emotions and desires. Only by doing so will one attain real enlightenment and become immortal. Look at you now, forsaking your life for the sake of a few women!”
Jared was surprisingly calm in the face of the enraged man.
“If becoming immortal means abandoning all worldly emotions and desires, I'd rather not have immortality. I didn't want it in the first place and had merely been forced to embark on this path. I'm willing to die to save them, and I know they're likewise willing to do the same for me,” he enunciated.
When Arthur heard that, the fury within him slowly dissipated.
“Oh well, romantics often have the most regrets since time immemorial. I know you came because of the three girls. If you want to save them, take them back to the secret realm. It's only there that they can recover again. If you stubbornly insist on not doing so, they won't even be able to survive a day,” Arthur stated evenly, sitting back down.
“Why? Why exactly is that so? What is Wordless Tome? And what is Boundless Cave? Also, what's the secret of that secret realm of Divine Quest Sect? How did this happen to them? What on earth is going on?” Jared demanded loudly, his emotions spiraling out of control.
