The Second Elder was slightly stunned before he joked, "Did you both run up to us because you can't bear to part with our young master?"
Both Helena and Daniella blushed at his bold words.
"That's not it!" Daniella raised her head and took the spirited grass out, handing it to Nash. "Master Woods, my father acknowledged that Fane saved our lives during this competition, that he was the one who helped my sister in resolving her crisis during the previous incident.
Because of what happened, he hopes that the grudges between both families can be resolved. These are a token of appreciation from my father to thank Fane!" "Haha! Never thought your father would be so courteous!" Nash had long ceased to pick fights and instigate Alejandro, but the other party never stopped, and such behavior eventually led to squabbles and fights. He also asked the members of his family to not be so forbearing.
He took the spirited grass and put them away before smiling. "Splendid! Let the bad blood between our families be gone with the wind. Hopefully, both families can build more friendly relationships in the future!”
Daniella placed both her hands behind her back and asked happily, "Haha... By the way, since we were quite nervous about this competition, both me and my sister plan to go on a trip to the Woods family to relax. After all, we're friends with Fane, right? Master Woods won't mind this, right?"
"Haha... Sure! Sure! The two of you visiting as guests is exactly what we're looking forward to!" Nash laughed; he was no fool. It seemed to him that their relationship with Fane went far beyond 'just friends’, or these two ladies would have left after gifting the spirited grass. Why else would they follow them to the Woods family?
‘Had Helena and Fane slowly developed true feelings after faking it as a couple?' Such a thought eventually occurred to Nash as it seemed awfully likely. Maybe Helena liked Fane but was afraid of others realizing that if she came alone, as they were just pretending to be a couple. It would also be embarrassing for her, so she asked Daniella to come along. It would make sense if that was the case.
'Second Elder, Fane was the one who killed First Young Master Hunt. His combat power is incredibly powerful, so don't look down on him!" said Helena as she glanced at the Woods family's Second Elder. “Ah, but you needn’t worry. We’ll keep it a secret, even though quite many people know about this, and paper can't contain fire. The Hunts will learn about this sooner or later, but we won’t say anything about this. The longer we prolong this, your Woods family might develop and surpass the Hunt family by then!"
"Surpass the Hunt family? Haha! That's too far-fetched, and we dare not think of it! We’re already thankful to God that we're recognized by all seven first-class aristocratic families!" Nash was extremely modest. His gaze then averted to Fane and, to know the genuine truth, asked, "Fane, were you truly capable of killing Young Master Hunt?" "Father, I wouldn't be his opponent if we really are having a one-on-one fight. It all happened because Miss Helena helped out. What happened was..." Only then did Fane briefly tell them about what happened.
"I see. You're lucky to have an ultimate-grade spiritual tool. The flying sword was speedy enough to delay some time and cause the other party to suffer from the pill's backlash. It’s alarmingly dangerous now that I think about it!" Nash and the others finally realized what had happened once they heard the details. Fane’s combat power was slightly weaker compared to the First Young Master Hunt, and he might not have walked out alive had he not teamed up with Helena to attack him and the flying sword had not bought Fane some time.
"Still, I feel that First Young Master Hunt won't be able to defeat me if I fight him again, right now!" Fane smiled at this moment and said confidently, "Even if the Hunts know that I killed him, our Woods family won't be easily bullied!"
