A day passed as Davis remained in the hall, protecting Shirley while chatting with Freya. He waited for that Grand Elder that Sect Master Lea Weiss talked about, but no one came, leading to his confusion before realizing that perhaps it might be after the competition.
Esvele did not show up ever since she left so he mused that she was also cultivating.
Was she that scared of him? Or did she not want to have Shirley think that something might happen if she stayed with him?
Nevertheless, he wasn't bothered about it while Freya was talkative and adorable, making him feel entertained as he heard about Shirley's adventures. At the same time, he almost did not realize the passage of time until he saw that it was dawn again.
At this moment, when the sun rose outside, there was a low hum that came from Shirley's room while the undulations released were suppressed within the crimson palace.
'That was rather fast...'
