After seeing Xuan teleport away in front of her, Molan remained where she was, thinking back to that moment seconds ago again and again, where Xuan had looked at her with real anger for the first time in the decades that they had known each other.
She was currently standing in front of a large, 6-sided building that rose into the sky like a tower. At the top of the tower was a smaller version of the same humongous statue that held the other part of the Sect.
Indeed, this was where the Sect members typically stayed. In fact, far off, in the distance, she could spy a couple sneaking away into a forest nearby, which was usually empty as this was a place where only the most elite in the sect had the authority to come to.
In her hand, she was still holding the glass with water that she had intended to give to Xuan after the isolation training, in which no food or water was available to those who were part of it.
