Noah was quite surprised.
He wasn't sure if Jean was being serious or if she was just playing with him but he understood that there was a deeper meaning to her words.
'Does she want acceptance?'
He could understand that need but he really wasn't the right person where to look for it.
Luckily for him, movement on the mountain path claimed the attention of the cultivators in the cave.
Sixty or so soldiers marched at a slow pace on the road, warily inspecting the area around them.
They knew that if an ambush was to happen, it would have been in that area.
The atmosphere inside the cave became tense as the cultivators focused on the mission, they had to wait for the trap to set off before they could assault the soldiers.
'Here is Samuel.'
Noah spotted the noble in the middle of the group.
'The scrolls must be with him, I don't believe that his family would give them to a simple guard. Though, that man doesn't seem simple.'
