At this moment, Lucian, Celine and Isabella were settled into a spacious room on the third floor of the Azure Mist Inn. The room was lavishly furnished, with carved wooden furniture. Large windows overlooked the bustling streets of Azure Sword City below.
Earlier, after confirming Isabella was indeed an inner sect disciple, Arden's attitude had changed dramatically.
His previous bravado vanished, replaced by an eagerness to please. He had practically begged to stay with them, revealing his "desire to learn" more about the sect and perhaps gain some insights that might help him in the upcoming recruitment.
Lucian didn't explain further either. He exactly wanted this to happen, to stay in the same inn because only this way would he able to "eat" Lyra.
Although Lyra didn't understand why her son was behaving this way, she attributed it to his nervousness after meeting an inner sect disciple.
