Aetheris's bloodshot eyes widened as he suddenly grabbed his left arm with his right, suppressing it with visible effort. He turned his head away, pretending it was nothing.
"What happened, Senior Brother?" Aiden asked calmly.
Aetheris said nothing, only shaking his head, his teeth clenched tightly.
From his core, he summoned the internal energy of the Clear Mind Technique. The unleashed energy surged through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians, calming the storm within.
Only then…
Only then could he suppress the left arm once more.
"Nothing… nothing happened," Aetheris muttered, his voice trembling slightly.
"Then leave," Aiden replied, narrowing his eyes.
He had asked three times.
What had happened?
Was it difficult?
What had happened?
That was enough.
"What?" Aetheris asked, his voice laced with frustration.
