Chapter 3441 Lie Again
If he said that Gloria was already his woman, he was afraid that Azure Dragon and the rest would suspect something. After all, the Ecclesiastic Order was the enemy now.
If Gloria was so close to Floyd, they might suspect that she was using him.
Azure Dragon and the others glanced over simultaneously, as if they had noticed Floyd’s odd reaction.
Something’s wrong! Is there a problem?
Naturally, Floyd understood this clearly. Even if they knew about this, he must not expose Gloria.
If they tell Master about it, we’d be doomed. Others might not be able to tell, but he’ll definitely find out at first glance.
“Is there a problem, Floyd? Are you hiding something?”
Black Tortoise immediately became wary.
“We are no longer in touch!” lamented Floyd.
“Huh? You lost contact? Weren’t you pursuing her frantically back at the Heavenly Base?”
“Yeah! You weren’t even cultivating. All you could think of was how to pursue her!” Phoenix and the others chimed in.
“When I was pursuing her, I realized that the gap between us was too huge! Regardless of whether it’s her status of background, she’s far beyond me. Her powers are much superior than mine too! I’ve already given up then. I don’t deserve her!” explained Floyd.
Azure Dragon and the rest exchanged a look. They understood what he was saying.
When they were at the Heavenly Base, everyone thought that the Ecclesiastic Order was extremely noble and haughty. They always thought that everyone else was beneath them.
Floyd continued, “After Master revealed his powers and defeated everyone, that gap naturally disappeared. Back then, the Ecclesiastic Order was about to kill him! Since they are our enemy, how can I possibly still pursue her?”
Azure Dragon nodded. “That’s right. I’m not saying that everyone in the Ecclesiastic Order is bad. However, at this point in time, we might be used if we keep in frequent contact with them. Think about how Master’s whereabouts have been exposed!”
Kirin patted Floyd’s shoulder. “Good job! Otherwise, you’d be used by them. Relationships are fine, as long as they don’t affect the larger picture. After the mess with the Ecclesiastic Order is over, you can see if you want to continue pursuing her. But for now, you should cast it aside.”
Floyd nodded. “I understand!”
Gazing at Azure Dragon and the rest as they left, he broke out into a cold sweat.
Phew, that was close! Azure Dragon and the rest are as wary as Master. However, they’re so focused on recovering that they won’t care excessively about other things. Otherwise, considering how wary they usually are, they would’ve discovered my relationship with Gloria.
That’s right! Even if Azure Dragon and the rest suspect something, they won’t care about it. Other than Master, I’m the only one responsible for everything else. Hence, they will still believe me. They’re just like Master—they trust every single person.
Floyd sighed.
It’s my second time lying.
“But for Gloria’s sake, it’s worth it! So what if I lied? Furthermore, what I’m doing is for the greater good for both sides! I’m preventing both parties from becoming enemies before even meeting.” Floyd consoled himself.
It was a special time now.
Floyd checked the surroundings of the base to prevent any external personnel from hiding there.
Soon, he arrived at where Forlevia was cultivating.
Not only was Forlevia there, but Zoey and the rest were also present.
Forlevia was teaching everyone the technique that she had created.
After all those crises, everyone realized that they must become even more powerful. They could not rely on Levi for everything. The fastest way to become powerful was to train Forlevia’s technique.
Forlevia was generous enough to teach everyone her technique.
When Floyd noticed it from afar, he was about to stop them. After all, when Gloria investigated this technique for him, she almost lost herself when practicing it.
He did not want others to be hurt because of it. However, he held himself back. If he were to stop them, he would reveal the fact that he had taken Forlevia’s technique away.
