Chapter 5726
The next day.
In a courtyard halfway up Scuva Mountains.
This place was provided by Aenar Temple for people to practice an ascetic life.
The place was called Mandrake Residence.
Asher Klein sat near the edge of a cliff while looking out the window. He could not help but feel energized when seeing the billowing clouds.
Beside him, a beautiful woman was making some tea.
“Why would you come this early, Mr. Asher?
“Don’t you despise this place the most?”
The woman was from the Island Nations. She was an exchange student of Oaklands University and the university’s vice president, Nanako Kawashima.
Asher briefly pondered about the situation before he frowned.
“You don’t have to follow me here, you know.”
Nanako smiled.
“I think it’s only natural that I do after seeing you have something on your mind.
“Besides, you should know that my uncle, the Kawashima monk who doesn’t teach, is currently exchanging interacting with the Aenar Temple.
“I’m planning to introduce him to you soon.”
Asher froze.
“Are you talking about the legendary monk of your family who has a chance to acquire the epiphany of enlightenment?”
Nanako parted her lips to a smile.
“That’s right!
“My uncle never let go of his martial arts after becoming a monk.
“He combined his practices into his martial arts, turning him more powerful and terrifying!
“To my knowledge, only the Six Sword Saints are on par with him in the Island Nations!”
Asher’s expression kept changing before he lightly tapped Nanako’s shoulder.
“I understand your kindness, Nanako.
“That said, despite already sleeping together, we can’t just marry each other. We’re still students, after all.
“How about this? Find a time to introduce me to your uncle.
“I’ll make sure to discuss this with him.
“If there’s a chance, I’ll also set him to meet my father.
“That way, both parents would have met each other. How does that sound?”
Nanako seemed thrilled.
“Are you serious, Asher?
“I’ll tell my uncle about this when his duties are over for the day!
“Right! You haven’t told me why you’re here yet!
“After all, this place doesn’t suit you at all…”
Asher hesitated for a moment before smiling faintly.
“I’m hiding from a powerful figure that I went up against the past few days.
“But don’t worry. Nobody would dare cause any trouble in Aenar Temple’s territory.
“You should just relax while you stay by my side.”
“I see.
Nanako smiled.
“It doesn’t matter who you went up against…
“I’ll inform my uncle about this.
“The Kawashima family will never let that person get away with it.
“After all, you’re the family’s future son-in-law…”
Asher cracked a smile before showing a hint of disdain.
‘Damn Islanders…
‘Heh!’
