Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 493 Yue will train under me II

Elli also froze in her spot when she followed Yue's sharp gaze and saw Glacia stepping toward them. The old town's head pushed Sebastian away and quickly left the arena, joined by a few others, to greet Glacia, who had halted in front of Yue. But the woman with bronze eyes waved her hand at the town's head and gave a faint smile.

"It's alright, old man. No need to be so formal. I am just here to see the people I left in your care."

The old town's head gazed at Yue and Elli before gesturing for the others around him to leave them alone. However, to everyone's surprise, his one and only foolish son boldly went and stood in front of Glacia with his still swollen face before asking what business she had with Yue.

Glacia chuckled at the young man standing before her. She remembered him. The last time she visited the town, he was the only one who didn't greet her.

"Sebastian, right? You have quite an attitude, young man. If you want to listen, then listen from a distance, or else I can simply bury you underground."

Sebastian's stance faltered, but instead of leaving the area, he crept behind his father to hide. The old town's head facepalmed at his son's antics and just wanted to bury the young man himself.

Yue stood up, and Nox jumped away from her shoulder to climb a nearby branch that extended toward him on its own. Glacia's narrowed eyes followed the lynx's every movement before she gazed at the branches of the Tree of Fate.

'Indeed, the rumors are true. The Tree of Fate is favoring her...'

Glacia snapped out of her thoughts when Yue and Elli both stared at her with cold eyes before Yue stepped forward and started speaking.

"You are here to see us, right? Now that you have done it, please leave."

Glacia shook her head.

"No, no, I am not just here to see you all. I have something to tell you as well. So let's sit down for a while."

She waved her hand to take out a few wooden chairs from her mind space before taking a seat on one of them and gesturing for Yue and Elli to sit opposite her. Yue's eyes showed her displeasure, but she and Elli sat down across from the woman to bring it to an end, as they had no intention of looking at the face of someone they disliked so much. But when they heard Glacia's next words, they were both stunned.

"Yue will train under me from now on because I want her to enter the Gladiator Arena that will open in the Sacred Divine Land three years later. As for Elli, she is too weak and still has a long way to go before she could even clear the Ascendant state, so she will stay here and train with the townspeople."

Elli's eyes widened at the woman's words, but before she could speak up to ask why the heck Yue would practice under her when Glacia is the very person who is forcing them to stay here, Yue held her shoulder to stop her.

After Elli stopped, Yue clasped her hands together tightly and stared at the woman to understand what the heck she was talking about. What Gladiator Arena and what Sacred Divine land? It's been a year since Yue arrived on this planet, but she had never heard of these terms before.

However, the one who answered her questions wasn't Glacia but the old town's head who stared at Glacia with a solemn expression and explained everything about the Sacred Divine land and the Gladiator Arena to Yue and Elli. The old town's head had been to that place before once, that's why he knew everything about the bloody fights that took place in that event.

The more Yue and Elli heard about that place, the more serious their expressions became. Elli stood up to argue with Glacia, even though she was weak, there's no way she would let Yue go to such a dangerous place. But Glacia smirked and spoke up while staring directly at Yue.

"You want to become stronger, right? That's why you've been putting your body under so much pressure to train day and night since you arrived on this planet, and I know the motivation... you want to go back to your home planet, or more specifically, you want to meet that silver-haired man, right?"

Yue's facial expressions stiffened when she heard Glacia talk about Kyle. Not only Yue but Elli's eyes also widened. However, Glacia wasn't done yet.

"The very man who I am not even sure if is alive or not because I made sure to break his body when he stared at me with those arrogant green eyes."

Yue's expression chilled as she stared at the woman. She almost attacked Glacia if not for Elli, who grabbed her arm and made her look at her. Yue blinked and saw her reflection in Elli's eyes. The rims of her eyes had completely turned red.

She took a deep breath.

'No, Kyle is fine.'

She repeated those words in her head to calm her nerves, and after a long minute, she made a decision. She needs to return to her planet. But to leave, she needs to become stronger... strong enough so no one could stop her.

Also, she needs to make sure both her mother and Elli are safe before she does something impulsive, or else they would be put in danger because of her. Yue glared at Glacia with icy eyes as she brushed Elli's hand away from her arm.

"I will train under you and participate in the Gladiator Arena as well. Just tell me if he is alive or not?"

Glacia smirked.

"He is... probably because he was breathing when I left. Your training will commence tomorrow. So, be prepared."

Elli gazed at Yue's firm expression and realized she couldn't stop her now. She was already upset that Nine had disappeared after leaving her here, and now even Yue would leave.

At that moment, Sebastian also spoke up with a grave expression.

"I want to follow Yue-!"

But before he could finish his sentence, his father smacked him and dragged him back home to beat him up so he knows what he is allowed to speak and when he is not.
