After a minute of idle waiting, a black-haired woman walked towards them. She wore a black dress and her hair was tied to a ponytail.

The moment Rant Valo saw her, he felt mesmerized. She was the very definition of beauty. He couldn't even take his eyes off her.

"Oops. Don't look at her too much. You'll be charmed."

Magicus Inde covered Rant Valo's eyes with a wry smile on his face.

"Big Bro, why did you call me?"

The woman furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Magicus Inde.

"Shake his hand."

Magicus Inde pointed towards Rant Valo.

"Rant Valo, this is my little sister. Can you please shake hands for a bit?"

Magicus introduced and said to Rant Valo.

"Why are you even covering my eyes first?"

Rant Valo pulled Magicus Inde's hand away from his face and asked him with an awkward smile.

"I'm sorry. My little sister is just too beautiful."

Magicus Inde said apologetically.

"Disciple, stay away from this woman."

Floriana Sabina moved and stood in front of Rant Valo.

"Right. Master, she is dangerous!"

Veia followed Floriana Sabina as they both protected Rant Valo behind them.

"Fufufu. Do you both feel threatened as a woman?"

The woman laughed seeing their actions.

"You girls don't have to worry. My little sister will never date Rant Valo."

Magicus Inde reassured them with a smile.

"W-Who told you that we're concerned about that!?"

Floriana Sabina asked Magicus Inde in a fluster.

"R-Right!"

Veia nodded her head and agreed with Floriana Sabina.

"Anyways. Just shake hands. You'll know what I mean, Rant Valo."

Magicus Inde said to him meaningfully.

"Alright. Master Floriana, Veia, can you make way for me?"

Rant Valo nodded his head. He was also curious as to why he felt familiar with Magicus Inde. If it could be explained when he shakes hands with this woman, then he would do it.

"Y-Yes…"

"Okay…"

Floriana Sabina and Veia stopped blocking Rant Valo and the woman dejectedly.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Novi Inde."

Novi Inde shook Rant Valo's hand.

The instant Rant Valo shook her hand, he felt the same familiarity he had with Magicus Inde. But it was like she was another of his relative.

"Oh, so this is why you called me here."

Novi Inde looked towards her brother with a faint smile.

"Yes. We should take him into our wing."

Magicus Inde nodded his head at her.

"Mm."

Novi Inde nodded her head at his words.

"Rant Valo, do you want to come with us?"

Novi Inde asked him with a sweet smile on her face.

"W-Why?"

Rant Valo looked at them in confusion. Something about all of this felt weird.

"He probably forgot it. Or it could be the first time he came to be."

Magicus Inde said to Novi Inde with a frown on his face.

"I think it's his first time."

Novi Inde replied with a shake of her head.

"Fate must have brought us together then. We'll be able to guide the little guy."

Magicus Inde replied to her.

"True."

Novi Inde nodded her head.

"Uhmm… What is this talk about?"

Rant Valo asked them inquiringly.

"Basically, we want you to come with us."

Magicus Inde turned to Rant Valo and responded.

"But why?"

Rant Valo was still confused.

"We'll tell you on the way."

Magicus Inde said to him calmly.

"Can't you tell me now?"

Rant Valo asked him with a frown.

Magicus Inde didn't say much. He glanced at Floriana Sabina and Veia beside Rant Valo.

"Hey! What are you being mysterious for? I'm his Master!"

Floriana Sabina asked Magicus and Novi Inde in annoyance. She couldn't take it anymore after watching in silence for a while now.

"Hmmm… a Late Mana Dominion stage cultivator. Not bad as his master."

Magicus Inde peered into Floriana Sabina. She felt like all of her secrets has been laid bare before him.

"W-Who are you?"

Floriana Sabina walked back in fear. She never told anyone that she was already a Late Mana Dominion stage cultivator. Only someone stronger than her should be able to tell.

"Hahaha. It's best that you don't ask."

Magicus Inde laughed seeing the fear in Floriana Sabina's face.

"Master Floriana?"

Rant Valo looked at Floriana Sabina in confusion. He never saw his master act like that.

"D-Disciple, he saw through me! Don't you know how significant that is!?"

Floriana Sabina replied to Rant Valo in a stutter. Dread was visible in her eyes.

"Don't worry. I'm not that stronger than a Late Nascent Soul stage cultivator."

Magicus Inde said to her with a smile.

"Then why?"

Floriana Sabina asked in puzzlement.

"It's related to Rant Valo's origins. I can't tell you."

Magicus Inde replied to her calmly.

"Tch. I can't tell you, I can't tell you! Why are you gonna take my disciple from me!?"

A strong and majestic pressure exuded from Floriana Sabina's body. Everyone inside the banquet hall froze and fell down to the ground powerlessly.

As for Magicus Inde and Novi Inde, they both stood in front of her as if her pressure was nothing.

"Hoh. A protective master. Not bad."

Novi Inde smirked at Floriana Sabina as she examined her.

"H-Huh?"

Floriana Sabina looked at them in shock. She scanned them with her Divine Sense. The moment she did so, she felt their Late Nascent Soul stage cultivation.

"How can you resist!??"

Floriana Sabina stared at the two of them in disbelief. They were both exactly at the Late Nascent Soul stage, yet they could resist a Late Mana Dominion stage cultivator like her.

"That's none of your business. Seeing that you are protective of him, we will return him to you after a day."

Magicus Inde said to Floriana Sabina calmly.

"Tch. Are you really?"

Floriana Sabina looked at them doubtfully.

"Of course. You can trust us."

Magicus Inde nodded his head and said to her with a smile.

"That sounds like what someone you can't trust would say."

Floriana Sabina replied with a frown.
