If there was a grudge, he wanted to know what kind, and how it came about. Kian’s dark eyes held a probing look as his fingers lightly brushed the sword hilt, waiting for an answer.

If the person was decent, Nyx might want to reconnect. But if they weren’t–if they’d abandoned Nyx on purpose–he’d protect her and take revenge on her behalf.

Magnus instinctively shook his head to deny it, then hesitated, almost nodding, his face a mess of conflicting emotions. He paced back and forth irritably before finally grumbling, “Not exactly an enemy. Kid, you ever heard of the Sublime?”

Seeing Kian’s blank look, Magnus had to explain, and once he started venting, he couldn’t stop. “Better if you haven’t. Steer clear of them in the future–keep your distance!”

They were the biggest oddballs in the cultivation world. The whole sect practiced a weird technique–male or female, didn’t matter–they all acted flirty and passionate, roping people into dual cultivation, breaking hearts left and right, then ditching without a shred of responsibility.

Even with countless folks falling for their tricks and the sect’s reputation in the gutter, there were still naive fools thinking they’d be the exception–the one to lock down a lifelong partner–diving in headfirst to get burned again.

Some locked away their hearts after the heartbreak and focused on cultivation; others fell apart completely, prodigies crashing down to nothing.

Point is, the Sublime was nothing but trouble. Magnus ranted on, unloading his resentment, and Kian picked up the gist as he listened. “So Fiona is-”

“The Sublime’s sect leader,” Magnus snapped, clearly annoyed.

Getting the answer he’d expected, Kian nodded slightly. So his guess was right. A messy love affair. “Nyx looks a lot like her?”

Magnus had almost forgotten about that. The question caught him off guard, and he nodded after a pause. “Yeah, a lot.”
