If I can't be the lover by his side, let me be his friend standing behind him... Noa appeared to be in a daze as she repeated the line to herself in her head.

After what seemed like a long time, she declared with a determined nod of her head, “Junie, you were right. I've made up my mind. I won't go to China with Ye Fan. I'll remain here to help him cement his authority in India. If there comes a day when everyone turns against him, I'll be the safe harbor for him to seek refuge in!”

After talking to Junie, she had gained a much clearer perspective of her internal struggles over the past few days. Even if I like a person, I can't insist on him liking me back. Perhaps I can also find happiness in standing behind him and watching over him from afar. Just like what Junie said, even if I can't be his lover, I can still find contentment in being a friend that he can turn to in times of need.

The heart to heart talk that Noa had with Junie had brought the two of them closer to each other.

From that day on, Noa started looking upon Junie as her sister. “If someone as remarkable as Junie can't win over Ye Fan's heart, who am I to think I can keep him by my side?”

After she sorted out her feelings on the matter, she felt relieved of the burden she had been carrying in her heart.

Following Ye Fan's move into seclusion, peace was returned to the once-chaotic martial arts world in India.

However, to Noa and Junie, the challenge had just begun.

They were just two women who had no martial arts training and no physical prowess. It would be an uphill battle for them to lead the entire sect and make their subordinates submit to them.

Nevertheless, the storm seemed to have been quelled in India.

The same could not be said about the rest of the martial arts world, where a new storm was just beginning to brew.

First of all, the Grandmasters who had gone to India to attend the wedding seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Secondly, news of the demise of Fen Tian, the King of India, was just beginning to spread across the martial arts world.

Finally, the most astounding news of all was the reappearance of Chu Tianfan, the Dragon God Hall Master who once topped the Sky Ranking!

As the saying goes, one stone creates a thousand ripples.

These three pieces of news were spread like shockwaves across the world.

The Folo Palace in India was inundated with calls from the heads of Western Epea, Remdik, the Sword Shrine in Japan, and the War God Castle in China, all wanting to find more information.

The calls were answered personally by King Folo. “Hello, Mr. Aaron! What? Your representatives from Remdik have yet to return to your country? Oh, I'm not sure about that.”

He continued. “Really? Fen Tian is dead? Is it just a rumor? I saw him returning to his wedding chamber on the wedding day itself with my own eyes.”

There was more. “What? Chu Tianfan is back? That's even more ridiculous! If he's back in India, how would I not know about it?”

He picked up many calls that were similar in content.

Without exception, he answered all of them with “I have no idea” or “I'm not sure”.
