"Do not worry, as I said before,

I do not belong to the Skyfall Kingdom."

Nux muttered with a small smile on his face.

"Huh?" Ember, however, frowned when she heard those words.

"How is that possible? You are going to become an Emperor Stage Cultivator, there is no way the Skyfall Kingdom will let you go.

I assume that you are being manipulated by your teacher.

The higher-ups in the Skyfall Kingdom must already know about you by now." Since she was already in a very confused state, she wasn't able to control herself and spoke directly.

Nux, however, shook his head and muttered.

"Believe me, I do not belong to the Skyfall Kingdom."

"..."

Ember turned silent.

She wanted to say that Nux was being ridiculous and was being lied to, however, seeing those eyes, she was unable to say those words out loud.

There was not a glimpse of uncertainty in those eyes.

She felt like Nux knew what he was talking about.

However, as a General, she understood the working of her Dynasty.

She knew how what lengths could the higher-ups of a Power could go in order to get what they want.

This is not true for the Skyfall Kingdom or the Woods Dynasty alone. It is true for every single power in this world.

From a Baron's house to the Royal Family, the core of power is always the same.

Nux, however, seems to be completely clueless about this, therefore, for some reason, Ember decided to tell the truth about this world.

"Think with me here.

Since you live in the Skyfall Kingdom, there have to be many people who know about your talent.

There is no way someone like you can stay hidden.
