Chapter 327
Cherished By Seven Sisters
Chapter 327 Sis Karina With a playful chuckle, Karina proceeded to collect some of the crystal-clear water nearby, using it to gently dab her face. After several attempts, she managed to cleanse her face, revealing her true beauty, which radiated with a mesmerizing glow.
Emrys, momentarily speechless, finally found the words to express his thoughts, âItâs truly astonishing.
You possess such natural beauty, and yet you seem determined to hide it beneath a layer of dirtâ¦
Wait, did you just mention tomb raiding?â
It took a moment for the seriousness of Karinaâs earlier statement to sink in, but when it did, Emrys couldnât hide his astonishment. âKarina, thatâs incredibly reckless of you! To think you would go as far as to disturb someoneâs final resting place?â
âDisturb? Oh, come on, Rys, youâve got it all wrong,â Karina replied, her expression a mix of frustration and disbelief. âThe tombs I explore have long been forgotten, with no one to claim them. Iâm not there to disrupt the peace; Iâm simply searching for demonic magic itemsâ¦â
Clearly annoyed, Karina paused, as if a sudden realization had struck her. âWait a second, didnât your mentor ever take you on a tomb exploration?â
âMy mentor?â
Emrys found himself utterly confused by Karinaâs strange question, almost convinced that she was delving into absurdity.
But Karina quickly clarified, âYes, your teacher, Athos. And mine is Mystique. Given their mentor-
student relationship, doesnât that make Athos my senior?â
âUhâ¦â
At that moment, Emrys felt as though his mind had been engulfed by a whirlwind of confusion.
He vaguely remembered the old friar mentioning that his spiritual name was indeed Athos, but Emrys had always assumed that his mentor was a solitary sect leader.
Karinaâs revelation, however, painted a very different picture, one that Emrys had never considered.
âI need a moment to process thisâ¦â Emrys took a deep breath, attempting to calm the storm of emotions within him. After regaining his composure, he ventured, âSo, what youâre suggesting is that we are actually part of the same spiritual lineage, and by that logic, you would be my junior in the sect?â
Emrys took another deep breath, trying to suppress the shock in his heart. It took him a while before he spoke again, âYou mean to say, we actually belong to the same sect, and you⦠in terms of seniority, are my junior?â
Seriously? My older sister is my junior?

Regaining his composure, Emrys playfully tapped Karina on the forehead, a hint of jest in his voice as he said, âWell then, shouldnât you address me with a bit more respect, as Mr. Lund?â
Expecting a retort, Emrys was taken aback when, instead, Karina assumed a formal posture, her hands clasped before her as she respectfully greeted, âMy regards to you, Mr. Lund.â
Her voice, clear and melodious, carried the tranquility of a secluded mountain retreat, the soothing sound reminiscent of wind chimes dancing in the breeze.
Never had Emrys imagined that a day would come when the roles would be reversed, and he would find himself in a position of seniority over Karina.
Wow, this is quite exhilarating!
âGive it another try, I want to hear it again.â
âHello, Mr. Lund.â
âOne more time, letâs hear it.â
Karina, momentarily taken aback by Emrysâs request, quickly responded with a mix of disbelief and irritation in her voice, âRys, are you actually trying to provoke me on purpose? Remember, Iâm still the older sister here!â
A flicker of irritation crossed Karinaâs otherwise serene face as she defiantly placed her hands on her hips, her patience evidently wearing thin. âAlright then, itâs your turn,â she declared, her voice challenging. âI want to hear you say âSis Karinaâ fifty times, and I mean it!â
Caught off guard by Karinaâs assertive response, Emrysâ previous air of smugness instantly disappeared, serving as a reminder that every action had consequences.
Dutifully, Emrys complied, repeating âSis Karinaâ the requested fifty times, his voice conveying a mix of respect and resignation. Once finished, he cautiously ventured, âSo, Karina, were you aware all this time that I was still alive?â
Karina nodded, her expression softening. âYes, my mentor informed me,â she confirmed. âBut I was sworn to secrecy, instructed not to utter a word of it to anyone, not even to our sisters. Thatâs why Iâve kept it a secret all this time!â
A wave of understanding and relief washed over Emrys, soothing the lingering doubts that had plagued his mind.
So, it wasnât that Karina had become indifferent towards me, Emrys pondered, feeling reassured. She had known about my survival all along, which explains the lack of overwhelming surprise or excitement upon our reunion.
Eager for answers, Emrys pressed on, his curiosity undiminished. âKarina, you mentioned our affiliation with a sect. Could you tell me its name? Where can it be found? And most importantly, 11:36 Wed, 31 Jan W.

The questions tumbled out in rapid succession, each one reflecting the deep yearning Emrys felt to unravel the mysteries that seemed to surround his very existence.
Ever since I returned to Jadeborough, Iâve been entangled in a web of enigmas, each more perplexing than the last. It seems that reconnecting with my mentor holds the key to unraveling these puzzles.
