Lea Dutton noticed a shift in the atmosphere between the two people and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce herself.
"Miss Sutton, I am a mber of The Celestial Division."
After saying this, Lea Dutton took out a token from her bag.
It was the emblem of The Celestial Division.
Sarah Sutton hesitated after hearing this and glanced at the token in Lea’s hand.
Sarah furrowed her brows slightly; it was indeed the emblem of The Celestial Division.
So, the person before her really was a mber of The Celestial Division.
The Sutton Family has always maintained contact with The Celestial Division, so facing a mber, Sarah gradually withdrew her hostility.
"What brings a mber of The Celestial Division to Mount Nimbus?"
Previously, The Celestial Division promised the Sutton Family to ensure their privacy and not interfere, thus never truly seeking their location.
Yet Lea’s actions left Sarah feeling uncertain.
Sarah looked at the faces of Lea Dutton and Hope Norwood, feeling a sense of familiarity.
"Miss Sutton, have you seen Selena Kensington, our film’s director...?"
Lea asked.
Upon hearing this, Sarah finally realized why Lea Dutton and Hope Norwood seed familiar.
She had seen these two on the film set.
"Who are you to Selena Kensington?"
Sarah looked at them inquisitively.
Lea explained to Sarah Sutton, "I’m her assistant, and this is her bodyguard."
"She hasn’t returned for a day, and we were worried about her, so we ca up the mountain to find her."
Sarah withdrew her investigative gaze, "She’s fine, co with ."
Then Sarah turned and left.
Lea Dutton and Hope Norwood exchanged a glance and followed Sarah.
Soon, Sarah led them to where the Sutton Family resided.
Lea spoke from behind, "Strange, I feel familiar with these places, but why haven’t I seen this path..."
Earlier, Sarah explained, "There is a unique flower on Mount Nimbus nad ’Gan Xue Flower’; its secretions disrupt outsiders, preventing them from finding our true location."
"Of course, those with the Heavenly Master Bloodline are an exception."
This has been the secret allowing the Sutton Family to live deep within Mount Nimbus unbothered.
It’s all thanks to the Gan Xue Flower.
Lea nodded slightly.
They then arrived at a wooden cabin with Sarah Sutton.
"Grandfather."
Sarah called out.
Dean Sutton erged from the house, "Sarah is back, Timothy left a short while ago."
Upon these words, his gaze quickly focused on the two behind Sarah, settling ultimately on Hope Norwood.
"Is this young lady with the Norwood Family?"
Dean Sutton probed.
Sarah suddenly turned back, "Are you with the Norwood Family?!"
Hope maintained her aloof deanor, "Yes."
Dean stroked his beard, "Sarah, invite the young ladies inside."
Sarah bit her lip slightly, casting a wary glance at Hope.
She initially thought Hope was also a mber of The Celestial Division, just like Lea Dutton, but didn’t expect her to be from the Norwood Family.
Lea was also puzzled as to how the elder imdiately recognized Hope as a Norwood, and upon realizing it, Sarah’s gaze held a touch of caution.
Then Lea Dutton and Hope Norwood followed Sarah into the wooden cabin.
"Sarah, pour so tea for our guests."
Dean Sutton instructed.
Sarah kept a cautious eye on Hope and was surprised by Dean’s words, blurting out, "But Grandpa, she..."
She’s from the Norwood Family!!!
Dean shook his head gently, "Go ahead."
"She isn’t from the main branch of the Norwood Family."
"Her aura isn’t strong; she was probably trained by the Norwood Family as a guard."
Upon hearing the elder’s words, not only were Sarah and Lea surprised, but Hope also couldn’t help but look at Dean Sutton.
This person, how does he know?
Looking at the puzzled eyes of the three in the cabin, Dean Sutton smiled softly.
Then he explained to them, "Mount Serpentis, where the Norwood Family resides, has always been a seat of the Beast Vein, plus the suppression by The Beast Lord, staying there for long would impart a trace of its aura."
"This young lady only has the faintest hint of it, not noticeable."
This is the gift that the mythical Qiong Qi bestows upon those who serve and submit to it.
Once touched by the Beast Lord’s aura, fortune is unpredictable.
Upon hearing Dean’s explanation, Sarah finally picked up the teapot and poured tea for everyone present.
"I apologize."
Sarah said to Hope.
Hope shook her head slightly.
Lea Dutton was sowhat curious, "Why are you so wary of people from the Norwood Family?"
Sarah snorted lightly, "After the end of ancient tis, many families chose to serve The Beast Lord, these people were despised by the Clan of Celestial Masters but also guarded against."
Lea nodded sowhat understandingly.
Hope scanned the surroundings and noticed the absence of the person she was looking for.
She furrowed her brows slightly, "Where is Madam?"
With Hope’s words, Lea rembered their purpose for coming this ti.
Quickly, she looked at Dean Sutton.
"She and her cousin went to The Celestial Vein."
"That place, even we can’t do anything. Only those with the true Heavenly Master Bloodline can enter."
Dean explained.
Lea hurriedly asked, "When will they co out?"
Dean furrowed his brows slightly, then shook his head, "It’s uncertain, but Timothy just took so provisions and returned to The Celestial Vein, so you might have to wait a few days."
Lea imdiately stood up, "A few days?! That’s not possible, no way..."
Tomorrow Sterling Norwood might arrive, letting him wait a few days?!
Lea did not want to suffer this trouble.
Even Hope, who always maintained a calm deanor, furrowed her brows at this mont.
Dean Sutton and Sarah Sutton looked at the two.
"What’s wrong?"
The grandfather and granddaughter asked.
Lea hesitated, "Before we ca, we inford Patriarch Norwood."
Lea swallowed hard.
"!!!!!!"
Sarah Sutton and Dean’s expressions changed instantly.
"And he should arrive at the latest by tomorrow..."
Lea continued.
Given Sterling’s importance on Selena Kensington, saying he would arrive tomorrow might have been Lea’s deliberate delay.
"...Grandfather, they shouldn’t find this place, right."
"And Mount Nimbus has so influence on The Beast Lord as well..."
Sarah whispered, her tone tinged with panic.
Dean soothed her with a glance.
"Rumor has it this generation’s Beast Lord is the strongest bloodline awakener in a century, so how far his abilities truly reach, I... cannot fathom."
Dean expressed.
Sarah’s lips quivered slightly.
"So should we just let them break in?"
"Sarah, calm down."
