Her eyes narrowed slightly.
"And I’m willing to bet there’s still a lot you’re hiding."
Grey remained silent.
His lack of response only seemed to convince Violet further.
"Hah. See? That’s exactly the reaction of someone hiding something."
She laughed before continuing to walk forward.
Her hands stretched behind her back as she leisurely strolled down the street, looking more like a tourist than a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
For a few moments, neither of them spoke.
The bustling sounds of the city filled the silence between them.
Eventually, Violet slowed her pace.
Without turning around, she spoke one final sentence.
"Just don’t hide your strength too much when those people arrive."
Her voice was quieter than before.
More serious.
For once, there was no teasing hidden within her words.
Only genuine advice.
Before Grey could respond, she casually waved a hand over her shoulder.
"See you later, little Grey."
With that, she turned into a nearby alleyway.
Grey watched her disappear.
Her figure moved deeper into the shadows before vanishing entirely, as though she had never been there in the first place.
The alley became empty once more.
Grey stood silently for several moments.
His gaze lingered on the place where Violet had disappeared.
Then he turned around and continued walking.
However, Violet’s words remained in his mind.
The arrival of the continental sects and the hidden geniuses of Sky Mist City. The hidden schemes of the elders and the possibility that powerful forces were preparing to reshape the balance of power within the region.
It seemed that the peaceful days ahead would not remain peaceful for very long.
