"Tiscar, didn't we already introduce ourselves to each other? I only know their names too. Vastiya didn't tell me anything else," Ariad said.
"They don't look like anyone particularly formidable," Ariad continued.
"If that's the case, then Alexander and I have nothing to worry about. Two people with no sect or school—how much influence could they possibly have?" Tiscar said.
"Still, I think we should be more careful. What's happening this time is unusual, after all," Alexander said worriedly.
"If those two are actually formidable experts pretending to be weak, then all our efforts will have been for nothing," Alexander added.
"Alexander, brother, relax. You're being too cautious. What kind of formidable people could someone like my junior brother possibly know?" Ariad said dismissively.
"Anyway, the people from the Great Righteousness Pavilion have already reached the center of the island. I just wonder whether they've found that thing yet," Tiscar said.
"Perhaps we can take advantage of the chaos, then use these people as shields. When the crucial moment comes..." As Alexander spoke, he made a slashing gesture.
"Alexander, my brother, you really are clever," Tiscar said excitedly.
Ariad nodded lightly, showing his agreement with Alexander's idea. It was practically identical to what he had been thinking. Although seeing Vastiya alive had given him quite a fright, he still wanted to kill that annoying junior brother of his. This was the perfect opportunity—he could get rid of that irritating junior brother while also gaining some benefits for himself.
Everyone had their own little schemes, and the night passed without dreams. The next day, they continued onward.
After their discussion the previous night, the group deliberately headed toward the center of Ten Thousand Flowers Island.
Whenever they encountered high-grade spirit herbs along the way, they would stop to dig them up.
