The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 248

“Disregard the formalities?” Vivian asked.

He did not know why, but it felt strange.

“That’s right.

We’re friends now.

You don’t have to be so uptight around me,” Maya said calmly.

In truth, Maya had butterflies in her stomach, and she only dared to peep at Mozart, trying to catch any of his reactions.

Maya was yet to realize that she never cared about an opposite sex’s response before.

”Okay.” Vivian nodded.

Although it implied that their relationship was more intimate now, Vivian did not overthink.

When Vivian agreed, joy flashed in Maya’s heart.

However, she felt an inexplicable hint of disappointment when Vivian did not say more.

Nonetheless, before letting her imagination run wild, the ship to cross the lake was there.

After they boarded the ship, Wesley looked at Maya and Boneng.

“Are you two aware of the mission this time?”

Perhaps it was his old age, but when Wesley talked, he sounded dispirited.

Nonetheless, Wesley did not seem young, and he might be around 80 years old in the mortal world, which was the age of a senile old man.

“Noah mentioned that the sect wants us to cross the Darnley Valley and deliver an item.

However, he didn’t say anything about the specifics but just asked me to listen to your order,” Vivian answered.

Wesley snorted.

“Noah is getting better with his words over the years.

Maya, why don’t you inform Casper of our mission this time.”

Maya nodded and explained, “Casper, we’re going to help Elder Wesley deliver an item.

We’ll pass by the Darnley Valley and arrive at Moonbright Town.

After the matter is done, we can get fifteen sect contribution points.”

“Fifteen!” Vivian was stunned.

Even after getting into the top ten of the spiritual apprentice list and becoming an influential figure among the 15000 apprentices, Vivian was only awarded ten sect contribution points.

However, that trip was only for running errands, and he would get 15 sect contribution points.

It was no surprise that Maya said it was great news.

It seemed that Maya saw through Vivian’s thoughts, and she blinked.

Then, she whispered, “The return trip will take us at most ten days, and we’ll use the trade route all the way, so there won’t be any danger.

It can be said to be one of the most cost-effective tasks in the sect.”

Vivian nodded, expressing his understanding.

After crossing the lake and exiting the gate of the Heavenly Star Sect, Wesley stopped.

Next, he signaled Vivian and Maya to change into the casual outfits he prepared.

Wesley did not ask them to change into the so-called casual clothes on the spot.

If he did, Maya would disagree.

The casual clothes were talismans prepared by Wesley, which could change the color of the robes they wore and hide the Heavenly Stars Sect’s logos.

Hence, outsiders would not know they were the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples, but just ordinary people.

Although Vivian was puzzled over that action, he did not say anything.

After all, Noah did specifically remind him to follow Wesley’s orders.

Once they were done, the three of them continued their journey, heading north.

Six days later, they finally arrived at Darnley Valley.

Upon seeing Darnley Valley, Vivian could not help but gasp.

Before that, he knew that Heavenly Stars Sect was located in South Earlington, and the temperature would be warm all year round.

Even during the coldest time of the year, which was the end of January and early February, South Earlington would still be warmer than the spring in the north.

Hence, not only would South Earlington never freeze, but no one would ever feel the cold there.

However, the Darnley Valley was covered in snow, and there would be crunching sounds when people walked in them.

Moreover, they could also feel the slight chill in between breathing.

The area was all white, and the snowflakes fell obliquely.

Not only Mozart, but Maya’s eyes also flashed with excitement when she saw the scene.

Her cherry lips parted, and she appeared extremely enchanting.

Wesley seemed to have anticipated their reactions, and he chuckled.

“I bet you didn’t expect South Earlington to have such an extraordinary sight, right?”

On their way here, Wesley did not speak to them except when he asked them to change their clothes once they were out of the sect.

Those who did not know him might even suspect he was a mute.

When they heard Wesley take the initiative to speak to them, Vivian and Maya thought it was a rare occurrence, and they nodded. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why is this place covered in snow?” Maya asked in confusion.

However, Wesley did not say anything anymore.

Without any explanation, he led everyone into the valley.

Before entering the valley, Vivian noticed that there were a lot of pedestrians entering and exiting the valley.

There would also be street vendors walking around, ordinary people, and even warriors among them.

Besides that, Vivian could also feel the faint spiritual Qi on some of them, which meant they were cultivators.

As they walked among the crowd, Vivian suddenly felt as if he returned to the mortal world and forgot that he entered the sect for quite some time.

Not long after, Maya had the same finding.

“Eh? Why are there more and more people?”

Near the entrance of the valley, it was surprisingly busy with people coming and leaving.

Initially, Vivian thought there would not be so many passersby due to its harsh environment.

However, it felt as if they were in a bustling city.

Even though it was not congested, there were more people than expected.

That time, Wesley chimed in and explained as he chuckled, “This is the only route to Moonbright Town.

Hence, there are naturally more people.”

“Why didn’t we just use the teleportation array?” Vivian asked a question that was on his mind for a long while.

Wesley glanced at him, giving him a hint.

Vivian quickly understood that it might have something to do with what Wesley delivered.

Then, Maya looked around and asked, “Elder Wesley, are we going through this Darnley Valley? Of course, as cultivators, we’re not afraid of the cold or heat.

However, I noticed that there are many ordinary people around.

How are they getting there? Aren’t they afraid of the cold?”

“You‘ll know the answer soon.

I’m going there for a while, so wait for me here.

Don’t wander around,” Elder Wesley ordered the two and headed toward the crowd.

Looking at his frail appearance, one could not help but wonder if his bones would crack if he were squeezed in the crowd.

Once Wesley disappeared among people, Maya could not help but ask, ”I heard from other seniors that Elder Wesley is a strange person.

I finally witnessed it.”

“You received the same warning too? Did they say anything else?” Vivian curiously asked.
