Chapter 277
Chapter 277
It was the fifth of April, and the spring breeze was strong.
Even in the northernmost part of Earlington of Efrax, the air also brought it a sense of warmth.
In the morning, Lucy heard that Jessica received a letter, and she shut herself behind the closed door.
Then, Lucy completely ignored the fact that she just shoved a piece of spiritual fruit in her mouth, and she hurriedly ran toward the courtyard Jessica stayed in like a hamster with bulging cheeks.
“Lady Jessica must’ve received Casper’s letter! I didn’t expect Casper to reply to Jessica as I thought he was a blockhead!”
Lucy lifted her dress and swiftly ran across the Dark Moon Sect’s pathway, and her adorable appearance attracted many people’s attention.
Some male disciples were not aware of her identity and wanted to strike up a conversation with her, but Lucy disregarded them and left before they could say anything.
Hence, those people could only watch Lucy’s petite figure and sighed helplessly.
“Lady Jessica! Lady Jessica, I heard you…” Just as she entered the courtyard, Lucy excitedly exclaimed.
However, before she could finish her words, the tightly shut door in front of her opened with a loud thud.
Soon, Jessica walked out of the house, the corner of the envelope, and her pretty face frowned slightly.
When Lucy saw Jessica’s expression, her heart trembled.
Lucy quickly covered her mouth and looked around as she thought, ‘What’s happening? Why does Lady Jessica look so terrifying? Did I guess wrongly, and it was not a letter from Casper? Perhaps it was Casper‘s, but he decided to abandon Lady Jessica, which angered her?’
Just as Lucy let her imagination run wild, she saw Jessica scoffing.
“Dummy? Humph!”
Jessica’s heavy grunt shocked Lucy.
Lucy was taken aback for a moment, and she carefully asked, “Lady… Lady Jessica, what dummy?”
Jessica only noticed Lucy then, and she could not help but blush.
“Nothing.
What are you doing here?”
Lucy’s eagle eyes took the opportunity to peep at the letter in Jessica’s hand.
The first few words flashed past her eyes, and she vaguely saw the word, ‘Dummy’.
“What in the world?!”
Lucy wanted to take a closer look, but Jessica caught her little actions.
With a straight face, Jessica folded the letter.
Then, she pinched Lucy’s chubby cheeks and asked, “Little Lucy, I’m asking you what you’re doing here?”
As Jessica pinched her, Lucy could only mumble incoherently, “I heard you received a letter, Lady Jessica…”
“That’s right.
I’ve received a letter,” Jessica nodded and waved her hand, “And, I’ve decided to visit the Heavenly Stars Sect.”
“Ha?!” Lucy jumped up in surprise.
Jessica nodded and replied, “Pack our bags! We’re leaving in a bit.”
“Lady Jessica, this is too sudden! Why do you want to visit the Heavenly Stars Sect?” Lucy was shocked, “What did Casper write in the letter?”
Jessica bit her lips, and she hesitated for a moment before answering Lucy, “The content of the letter is formal, and he just mentioned the matters that happened after he entered the Heavenly Stars Sect.
Besides that, he also clarified the few questions I had with cultivations.
More importantly… More importantly, I heard a piece of news when I received the letter.”
“What news?” Lucy was even more puzzled, “Is Casper pregnant?”
“What the hell is wrong with you?!” Jessica glared at Lucy angrily, “I heard this from the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciple that delivered the letter.”
Then, Jessica sorted her emotions and explained everything to Lucy.
When she received the letter, she was indeed surprised and happy.
After all, she was unsure whether Caspian would write back to her, and there was only a slight expectation in her heart.
Hence, when her expectation manifested, the joy she felt was indescribable.
However, along with the good news, the disciple that delivered the letter also informed her about Caspian’s severe injuries at the Mirefield Gate.
At that moment, the scene in the forest once again appeared in Jessica’s mind, where Caspian stood in front of her so that she had a chance to run away.
“Each time he needs me, I’m not by his side.” The thought grew uncontrollably like weeds in Jessica’s heart.
“I want to see him! I need to visit him!”
That was the first time the thought became so intense since Jessica left Evergreen Town for Dark Moon Sect.
“Pack our things.
I’m going to ask for Master’s permission, and we’ll leave once she allows it.”
Just as Jessica ordered Lucy to do that, Jessica heard a woman’s voice in front of her.
“Where are you going?”
Jessica looked up and swiftly saw a charming lady in a gorgeous long dress walking into her courtyard.
The lady appeared to be in her late twenties, and she had the youth of a teenager and the maturity of a woman, a mixture of majesty, elegance, and nobility.
Anywhere she went, she would surely cause a sensation among the men.
Nonetheless, that was the Dark Moon Sect, and no one dared to be rude to her.
That lady was Jessica’s master, one of the Dark Moon Sect’s outstanding talents, and the Heavenly Spirit Realm formidable cultivator, Chloe Lutley!
“Master Chloe!” Jessica exclaimed and hurriedly greeted Chloe.
She did not expect that her own teacher would suddenly visit her.
At the thought of how Chloe might have overheard her words just now, Jessica felt her ears warming, and she knew that her face was as red as a beetroot now.
“I have nothing to do today, so I just came out for a walk and thought of visiting you.” The beautiful Chloe looked at Jessica up and down, and she nodded.
“The Pure Jade Physique indeed lives up to its name. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Your progress is much faster than I expected.”
“It’s all thanks to your great teaching, Master Chloe,” Jessica replied bashfully, “Master Chloe, there’s something I need to discuss with you.”
Chloe glanced at Jessica, and her gaze fell on the letters in Jessica’s hand.
Soon, Chloe nodded and asked, “Where are you planning to go?”
Since she made her mind up, there was no reason to back down at that time.
Thus, Jessica gritted her teeth and answered, “I’d like to ask your permission to visit the Heavenly Stars Sect in South Earlington to meet a friend, Master Chloe.”
After pondering for a moment, Chloe asked, ”Are you sure it’s only a friend?”
Jessica panicked.
Chloe’s question was straightforward, but Jessica was exasperated, and she was at a loss for words.
Based on their backgrounds, Jessica was set by her elders to marry Caspian.
In truth, nothing happened between them until now.
Moreover, Jessica was unsure whether Caspian even liked her.
Nevertheless, the panic only lasted for a second, and Jessica immediately calmed down.
Then, she looked at Chloe and said, “The reason for visiting Heavenly Stars Sect is also to confirm about this matter.”
Suddenly, Chloe’s tone turned serious, and she asked, “Do you think it’s worth wasting a lot of training time for someone you’re not sure of?”
Chloe‘s Heavenly Spirit Realm aura slightly seeped out, but Jessica already felt pressured, and the air surrounding turned dense and heavy.
On the other hand, Lucy was already too afraid to make any noise.
