The Story Never Ends
Chapter 140 - Teaching Nora A Lesson

Although those treasures would be useless for them as they contained a terrifying amount of energy that they couldn't absorb, they could still exchange them for contribution points. So, they had gleeful smiles on their faces. However, her next words poured cold water on their heads.

"Hehe, but I've got some news that will disappoint you all." Nora chuckled while looking at their expression.

"Since there are powerful treasures appearing, how strong can their guardians be?"

The moment she said this, they became enlightened and finally understood where she was hinting at. Every time the Secret Realm opened, there would be strange creatures protecting those treasures.

They were made from the aura of heavens and earth and were quite powerful. If you couldn't kill them fast then, they would instantly recover with the aura in the Secret Realm. Then they would tire you out and slowly kill you.

"Damn, doesn't this mean that they would be more troublesome than ever?" They became worried.

"Nora, just get to the point. I'm sure you've come well prepared for it." Leyla knew her character very well.

"Of course." Nora nodded and continued, "So, I suggest we should team up. We will then divide the treasures later on."

The disciples didn't get excited when they heard it. This was because they thought that she might take away most of those treasures. What can they even do if she asks for all? They can only lower their heads and accept it. This was also why almost everybody went alone in the Secret Realm except for some weaker disciples.

While they were hesitating, a beam of light dropped down from the sky and crashed a few meters away from them.

"Bang"

They looked over and saw a young man with yellow hair coming towards them.

"Senior Brother Liam." They bowed respectfully as he was the strongest inner court disciple in the Sect if not talking about the masked man.

Liam smiled and thought, "Even though I lost against him, I'm still popular."

He then came to the side of Nora and greeted her, "Junior Sister, how are you?" As for Leyla, he didn't even take a look at her. This was due to the feud between her and Nora as well as the elders behind them. Everyone in the sect knew how the elders favored Nora instead of Leyla. So, everyone with a right-brain knew whom they had to bootlick.

"I'm fine." She replied.

Liam nodded and said, "Junior Sister, I listened to everything you said earlier and it makes sense. So, why don't I join you?"

The disciples had their mouths wide open when they saw how shameless their senior brother was becoming day by day.

Liam didn't think too much about what they thought and confidently said, "I think you all should team up with us. With our abilities, we might be able to conquer the whole Secret Realm."

The disciples glanced at each other and decided to agree with it. They knew that their relationship would become sour if they didn't follow him. Thus, they could only go with the flow.

Nora became happy when she saw this and mocked Leyla, "See this is what I meant by not everything is about fighting."

Leyla had a cold look on her face and didn't reply to her. She had a feeling that they might create some troubles for her in the Secret Realm. Not only that, it wouldn't be surprising even if she returned empty-handed.

While she was thinking about what to do, there was some commotion going behind them. She gazed in that direction and saw a beautiful young girl with red hair nearing them.

"Look, it's Senior Sister Olivia."

"My God! Today all the top disciples are gathering here."

"Is she also looking to form a team?"

While the disciples were gazing at her curiously, she did something crazy that made everyone's eyes nearly popped out.

"Nora, you dare to bully the disciples here." She released her full cultivation which immediately pushed Nora a few steps back.

"You…" Nora couldn't believe that someone would talk to her like that. Especially when that person was Olivia with whom she never had a dispute.

"Stop it, Olivia. We were trying to protect them since the Secret Realm looks dangerous right now. It's not what you think." Liam also released his cultivation base and then dispersed her aura.

Nora wanted to say something but Olivia didn't give her the chance. She looked at the disciples and asked "Do you all really want to team up with them?"

The disciples became silent and lowered their heads. From their heart, they really wanted to say no. But they knew that they would definitely offend them if they did this.

Nora felt satisfied when she saw this. Or else she would have lost her face here. She then cast a cold glance at Olivia and said, "See, I didn't force them. You should apologize to me now."

"Humph, you are not qualified to talk to me." She disappeared and came ahead of Nora in the blink of an eye. Then before she could react, she gave her a hard slap on her face.

"Smack"

A clear sound was heard and Nora was flung like a cannonball.

"Bang"

She crashed on the ground and lay there. Afterward, she didn't even move an inch.

It became deathly silent as everything happened too fast.

Only after a while did Liam react, "Olivia, how dare you?"

But before he could do something, a loud screech was heard and he saw Nora's mount rushing towards Olivia.

"Damn, should I also make a move together?" his mind was in a mess. If he attacked right now, he might look coward infront of these disciples.

"A mere beast…" Olivia scoffed and was about to attack when a powerful pressure descended upon all of them.

"Halt" An imposing voice sounded and with his voice, the mount all of a sudden paused.

Everyone looked in that direction and saw an old man standing in the air.

"Greetings, Elder Vance."

All the disciples bowed towards him including Davion.

"Oh! I finally knew about this old man's name." Davion exclaimed. Indeed, this old man was the elder in charge of the spiritual arts hall.

"Didn't all of you not listen to my voice earlier?" Elder Vance's voice came into their ears like thunder.

"We apologize, elder." They spoke at the same time and realized their mistake. Who could have thought that there would be such interesting events happening here? They even forgot about the passing of time.

"Humph, don't make me wait any longer." He disappeared immediately.

Feeling that the pressure was gone, the mount finally moved. Yet, it didn't go after Olivia but rather towards Nora. After nearing her, it picked her up with its beak and flew straight into the sky.

"It's finally over." The disciples sighed and ran towards the mission hall. They would never be able to forget this incident.

Seeing them leave, Davion said, "Let's go."

Leyla nodded but suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Wait"

She heard this voice and immediately recognized who it was.

"Senior Sister Olivia"

"Hi! You can just call me Olivia," Olivia smiled at her. She seemed very polite and completely different than a few minutes ago.

"I'm Leyla," Leyla also introduced herself.

"Daughter of Elder Liliana, who doesn't know you in the sect?" Olivia praised her.

"It's nothing," She waved her hands and then seriously said, "Why did you make a move on Nora? I'm sure she would definitely try to take revenge on you."

"Let her do whatever she wants. I replace her annoying," Olivia replied.

Seeing her so carefree she shook her head and said, "I think she will create some troubles for you in the Secret Realm. So, you have to be careful tomorrow."

"Aren't you also the same?" Olivia chuckled.

"Yes. But I have my mother. So, she won't go too harsh on me." Leyla answered.

"Hiaz, so lucky…" Olivia gave her an envious look.

Leyla thought for a while and suggested, "Why don't we team up like them? Maybe she would give me some face and pardon you."

"No, no. It might be inconvenient," Olivia refused.

"How could it be? It would be a pleasure to have a top inner court disciple like you to join us," Leyla caught her hands and smiled.

"Us? Do you mean the person behind you?" Olivia didn't agree but looked at the young man behind her.

"Yes. His Davion." Leyla introduced him.

Davion just waved his hands in greeting and seized her from top to bottom. He was replaceing something strange about this girl. Yet, he couldn't pinpoint it.

"Ok! Then let's go inside. We have already been delayed here for a long time." Leyla pulled Olivia's hands and began moving forward.

When they bypassed Davion, Olivia suddenly turned her head and winked at Davion.

"This…" Davion became speechless.

"What did she mean? Is she attracted by my handsome look?"
