Jen had taken permission beforehand from her mentor that she wanted to visit the nearest Manias for the purchase of necessities.

Now she had a wonderful plan too.

Since the first disciple had no practical experience of open battle, he could practice in any Manias.

After some distance, she appeared again with the bewildered first disciple and Annchi.

Their heads were still dizzy.

"Senior... What happened...!!" Annchi asked.

"We are heading toward nearest Manias where we will spend some time, remember to take care of each other_!!" Jen did not forget to remind them.

Jen led them, mountain, where they were living, was like a shelter, they could get what they needed at the least, the old mentor was doing things himself but if the old mentor was no more, they would become orphans again, they needed to learn and live on their own. Currently, they share the same fate in some ways.

The trio walked a long distance to reach the nearest Manias, they entered from the essence barrier fabric exit and saw the grandeur of this Manias.

Annchi behaved little strange, "We should not be here, here people are heartless, they could abandon their own blood for no reason...!!" her eyes were watery and she hurriedly tried to stop Jen from going in.

"Whatever reasons caused them to abandon their blood must be known someday_the real difficulty is to know whether their blood is ready to abandon them_!!" Jen's statement shocked Annchi.

"Senior...?" Annchi was short of the free tongue.

"There is the reason for every happening_find out the reason and kill_!!" Jen was saying in a manner which was shocking for Annchi since she was addicted to obediently follow the words of this senior sister, she was chewing and digesting every spoken word of her.

"I don't dare to doubt the words of this senior_but I don't know how I would do it_!!" Annchi was helpless.

"As time pa.s.ses_ you'll eventually know what should do and how it should be_??" Jen waved her hand.

"Senior disciple_I have a say for you_ you are going to challenge a Monarch Sage on the Challengers ring_!!" Jen had thought it thoroughly, the days they would spend here would be to harvest three objectives, first to collect Jade pins, second experience, and third shopping the necessities.

The first disciple was bewildered to hear it but he composed himself soon, he needed practical experience through these challenges, indeed Jen was thoughtful for him, "How could we enter in some challenger ring and propose a challenge_ they don't accept the outsider challengers_!!" he had visited this Manias and happened to know few rules regarding challenger ring.

"Who said we would propose challenge_? We are going to challenge the winner_of course they had no issue with this rule_!!" Jen said nonchalantly.

The first disciple was on the verge of collapse because of her two sentences, when did we have qualifications to challenge the challenger? How on earth we would challenge a challenger? You are so calm! Oh! why are you so calm? Are you trying to bet my life? the first disciple inhaled a deep breath. He did not say anything to Jen and he would never say such stupid things openly.

She was leading them without any concern about their inner thoughts.

They walked through streets, Jen stopped at the display screen, tomorrow two challenge matches were supposed to be held, one was a pinnacle Monarch to fight with another pinnacle Monarch Sage while one was the base Monarch Sage which means he just stepped on Monarch Sage level.

"You'll challenge the first match winner and I will challenge the second match winner_is that clear? Do you have any objection?" Jen looked at his fallen mouth and asked.

"Mmm...it'll be okay...I have no objection..." what could he say other than this. If he could not challenge a base level Monarch Sage then he should forget to partic.i.p.ate in the Intermediate Contemplation Battles!

"Then let's have a good meal today_and find a lodge too_Annchi we'll go on shopping after that_!!" she slightly smiled to see their concerned expressions.

The first disciple was trying hard to keep himself composed, he was nervous, he has beaten severely even a friendly match, how he would stand against a true opponent?

Leaving both at the entrance of eatery, Jen went in to ask for a table and order meal, she intends to purchase special meal which would increase their strength for tomorrow's fight.

Standing at the entrance of such grand eatery, they feel foreign.

"Beauty you should not stand beside a nervous** man...come try this thigh...this thigh is confident...!!" while entering in the eatery one of the two men intentionally brushed his shoulders with Annchi and laughed while looking at the first disciple.

Annchi was usually ready to answer anything but today she was not on the mountain, she shrank toward the first disciple, when he saw the man spouting nonsense, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders to indicate that he was ready to pick him anytime.

"What...? Suddenly nervous dude is gone...Did I trigger lifeline***?" he smirked.

"If I say something now...I am afraid I might ruin your laugh and day... also if you really insist, I can smack your head several times... oh no...I never thought to dirty my hands dealing with b.a.s.t.a.r.d but if you like... I would not disappoint my darling...!!" the first disciple increased the force on his arm which resulted for Annchi to be glued to his left side.

She was feeling suffocated but still, she did not resist.

"Do you bet...? I will s.n.a.t.c.h your girl definitely...whoever will win the match, will win the girl...say do you dare...?" he saw the girl and her expressions, she was innocent and cute, he wanted to get this girl no matter what.

Jen came and to see a royal girl coming toward them, they hurriedly left, they could mock this nervous man and his girl but not a royal woman, they saw Jen as a Royal woman in their eyes.

"This eatery is br.i.m.m.i.n.g with customers yet I manage to secure a table_come both of you_!!" she led them straight to their table.

"Did something troubled both of you_?" she saw the protective expressions on the face of first disciple and some horrible expressions on the face of Annchi.

"There is nothing serious about it_!!" inside he was clutching his teeth toward the man. Annchi looked at his face to hear his reply and choose to be silent. She was not his responsibility, she could understand from his reply, he just helped her in a situation nothing else, also, her senior sister instructed to take care of each other so he was just following instructions, she told herself!!
