In the following days, nothing particularly strange happened anymore.
Shane had also informed everyone residing at the Beizut Family's home about his upcoming journey to Duke Sterling's domain, so that they were all aware.
Upon learning that Shane was set to head to Duke Sterling's domain to suppress the Old Demon Clan Faction, Vivian and her companions had offered to accompany him.
Shane did give some thought to setting out with Vivian and the others, but recalling that they had only recently survived a crisis and that Luoqi had claimed their journey would be fraught with difficulties, he decided against involving the girls, so as not to drag them into trouble. Instead, he stated he would travel with Ai Yi, reassuring everyone that they needn't worry.
Understandably, knowing that Ai Yi would be accompanying Shane, the girls felt relieved and promptly gave up any thought of going along.
As Tielle put it...
