Chapter 913

“Okay.”

The two quickly found a cave and collected a pile of firewood to start a fire.

Crackle…

Hiss…

As the campfire crackled, the cold around them dissipated considerably.

To avoid the awkwardness they had experienced before, Andrius did not mention helping Kate thistime. They each tended to their own clothes and took turns warming them by the fire, so nothinghappened.

“Thanks.” Andrius thought of the perilous situation in the water and said sincerely, “If not for you, Imight have…”

He did not finish his sentence and simply shook his head.

At that moment, Kate’s face was illuminated by the fire, making her look radiant.

He did not know what she was thinking.

At his words, she snapped back to reality and looked at Andrius with clear eyes that seemed somewhatdisappointed.

“It’s okay.” Kate shook her head and said seriously, “Actually… when you said that I was the onlyperson you trusted in the Medicine Sect and didn’t hesitate to teach me acupuncture techniques, Ialready had a feeling.”

Andrius had spoken from the heart.

When he heard Kate speaking so sadly now, he fell silent and listened to her.

Kate’s large eyes stared straight at him, reflecting his resolute face. “I had a feeling that there’s aninexplicable bond or fate between us.”

Fate?

Andrius was slightly puzzled.

“Did you know?” Kate continued, “I’ve heard countless flattering words since childhood, but none ofthem touched my heart like your casual words.”

Andrius did not understand. He raised his brows and said half–jokingly, “What, even as the Maiden ofthe Medicine Sect, are there people who make you uncomfortable?”

“It’s not exactly uncomfortable.” Kate smiled wryly and ran her fingers through her hair. Actually, I’m notfrom the Klein family. Grandpa found me. I heard that it was during a night of snowstorm.

“Grandpa found me, held me all night, and decided that I would be the Maiden.

“On the surface, I seem to be the Maiden of the sect, but in reality, many people in the Medicine Sectdon’t think highly of me, especially the direct descendants of the Medicine Sect. They call me the‘Abandoned Maiden‘ in private.”

The smile on Kate’s smile turned more bitter as she spoke. As an orphan, she carried too much overthe years. She appeared glamorous on the surface but cried silently in private.

Andrius comforted her, “Kate, after we return, if you’re not happy in the Medicine Sect, you can comeand replace me anytime. You should know that I’m the Wolf King.

“My eight commanders and the dozens of subordinates under my command are all brothers bonded bylife and death. There won’t be anyone speaking ill of you behind your back.

“At that time, I’ll take you to see the beauty of the northern frontier and the magnificence of the desert.

“It’s a completely different exotic experience from Kiyoto.”

Andrius did not know why, but since Kate had used acupuncture to treat him, he had felt aninexplicable sense of closeness to her. Thus, he could not help but speak from the heart when heheard about her unfortunate experiences.

Kate’s sorrowful expression dissipated somewhat. She smiled at Andrius, her large eyes curving intobeautiful crescents. “Andrius, thank you for listening to me, but I need to return to the Medicine Sect assoon as possible. Otherwise, my grandpa will worry.

“After this matter is resolved, if there’s a chance, I’ll definitely go to the western territory to visit you.”

Andrius nodded. He also wanted to return as soon as possible. He needed to ask his master aboutwhat exactly was happening.
