Chapter 864 Different Directions of Development
The journey was smooth and uneventful, with Beastmen diligently protecting them along the way.
These Beastmen had received orders from the royal court and treated them with cautious attention. Zhao Guang even had thoughts of deliberately causing trouble to see how they would react.
However, he suppressed these thoughts quickly; it was manageable alone, but inappropriate with so many people.
A poor performance wouldn’t just be embarrassing; it could lead to who knows what kind of trouble.
Thus, Zhao Guang caused no incidents and led the group into the Elf Forest. Upon entering, Alya’s spirits noticeably lifted compared to the mood in her own territory.
Although Zhao Guang placed no restrictions on Alya, being an elf in a foreign environment inevitably affected her psychologically. Now, returning to the Elf Forest was like coming home.
However, the feeling was different from before, and even Alya couldn’t describe what that feeling was.
On the other hand, Sophie, the young girl, seemed to lose her spirits completely.
It was noteworthy that this little princess had recently advanced to an Advanced Elemental Master; normally, she shouldn’t be so dispirited. The only reason could be her concern over being controlled upon returning home.
Yet Zhao Guang didn’t pay much attention to it and found it rather amusing.
After all, this little girl was usually too lively, and seeing her so subdued was quite funny.
In fact, Zhao Guang was not worried about Sophie being detained, as the Elf Royal Family allowing her to stay in Xuanwu Territory showed they had agreed not to forcibly keep her.
