Chapter 173 - Real Experience

Although time was short, Roan didn't seem to mind losing a day. Rean also liked to pamper Malaka, so he was even more willing to do so.

Rean then went to the beast taming faction and borrowed four flying demon beasts. He promised to bring Malaka out to play, so it couldn't be in the sect. He decided to go to Majorias City with her. The other two flying demon beasts were obviously for Roan and Amanda.

"Let's go!"

They soon took flight and made their way to the city. The flying beasts they took this time were much better, so they only took two hours to arrive in Majorias. Malaka then began to talk about the things inside the Blue Orchid District. At the same time, Amanda pestered Roan about the Death Sword Style.

Finally, they arrived at the city and left the flying demon beasts with the city guards to take care.

"Alright, Malaka. Where do you want to go?"

Malaka's eyes brightened before saying.

"To buy clothes with my Senior Sister. She and all the other sisters love to use cute clothes when they are not in duty, I want them too!"

Amanda opened her eyes wide!

"Malaka!"

"Ah!"

Only then did Malaka remember that the sisters in the faction told her to keep those things a secret. The female disciples of the Blue Orchid always acted cold and aloof in front of everyone's eyes. That's the image they had built so far. Obviously, others shouldn't know about what they really liked to do when the rest of the sect wasn't looking.

"Sorry, Senior Sister."

Amanda could only sigh in the end. She then looked at Rean and Roan before saying with a cold voice.

"You didn't hear anything, understood? Otherwise, our deal is over."

Rean shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't worry, we have no reason to go against the Blue Orchid Faction."

As for Roan, he simply didn't care to start with.

Malaka apologized once more, and Amanda couldn't help but give in. Even she had to admit that Malaka was simply too cute to get angry at.

Malaka laughed once more before grabbing Amanda's hand, rushing in the distance. Amanda felt helpless as she was dragged away.

But before they bought anything, Amanda pulled Malaka into a hotel on the way. They got a room and quickly changed. When they came outside, their Sect Robes and Badge were gone, making it look like the two were only two common girls.

Amanda considers the reputation of the Blue Orchid very important, so she couldn't go out there buying clothes like a happy-go-girl with her faction clothes.

Surprisingly, as soon as the two girls left their room, they found out that Rean and Roan had also changed their clothes. Amanda was planning to tell them to do so, but it seemed like they had the same idea. She nodded, satisfied, and they quickly left the hotel. Rean and Roan simply followed after that. At the same time, Roan and Rean talked through their Soul Connection.

'Can you feel it?'

Rean nodded.

'She is acting as lively as always. However, I can tell that she is forcing it. It seems like something happened during her mission.'

Roan agreed with Rean.

'I have an idea about what happened, and I believe you do too. Still, I'm not good at these things, so you go and ask Malaka when an opportunity appears.'

Rean looked at Roan and nodded. Roan might be cold, but he wasn't really emotionless, especially when Malaka was involved. He did train her for several years after all. Although he probably wouldn't admit it, Malaka did have a special place in his heart. Of course, that was the same for Rean.

Rean, of course, ended paying for Malaka's things on their way. Well, it was just clothes, so he could be thousands of it and still have spirit stones remaining. In fact, Malaka could pay for such simple things on her own already. After all, she also got paid after she finished her first mission.

Time passed as they went everywhere. Obviously, they did more than just buy clothes for her. At some point, they went into a restaurant to eat something. Rean asked for a private room as well where they could eat in peace.

Once inside, their group quickly chose what to eat. From the looks of it, Amanda would really tag along until the end of the day. Rean then shook his head and gave up waiting for Amanda to leave.

He then got up and went to Malaka's side. Malaka, of course, was puzzled by his actions, Amanda even more so. Suddenly, he pushed her to his side and began to pat her head more gently than usual. He seemed to act a lot more intimate than the other times Amanda had seen.

Amanda couldn't help but ask with an unhappy face.

"What you doing to our faction's little sister?"

However, Rean completely ignored her and looked at Malaka with a serious expression.

"There is no need to hide it. Tell your big brother why you are sad. Did something happen?"

Malaka was taken aback by that.

"I..."

Rean continued.

"Don't lie. You might be able to deceive others, but do you really think you can hide it from Roan and me? How many years have you spent with us? We are your big brothers, you know?"

Malaka looked at Rean and then Roan, who nodded at her. Obviously, he also agreed with Rean.

Her expression then changed between her happy face and a teary one a few times. But in the end, tears began to fall uncontrollably. She hugged Rean tightly as she poured her emotions out.

Rean and Roan's eyes darkened as they glanced at Amanda.

Amanda, obviously, didn't know what to say either. She had spent quite some time with Malaka and Oka after they joined their faction. She even went out with these two during their first mission outside the sect as a protector. It's just that she stayed in the shadows without Malaka knowing. Still, she had never seen Malaka like this.

"This... Malaka, what happened?"

Malaka continued to cry while leaving pieces of information here and there.

"He attacked... sniff... Oka. I didn't... sniff, sniff... choice... sniff... Oka was going to... sniff...

Even though she didn't speak accurately, Rean and Roan immediately understood. In the end, they only sighed.

"As we though..."
