Chapter 126: Remodeled
Looking up, Sage caught sight of the woman from before, Wan Ling. She was standing in front of a table covered in documents. Remembering the business deal and how he had let her stay in his house to keep working, Sage relaxed. Walking forward he smiled and bowed his head to the woman, Ahh, youre still here. How wonderful! I was just thinking of you.
Even as the drivel spilled from his lips, he glanced over to the paperwork to try and get an idea of what was going on.
Youve already been gone for months, yet you can still pretend like you arent burning with desire to know whats happened.Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
Sage lifted his head from the bow and his careful observation to look directly at Wan Ling, Months? How long did you say I was gone?
Its already been over three months, did you go into seclusion or something?
Sage just nodded his head, going along with her reasoning. Putting a guilty smile on his face, Youre right. I got too caught up in training and lost track of time.
Internally, he was realizing there was some time dilation from his trip. The three weeks had turned into three months. Either the time in the Hidden Domain was slower than normal, or the trip there and back had taken much longer than the instant he had felt it to be. Could this be some sort of lightspeed related time dilation for traveling to another planet?
Putting aside the thoughts for now, Sage focused on the present. The beautiful and ruthless business woman still glaring at him. He bowed his head another time, apologizing for another slip into forgetfulness. Wan Ling looked him over carefully seeming to notice him spacing out for a second. His face was essentially a puppet now, so it showed nothing other than what he wanted it to, but she seemed to recognize the long pause and was re-evaluating him. Finally, she smiled back at him and walked closer, looking like a caring older sister as she put an arm against his shoulder, her tone getting protective and motherly.
Why thank you! It was hard work getting it done so quickly, I had to call in a few favors with different builders for the remodeling. Ive still got more work to do so Ill leave you to enjoy the place. I already had them book you the largest suite.
Sage laughed and nodded, I cant let waste such a thoughtful gift. Why dont you stay for a while, too? You look like you could use some rest.
I already tested it all out before it opened, but I cant stay for now. Theres far too much work to do.
Sage felt a sort of sudden sadness and didnt understand why. Ignoring the twinge of feeling, he just smiled and nodded to her. Bidding Wan Ling goodbye and heading into the spa. The experience was truly indulgent with full body massages, saunas, and hot tubs. All the while there was fragrant incense, soft music and extravagant meals on offer. After that he retired to a huge suite, with overly soft and fluffy sheets, comforters, pillows, and even carpets and rugs.
He spent his free time reading some of the basic books hed got from the Timeless Master and improving his knowledge. The next day he returned to his home and met up with Wan Ling again. This time he caught her unaware and noticed the look of distress on her face before she could hide it and put on a smile. Not wanting to avoid hidden trouble for the future, Sage called her out.
You dont need to worry
Sages sharp gaze cut her placations short and she sighed, Ehh, you saw through me. Weve run into a few problems.
After a few minutes of explanation, Sage learned how ambitious Wan Lings plans already were. The plan was to open a branch of the Palace of Prosperity in every major city of the Holy Flame Province. Along with the Palace of Prosperity, a traveling theater group was to be formed. Instead of putting on plays or concerts, they would set up the projector equipment and show movies to introduce the world to the concept. The problem came from Red Knife City, the city that bordered Green Plateau Province. Someone was obstructing their plans to purchase property in the city.
