93: Confession

Confession

After inspecting the manor for a while, Audrey returned home in the beast carriage.2

Calder had already learned of what had happened upstairs at the Lisi merchant building. He frowned and asked, "Audrey, someone told me that you're selling level-10 potions. What's going on?"

The older woman's words were definitely not groundless. After asking around on the street, Calder confirmed that Audrey was the one selling level-10 potions.

Even the city lord of Spark City had invited Audrey to his mansion.

Audrey frowned when she heard that. "Father, who did you hear it from..."

"Alright, Audrey, you just need to tell me if it's you or not and where did you get the potion?" Calder frowned and asked worriedly.

Audrey paused for a moment and decided to tell him everything, but she had to hide the question of her background.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Father, I don't know if you can accept this. After I accepted the competition from the five great families, you handed me my mother's necklace.

"From the necklace, I was suddenly swept up by a force. When I opened my eyes, I had already reached level 3.

"After that, I couldn't believe it, so I meditated and cultivated. Finally, I directly broke through level 10. After reaching level 10, the necklace gave me a new hint, which was the method to make the potion."

Audrey's eyes were sincere and true. Calder did know about the necklace.

However, why had nothing happened when he was wearing the necklace?

Could it be that Audrey was the only one who could open the restriction in the necklace?

Calder did not want to delve into it. No matter what, as long as Audrey could take care of him, it was his greatest wish.

Calder smiled and said, "Audrey, I'm sad not because you didn't hand over the potion, but because you weren't willing to share your matters with me.

"I know that I haven't been very good to you over the years, but I also hope that you can truly accept me one day, Audrey."

As Calder said this, his entire being was shrouded in a dark cloud of sorrow.

Audrey nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but mother told me that I must wait until I can truly protect father and myself before I speak of this matter.

"Father, I used mother as a protective shield, but I can't guard against people who have bad intentions."

Upon hearing his daughter's explanation, Calder nodded in satisfaction. "That's true. You've always been a child with ideas, dear Audrey. All I need to know is that you've always been safe."

After the two of them finished their meal, Kate suddenly came over.

Audrey did not look at her childhood sweetheart with a sweet smile ever since the five great families competition. Even now she was looking at him expressionlessly.

As soon as Kate entered the door, he bowed to Audrey to express his apology. "Audrey, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have given up on protecting you in the competition between the five great families."

He would never admit that he had dirty thoughts at the time.

Kate sighed, "I don't know when our relationship became like this, but Audrey, I always thought we were the best friends in the world."

Audrey nodded casually. "So why did you come to see me this time?"

Kate felt a sense of defeat that he had never felt before.

Why did he feel that the relationship between him and Audrey had gradually drifted apart?

This feeling of losing control made Kate feel very uncomfortable. It could even be said that he was anxious.

He had originally thought that Audrey, who had always relied on him, would come and play with him after the competition ended. At that time, he could continue to be friends with Audrey as if he had never had such thoughts.

However, Audrey did not do so.

Audrey had even gotten to know the lord of Spark City.

He looked at Audrey in front of him with a complicated expression and said, "Actually, I came here to ask Audrey if you would like to go on an adventure with our team."

The icy land in the far north.

This was actually just a legend.

It was something that Kate had accidentally heard her father mention when he was chatting with others.

Legend had it that there lived an ancient giant dragon in the freezing place in the north.

There were ancient treasures hidden in the giant dragon's cave. However, because the environment was too harsh and the location was uncertain, no one had really gone there before.

Kate suddenly wanted to take a look at the frigid lands because Audrey had stimulated him. However, he wanted to bring Audrey along.

Audrey had originally scoffed at it, but she always had an inexplicable premonition. Perhaps this treasure was the key to changing her fate.

The dragon bone bracelet on her wrist jingled a few times, and Audrey's heart jolted.

To make the dragon bone sense something, the things in the frigid land were definitely treasures.

It was just a frigid land.

Perhaps the power of the snow goddess over there would be even more powerful, and she would be able to directly breakthrough?

After Audrey made up her mind, she began to refine some potions that she could use. But, at the same time, she also wanted to go back and check on how her herbs were doing.
