Gilda felt a sudden burst of sweetness in her heart. She rolled her eyes yfully at Severin and said,


    “With


    all the sweet talk that’sing out of your mouth, I doubt I’ll ever have a reason to be angry with you.”


    Severin did a little stretch and continued to guide the flying sword forward. Heter said, “My


    attainment


    level might be lower than yours right now, but I’m pretty sure I’ll catch up to you soon. You probably


    might


    not even be strong enough to overpower me soon.”


    “My, my, you’re quite confident!” Gilda countered. “You’re saying that as if I’m just going to sit around

    doing nothing so you can catch up. Right now, you’re only a level eight saint, while I’m already a level


    four


    royal saint. It might be a tall order to catch up with me.”


    Severin chuckled. “Haha, my talent is pretty good, so don’t be surprised when I eventually catch up.”


    Their journey proceeded smoothly, and they no longer encountered anyone foolish enough to


    challenge


    them for the flying sword. When nightfall came, the couple spent an evening at a small town and


    resumed


    their journey the next morning.


    It had been a long time since Gilda had ventured outside the sect, and the beautiful scenery they


    encountered along the way brought her much joy. Severin’s decision to indulge her with some shopping


    in a city during the evening made her feel young at heart again. Gilda enjoyed herself very much over


    the course of several days, and their rtionship blossomed as a result.


    As time flowed on, a bustling city soon appeared within sight.


    “We’ve arrived, Gilda. South Link City is just up ahead,” Severin announced. “Let’s get off from the


    flying sword and enter through the city gates on foot. We wouldn’t want to draw any undue attention to


    us.”


    Gilda frowned in confusion. “What do you mean? Are we going to draw a lot of attention if you fly in?”


    Severin exined, “The organization that I’ve established at the behest of my master is known as


    Dracodeus Temple, and it contains plenty of members. Though I’ve already passed down authority to al


    new leadership and am now technically not associated with them, there are simply too many disciples


    within the organization. If news were to spread that I’ve returned, they’d alle to pay me a visit at


    the county governor’s mansion, I’d rather not have that kind of hassle.”


    Gilda giggled and covered her mouth. “I see. You’re just worried that a throng of people will visit you. I


    don’t really like that either, so I can rte.”


    After a brief pause, she added, “But my father asked you to show me around the city when you have


    the time. How will you do that If you’re so hesitant to show your face around here?”


    Severin sighed. “South Link City is a lovely ce, but there aren’t many good ces to go sightseeing


    here. My n is to rest for two or three days after we arrive at my home, and we canter venture to


    other nearby cities that have better scenery. There won’t be a lot of people from other cities who know


    about me, so you’ll be able to enjoy more scenic sights without having to worry about being swarmed


    by a crowd.”


    Gilda agreed. “Okay. You’re my guide, so I’ll go along with your n.”


    Severin steered the flying sword to descend near the city entrance and put it away before making their


    way to South County Mansion on foot.


    The guards posted at the door were incredibly excited when they saw Severin’s return. “The governor


    has


    retumed!” They immediately dashed in to announce the news.


    “Did I hear that correctly? Severin is back?” Maurice, Judith, and the rest of them got a little emotional


    after hearing themotion. They all started to wonder if they misheard it.
