Wuhlricht then reached for the teacup and continued to sip his tea.


    “Oh, we’re together now. I enjoyed my time with him these past few days, and I’m starting to like him


    even


    more now,‘ Gilda said as she sat on the swing and recalled her time with Severin. A sweet smile graced


    her lips as she reminisced about the moments that they shared,


    Wuhlricht was so surprised by her revtion that he spurted out his tea. He asked in bewilderment,”


    You’re already together? I’m clearly behind the times here.”


    Gilda chuckled at her father’s jaw–dropped reaction. “Haha!”


    Meanwhile, Diane and the others had recently concluded their training and were in the process of


    stabilizing their levels of attainment. When Severin returned, they all gathered around him with Selene.


    “You’re finally back!” Diane said.

    She then asked, “So, did anything happen when you and Gilda went out alone?”


    Severin replied as calmly as he could, ‘No, nothing happened. We just went to South Link City and


    returned to the sect after delivering the item to Megan.”


    She sighed and rebuked him for his stubbornness. “You’re kidding, right? I can’t believe you’re such


    a numbskull! This is a perfect opportunity to spend some alone time with her. Couldn’t you have taken


    the


    initiative to take your rtionship to the next step?”


    Sofia chimed in, “Yeah! Why didn’t you take things more seriously when you had the chance to do so?


    You


    let such a good opportunity go to waste!”


    Diane then added with a bitter smile, “Sigh. The only thing he thinks about is refining pills! I’m


    beginning to


    think he’s losing his mind from all that alchemy he’s doing.”


    Severin could not hold back after hearing their remarks and erupted inughter. “Gilda has agreed to


    be my girlfriend, but she asked me not to tell any of you yet because she’s still feeling shy. Keep it a


    secret


    for now, okay.”


    Diane rolled her eyes. “Pift. You didn’t think you could trick us, could you?”


    “He’s secretly happy but wants to y dumb with us,” She quipped.


    “It’s positive development though!” Sofia said. “Gilda has moved on from the past and is ready to start a


    new rtionship. This is a good sign, but we need to y along since she’s still shy around us.


    Severin proposed, “By the way, Gilda’s dad says that he wants to try some of my barbecued meat. It’s


    past


    noon already, so let’s make our way to town to get some fresh food. We’ll have some barbecue for


    dinner


    with him and Gilda. It’s time I show him my cooking skills.”


    Selene’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “Are we having barbecue again tonight? Hooray for


    barbecue!” Everyone was amused to see how excited she was for dinner.
