“I do have a place in my mind.” Nux nodded. “Where is it?” Arvina questioned. “Right here.” “Hmm?” “The Academy.” “Academy?” “Yes, this Academy. This is the perfect spot, it is located inside the capital, therefore, we won’t face any troubles in obtaining any information we want. And since this is the Royal Academy, a place that has the support from the Kingdom and has a King Stage Cultivator protecting the place, it is a perfect place to hide as well. A perfect Base of Operations. Now all I need to do is take over it.” Nux answered with a smile on his face. “Take over the Academy?” Arvina frowned. “Nux, just like you said, this Academy has a King Stage Cultivator protecting it, you can’t just take over the Academy like that.” “Do you really think I can’t?” Nux questioned with a smile on his face. “Nux, I know you have the famed General Ember on your side, and I certainly believe that she is much stronger than the Headmaster, however, the fight between King Stage Cultivators is not that simple. Even if Ember can defeat the Headmaster, all he has to do is run away and report to the King about what is happening here. Once that happens, we would have to face the entire Kingdom, and you already know that we are not ready for it.” “Teacher Arvina, did you really forget how strong your student actually is?” Nux chuckled and then, his face turned serious. “I do not need Ember’s help to deal with that Baldy.” “You plan to do everything yourself?” “That is correct.” “You do not need anyone’s help?” “To deal with that Baldy? Trust me, me going myself is an overkill already.” Nux was confident. “Oh? Then why are you here?” Arvina questioned. “Well, I should at least inform my teacher about my next plans, shouldn’t I? You have trained me and taught me so many things. It is the least I can do to show my respect, right?” A satisfied smile appeared on Arvina’s face. “Are you absolutely sure you don’t need any help? How about you take Ember with you, just to be sure that nothing goes wrong? This is a very risky move, you need to think this through and you must have plan B and plan C even.” She suggested. Nux looked at Arvina for a while and then, he commented. “You are underestimating me.” “No, I am no-” “No, I understand that. You are right in your own way, one should indeed have backup plans if when he making a risky move. I agree, I will bring Ember with me as a backup plan, however, along with her, I want to bring you as well.” “Me?” “Yes, I want to show you how strong your student actually is.” Nux smiled. “Heh, you sound confident. What if you mess up in front of your teacher? Won’t that be embarrassing?” Arvina teased. “I wouldn’t have invited you if I wasn’t confident, teacher. Trust me, I don’t plan on messing up. I want to impress you and win your heart, after all.” Nux chuckled. Arvina chuckled and furrowed her brows at the same time. ‘Win my heart? That sounds so strange.’ She commented inwardly, however, thinking that it was only a joke, Arvina ignored it. “Alright then, I would love to see how you will take over this academy. When are we leaving? How much time do you need to prepare everything you want?” “Hmm? What prepared? I was born prepared teacher, we are leaving right now.” “Huh? Right now?” “Well, I wanted to wait for a few days, however, with that Baldy barging into your office like that, I decided to do it right now.” This was actually true. Nux wanted to wait till all his wives are King Stage Cultivators, including Evane. Why his wives? Well, they will all be acting as his backup plans in this operation after all. Yes, Nux was doing a lot more thinking than before now. He already had thought of backup plans before Arvina even proposed it, though his grand backup plan only involved his wives standing at the exit and the entry of the Academy, just to make sure the Baldy doesn’t run away. This wasn’t really a Master plan, however, it was foolproof. Since Nux even had a backup backup plan for the case where his women fail to catch the Baldy. Then, the Baldy, who would be near the Royal Palace would meet a certain white-haired woman. He would then trust that white-haired woman and go with her, only to be betrayed later of course. Yes, he was cautious. Too cautious even. One could say that he was, ‘ready perfectly’. “Aren’t you being too spontaneous…?” Arvina questioned. “Trust me, teacher, I am not.” Nux assured. Arvina decided to place her trust in her student and nodded. “Alright, I trust you, let’s call Ember now.” “I have already called her, she will be coming here in a minute.” Nux smiled. “Huh? When did you call her? You were right in front of me all this while.” “Teacher, we two are lovers, we don’t need to talk to each other to say what we want. Our hearts are connected, with this, we can talk with each other no matter how far we are.” Nux answered and Arvina stepped back a little. There was a strange expression on her face. It was clear that she didn’t believe Nux at all. Actually, Arvina was having a hard time digesting such a corny line, especially since it was coming from her student. “It looks like you don’t believe me, teacher.” Nux commented. “What’s there to believe? That’s an obvious lie. Heart connection my fo-” “Hmph, admit it, you are just jealous.” Arvina’s sentence was interrupted by Ember, who was standing behind her. “Huh? When did you come here?” “Just now. My husband called me so of course, I will be here. We are going to that Baldy, right? Nux told me that the Baldy barged into your house and ordered you to kick all of us out by tomorrow.” “!!!” Arvina’s eyes widened in surprise.
