Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2216

Daniella was perplexed by his sudden refusal. Despite her modest attainment level as a level nine royal saint, she held a prominent position as a peak master and was considered to be second only to Oskar in the sect hierarchy. Furthermore, she was also an elder of the Alchemy Chamber, allowing her access to resources and spiritual herbs. Her faction was highly coveted by many of the sect's disciples.

To have her offer rejected by Severin was slightly humiliating. Anger began to simmer within her and she wondered if Severin had looked down on her after seeing the way she carried herself when she visited to Pearl Light Isle the previous day with Myles.

The brewing displeasure that Daniella displayed indicated to Severin that there might have been a possible misunderstanding. He then began explaining, "Our sect leader had already taken her under his wing a few days ago."

Her simmering rage dissipated instantly when she learnt that Oskar had already accepted Selene as his apprentice. She smiled awkwardly and remarked, "I see. It seems her aptitude is so extraordinary that even our sect leader has decided to personally nurture her."

Severin smiled in response and chose not to elaborate any further. Only Oskar and those on Pearl Light Isle knew of Selene's true talents. Revealing her Celestial Bone Foundation could attract unwanted attention, especially since there were certain dark practices that people could employ to transplant her talents to themselves.

With Severin saying no more, Daniella did not ask any further and proceeded to lead him into the Alchemy Chamber.

Not long after, the three of them reached the Alchemy Chamber, and Daniella rang the bronze bell in the hall to summon the alchemists.
