Chapter 152: Successful Raid

Elara blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed by the overwhelming display of gratitude. "It's really no problem," she mumbled, avoiding his gaze.

With a grateful nod, Alix pocketed the returner stone, knowing that it would be instrumental in his cultivation journey. "Thank you once again, Elara, and to you all esteemed disciples. I won't forget this act of kindness. Farewell, for now."

Without wasting a moment, Alix activated the returner stone, its energy surging around him. In a flash of light, he disappeared, leaving Elara and four disciples with dumbfounded expressions.

As the group stood there, dumbfounded by Alix's sudden departure, Lyra and Lirien couldn't help but exchange mischievous glances. Their teasing smiles grew wider, and they prepared to poke fun at Elara for her blushing demeanor and the unexpected hand-holding.
