Chapter 195 - The Matchmaking Mentor & The Dinner Guest's Direct Gaze

The Goltbred camp's modest dining pavilion hummed with light conversation and the clink of empty dishes being set in place. Elua sat with her disciples at one of the tables and listened to their excited chatter about this and that. Her 'sweet' smile brightened a touch as she became more certain about what was coming her way.

"Remember to only practice while in camp here - or well away from the main paths."

Nohre nodded eagerly while Fusand's fingers traced idle patterns on the wooden surface. When their hands accidentally brushed, his skin took on that distinctive green-brown flush.

"Though you don't have to be so careful about matters outside of cultivation, you know?"

Their mentor's eyes filled with unhidden mischief at their interaction. The girl with braided hair quickly pulled her hand back like it was scalded. Of course, Elua noticed how the periphery of her gaze lingered on the boy's still moving fingers.
