Chapter 44 - Asking for support

[Before Arriving at Zion's house] 

A knock on the door jolted Aurora out of her concentration. She was practicing the cultivation Zion had taught her, excited to become more powerful than normal. 

"Zion! You're back!" She spoke excitedly as she opened the door. Unfortunately, Zion wasn't the one at the door. 

"Um, hello. I'm Crystal, I'm looking for Zion." She smiled awkwardly 

"Crystal?" Lidia popped her head out, seeing her and Zia standing outside their room. "Is everything okay?" 

"Yes, I'm just looking for Zion. I need his help with something." 

"Am I able to help you with this 'something'?" Lidia asked, squinting her eyes at her potential love rival. 

"I don't know, maybe, but Zion's help is needed more, no offense." She smiled 

"Hmmmmm. Well, he's not here. He went back home for the weekend, said he had some research to do."
