Chapter 763: What a liar II

    ?

    Kyle blinked when his ears picked up Jian''s faint murmur. A liar? Him? He furrowed his brows, contemplating why Jian would call him that. He didn''t recall ever lying. It was true he had

    concealed many things, but he had never outright lied.

    The two of them left the floating island, flying side by side-one lost in thought and the other chatting incessantly.

    When they arrived at the island where the array masters resided and entered the main building atop the island, they spotted Han''s familiar figure standing before a stone table filled with books on ancient array symbols, alongside Elder Razial and a few other powerful array masters in the hall.

    The group of elderly individuals was engaged in enthusiastic conversation, asking one question after another. It was clear they were engrossed in their talk.

    Jian shut his mouth when he noticed the scene. He didn''t want to disturb them like last time, which resulted in Elder Razial hitting him with books. He gestured for Kyle and began to tiptoe away.

    Kyle shook his head at his actions. They were powerful and could easily create a barrier to silence their voices, but no, this man had to sneak around like a thief.

    He waved his hand, and an invisible shield of divine energy enveloped him and Jian as they passed through the hall, ascending the stairs on one side to go upstairs and find a quiet and empty room.

    But as they reached the second floor, they encountered a group of women engaged in a heated debate over some array symbols. They struggled to understand the symbols; some argued they were destructive, while others maintained they were defensive.

    Upon seeing Kyle and Jian, the group fell silent. Only Lily and Lumi had the confident to step forward to greet them. Lumi turned her gaze to Jian with a smile, but when she noticed him focused on Lily, she shrugged and turned her attention to Kyle.

    "Hello, um, do you have a moment?"

    Kyle, who was about to walk away, stopped in his tracks and nodded at her. He had not yet spoken with everyone who had arrived in the Forsaken Land Jian, but he had begun to recognize some faces since they seemed to appear before him every day.

    For instance, Lumi, who now frequently spent her free time with Yue, was the reason Kyle had been banned from entering Yue''s room without permission. He would be lying if he said he wasn''t annoyed, but Yue was too happy to be with Lumi, so he swallowed his grievance.

    Then there was Lily, his former classmate, who had grown closer to Lara and Mia. She trained alongside the two, but because she wasn''t strong enough to match their pace, she couldn''t always join them. Therefore, she would learn about arrays from Elder Razial when she couldn''t train with them.

    Catching Kyle''s attention, Lumi wasted no time and got straight to the point. Yue had told her, he wasn''t a fan of small talk.

    "We just started learning about arrays. I''m grasping this quickly since elder Han shared a lot of knowledge with me."

    Jian''s eyes widened as he swallowed hard. He called him a liar unconsciously!

    "You heard? Wait! Wait! I can explain!"

    He stood up, planning to bolt out of the room and hide if things got messy.

    "I didn''t mean it! You know how my mouth is; it''s always spouting nonsense. Don''t hit me. I

    can''t take it. Alec and James already gave me a lot of punches today!"

    Kyle chuckled, and seeing his amused expression, Jian calmed down.

    "Oh, you''re just messing with me."

    He sat down again with a roll of his eyes.

    "What do you want to say?"

    Kyle hummed and raised his finger. Just like what he did with Lumi, he sent what he wanted to

    share directly to Jian''s mind.

    "I didn''t lie. I just forgot the promise I made."

    Jian blinked, feeling nervous all of a sudden as he watched the faint light enter his mind. His crimson eyes widened comically when he uncovered Kyle''s biggest secret.

    "Cles..."

    Kyle quickly interrupted him.

    "It''s a bit late, but you have reached the transcendent rank. You fulfilled your end of the deal,

    and now I''ve done mine."
