"An entire night has passed, and she hasn't returned."
"Do you know where she went?"
Lirin shuddered all over. Only now remembering that Zella and Fiora were roommates who shared the same cave dwelling. He forced an incredibly ugly smile. "Senior Sister Zella, I... I am also waiting for her."
"Senior Sister Fiora said she would come back here to find me after finishing her task."
"As for why she has been gone all night and hasn't returned... I don't know either..."
"You don't know either?" A flash of coldness crossed Zella's eyes.
"A living, breathing person disappears for an entire night. What could it mean?"
"I will go inform Master right now and ask him to search."
Seeing Zella turn to leave, panic gripped Lirin's heart. He hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed her. "Senior Sister Zella, Master absolutely cannot know about this!"
"Why?" Zella frowned suspiciously.
"What exactly did you beg Fiora to do for you?"
"Could it be something that violates sect rules?"
