Curse the Mainframe! 465 Junior Disciple Sister

Luna Riis rubbed her tired eyes. She had developed eyebags by now, and she was sorely lacking sleep.

She had not slept for three days already, and she was dead on her feet.

She tied the note to a pigeon before rubbing her tired eyes again. She was so dazed that she was practically floating on the ground.

Throwing the pigeon up, it left with quick beats of its wings.

As she stumbled back to her residence, she seemingly didn't notice as someone noted her movements, reporting it.

Since she had suddenly sent a pigeon out, she was a little suspicious. After all, most people didn't send a pigeon out in the middle of the night looking like they were half dead.

The black pigeon flew for quite a distance before it was suddenly shot down with a tranquilizer.

A person masked in black took the pigeon and flitted back to the sect's camp before entering through a secret door.

The hidden guard dropped to one knee before his master, presenting the flapping pigeon that still had a letter tied to its leg.

Lac looked at the hidden guard who had intercepted one of the suspicious target's messenger. This disciple had never made any suspicious movements, but her background was something that they couldn't find out.

They had still allowed her to enter the sect with the mindset of 'keeping your friends close and your enemies closer'.

Now, this person had finally made a move.

Lac took the tied-up note from the guard's hand after he made sure that it was free from poisons as well as other substances, opening it.

His eyes scanned over the letter before he concluded that it was just a letter that had been written to some sort of secret lover.

The paper was full of mushy writings as well as pledged love, which made Lac's lips curl slightly.

He threw the letter back to the hidden guard, who swiftly tied the letter back onto the pigeon's leg.

The hidden guard grabbed the still slumbering pigeon before disappearing from Lac's sight.

Lac tapped the table, thinking.

However, his suspicion of Luna Riis had decreased a lot.

This disciple of his could be nurtured a little more.

Thinking up to this point, Lac was a bit more settled. It seemed that his suspicion of Luna Riis was wrong. Since she was his disciple, then he would have to make it up to her regardless of whether she knew it or not.

Back in her residence, Luna Riis, who had hit the pillow, covered herself with a quilt, and her lips curled into a strange smile before smoothening out again.

She had already sent the real letter a long time ago, and it wasn't through something as flimsy as using a messenger.

Now that her work was done, she could finally rest.

She closed her eyes and immediately fell asleep, not realizing that the hidden guard had suddenly appeared inside her residence.

The hidden guard looked her over but didn't find anything wrong. However, unlike Lac, who had put his suspicions aside, the hidden guard felt like there was something wrong…

But he couldn't put his finger on it.

He had read the letter that Luna Riis had written after it had been thrown aside by his master, but…

Did this junior disciple sister of his really have a lover outside? He just couldn't imagine it at all. It didn't seem quite in match with her personality. Was he thinking too much about it?

Regardless, he still felt that something was wrong.

Frowning, he looked at this junior disciple sister of his and fell deep into thought.

Unlike before, when he was in his masked uniform, he had changed into the sect clothing as he spied on his junior disciple sister. But she made no strange movements nor did she seem to realize that he was here at all.

Surely a spy would not be this careless if someone had intruded into their room?

Judging by this junior disciple sister's breathing, it seemed like she was truly asleep.

He hesitated a little before going closer to his junior disciple sister. His master had told him to leave her alone, but there was a niggling suspicion that he could not put down no matter what.

Even if her letter seemed innocent enough, he still thought… she was a spy. He trusted his instincts.

With cold eyes, he eventually slipped back out again before anyone caught sight of him.

After he left, Luna Riis opened her eyes and narrowed them thoughtfully.

It seemed that her little act had not convinced this senior disciple brother of hers just yet.

Then, she closed her eyes and slipped back into sleep.

Three days awake was truly a little too much for her to handle, especially when she had to go around and gather information and write it down.

However, she had done it.

Now, she could rest for a bit while she dispelled the suspicion that her senior disciple brother had about her.

Mason held the information that had been passed to him from their informants in the Evans Sect and raised his eyebrows.

Truly, there was a lot more information than he expected.

When he looked through it, his expression grew serious.

Things were a lot worse than it seemed on the outside, and the informants had done a good job this time.

He would have to reward them heavily, as well as directly promote them to disciple status in their sect.

It was both comprehensive and detailed and gave everything that one needed to inquire about without leaving a blank.

Mason gave the order to one of the Cookie Sect disciples. "Go and find our co-sect leader," he said.

"Yes sir," the disciple said, hurriedly gathering the information.

Alec Neil was staying with his team in a decent inn near the city centre.

The disciple made his way quickly to the inn and didn't go and find Alec. Instead, he passed a message to Alec's familiar and left before the co-sect leader came out.

Within half a minute, Alec emerged from the room that he was in and made his way to the Cookie Sect café.

The bell chimed, signalling his arrival.

Upon seeing Alec's face, the Cookie Sect disciple led him into another room that was specified for private meetings.

Inside, Mason was already seated with a pile of cookies and tea inside the room.

The moment the door was closed, the silencing array was placed up, and no one else could hear them from outside.

Mason passed over an earpiece, which Alec then put on calmly.

The information that was revealed to him didn't make him frown, so much as feel disgust.

He didn't understand why they would behave in this manner.

Well, in the end, Klyse had been avoiding the sect master's position but had been unwillingly pitted by his cousin, whom he had trusted.

That cousin was now wreaking havoc from inside the sect while putting up a good front. There had been people who tried to go against her, but most of them were either captured or dead now.

Alec listened to the voice telling him about the list of the deceased. The newest one who had died in the line of fire was Charuru, Jess' right-hand who had betrayed her.

Alec's smile was maintained, but his eyes were a little cooler.

Hm?

He caught sight of something else and fell deep into thought.

More than an hour passed before Alec finally stood up, done absorbing the information.

He placed the earpiece down on the table. "Thank you," Alec said politely.

Mason stood up and smiled at Alec happily. "No need for thanks. You're our co-sect leader, after all. You're the highest on the totem pole."

Alec's lips twitched. "I'll see you around."

Mason ducked his head a little. "Hopefully not too soon," he whispered as Alec left.
