"Teacher! Is everything alright?"

"Teacher! Are you okay?"

Annis and Al grabbed the teacher's hands, squeezed and shook them in a fit of emotion. Shen assured them that everything was fine, but it somehow did little to help. They continued to cling to him as if in a minute he should push the final speech and go to the Heavenly Gate.

"Maybe someone will help me already?!" Muan was furious, watching this "touching" picture of the teacher's reunion with his students.

No, in a way it was definitely cute and even deserving of respect, how his students treat Shen, but still not enough to ignore the owner of Glory Peak !!

"Okay, okay, don't boil yourself," Shen chuckled, getting to his feet.

"I what?! "I'm boiling"?!" Muan almost choked with anger.

Summoning his sword, Shen cut through the ropes that bound him and the cords of the immortals.

"You'll tell about what happened to you later," Shen said graciously, waving his hand at him.

Muan rubbed his stiff wrists gloomily, glancing down at him. His long, whitish hair fell over his naked torso. Neither give nor take - Apollo of local style, Shen decided. In fact, put them side by side, and outwardly Shen will be a much more faded character. In any case, he personally determined so.

Turning away from Muan, who did not thank him for saving him, Shen went to the whining Wolf. The spirit shrank in size, now resembling a small dog.

"Wolf..." Shen put a hand on his scruff, squatting down next to him. "How are you?"

"Mster-r," quietly stretched out the spirit and beat the floor with his tail.

Not understanding how the Silent Flower clan adept had harmed his spirit, Shen stood up and walked over to it.

"A scroll," he commanded Annis.

The girl placed the scroll in his outstretched hand.

"What did you do with Volchara?"

Adept Sagon gazed at him with hatred.

"Come on, speak!!"

"I do not know!" he answered angrily, spitting blood on the floor. "I took advantage of the first thing that my eyes fell on!"

"Where is it?" Shen unrolled the scroll in front of him.

"That place. Before the seal of destruction."

Reading the strange text, Shen caught himself thinking that adept Sagon was a talented fellow! He had recently got hold of this scroll, and yet he figured out so quickly how to channel spiritual energy to use the spells detailed in the scroll.

Fortunately, before the seal of destruction there was only a seal that suppresses the ability. After rereading the text about her twice, Shen came to the conclusion that she had only weakened Volchara, and he would be able to regain his strength when he rested.

"What are we going to do with him?" Muan asked, walking up to Shen and glaring at adept Sagon with hostility.

The wound on Muan's shoulder quickly healed after he could use his spiritual powers again. Annis gave him and Al back their outer garments, which she and Shen had prudently grabbed from the healer's shop.

"We'll definitely confiscate the scroll," Shen said. "And himself... Let him roll to his clan with the speed of the wind and no longer dare to cross the path of the League RR."
