Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

With the stillness of the moon, the Evian City was as silent as death after the big battle, giving anyone a sense of desolation and sadness.

On the ruins of the city wall, a woman and a beast stood side by side bathing in the moonlight. The woman's cold and beautiful face was like an ice sculpture, and the sadness in her eyes made people feel pitiful. The woman was Sabina.

Suddenly, a beast shadow with flickering flame light fell from the sky. Then, a figure jumped off from the beast, and in the blink of an eye, it came in front of Sabina.

"Why are you here?" Seeing that it was Rocky in front of her, Sabina was surprised. But she soon found that Rocky was looking at her with rage as if he had been cheated, which made her feel uneasy.

"Are you Marcia's disciple?" Rocky asked as he glared at Sabina with a ferocious look.

Sabina was stunned upon hearing that. She never expected Rocky would learn her true identity. Besides Lance and Isis, only her uncle knew that she was Marcia's disciple.

Of course, she wasn't stupid. She soon guessed how Rocky knew about it. It must be her uncle who had asked Rocky about her business that revealed her identity. She then asked, "Did you meet Uncle Allen?"

"You just need to answer me yes or no!" Rocky responded coldly.

Knowing that she wouldn't be able to hide the truth any more, Sabina just nodded in silence.

"I never anticipated you to be Marcia's disciple…" Suddenly, Rocky sneered. His laughter was wild as well as disappointed.

"I didn't mean to lie to you. It was because my master told me not to tell you my real identity," Sabina explained, as she saw the strangeness on Rocky's face. She thought that the reason why the man was furious was that she had concealed her true identity.

"Of course you are not going to tell me. Because you have been following me all the way just to keep watch on me, right?" Rocky questioned angrily.

Upon hearing Rocky's groundless accusation, Sabina was stunned and she asked back, "What did you just say? Keep wat

girly figure sitting in the pavilion under the moonlight and playing the zither.

"Why is she here?" When Rocky saw the beautiful figure under the moonlight, he was amazed, as the person who was playing the zither was none other than Laney.

At that moment, Laney was continuously playing the zither as if no one was around. The melody was exciting, strong and solemn, like an elegy.

Rocky didn't try to interrupt her. He went towards the side of Uriah and listened carefully until the melody came to an end.

As Laney finished playing the zither and slowly raised her head, she saw the silent people and beast in the yard. She was surprised first, and then she immediately recognized Rocky. She shouted in surprise, "Mr. Bai, how come you are here?"

"Miss Laney, you do remember me." There was a slender smile on the corner of Rocky's mouth.

"How could I forget you? Mr. Bai, you have saved my life." After placing away the zither, she walked out of the pavilion and stopped in front of Rocky.

"Miss Laney, why are you still staying here? Don't you know that the Evian City was narrowly to be taken over by the Timber Deity Empire?" Rocky asked in a confused tone.

"Of course I knew that. But I have nowhere else to go if I leave the city. So I was thinking of staying here and leaving my fate in the hands of god," Laney answered calmly.
