“What are you doing out here?” Jared asked, his voice steady as he stared ahead, knowing Judith was standing behind him.
“I wanted to let you know—I'm leaving,” she replied, her tone resolute. “I'm heading to a deserted island to focus on my cultivation.”
Judith hesitated when Jared noticed her, her expression faltering slightly.
“We're too close to the shore,” he murmured. “Shouldn't you head further into the Dead Sea?”
She seemed flustered, avoiding his gaze as though the weight of last night lingered between them.
“No. This place is close to the mainland, so I can visit my father more often.” Judith offered a faint smile.
“All right, I respect your decision,” Jared said, pulling out a handful of communication devices. “If you ever need help, don't hesitate to reach out.”
Judith accepted the communication devices without a word. Then, with a sudden leap, she vaulted off the airship, her figure disappearing swiftly.
Jared called after her, puzzled. “Aren't you going to say goodbye to your sister?”
He was somewhat puzzled. How could Judith just up and leave without even saying a word to Scarlette?
“There's no need,” Judith's voice floated back to him. “It'll just make things harder. Pass my message along, will you?”
With that, she was gone, vanishing into the horizon.
As Jared stood there, watching Judith leave, an unexpected wave of melancholy washed over him.
He couldn't help but think of the immense burden she carried—her mission to restore the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, the relentless pursuit of the Demon Seal Alliance, and the threat of Suspine. It was no easy path.
Maybe I was too harsh last night. It must've been a difficult decision for her. Perhaps I should've offered her some comfort.
“Regretting it already?” came the taunting voice of the Vermilion Demon Lord, resonating in Jared's mind.
