Chapter 2708 Wait For You
“Take this. This is Emerald Cauldron Sect''s token. There''s only one such token, and whoever
possesses it can exercise the same authority as the sect leader. You can return to Emerald
Cauldron Sect anytime you want. We will always wee you, and I will always wait for you,” Vi
said.
Jared received the token, and when their hands intertwined, she held onto his hand for a long while,
feeling the warmth of his hands.
At that moment, Jared also felt a little dazed. I''ll feel guilty for making a girl wait for me for the rest of
her life. Even so, there are just too many things I have to attend to now. I can''t linger in Emerald
Cauldron Sect for too long, nor am I able to provide happiness for Vi.
It was already difficult enough for Jared to keep himself safe in Ethereal Realm. If he truly got
together with Vi, she would also be thrust into danger. Unable to bring himself to do something
as selfish as that, Jared steeled his resolution and broke away from her grasp.
Then, he tucked the exquisite token into his pocket.
Just as they released each other''s hands, Ghaylen entered the room.
At the sight of Vi''s reddened face, he hurriedly shed a sheepish smile and said, “Excuse me. I
must''ve gone into the wrong room.”
Ghaylen thought Jared and Vi were sharing an intimate moment and didn''t want to disturb them.
“Mr. Samoll, is there something you need?” When Ghaylen was about to leave, Vi stopped him.
“Ms. Warwick, I''m just here to inform you that as you''ve just assumed the leader''s position, you
should hold a meeting with the higher-ups in Emerald Cauldron Sect on the first day,” Ghaylen
replied.
“Okay. I got it.” Vi nodded.
“You can attend the meeting too, Mr. Chance, since your status in Emerald Cauldron Sect is already
higher than an elder like me now,” Ghaylen said to Jared.
“I won''t be participating as I''ll be taking my leave,” Jared responded with a smile.
“You''re leaving, Mr. Chance?” Ghaylen was stunned, then asked in confusion, “Why are you in such
a hurry to leave? We haven''t even opened the medicinal treasury yet. If you need it, I can unlock it
for you anytime.”
“That won''t be necessary. I''ll visit your medicinal treasury when I have the chance. I have a few
friends I''ve been separated from for a long time, and I haven''t heard from them at all, so I need to
locate them as soon as possible,” Jared answered.
“Do you know about your friends'' whereabouts?” Ghaylen probed further.
Jared shook his head.
Ghaylen furrowed his brows. “Since you don''t know where they are, it''ll be difficult for you to locate
them. I''ve been in Emerald Cauldron Sect for decades, yet I''ve yet to familiarize myself with every
part of this world. I''ve only heard that Ethereal Realm''s north and south poles are hundreds of
thousands of kilometers apart. There are countless sects, towns, cities, and even nations. It will be
an arduous journey to find your friends without having any idea where they are.”
Hearing that, Jared couldn''t help but sigh. Ethereal Realm is indeed too expansive. It''ll be very
challenging for me to find Josephine and the others. Still, I won''t give up!
“No matter where they are, I will find them.” Jared''s eyes shone with determination.
Taking in his resolve, Vi seemed to realize something, so she asked, “Is the friend you''re
referring to your girlfriend?”
Jared nced at her and merely nodded in silence.
“No wonder you''re unwilling to stay. It turns out you''re searching for your girlfriend. Nevertheless, I
will keep my word. I will always wait for you,” Vi uttered firmly.
Jared didn''t dare to meet her eyes. He was afraid he would be soft-hearted and reluctant to
leave.
“All right. I should go now. Feel free to contact me if anythinges up.” With that, Jared turned
around and left the room, scared of lingering any longer.
Vi watched his retreating figure from behind and muttered to herself, “Jared, I''ll always wait for
you...”

Seeing Vi''s demeanor, Ghaylen, who was standing nearby, could only sigh and shake his head
as he left.
