831 The Truth of the Past

Silence filled the interior of the ship as John finished his story, detailing his encounters with Laia, starting in the Yuan Continent Ancient City, and ending in Alliance City when the Astral Emperor had taken her away once more.

Lilian had sat there listening without saying a single word, her face stoic most of the time. However, small expressions occasionally appeared on her face. Sometimes it was a tinge of sadness, such as when she heard of Adam's miserable and gruesome fate, or surprise when she learned that Laia had miraculously revived him, or worry when they had faced the apocalyptic tribulation together and was later taken back to the Astral Empire by her father. These expressions were almost imperceptible, but caught by John, nonetheless. If he had not known his master so well, he would have never noticed such minute changes in her expression.
