"Undeniably, you teach very well. You are an excellent teacher." Morgan Le Fay looked at Scathach, who had a puzzled expression, and maintained her smile.

"However, there are some kinds of knowledge that only I can teach."

Scathach hesitated slightly. Why would she suddenly praise my disciple for no reason? Was she referring to the "illusion" and "prophecy" abilities my disciple used earlier, when she said some knowledge could only be taught by her?

Scathach gazed at Morgan Le Fay's smile. For some reason, even though she knew she was being praised, she felt inexplicably annoyed. There was a feeling that only by stabbing that woman with her spear could she relieve her resentment.

Asher looked left and right, listening with trepidation. He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Shishou, you left suddenly this time, will the Land of Shadows be alright?"

Hearing Asher's words, Scathach temporarily withdrew her gaze from Morgan Le Fay and shook her head. "Your sister is still in the Land of Shadows. If anything happens, I will open the abyss gate and arrive immediately, so rest assured."

She looked at Asher at the end of her sentence, seemingly wanting to see surprise on Asher's face again, but instead, she just happened to see Asher's troubled expression.

"Is my presence here inconvenient?" Scathach frowned inadvertently.

"Usually, at this time, he's in the hall asking me questions, and it's basically just the two of us. But now there's an extra person here, so of course it's inconvenient," Morgan said with a beaming smile.

"Is that so?"

"Of course not!" Asher felt a wave of pressure and loudly retorted Morgan's words.

"Then what is it?" Scathach asked.

"It's just... it's just..." Asher's eyes flickered, and he quickly continued, "Now is a very special time. You must know about the rumors outside, right, Shishou?"

The rumors about the White Dragon were flying everywhere. Scathach had heard about this as soon as she stepped into Britain. She nodded slightly. "You're right, my timing isn't very good." She paused slightly at this point, then asked, "Can you solve it yourself? It looks a bit tricky."

"Don't worry, I'll deal with it as soon as possible." Seeing that Scathach's attention had been diverted by his words, Asher quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't understand what was wrong with Sister Morgan today, to subtly mention what happened last night in front of Shishou. Asher felt a little resentful in his heart and secretly glanced at Morgan, only to find that Morgan was also looking at him. She blinked, as if saying: How about it, exciting?

It was more than just exciting; it was almost heart-stopping. This goddess's thoughts were truly unfathomable. Did teasing people like this make her very happy? Facing Asher's speechless gaze, Morgan Le Fay slightly raised her pale chin, revealing a proud, swan-like neck, her eyes indeed gleaming with pleasure. Well, she really did find it enjoyable, didn't she...? Asher sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat speechless.

"I'll continue to teach you tonight." Just as Asher was still speechless, Morgan Le Fay's soft voice followed, her moist beautiful eyes carrying an alluring charm that seemed to captivate souls. Asher's heart skipped a beat.

He instinctively glanced at Scathach, then gently nodded under Morgan Le Fay's gentle gaze. For some reason, just such a simple action made his heart feel as if it was about to jump out. Morgan licked her moist lips, looking very satisfied with Asher's expression, and even began to anticipate the arrival of night.

"Tonight, you say... then I'll join in teaching you too," Scathach suddenly said after pondering for a while.

Morgan Le Fay's smile slowly froze. Asher nearly fell off his chair, strongly suppressing his seemingly leaping heart. He turned to look at Scathach, trying his best to maintain his usual calm expression: "Shishou, what did you just say?"

"To teach you," Scathach said calmly. "These few days, you might have some trouble. I will quickly pass on a spear technique to you that I originally planned to teach you two years later."

"It's called Gae Bolg Alternative."

Scathach paused here, looking at Asher again. "Why do you suddenly look so disappointed? Aren't you interested in this spear technique?"

"No, how could I not be? I'm super interested!" Asher immediately replied. "I was just thinking about the rumors, so I felt a bit of a headache."

Scathach nodded slightly. "That is indeed a headache, but you don't have to feel too much pressure. No matter what, I'm still here behind you."

"I think I can handle it myself," Asher said.

"I believe in your abilities," Scathach paused slightly.

"However, my intuition should not be wrong. Just in case, I'll stay here for these two days. You don't mind, do you?"

She looked up at Asher at the end of her sentence, wanting to see his reaction. But she didn't see the happiness she expected on Asher's face. No, to be precise, it was half happy and half worried. One could see joy and inexplicable worry on Asher's face. This made Scathach even more curious. What exactly was her disciple worried about? Was it really because of the rumor?

Asher also noticed the doubt on Scathach's face and immediately interrupted her thoughts: "Then I'll have someone prepare a room for you in a bit, Shishou."

Scathach nodded gently. Seeing this, Asher's tightly strung nerves relaxed considerably. If it were normal times, hearing his Shishou offer to stay, Asher would probably have jumped up from his chair with joy. But now the situation was truly special.

Having that kind of relationship with Morgan, and having promised to meet her tonight... but if Shishou were to stay for a while, for the sake of caution, he definitely couldn't go to Morgan tonight.

However, this goddess of death's personality was too unpredictable. If he didn't go to her tonight, she might very well come over, right? If that happened, Shishou would probably immediately notice that something was amiss. He hoped Sister Morgan could calm down a bit...

Thinking this, Asher subconsciously glanced at Morgan Le Fay, only to find her looking at him as well. She blinked, her mouth slightly open. Although she didn't speak, he could roughly guess her meaning from her lip movements.

Come find me tonight... If he wasn't mistaken, that's what Morgan Le Fay meant. Sure enough, this goddess completely disregards consequences.

"King Arthur." At this moment, a servant's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Enter."

After Asher spoke, the servant stepped into the hall, cautiously glanced at the two women in the hall, then immediately lowered his head, "Princess Morgan, you have a letter."

Morgan paused slightly, instinctively glancing at Asher. Asher wished that either Morgan or Scathach would leave first, so he immediately said, "Since you have something to do, you should go ahead and take care of it."

Morgan frowned unhappily, but still took the letter.

After tearing it open and quickly glancing at it, she looked back at Asher. He happened to see his expectant expression, as if he couldn't wait for her to leave quickly. Morgan also glanced at Scathach beside her. The woman seemed to have regained her dominance, her red eyes calmly observing her: "Since you have something to do, hurry up, Princess Morgan~"

The letter in Morgan's hand was unconsciously crumpled into a ball. She looked deeply at Asher again.

I'll definitely make you regret it tonight, just wait.

Morgan thought indignantly, then imagined Asher begging her for mercy tonight, and only then did she feel much better. She stepped forward, about to leave the hall, but at this moment, Asher suddenly called out to her. "Sister Morgan, later I'd like to talk to you privately, if that's okay?"

Morgan paused, looked back, and then showed a bright smile, "Of course, see you later."

After speaking, Morgan Le Fay left the hall.

"You two seem to have a much better relationship than before."

After Asher stood up and saw Morgan Le Fay off at the door, Scathach's voice came from behind him.

"Because when I was King Arthur here, Sister Morgan helped me a lot... and so did everyone in the Knights of the Round Table." Asher turned around to see Scathach had already walked to his side.

"It looks like you've gotten used to this life," Scathach said, looking at the young man beside her. She couldn't help but feel a little emotional as she recalled Asher's tone when facing Agravain and the servants earlier.

"After all, half a year has passed," Asher smiled. "Even if I'm not used to it, I have to be." He paused slightly, then continued, "But it won't be too hard, so Shishou doesn't need to worry."

"Won't be too hard, you say..." Scathach repeated, then suddenly asked, "How do you plan to handle this matter?"

"I'll clarify the rumors as soon as possible, but not now," Asher said.

Scathach smiled casually. "I thought you would take this opportunity to leave Britain directly."

Does Shishou even know what I was thinking initially?

Asher looked at Scathach in surprise. He had originally considered that, but leaving like that would be too irresponsible towards Morgan Le Fay.

At the very least, he needed to achieve the initial goal of repelling the foreign races, and then find a way to legitimately retire and pass the throne to Lily.

Scathach's expression hesitated slightly, but before Asher noticed, she returned to her usual calmness, saying casually, "By the way, do you have something you want to discuss with that goddess? If you're troubled by anything, perhaps I can help you too." Asher hesitated slightly.

"Is it a secret that can only be told to Morgan Le Fay?" Scathach continued to ask.

Asher immediately shook his head, "No, Shishou, you should know that I took the Dragon's essence blood that Sister Morgan gave me every week, right?"

Scathach nodded slightly. She naturally knew about this, and she was very clear that the dragon was very strong, extremely strong. If it were in Britain, even she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Being able to let her disciple take such strong dragon essence blood every week was the main reason why she turned a blind eye to that goddess at the time. She just never expected that after Morgan Le Fay fed Asher dragon essence blood every week, she would eventually abduct him.

Scathach regretted turning a blind eye at the time, but if she had to choose again, she would still tacitly allow Morgan Le Fay to interact with her disciple.

No matter how unwilling she was to admit it, Scathach knew one thing very well: Asher was not taught by her alone; Morgan Le Fay contributed greatly to his upbringing.

"Shishou, do you know the origin of that dragon?" Asher spoke as he looked towards the hall door, and after confirming no one was present, he continued. "That's the white dragon's essence blood... That dragon is an invader of Britain. It represents the foreign race, which are the Saxons."

A hint of surprise flashed in Scathach's eyes. She knew the dragon's origin was probably not clean, but she never expected it to be Britain's archenemy.

"Legend has it that during King Uther's reign, there were two dragons, one red and one white, fighting. The white dragon represented the Saxons, and the red dragon represented the people of Britain," Asher turned to Scathach beside him. "For the people of Britain, the white dragon is truly a mortal enemy." Scathach clearly understood Asher's meaning, muttering, "That woman has a lot of guts, daring to let you become King Arthur."

"Because she had no choice, right?" Asher smiled. "If the Caliburn was pulled out, Lily would become king and never grow. That's why she desperately hoped someone would replace her."

"Then how do you plan to clarify the rumors?" Scathach asked. "If someone questions you, asking you to offer white dragon blood to prove your identity, what will you do?"

Asher smiled. "That's why I need to ask Sister Morgan some things to confirm my guess."

"If my guess is correct, these two days I will convene an investiture ceremony in Camelot Castle, and at that time, I will bestow insignias upon those who have earned merits."

As soon as Asher announced the merit system, various tribes began to take action. Counting the time, it was just right to bestow insignias and rewards upon some people.

"What if your guess is wrong?" Scathach asked.

"Then I'll return to the Land of Shadows." Asher said, a hint of helplessness in his smile at the end, jokingly. "Shishou, will I still be able to secretly return to the Land of Shadows to retire then? I promise not to cause you any trouble."

Scathach shook her head.

"So heartless?" Asher smiled, but he could also understand. He was very open-minded about this. If his guess was wrong and his identity was exposed, he would become Britain's archenemy.

At that time, even if he went back to the Land of Shadows secretly, there was a possibility of being discovered. If it really came to that, it would probably make Scathach very difficult.

"Even if it causes trouble, it doesn't matter," Scathach said. "You are my disciple, and..." Scathach paused slightly, then reached out and gently embraced Asher, "Have you forgotten what happened that night?"

"Whether as Shishou and disciple, or as lovers... I will not abandon you, so feel free to do what you want."

Asher's smile lessened. He looked up at Scathach's face, which now held a soft smile like melting ice, and saw the tenderness in her usually cold eyes. He quietly buried his face in Scathach's embrace.
