Chapter 913
“Okay.”
The two quickly found a cave and collected a pile of firewood to start a fire.
Crackle…
Hiss…
As the campfire crackled, the cold around them dissipated considerably.
To avoid the awkwardness they had experienced before, Andrius did not mention helping Kate this time. They each
tended to their own clothes and took turns warming them by the fire, so nothing happened.
“Thanks.” Andrius thought of the perilous situation in the water and said sincerely, “If not for you, I might have…”
He did not finish his sentence and simply shook his head.
At that moment, Kate’s face was illuminated by the fire, making her look radiant.

At his words, she snapped back to reality and looked at Andrius with clear eyes that seemed somewhat
disappointed.
“It’s okay.” Kate shook her head and said seriously, “Actually… when you said that I was the only person you trusted
in the Medicine Sect and didn’t hesitate to teach me acupuncture techniques, I already had a feeling.”
Andrius had spoken from the heart.
When he heard Kate speaking so sadly now, he fell silent and listened to her.
Kate’s large eyes stared straight at him, reflecting his resolute face. “I had a feeling that there’s an inexplicable
bond or fate between us.”
Fate?
Andrius was slightly puzzled.
“Did you know?” Kate continued, “I’ve heard countless flattering words since childhood, but none of them touched
my heart like your casual words.”
Andrius did not understand. He raised his brows and said half–jokingly, “What, even as the Maiden of the Medicine
Sect, are there people who make you uncomfortable?”
“It’s not exactly uncomfortable.” Kate smiled wryly and ran her fingers through her hair. Actually, I’m not from the
Klein family. Grandpa found me. I heard that it was during a night of snowstorm.
“Grandpa found me, held me all night, and decided that I would be the Maiden.
“On the surface, I seem to be the Maiden of the sect, but in reality, many people in the Medicine Sect don’t think
highly of me, especially the direct descendants of the Medicine Sect. They call me the ‘Abandoned Maiden‘ in
private.”
The smile on Kate’s smile turned more bitter as she spoke. As an orphan, she carried too much over the years. She
appeared glamorous on the surface but cried silently in private.
Andrius comforted her, “Kate, after we return, if you’re not happy in the Medicine Sect, you can come and find me

“My eight commanders and the dozens of subordinates under my command are all brothers bonded by life and
death. There won’t be anyone speaking ill of you behind your back.
“At that time, I’ll take you to see the beauty of the northern frontier and the magnificence of the desert.
“It’s a completely different exotic experience from Kiyoto.”
Andrius did not know why, but since Kate had used acupuncture to treat him, he had felt an inexplicable sense of
closeness to her. Thus, he could not help but speak from the heart when he heard about her unfortunate
experiences.
Kate’s sorrowful expression dissipated somewhat. She smiled at Andrius, her large eyes curving into beautiful
crescents. “Andrius, thank you for listening to me, but I need to return to the Medicine Sect as soon as possible.
Otherwise, my grandpa will worry.
“After this matter is resolved, if there’s a chance, I’ll definitely go to the western territory to visit you.”
Andrius nodded. He also wanted to return as soon as possible. He needed to ask his master about what exactly was
happening.
