The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 1042

"Felix… I… Am I really not worthy enough to be your wife? Not even as just a lover?"

Felix patted Nala's back helplessly. He said, "I've already agreed to marry Nerissa. When it comes to you or Xena, maybe it's best to stay as friends."

Nerissa!

Nala was shocked, but then a self-deprecating smile formed on her face. "Turns out Nerissa was the woman chosen by your mother… You're right—what's lost is lost.

"Whether it was me or Xena, it's our own fault. If we had half of Nerissa's determination and loyalty, maybe we wouldn't have ended up like this."

Felix didn't respond. What had happened had happened. No amount of words could change it now.

"I'm leaving now."

As soon as he took a step, Nala remembered something. "Wait a second, Felix."

"Is there something else you want to tell me?"

Her expression turned solemn. "Aiden came to see me a month ago."

Aiden! This wasn't something Felix expected. How dare Aiden show up so brazenly?

"The plan was to set you up in exchange for healing my face. At first, I wanted to pretend and agreed to his offer, but since he was here, I realized that Kevin must also be in Martial City. I refused immediately."

From the Skeletal Demon, Felix already knew that Kevin was in Martial City, but now, Aiden's appearance confirmed it.

"Did he leave any other information?" he asked.

Nala shook her head. "No. You really have to be careful now. I don't know what Aiden has gone through. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but upon seeing me, he exuded the energy of the middle stage of Transcendent Realm."

The middle stage of Transcendent Realm?
