"I have an appointment with Seven Colour Pagoda clan tomorrow morning." Erza then told Beel everything about the matter of the old ancestor invitation.
Beel was very surprised to hear that it involved the old ancestor. When he heard that she was supposed to meet with Qi Long tomorrow morning, Beel looked amusingly at Erza.
"Fine, I will bring you there tomorrow morning. But aren't you afraid that your little boyfriend will misunderstand our relationship?"
"First of all, he is not my boyfriend. And secondly, I don't care about what he is thinking." Erza tried to explain.
"I see. But it's very strange that the old ancestor wants to meet you. Do you probably know the reason?"
"I don't know the exact reason but I guess that it may be related with my Eyes of Chronos." Erza guessed.
"Hmmm.. It is possible that you are right. Anyway, be careful when you are there." Erza nodded her head.
"Alright then, let's finish our practices now. If later you have any question, just give me a message. If it is about a very confidential matter, then we can meet here again."
"Okay."
"Good. So now, shall we take a bath together?"
"Is that an order?" Erza asked with a blushing face.
Beel was dumbfounded with her reply. He was just joking to tease her. But then now, what if he said yes?
"Never mind. I am just joking. Follow me to your room." Beel hurriedly walked ahead.
"Coward." Erza muttered under her breath.
Beel then brought Erza to her room and quickly left.
When she took out her phone to check on the new messages, Erza was surprised to see a number of messages from Lisa and Linda. Their messages were roughly about the same thing. Apparently, they heard the rumour about Beel and Erza were going out together and therefore wanted to double check with her.
"Where are you now? Is it true that you are going out with a third year student named Beel?" – Linda
"Yes, I'm at his house now." – Erza
......….
...........
"Are you okay? Is he a gentleman?" – Lisa
"He was far from gentle. He made me cry." – Erza
...…..................
Linda and Lisa stopped asking Erza after she told them that Beel made her cry. Erza thought they were relieved to know that she was alright. She did not know that both of her friends were currently stupefied reading her reply.
There was also a message from the third lady, asking how was her day and reminded her to come back home on the weekend. After replying to her third auntie, Erza quickly took her shower and went to bed.
On the other side of the wall, Beel was ignoring his friend ranting. The fatty was accusing him to put hoes before bros. Beel turned off his phone and went to sleep.
The following morning, Beel and Erza arrived together in front of Seven Colour Pagoda clan main gate. Today was a Friday, so after this meeting, Erza would go back to Valentine clan. Knowing that Erza would go back to her clan tonight, Beel then excused himself and went back to the academy first.
"Excuse me, I'm Erza Valentine. I have an appointment with the old ancestor. Please let her know that I'm here." Erza informed the gate keeper.
"Erza Valentine? With the old ancestor? Okay, please wait here for a moment. I will ask the captain." The gate keeper then went inside to inform his superior.
"You said that a girl from Valentine clan told you that she have an appointment with the old ancestor?"
"Yes, Sir."
"Strange, I was not informed that the old ancestor is expecting a guest today." The captain doubted Erza claim. His higher ups indeed did not tell him since they assumed that Erza would come with Qi Long.
"But is it possible that someone from Valentine clan come to cause trouble for us?" The gate keeper expressed his thought. He believed in Erza claim since no one in their right mind would pretend to be someone from Valentine clan. And someone from Valentine clan was very unlikely to come here to cause trouble.
In the end, the captain came out to meet Erza and asked for her clan identification. Erza understood that they were doubting her. Therefore, she took out her clan token to prove her identity. One glance and the captain already knew the authenticity of Erza token. He then took out his token to inform his higher ups. Soon, he received their answers.
"Please come with me, Miss Erza. I apologize for doubting you earlier." The captain apologized and changed his way of addressing her. He was just informed who was the girl in front him, the Flame Child of Valentine clan!
If Erza wanted to find trouble with him later on, she had numerous ways to do so. Lucky for him, Erza was an understanding girl. If it was Alexander, then the captain should be ready for a hell.
As the name suggested, Seven Colour Pagoda clan headquarter was a big seven coloured pagoda. Each colours had seven floors. Therefore, there were 49 floors in total.
Fortunately, the clan was quite up to date with the recent technologies. They had elevators for the people to go from one floor to another. In addition, for security reason, people needed to scan their tokens before pressing on the floor numbers. Everyone had different level of access.
Erza was then brought to the highest floor where the old ancestor lived.
"Behind the door is the Old Ancestor resting place. I could only accompany you until this point. Please go ahead." The captain said and then took his leave.
Erza pushed the door and entered the room. Soon, she saw an elderly woman who was watering her plants. She was wearing a green robe with simple ornaments on its collar. Looking at her face, Erza had a feeling that she was a very beautiful lady in her prime.
"Do you like plants? Flowers?" The old ancestor asked.
"Replying to Your Excellency, I don't like plants nor flowers."
"Oh, why? By the way, you can just call me Grandaunt Qi."
"Grandaunt Qi. It is because I like cleanliness. I am not comfortable touching the dirt and the soil. Moreover, plants and flowers are mostly short-lived. I like something which could last for a long time." Erza answered honestly.
"You are also a clean freak?"
"Also?"
"Never mind. Do you know why I want to meet you?" The old ancestor finished watering her plants and turned her body toward Erza.
"Is it related with my eyes?"
"Correct. I assume that you do not know how to cultivate your eyes, right?" Erza nodded.
"I have the method and I could give it to you, but on one condition." Grandaunt Qi looked deeply at Erza eyes. She seemed to recall something which happened in the past.
"I am all ears."
"You have to get married into this clan."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
