While Sophia waiting outside, peak master of healing sun peak, Shreya, communicated with other two masters of Kent, for the permission to leave the sect grounds.
Surprisingly, peak master Porus didn't object Kent's departure. But he warned Kent to keep the jade pearl ready in cases of danger.
Even peak master Shreya gave a defense yantra for Kent for safety. Kent thanked Kent and went outside to meet Sophia.
"What is it?" Sophia questioned with a doubtful gaze as Kent spent a lot of time with peak master Shreya.
"Nothing. Peak master little worried about me as this is my first time." Kent replied calmly without batting an eye lid.
With a nod, both Sophia and Kent mounted their pets and flew into the sky.

High above the sprawling landscapes, a mountain lion and a Fire Kirin soared through the skies, carrying Sophia and Kent towards their destination. The wind whipped past them as they raced towards a distant town.
As they journeyed, Sophia and Kent discussed their plan of action. Among the three golden rank missions, they decided to prioritize a visit to the Yang family residence in the nearby Purple Night City. With its proximity and the urgency of the Yang family's situation, it seemed like the most logical choice.
They also decided to spend the night in purple night city. As the guardian sun began its descent towards the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the land, the duo finally reached the Purple Night City.
Kent marveled at the majestic purple mountains that encircled the city, understanding now how it earned its name.
Without hesitation, Sophia guided their mounts towards the heart of the city, where the grandiose Yang family residence stood. The palace loomed large, dominating the landscape with its sheer size.
Kent's eyes widened in awe as he beheld the sprawling estate, the main building itself occupied more land than entire Chen family estate.
"Sophia, the Yang family seems to be a lot wealthier than your family," Kent uttered, unable to hide his surprise as the snow-white building attacked his attention.
Sophia chuckled softly, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Obviously. The Yang family owns more than 70% of this city. Their ancestor, Su Yang, reached the Mortal Sovereign realm and held a prestigious position in the wizard association of the Blue Planet. Thanks to him, the Yang family rose to become one of the top 1000 wealthiest families on the Blue Planet."
As they descended in front of the palace pet grounds, Kent's mind raced with excitement. There are more than 100 rare pets were roaming in the front garden of Yang family.
Sophia wasted no time and directly descended into the vast pet garden of Yang family. Kent followed her closely. A servant in uniform is already waiting for them at the entrance of the Yang family estate.
The servant humbly bowed and greeted Sophia as she is a regular healer to the Yang family residence. They directly walked inside the palace while their pets were left freely in the front garden.
Inside, they were greeted by a bustling scene, with servants walking in all directions to serve the large family of Yang family.
As they made their way deeper into the palace, they were met with opulence at every turn. The grandeur of the surroundings were eye-catching with rare antiques and fresh flowers.
As Sophia and Kent entered the spacious room, the air was heavy with a palpable sense of sorrow. The room is adorned with vibrant flowers and colorful toys, a stark contrast to the somber atmosphere that hung in the air. The servants dared not step foot inside, leaving Sophia and Kent to deal with the heart-wrenching scene before them alone.
Kent's gaze was immediately drawn to the figure lying on the bed – a lady whose dull eyes now held only a flicker of movement as they tracked Sophia and Kent's entrance.
In her pale white skin, rosy cheeks, and loose robes, she looked like a sorrowful ethereal beauty, but it is the absence of life energy that chilled Kent to the core.
"Can she talk?" Kent's voice is barely a whisper as he kept his gaze fixed on the bedridden lady.
Sophia sighed softly, her eyes filled with compassion. "No, she can see us and hear us, but she cannot respond," she explained gently, her fingers deftly retrieving the necessary herbs and elixirs to treat the lady named Amelia.
"How did it happen?" Curiosity burned in Kent's eyes as he turned to Sophia with a questioning look.
But Sophia silenced him with a gentle gesture, her expression conveying the presence of the Amelia. She did not want to offend Amelia with questions about her condition in front of her.
Amelia turned her face away, her gaze fixated on the distant purple mountains visible through the large window. Kent felt a pang of sadness as he watched her, feeling as though he were gazing upon a hopeless angel trapped in a mortal's body.
As Sophia prepared to administer the pain-relieving elixir, Kent stepped forward, gently holding Amelia's head in place. Her eyes flickered towards him, and for a brief moment, Kent felt as though he could see the depth of her suffering reflected in her gaze.
"Amelia, my master is still searching for a cure," Sophia spoke softly, her voice laced with empathy. "We have reached out to an eighth-rank healer, but she is currently occupied. Please, hold on a little longer. You will recover soon."
But there was no response from Amelia, only a single tear that slipped down her pale cheek, a silent testament to her pain and longing for relief. Kent's heart ached as he watched the tear fall, his resolve strengthening to help this angelic woman.
The lady continued to stare at Kent from the corner of her eyes while swallowing the elixir cure. Kent failed to avoid her gaze. In the moment he decided to enquire her condition and find a cure in his aunt's hand written books.
