Chapter 1490

"I didn't keep them in the guest room."

"So, what you damaged were merely some utensils that don't possess any special significance."

Luo Feng said.

"So... so, I don't need to pay too much Mora, or rather, Credit Points?"

Navia's eyes lit up as she asked.

"Hehe, I already told you I was just joking."

"You don't need to pay any Credit Points."

"As for the utensils in this room, I'll just swap them out later."

Luo Feng said.

For him, Navia successfully obtaining a Path and giving this trip a good start was already compensation enough for Luo Feng.

"No compensation? No, that would be too inappropriate."

Navia shook her head, her mind already beginning to ponder how she should compensate Luo Feng.

Little did she know, Luo Feng's next sentence left Navia unable to think carefully for the moment.

"Really, there's no need, as long as you don't mind me leaking some of your privacy."

Luo Feng smiled and continued:

"Also, congratulations on successfully obtaining a Path."

"That mental journey in the illusion, casting aside contradictions and recognizing your true self, was truly worth seeing."

Luo Feng said.

【Marcel: Navia successfully obtained a Path?!】

【Charlotte: Since Mr. Luo Feng said so, it certainly cannot be fake.】

【Silver: That's great, this is truly great!】

【Meller: This is indeed a good thing, though Miss Navia's current situation is slightly awkward.】

"Eh! Mr. Luo Feng, you knew all about it?"

Navia asked in surprise.

"Not just me; everyone knows what happened after you returned to your room."

Luo Feng raised his hand and pointed at Clorinde, the Knave, and others behind him.

Navia blinked, looking blankly at Clorinde and the others.

In the end, it was Clorinde who stepped forward and explained the matter of Luo Feng turning on the surveillance equipment in the dining hall.

………………

"So... does that mean you all heard what I said in the illusion earlier?"

Navia swallowed hard, speaking nervously to Luo Feng and the others.

Luo Feng, Sigewinne, and the others all gave Navia an affirmative answer.

Even Argenti couldn't help but express his admiration for Navia:

"I never imagined Miss Navia had such a sorrowful past."

"Yet, in the end, you were able to cast aside your anger and rationally re-accept Miss Clorinde."

"Is this not a manifestation of Beauty? You are indeed qualified to step onto the Path of Beauty."

"That said, I am still surprised that you, Miss Navia, were able to embark on the Path of Beauty in such a form."

"Perhaps I should adjust my plan and have you accept the trial of becoming a Knight of Beauty in another form."

Although Navia had already obtained the Path of Beauty—a fact Argenti could clearly sense—obtaining the Path of Beauty did not mean she had become a Knight of Beauty.

Therefore, Argenti was still pondering how he should test Navia.

"Uh, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Argenti."

"But my mood is a bit complicated right now; I really don't have the heart for a knight's trial."

Navia smiled awkwardly and said.

Although being able to obtain a Path was a happy thing, everything that happened earlier had been clearly seen by everyone, and even by Clorinde.

Navia suddenly didn't know how she should act to be appropriate.

Understanding things was one thing, but Navia still needed time to think about how to get along with Clorinde from now on.

"Navia is right. Besides, stepping onto the Path of Beauty doesn't necessarily mean one must become a Knight of Beauty."

Luo Feng turned around, looked at Argenti, and said:

"But regardless, Navia has achieved some results here."

"So you should be able to set your mind at ease now."

"Indeed, I can set my mind at ease for now." Argenti nodded, looked at Villette who was trailing far behind the group, and spoke:

"Since Miss Navia has successfully embarked on the Path of Beauty, I think it won't matter if I first escort Villette to the agreed-upon place."

"Mr. Luo Feng, thank you for your hospitality during this time. I think the time has come for Villette and me to leave."

Not far away, Villette breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Argenti's words.

Luo Feng had no intention of forcing Argenti to stay.

After the two parties agreed to meet again in Penacony and booked some rooms in Penacony using the invitation letter held by Argenti, Luo Feng, the Knave, Navia, and the others bid farewell to Argenti.

………………

"After that person left, I feel like the train has become much quieter."

"I'm not used to it for the moment."

Paimon said with some emotion after seeing the *Rare and Precious*—which was carrying Argenti and Villette—turn into a streak of aurora and move away from the Astral Express outside the window.

"Although Argenti's personality is a bit strange, he is quite a good person."

Navia said.

"If you really become a Knight of Beauty in the future..."

"Perhaps you will also become the strange person you described."

Luo Feng turned back to look at Navia and said.

"Uh, let's forget about that."

"I thought about it carefully earlier."

"It's enough for me to obtain the Path of Beauty; as for becoming a Knight of Beauty or whatever, let's just forget it."

Navia shook her head and said.

"If Argenti heard this, he would probably be quite heartbroken."

"Also, if you don't become a Knight of Beauty, you might not be able to go very far on the Path of Beauty, you know."

Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Ah?!"

Navia was stunned.

The further one walks on the Path, the stronger the Imaginary power a Pathstrider can command.

Navia naturally hoped that she could become a more powerful Pathstrider.

"Must I become a Knight of Beauty?"

Navia muttered, feeling conflicted.

"Or you could want to become a Realm-Taker."

Luo Feng shrugged and said.

"Realm-Taker... I remember you once said, Mr. Luo Feng, that they are a group who believe that once the so-called Transcendent Realm is pieced together, the Goddess of Beauty can be resurrected."

"Is there any difference between them and the Knights of Beauty?"

Navia asked curiously.

"Knights of Beauty and Realm-Takers are undoubtedly both fanatical believers of Idrila."

"But there are differences between believers and believers."

Luo Feng touched his chin and said to Navia:

"Let's put it this way: Knights of Beauty are a group of people who can accept others displaying different aesthetics."

"Take Argenti, for example; he can recognize your act of overcoming the environment as a form of Beauty."

"Whereas Realm-Takers are a relatively extreme group. If they were to appear before you..."

"They might force your head down and insist that what they consider beautiful is Beauty." ===== CHAPTER 1491 =====
