'Your [Sense] didn't work.'
Nux's eyes widened in surprise when he realized that.
Instinctively, he used his [Sense] again, and just like any other time, it was working perfectly fine.
He could see Thyra, Ember, inside the tent, outside the tent, he could see everything clearly.
Nux frowned.
'It's working… then why didn't it work before…?'
Nux thought inwardly.
He then looked at Ember's status again.
[Name: Ember Windstar.]

[Mana Cultivation: King.]
[Body Cultivation: Mortal. ]
[Race: Human]
[Occupation: General of the Woods Dynasty.]

…
While he was at it, he looked at [Sense]'s description again.
[Sense]
[5 Star Ability]
[Description: When activated, the user will be able to sense everything around him. The range will depend on the user's MP (1 MP = 1 meter).]
[Note: The ability will be activated automatically if someone is deliberately hiding his/her presence and is in the detection range of the ability.]
[Note: The ability will fail to detect the presence of a cultivator whose MP is 2 times more than the Host's]
'Cultivator whose MP is 2 times higher than the Host's…
Let alone being 2 times higher than mine, Ember's MP is less than mine. Then why is [Sense] not working?'
Nux was confused.
"What happened? Why do you two look so strange? Do you really want me to apologize right now? If that's the case, I can do i-"
Ember, who was just about to bow her head in order to apologize was stopped by Nux.
"No, General Ember, we aren't worried about that."
"Then what's the problem?" Ember questioned.
"…"
Nux turned silent.
Then, he turned toward Thyra and used their connection.
'We need to test it out.'
'I agree.'
Thyra agreed.
Nux's abilities not working, this would be a big blow to him.
They had to test this out and make sure what happened.
Nux then turned towards Ember and muttered,
"General Ember, I need your help."
"What do you want? You can tell me anything."
Seeing the solemn look on Nux's face, Ember's face turned solemn as well and she muttered.
"Can you go out with Thyra and do what she said? I promise it isn't something complicated."
"Huh?" Ember was taken aback by this strange request.
However, in the end, she didn't think too much and nodded.
"Alright."
Nux then turned towards Thyra and nodded.
Thyra nodded back, then, she walked towards Ember and the two of them left the tent.
'Can you still see us?' After leaving the tent, Thyra questioned.
'Yes, I can.'
Nux nodded.
'Now I will deactivate my [Sense], try hiding.'
Nux muttered.
'Alright.'
Thyra then walked towards the Tent and hid.
And as soon as she did, Nux's [Sense] activated automatically.
'It is working…' Nux muttered.
Thyra frowned.
'Tell Ember to do the same.'
Nux muttered.
Thyra nodded and then walked towards Ember who was looking at her with a strange look on her face.
"General, can you please go and hide there as I did?"
"Hide?" Ember frowned.
"Yes, hide, just like how you hid when you were peeing at our conversation."
Thyra muttered.
"Is this some sort of strange way of punishing me?" Ember questioned.
"No, it is not like that, trust me, it is important for us.
You promised, now you can't go back on your words."
Ember looked at Thyra and then sighed,
"Whatever…"
Then, Ember walked toward the Tent and hid herself.
'She hid herself. Was your [Sense] activated?'
Thyra questioned.
'No…'
Nux replied.
'Try using [Sense] on your own and see if you can see her.'
Thyra suggested.
Nux did as she told, [Sense] was activated, however, Ember was nowhere to be seen.
The [Sense] was unable to capture her…
Nux told this to Thyra and her frown deepened.
'Tell her to move around.'
Nux muttered.
"General Ember, this should be enough, please come here."
Ember muttered and then walked towards Thyra.
Nux activated his [Sense] again and this time, he could see Ember with his [Sense].
'How does this work?'
Nux muttered.
'I have asked others, they are thinking about it, I think they would come up with their theories soon.' Thyra muttered.
'Mhm, you did a good job.
You can bring her in.'
Thyra nodded and she and Ember entered the tent.
"I don't understand what you two are trying to do."
"We are trying to confirm something, General Ember."
"Confirm what?"
"Well, it is related to one of my deepest secrets, I can't share it with you now, can I?"
Nux smiled teasingly.
"Oh? Didn't you say that we two are very close? Why are you hiding your secrets from me?" Ember questioned.
Nux walked towards Ember and moved his face close to hers.
"Are you saying that you aren't hiding anything from me, Ember?"
Ember stepped back.
"Oh well, I guess we are not that close then,"
She muttered coldly.
"Indeed, I would prefer if we were closer than this."
Nux nodded slowly.
A small smile appeared on Ember's face as she looked at Thyra before looking at Nux again,
"Well, we can always start slowly by spending time with 'just the two of us', right?" Ember chuckled. Thyra's face twitched and seeing that, Ember smiled in satisfaction.
"Of course, I will look forward to that."
"Mhm, then why waste time? I will be free in like, 3 hours. How about you come to my tent after that? Alone, of course."
Ember offered.
"I will gladly take that offer."
Nux smiled.
Ember's smile widened and when she noticed Thyra glaring at her, she chuckled.
Then, she turned around and waved her hands,
"Alright then, Nux.
We will meet 3 hours later, don't be late."
"I won't."
Nux smiled.
Ember left the tent.
As soon as she left, Nux's face turned serious again.
'Have you thought of anything?'
He questioned.
And soon, he got his answer,
'I do have a theory in my mind.'
