They listened to Moli's offer of wanting to discuss, and it caused Kazami and the girls to raise an eyebrow while Mara group became even more vexed. They had an instant distrust of Lian disciples and wanted them to leave already.
"Discuss?? What could you all possibly want to discuss with us?!" Dela spoke up a bit heatedly, causing Moli to cast her a condescending smile.
"Oh? My apologies, it seems you and those other three here misunderstood who I meant when asking for a discussion. "
"Heh! An honest mistake from ignorant junior disciples. No matter we'll let this go as we're all kind and monogamous people." Ashely immediately stated after Moli, using an underlining mocking tone while also never taking her eyes off from Brenda and Kazami.
Jane and Tiny never even bother to regard them which all combined to anger Mara group immensely though before it could escalate further Kuzumi in a dull tone told them,
"Look I couldn't care less about whatever weird history you all have between each other. Just get to the damn point!"
While Tiny, Jane and Ashely irked their faces to Kuzumi commanding tone, Moli became serious and started to tell them,
"You're right, Sister Kuzumi, so I won't waste any more time. For tomorrow we four want to ask for a temporary team up with you formally, Kazami, Kuzumi, Lun Yuo, and Brenda."
With this now, the Mara group found it as a complete disrespect to them as the Moli group didn't even think for a second Kazami team would go along with them.
Furthermore, the four didn't give any face to Guardian Chui as Kazami and the girls trained under her, not Guardian Lian.
Though before anyone could respond on the other side, Lun Yuo asks in a bored voice,
"My do you all have any reasons for why us specifically? You all must know we can only fight up to the intermediate Heaven Ruler level while you four already seem like a powerful team for this realm."
"Ah! Of course, there will be some confusion here. You see, with the incomprehensible level of your talents, it will be straightforward to gain rapid breakthroughs in the realm. From past experiences, I can confirm this realm has numerous magical resources that can help one breakthrough immediately, although there are all in the more dangerous zones. With us four, we can smoothly help all of you get to those dangerous places and achieve rapid progress, so in turn, everyone can make rapid progress." Moli patiently explain to Kazami and the girls which goaded Kazami into asking,
"I suppose the true reason for going so far to help is to make friendly connections with us, right?"
His question Moli, and Ashely to put on pleasing smiles while Jane had a small one. Although Tiny kept a neutral, calm face letting no emotions show.
"It does sound rather pleasing doesn't it Brother Kazami. And personally, this would be a great time for you and me to get to know each other, and as fellow disciples of powerful Twilight Guardians, it's only natural, no?" Ashely sweetly said all but ignoring Brenda from her visions.
Brenda was noticing this and felt a small surge of slaughtering intent rise up inside her, but she kept it hidden from the others. And right before she was going to speak up, Kazami re assuredly gave her hand a tight squeeze causing her to feel a rush of warmness.
"Perhaps that sounds pleasing, or perhaps it doesn't at all? It seems like I was right the first time there's nothing really worth noting about you four." Kazami coolly stated, causing the Moli group to gain a strain expression.
"It does seem you four are quite troublesome to be around. We 'truly' appreciate the offer, but I believe we already have a good team." Lun Yuo walked to Kazami right side while also taking his hand.
"Sheesh, get a load of this, Brenda! All this talking just to basically say screw off! Hahahaha! They're kind of funny this way!" Kuzumi leaned on Brenda's left shoulder, laughing without a care in the world.
"Hey, Yea! So what are you four waiting for? Screw off already!!" Brenda energetically said while giving them a broad toothy smile.
Through the four cold rejecting words and actions, it caused two varying reactions among Mara and Moli group.
"Oh! I see! I see! If that's Brother Kazami wishes, who are we to go against it! To th-"
"Hmm? Ok, sure, just stay out of our way then, and no further problem will arise." Tiny, who was speaking rather forcefully with a harsh smile, was suddenly cut off by Jane, who decided to raise her voice to overshadow him.

Tiny raised a confused glance at Jane but didn't bother opening his mouth again.
"Alas looks like it isn't our time, another day then!" Ashely, who nearly stumble seeing Lun Yuo grab Kazami hand suddenly brightly told them with the biggest of smiles.
And all the while Moli held one indifferent smile as he evenly stated,
"Ashely is correct we'll have plenty of other days to get along then."
Seeing Moli and the other stiff reactions caused Mara's group to all feel a little satisfied and a bit of warmness believing the Kazami team would still go with them even against a better offer.
Indeed as Mara group realizes, the Kazami team going with them would undoubtedly wield better results as all four of Guardian Lian disciples vastly outstrips them.
Their force would've easily gotten Kazami team to quick power-ups, which would've lead to even higher power between them. And yet they blatantly rejected them while also insulting them to their faces!
Any other disciples or even Great Elders would've watched their steps when talking with these fours, but the Kazami team wasn't intimidated in the slightest.
"And hey, would you look at this? Guardian Lian is here just in time to take you away as well." Luo Ke told them, pointing above them, causing everyone to look up at Guardian Lian's grand figure.
Moli and the others looked they wanted to say something, but Guardian Lian swept them all up with a wave of his hands towards him. Though before he left, he took a straight look at Kazami lightly saying,
"Kazami Star. You manage to gain my interest, good job." And with that, he blasted off into the sky, not giving them a chance to react.
"As usual, assholes! Star Kazami, Rose Yuo, Demonic Kuzumi, Slaying Brenda, you all were great!!" Su Mo had instantly lit up once Guardian Lian and his disciples left getting Luo Ke also to agree,
"Yea! I never saw Moli or Tiny so stiff and uncomfortable. It was a fresh experience for us."
"Heh, you know as fun as it was to mess with them, you four do realize they'll only become more annoying after this, right?" Kuzumi smilingly explained to them, getting the four to waver a bit.
"Tch! They'll probably complain to their Master! I wouldn't be surprised if they try something tomorrow." Dela said with anger while Mara sighed, shaking her head.
"Haah, they wouldn't dare go far as Master can instantly tell if they were to try and disrupts us. But for their attitude in the future, it does not bode well."
"Yoh? Stop sighing and complaining about it! Do you honestly think we would let them go like this?? Of course not!!" Brenda had suddenly exclaimed, getting all of their eyes to focus on her.
"What she means is that by the time this event is over, all of us will have enough power to crush them." Lun Yuo said with a sweet smile causing Mara group to feel unnerved by it but also surprised from her bold statement.
"B-but, how could we Fairy Yuo? At our combined prowess, we won't be able to leave even the starter zone." Luo Ke honestly said, despite being confident in Kazami and the girls' prowess, he knew beyond the mystic realm starter zone it would get perilous.
"You mention before your Great Ancestor was someone who transcended into the divine path before creating this mystic realm right Mara?" Instead of answering Luo Ke question, Kazami abruptly question Mara who quickly responded with,
"Ah, yes. He was one of the few rares one that manages to do it and from legends told in the sect he had unfathomable prowess. "
"Well then, don't worry about accurately finding the best resources then as Kuzumi and I can naturally sense any divine energies your ancestor put into a resource." This causal bombshell caused the Mara group to all stand at attention with their eyes bugged.
Sensing divine energies was there ever such a wild concept like that?!
Though, as they remember, these four can magically jump up two realms, this feat doesn't seem exaggerated.
In response to their surprise, Kuzumi had decided to have a bit of fun, lighting up her god bloodline and gaining a purple aura that enamored Mara group.
"You see this? It's what brother and I will use to search out those grand resources. And if that Moli guy right, we will swiftly have no reason to stay in the starter zone then." Kuzumi stated them while basking in their awe faces.
Ever since Kazami and the girls' time in the four god beasts mystic hall, the twins realized from their bloodlines they could sense divine energies.
During their time alone, they would recount the experience of when they felt that rhinoceros beast divine aura and power and experiment with fusing their bloodlines with their spirit sense.
Besides gaining a further radius with their spirit sense and being able to sense Lun Yuo and Brenda bloodlines from miles away, they couldn't go further with it as they were no divine energies in Veiled City, they could sense at that time.
The twins were expecting to sense if this City held any divine energy as the God Beast predicted, but they came up with nothing. Although the twins did manage to sense the faintest of divine energies when they arrived in the Holy Twilight Sect, which further boosted their confidence in coming here.
And unknown to Kuzumi, Kazami had a faint guess that Lun Yuo has some of this ability, but she had never mentioned she could sense the vague divine energies the twins sensed though Kazami couldn't tell for sure.
"Ah...Ah!! Y-you're right! I-if it's you two then-then we can crush those damn pricks!!" Dela screamed out in a rush of excitement as she, Mara, Luo Ke, and Su Mo similarly felt the rush from Kuzumi godly aura.
"Remember, we all will have to stick together this way, and all of you will have to listen to my orders, and Kuzumi orders got it?" Kazami told Mara group like a leader as they all earnestly nodded readily to take on tomorrow.
"And with my speed, we will easily score any resources before the other disciples," Brenda smirked to them, getting everyone to recall her insane speed that was even slightly faster than Kazami.
"Furthermore, I can use my vines to catch the more perilous of resources." Lun Yuo also chimed in which served to boost the group confidence even more.
Kuzumi had gone behind Kazami slugging her arm around him as she pressed her face with him saying,
"Seems like everyone pumped up since, after tomorrow, the Star Twins will show this whole sect a transformation of geniuses!"
….
While the Kazami team were all discussing among themselves about tomorrow's event, Guardian Lian held a strange smile as he observes his tense disciples.
"Hooh, it would appear as Kazami, and those girls truly shook the four of you." Guardian Lian commented prompting Tiny to ask,
"Master, is it true, Guardian Chui is showing favoritism that Kazami boy." A hint of venom was laced in his voice as he couldn't cover up his intense dislike for Kazami.
"My little talk with her did somewhat confirm it. Whenever I was to bring having Kazami perform sect missions or even go out to meet other disciples, she seemed very guarded against it. She had humor me when I mention the girls that came with him, but it looks like that boy may become even as troublesome as those four for all of you." Guardian Lian explains to them not going into details on everything the siblings talked about.
"Heh, hahahaha!! As expected of my future boyfriend, even Guardian Chui sees the light in him. Though I'm glad, she is not going so hard for those two little rats." Ashely chuckled at first but soon turned into a full hearty laugh hearing the news and ending her thoughts with a cruel glint in her eyes.
"Haah, things about to become tiring from here on. Just don't make me move too much." Jane sighed out while shaking her head, although it went on deaf ears for Tiny and Ashely as they were in their own little worlds.
"Master later on, can we talk about the mystic realm? I have some thoughts." Moli asked with a mysterious smile, and in return, Guardian Lian gave the same smile responding with,
"Ah, as expected of my star disciple. We will talk later today."
