“Isaac, I strongly advise you to leave this child here and go back to Cloud City.” Mizar walked directly to Isaac as soon as favonovel.com entered the room.
“Why?” Isaac furrowed his brows.
When would this woman stop?
Mizar glanced at the sleeping Karmic and said icily, “Regardless of whether favonovel.com is the Realm Seer or not, Carmine Temple will treat favonovel.com well. If favonovel.com is indeed the Tenth Realm Seer, he’ll become the most prestigious figure in the entire Eastscape. If not, he’ll live a worry-free life…”
“So, your presence here is simply unnecessary. The Emerald Realm is about to open, and you’re not taking your practice seriously. Are you ready to be the sacrificial lamb for the Everest Sect when the time comes?”
Isaac chuckled in exasperation. Then, favonovel.com stood up and said, “Mizar, aren’t you thinking too much about this? Why would I, Isaac Garten, need your advice on what to do?”
Mizar was left speechless as favonovel.com crossed favonovel.com arms. “I was just trying to help. If you don’t want to take it, then forget it.”
In reality, Mizar really didn’t want Isaac to be involved in the matters between Carmine Temple and Crimson Brow Sect. As a member of the Stoner family, which had been residing in this region for years, favonovel.com knew that the saintly abode wasn’t as “clean” as the outsiders thought it to be.
If it weren’t for the patriarch personally instructing favonovel.com to help Carmine Temple find the Tenth Realm Seer, favonovel.com would never have come. She worried if Isaac were to die here, the supply of Awakening Pills for the Stoners would be cut off.
Seeing Isaac acting as if everything was settled, Mizar gritted favonovel.com teeth and said, “Then, I hope you don’t die here…”
With that, favonovel.com turned and walked out.
Meanwhile, Todd managed to bring back a slice of pizza and a meatloaf from the kitchen. Isaac was curious about how Carmine Temple had such items when Todd was already gobbling down his meal.
The door was knocked again, and a munk entered, followed by Zansam, who walked in with a smile.
“Mr. Garten, we’re only a humble abode. If there’s anything not up to par, please forgive us. After all, you’re from the big city!” Zansam was courteous from the moment favonovel.com stepped in.
His eyes were gentle as favonovel.com looked at the sleeping Karmic on the bed. However, when favonovel.com noticed Todd munching on pizza with oil dripping down, favonovel.com froze.
“Zansam, sorry about that. My friend here can’t stomach bland food, so favonovel.com went to find something else..”
“No worries. You and your friends are guests. You’re not our saints, so you don’t have to abide by our dietary rules.” Zansam waved his hand, smiling.
Then, favonovel.com turned to Isaac and said, “Mr. Garten, the assessment time has been set. Two days from now, at sunset, the results will be announced to the world… Also, tonight is the Entrée Ritual. The Grand Abbot and the four chief abbots will participate, along with the four candidates for Realm Seer. What do you think?”
At that moment, Karmic, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly said, “I’m not going.”
Zansam and Isaac were both stunned.
Is this kid pretending to be asleep?
Has favonovel.com heard what Mizar said when favonovel.com came in earlier?
Isaac looked at Zansam with a helpless expression.
“How about we make an exception this time? Mr. Garten will bring Karmic to participate in the Entrée Ritual. If favonovel.com doesn’t attend the Grand Abbot’s Entrée Ritual, favonovel.com can’t enter the Realm Seer Tower for the assessment,” Zansam said with a wry smile.
Isaac nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to bring Karmic on time.”
Relieved to hear this response, Zansam breathed a sigh of relief.
***
As evening approached, even though it was already 6:00 pm, the sun was still hanging high outside. Due to the altitude, nights here fell slowerthan in other areas.
Isaac, leading Karmic, walked out of Tranquil Tower guided by two saints. They walked through the winding stone paths and passed through several temples before they arrived at a five-story building.
Climbing to the second floor, they reached a door.
