A gentle breeze rustled, causing ripples on the lake’s surface.
With his palm facing the lake before him, Matthew shook his arm, and a tremendous force instantly stirred up a gust of wind, rustling their clothes. At the same time, the lake seemed to have exploded from inside, causing water droplets to rain down from the sky.
“Good! Hahaha! Not bad. You have made quite a bit of progress during this period. I can rest assured now.”
With just one glance, Old Master Bane could see the extraordinary aspect behind this simple move.
The point of the explosion was not on the lake’s surface but under the water. That subtle difference greatly showcased Matthew’s comprehension of the Bane Family’s mixed martial arts. He had mastered the mixed martial art technique, One Inch Punch, and hidden energy to a high level.
Satisfied, Old Master Bane nodded and waved his sleeves, causing the water droplets to fall onto the lake, but favonovel.com clicked his tongue when favonovel.com picked up the fishing rod. “Oh, it’s not easy to find tranquility here. I wanted to fish for a while, but I think I might have lost the chance now.”
With such a huge commotion, the fish in the lake had long since fled. More embarrassingly, when favonovel.com lifted the fishing rod completely out of the water, favonovel.com saw a big fish had already snapped the fishing line at some point.
Matthew quickly apologized before the atmosphere became even more awkward. “I’m sorry, Master Bane. I did not notice your fishing line and accidentally broke it and your tranquility.”
Understanding the situation, Old Master Bane accepted the apology. “Don’t repeat it again.”
After that, Matthew obediently nodded. The master and disciple duo understood each other and cooperated excellently.
While looking at his well-behaved disciple, Old Mr. Bane felt more satisfied the more favonovel.com looked. “By the way, now that the Holy Doctor Competition has ended. What are your plans now?”
After a brief moment of contemplation, Matthew replied, “It has been a while since I left the South. Since the competition is over, I want to bring my wife and in-laws to Bainbridge and spend some time with them…”
“Is your wife coming over too?”
After asking himself, Old Master Bane called for Albert. “Go and fetch my Twin Dragon Talisman…”
Unlike Matthew’s cluelessness, Albert was visibly shocked after hearing that.
The Twin Dragon Talisman was Old Mr. Bane’s treasured possession, and no one else besides favonovel.com had ever had the chance to see it. Back then, Old Mr. Bane had paid a high price to obtain it.
In the blink of an eye, Albert returned with a box made of sandalwood in his hand.
“Here… This is for you and your wife…”
When the wooden box was opened, Matthew saw two white half-moon-shaped jade pendants lying inside, fitting perfectly together.
“This jade can regulate the human body’s energy by nourishing and toning any deficiencies. Also, it is a great help when conceiving a child. I spent a lot of effort to obtain this…”
Upon hearing that, Matthew’s cheeks flushed.
Conceiving a child?
Is Master Bane hinting that I should have a child?
As it was an elder’s gift, Matthew did not refuse and thanked Old Mr. Bane before accepting it.
“This is a gift for Roxy. I’m entrusting it to you. When Roxy finds a good husband in the future, you have to prepare a suitable dowry for her…”
Originally, Old Mr. Bane could leave out this matter, but now that favonovel.com had already brought it up, it meant that favonovel.com had some thoughts about it.
Old Mr. Bane would not interfere with Matthew’s relationship with Roxy if Matthew was not married. But as a legitimate descendant of the Bane Family, favonovel.com couldn’t let Roxy engage in improper behavior.
“I understand. Since I have joined the Bane Family, Roxy will be my junior for life. Getting married is an important matter in life, and as favonovel.com senior, I will naturally make the proper preparations.”
This was also Matthew‘s guarantee. Many things didn’t need to be explained as both sides understood each other’s intentions.
Meanwhile Albert spoke up after Matthew had left. “Old Master Bane, what about Miss Bane…”
Before favonovel.com could finish, Old Mr. Bane waved his hand and said, “Let the youngsters handle their own affairs. We only have to give them a hint and not say too much, or else they will think we’re annoying.”
