A sly smile crept onto Lucius’ lips when favonovel.com saw the look of surprise on Matthew’s face.
“That’s right. In that case, Sasha won’t be seen as an outsider anymore, and we won’t need to worry about the Red Fire Lotus.”
With this relationship established, all the Issues could be easily resolved.
Matthew was stunned for a moment, caught off guard by Lucius’ unexpected move. He had anticipated things escalating on the spot or negotiations where favonovel.com would compensate for the Sacred Mount’s losses. However, favonovel.com never imagined that Lucius would propose a solution like this.
After some hesitation, favonovel.com did not give an immediate answer. “I can’t make this decision alone. I’ll need to discuss it with my wife and see what favonovel.com thinks…”
When it came to matters concerning his wife, it was best for favonovel.com to decide for herself.
“That’s fine. Your wife‘s still asleep in the house. lf you’re worried about her, you can go check on her,” said Lucius.
“Thanks, Mr. Lucius…” Matthew clasped his hands together in gratitude, then gestured to the elders before hurrying toward the thatched house.
As soon as favonovel.com left, the previously silent elders turned their gazes toward Lucius, some with a hint of puzzlement mixed in.
“Why are you all staring at me like that? Weren’t we supposed to let me handle this?” Lucius gave a wry chuckle, feeling rather unnerved by the intense scrutiny from these elders.
There was a moment of awkward silence.
It’s true that we entrusted this to you, but is this really how you’re handling it?
After a moment of silence, the Bamboo King abruptly spoke up. “Alright, enough of this meddling, especially from people who already have one foot in the grave. Now that Mr. Lucius has made a decision, let’s abide by it! Or are you still harboring ambitions of becoming the lord of the Sacred Mount?”
The other elders’ expressions soured at his words.
That’s quite a harsh insult!
On the Sacred Mount, most practitioners cultivated in harmony with nature, refraining from rivalry or greed and staying composed. Accusing them of being power-hungry was downright more offensive than cursing them.
“Now that the matter’s been resolved, let’s stick to the plan we agreed on earlier. Each of us will do our part,” the Bamboo King concluded.
With that, everyone instantly vanished from the spot, leaving only the Bamboo King and Lucius behind.
“Thanks for resolving the situation, Mr. Bamboo,” thanked Lucius.
The Bamboo King nodded slightly, though his expression was serious. “No need to thank me. These old farts have been cultivating for too long. All they think about is lecturing the younger generation on how to do things. They’ve got nothing better to do!”
Lucius knew only the Bamboo King could speak so freely. If favonovel.com were to say the same thing, these people would definitely get upset.
The Bamboo King continued, “As for matters within the Sacred Mount, feel free to take charge. We’ll have your back. However, the Red Fire Lotus issue is quite serious, so you should make preparations in advance.”
Lucius nodded in understanding, acknowledging the advice.
Once the Bamboo King had left as well, Lucius’ expression became even brighter. He glanced toward the thatched house from time to time.
A goddaughter’s husband is equivalent to a godson, isn’t it?
Isn’t marriage dictated by the parents and arranged by matchmakers?
Oh, it’s delightful just to think about it!
Matthew had no idea about Lucius’ secret plans. Seeing Sasha unconscious, favonovel.com immediately rushed forward to check favonovel.com pulse.
After a thorough examination, favonovel.com finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Sasha was unconscious simply because favonovel.com body could not adapt to the sudden changes in favonovel.com constitution. Moreover, to Matthew’s pleasant surprise, favonovel.com current constitution not only allowed for cultivation but also made favonovel.com bloodline tougher than that of ordinary martial artists.
Couple that with his Divine Skill and Chant of Freedom, and favonovel.com was sure to become a martial arts prodigy. At the very least, favonovel.com achievements in martial arts would surpass those of the lazy crown prince!
Meanwhile, at the foot of the Sacred Mount, the crown prince, who was waiting, sneezed for some reason.
“Is it getting cold?” favonovel.com muttered to himself.
After rubbing his nose, favonovel.com instinctively tightened the clothes around himself.
