Even though Mr. Zayne did not say a word, Claude could sense the mockery behind his cold smile. At that moment, Claude felt even more unhappy with the situation.
Neither of them knew how to get into the inner valley, and they had never received the test before. The two of them had thought that it was because neither of them had any noticeable breakthroughs as seventh-grade alchemists. Yet, it seemed that it was purely because they were not talented enough!
When Jack heard that, favonovel.com got even more curious about the inner valley.
Jack had not planned on staying in Phoenix Valley for that long. He felt like Phoenix Valley was an incredibly dangerous place. If favonovel.com stayed there for too long, it was possible favonovel.com would end up being pulled in, but Jack was beginning to sway from that decision. He really wanted to see why the inner valley was so mysterious. Even with so much at stake, the higher-ups of Phoenix Valley were not willing to send them. There had to be a reason for that.
Jack narrowed his eyes as various thoughts swam in his head. While favonovel.com was occupied with his thoughts, Mr. Zayne suddenly let out a surprised exclamation.
The few of them followed his gaze curiously. Mr. Zayne forward as favonovel.com looked in the direction of the members of the Sky Peak Pavilion. Jack followed his gaze and noticed that Mr. Zayne was staring at Bradley.
Mr. Zayne frowned as favonovel.com scanned Bradley up and down a few times. He looked like favonovel.com had seen something through Bradley. After a while, Mr. Zayne finally said, “I keep feeling like I’ve seen Bradley before! As for where I met him, I can’t really recall. Why do I keep feeling like favonovel.com looks really familiar?”
After that, Elder Maurice hurriedly asked, “He looks familiar to you? You’ve seen favonovel.com somewhere before?”
Mr. Zayne did not answer Elder Maurice immediately and merely continued staring at Bradley. He looked like favonovel.com wanted to skin Bradley alive. After a moment, Mr. Zayne finally slapped his head in realization.
“I remember now! It’s the test from the inner valley a year ago! Bradley was there! Elder Maurice, weren’t you sent off on an errand then? The few of us were left behind to help out. The guy had a very good showing that time. I was sure favonovel.com would be accepted into the inner valley, but his family suddenly changed their mind. They paid a very big price to bring Bradley out!”
Those words caused everyone there to widen their eyes. That piece of news was too shocking. Turns out that Bradley was also part of Phoenix Valley before and had even taken the test.
“He had performed excellently in Phoenix Valley and was just a step away from being accepted into the inner valley before favonovel.com was brought away by his family. They had paid a large price as well.”
Elder Maurice’s expression changed immediately to those words. He quickly pulled Mr. Zayne’s arm and said, “Keep your voice down! Tell me about it in detail!”
Jack was suddenly speechless at Elder Maurice’s words. It was obvious Elder Maurice did not want everyone else to hear it.
Mr. Zayne proceeded to whisper into Elder Maurice’s ears after that as they talked in private for a long time.
