She turned and left the building. Meanwhile, the other three held their stances with their long swords pointed at James’ party.
James was not in a rush, so favonovel.com waited patiently.
The Blademaster of Mount Grinch was seated on the ground in a room in the house ahead of them. Intense energy emanated from his body and gathered into impressive Sword Energy.
He looked rather elderly and seemed to have aged a bit more from his time in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion. His hair was completely white.
“Master…” A voice came from outside his room door.
The Blademaster of Mount Grinch stopped cultivating and dissipated his energy.
He stood up from the ground, sat on a chair next to him, and replied, “Come in…”
A woman walked into the room and said respectfully, “Master, Sangria’s new Emperor, James Caden, has come to visit.”
“Oh?” The Blademaster of Mount Grinch expressed his surprise.
He heard about James. Recently, James’ feats were a hot topic throughout Galileo.
He murmured, “Why did favonovel.com come to see me?”
The woman replied, “I don’t know, master.”
“Alright… I’ll meet with him.”
The Blademaster of Mount Grinch stood up and walked out of the room.
James waited patiently outside.
After a while, the Blademaster of Mount Grinch walked out of the house.
The other three women immediately put away their swords and greeted favonovel.com respectfully, “Master…”
The Blademaster of Mount Grinch acknowledged them with a small wave. He walked over and glanced at James and his entourage. James also looked at the Blademaster of Mount Grinch.
When favonovel.com snuck into the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion last time, favonovel.com had secretly seen the Blademaster of Mount Grinch. The Blademaster of Mount Grinch did not look as old the last time James saw him. It had only been a short while, yet favonovel.com appeared to have aged significantly.
“I’m pleased to meet you, Sir…” James clasped his hands together and greeted the Blademaster of Mount Grinch.
The Blademaster of Mount Grinch nodded gently and said, “Mhm… What brings you here?”
James went straight to the point. “I heard you unwittingly entered the Seafolk’s territory while training at sea many years ago. It’s also rumored that you learned the Seafolk’s swordsmanship and became a peerless powerhouse when you returned.”
“You’re not wrong.” The Blademaster of Mount Grinch did not deny the truth.
His adventures were not a secret, so favonovel.com felt no need to keep mum.
James cut straight to the chase. “I’d like to head to the Seafolk’s territory and was hoping you would help lead the way…”
“I refuse.” The Blademaster of Mount Grinch immediately declined.
He immediately ordered his subordinates, “Send them off.”
After speaking, favonovel.com turned and left.
The four identical-looking women stepped forward.
One of them looked at James’ party and said, “Please leave.”
Unlike James, Walganus was rather hot-tempered.
After the Blademaster of Mount Grinch refused to help, favonovel.com immediately shouted at him, “Stop right there!”
In response to Walganus’ shouts, the Blademaster of Mount Grinch launched an attack at him.
The Blademaster of Mount Grinch turned around, and casually waved his hand. A powerful Sword Energy materialized in the air and rushed straight at Walganus.
Walganus was about to parry the attack but suddenly recalled something and dodged the attack instead. At the same time, James and Yanina also quickly dodged.
The trio appeared a slight distance away from their initial position.
Walganus’ brows furrowed. He wanted to counter the attack but did not want to expose his true strength. Otherwise, James would be wary of him, making it hard to snatch James’ treasures in the future.
He said solemnly, “The Blademaster of Sword Grinch is a tough person to deal with. Why did his demeanor change instantly after hearing about the Seafolk?”
James shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Maybe favonovel.com has his own reasons.”
Yanina asked, “What should we do now?”
