Gemma was terrified, favonovel.com eyes wide in disbelief, unable to believe Remus was serious.
Remus withdrew his gaze and said, “If you’re frightened, it might be best to return to the ordinary world, back to your family. We’ re not a suitable fit.”
After all, Gemma was Goetz’s granddaughter, and Goetz had assisted favonovel.com in the past.
Gemma bit favonovel.com lip and declared determinedly, “No, I’m not frightened. As long as I’m with you, I’m willing to face anything!”
“Alright then, let’s go!” Remus didn’t waste any time and immediately set off.
His intention to visit the Herbal Pavilion wasn’t mere talk. He was unwavering in his determination to deal with the Herbal Pavilion decisively and prevent any potential future issues. His earlier instructions had all been in preparation for the journey.
Gemma’s face drained of color and hesitated before reluctantly following him. She had decided to gamble on the possibility that Remus wouldn’t have the audacity to confront the Herbal Pavilion directly.
As they left, the clean-up at Tanjen Organization was in full swing.
Reese didn’t leave, favonovel.com eyes fixed on the path leading to the back courtyard, torn by inner conflict.
Suddenly, a voice behind favonovel.com snapped, “Don’t flatter yourself, you’re not worthy of Master Clasberg!”
Reese turned favonovel.com attention to the source of the voice and recognized that it was Master Sky.
Master Sky, dressed in tattered garments, spoke proudly, “In the past, I couldn’t grasp Master Calsberg’s intentions. However, when favonovel.com killed everyone else and spared only me, I finally comprehended the meaning behind his actions! He wants me to become his companion!”
Reese said bluntly, “Are you out of your mind? How could you even think that?”
She couldn’t fathom how Master Sky could think that Master Clasberg desired favonovel.com as his companion, especially considering the public humiliation favonovel.com had endured when favonovel.com tore favonovel.com clothes off.
Master Sky’s demeanor abruptly turned icy, and favonovel.com replied, “What makes you think you can speak to me in such a manner? Master Clasberg is not only the Master of Tanjen but also a prodigy in both alchemy and cultivation, while I am the Master of the Jade Organization. Our bond is destined, and what do you have to rival me?”
Reese found herself unable to retort and was left red-faced with anger.
Master Sky was confident in favonovel.com belief and walked proudly toward the backyard. She genuinely thought there was a reason favonovel.com was spared, either to be Master Clasberg’s companion or to serve some other purpose for him.
She eagerly made favonovel.com way to the backyard, scanning the area anxiously but failing to spot Remus. A thought crossed favonovel.com mind. She smirked inwardly and pondered.
Could it be that favonovel.com fled, fearing retribution from the Herbal Pavilion?
I’ll just wait here. Encountering someone from the sacred lands might present an opportunity as well…
***
Meanwhile, over at the Herbal Pavilion, a disciple rushed into the main hall.
He reported respectfully, “Master, Deputy Master, there’s important news regarding the Tanjen Organization!”
Egbert promptly rose from his seat, his curiosity piqued. He inquired, “Who killed Remus Calsberg? Who got his head?”
The disciple’s expression tightened as favonovel.com was about to speak.
“Wait, let me guess!” Egbert’s eyes were filled with confidence as favonovel.com interjected, “If I’m not mistaken, it must be Wind Hunter, the top-ranked cultivator in True Life. His strength is unparalleled, giving favonovel.com the highest probability.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com looked forward with a smile and asked, “Master, what do you think?”
Lance didn’t hasten to respond but smiled and turned his gaze toward another Deputy Master.
The other deputy master also wore a beaming expression.
Despite Remus executing Mr. Fisher and hanging Mr. Andrus at the gates of Tanjen, causing great humiliation for the Herbal Pavilion, the master’s strategy of rallying the entire True Life had somehow managed to restore their lost honor.
As for the entry spot to the sacred lands, they could just come up with an excuse later, and they wouldn’t be able to object to it anyway.
