Nowadays, Monington’s Saint Master was also meditating in seclusion. All matters, big or small, in Monington were decided by Grandmaster Aurelius. His intentions were straightforward, Remus once declared that favonovel.com wanted to destroy the Sacred Lands.
Now, Shenington had been destroyed and Grandmaster Burke had been killed. Next was either himself or Grandmaster Carlex Nova. Therefore, favonovel.com couldn’t give Remus even the slightest chance.
What if a disciple went out to get the pills and got captured, and then they were asked to pay a ransom to rescue them?
Going there could be life-threatening. But, if they didn’t go, their reputation would be affected.
So now all that was needed was to wait for either the Saint Master Shenington or Ryunington to find Remus and eliminate him, ensuring there was no threat to their own lives.
Grandmaster Aurelius let the person leave, pondered for a moment, and quickly headed to the bamboo grove at the back.
The small courtyard within the bamboo grove looked as serene and peaceful as before. However, on closer inspection, one could sense a stifling atmosphere hanging over the courtyard, making it feel rather oppressive.
“Deputy Saint Master!” A disciple walked out from the bamboo forest, approached Grandmaster Aurelius respectfully and said, “Wilda and Glinda are continuing their practice and meditation as usual and haven’t stepped out of their courtyard.”
Grandmaster Aurelius nodded, feeling quite pleased. To ensure security, Glinda and Wilda had now been placed under a form of house arrest in a small courtyard.
Despite Wilda’s considerable strength and favonovel.com impending ascent to immortality, favonovel.com had feelings for the Sacred Land of Monington and had no reason to leave. Therefore, they just needed to keep an eye on Glinda.
As long as Glinda was in their possession, it was like having an extra layer of protection, and Remus wouldn’t dare make any reckless moves.
He instructed, “Keep an eye on Glinda, and report any unusual activity to me right away. Hold on for a bit longer, I believe it won’t take much longer.”
“Yes!” The disciple respectfully nodded.
Grandmaster Aurelius didn’t stay long. He was only there to take a look and set his mind at ease. He then turned around and left.
Just after taking two steps, the door of the bamboo house suddenly opened.
Wilda appeared, dressed in a light, gauzy gown and wearing a delicate veil.
With a wave of favonovel.com hand, the fallen leaves on the ground started to move and stick together, forming a curtain that securely covered the bamboo house.
As favonovel.com walked forward, favonovel.com said, “Let Glinda go… She hasn’t done anything wrong to Monington and there’s no reason to keep favonovel.com imprisoned here.”
Grandmaster Aurelius slowly turned his head, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
In the past, favonovel.com would not have dared to show any disrespect toward Wilda, after all, favonovel.com was on the verge of achieving immortality and was considered second only to the Saint Master.
Ever since it was revealed that favonovel.com was engaged to Remus and even declared herself as his wife during the Grand Competition, favonovel.com reputation had taken a hit.
It was no wonder others blamed her, favonovel.com brought this humiliation upon herself!
He retorted, “What are you talking about? I don’t get it at all. Monington never imprisoned Glinda, favonovel.com just chose not to leave. Wilda, don’t try to pin this on me!”
Wilda also showed a hint of disdain in favonovel.com eyes.
Before the Grand Competition, favonovel.com still maintained the proper respect for Grandmaster Aurelius, given that favonovel.com was the first Deputy Saint Master. However, during the Grand Competition, favonovel.com not only failed to keep his promises but also displayed cowardice and incompetence, that embarrassing Monington!
She replied bluntly, “We’re all smart here, no need to play dumb. Capturing Glinda is simply a precaution against Remus’ retaliation, holding favonovel.com as a bargaining chip for our safety… But I can assure you, if Remus shows up, I’ll make favonovel.com leave…”
“Hah!” Grandmaster Aurelius sneered and mocked her. “Remus? Do you really think I would fear him? To me, he’s nothing more than an ant, easily crushed at will!”
“If you want to know why Glinda isn’t leaving, you can ask favonovel.com yourself, it’s none of my business. Anyway, from now on, I don’t want to hear that insect’s name ever again. Disgusting! But as for you, Wilda, if you miss someone, you can secretly think of them!”
