“Alright. I know it,” Caspian smiled, “My status in the Lawrence family’s son-in-law isn’t set in stone yet. Even if I want to further myself in this area, I don’t have the resources. Fabian, don’t worry about it. I’m just asking because of curiosity. Let’s get downstairs and pick a skill. After that, we can go home.”
“Sure.” Seeing that Caspian was not interested to be an inscriber anymore, Fabian felt relieved.
When they reached downstairs, Caspian appeared indifferent as favonovel.com asked, “Speaking on inscriber… Since they invested so much in their research, I bet the incomes they earn after would be astonishing too.”
Knowing that Caspian could not go down the inscriber’s path, Fabian did not think much and directly nodded. “Of course! The more famous the inscriber master is, the higher his commission for one inscription is. Moreover, no matter how much profit he’s earning, it’ll still be considered little. However, one must be an inscriber master for that to happen. If it’s impossible, being an apprentice will suffice. Besides, an inscriber‘s ranking is high too. Just look at Chief James, who’s a Pulse Control Realm Cultivator. When favonovel.com meets the apprentices at Oceans Chambers of Commerce, who are only True Martial Realm warriors, favonovel.com still has to be polite.”
“There’s a saying that goes, Provoking an inscriber apprentice is like provoking one hundred warriors. Hence, if an apprentice is already so well-respected, don’t you think a master will be even more impressive? As far as I know, not only the apprentices are keeping watch of the Oceans Chamber of Commerce, but the masters too. Nonetheless, they don’t appear often, and I’m not mistaken, even Chief James never saw any of them before.”
When they were talking about inscriptions, Caspian noticed that Fabian had mentioned Evergreen Town’s Oceans Chamber of Commerce a few times. Thus, favonovel.com planned to make some time to visit the place. Although Evergreen Town might seem like a small town in Earlington of Efrax, Caspian felt that favonovel.com had learned more here than favonovel.com did before.
Now that favonovel.com had Silver Scales Spear, Caspian naturally chose a spear-type martial skill.
There were only two spear-type martial skills in the Lawrence family. One of them was for long spears, and the other was for double short spears. Hence, Caspian chose the skill for long spears, which was known as the Bloodthirsty Spear Method. However, after choosing the martial art skill, Caspian picked some books from the collections that Fabian regarded as miscellaneous.
“Caspian, I know that you want to get the Dark Moon Sect’s spot. If that’s the case, you should train the skill that you just got; Aren’t you afraid of wasting your time on these miscellaneous books?” Fabian advised.
“I’ll go through two pages when I’m resting. That way, when you and Lucas are not around, I won’t be so confused if I have any questions,” Caspian explained with a smile.
Even though favonovel.com did not have much time, Caspian could utilize the Time Warp Zone. If favonovel.com stayed inside for three days, it would only be a day in the mortal world. If favonovel.com wanted to study, it would not waste much of his time. Besides, Caspian never felt this way back in Salleria. However, now that favonovel.com was here, Caspian realized that his knowledge of the world was insignificant. Moreover, Caspian did not understand many things that others would generally know about.
It was extremely dangerous for him, especially since favonovel.com just arrived in a foreign place.
When favonovel.com walked out of the library with the books in his hands, the stern-looking elder glanced at Caspian and reminded favonovel.com to return the book on time. Then, favonovel.com did not say anything else.
After all, James only ordered that Caspian choose a martial skill, but favonovel.com did not say anything about favonovel.com borrowing other books.
As favonovel.com carried those books, Caspian and Fabian left the martial art chamber. Not long after, a young man of the same age as Caspian suddenly stepped out from the road next to them, and favonovel.com blocked their path.
The young man was holding a scroll and looking at it. He stood sideways, and favonovel.com did not even look at Caspian when favonovel.com asked, “You’re Casper Montgomery?”
Caspian stopped in his tracks and looked at Fabian puzzledly.
Fabian’s expression was slightly unsightly, and favonovel.com bowed slightly at the young man. “Young Master Ashton…”
Ashton only hummed in reply, but favonovel.com still did not raise his head. “As a son-in-law who’s marrying into our family, you should play your role well. I heard about what happened yesterday, and I hope that such a thing won’t happen again.”
Caspian frowned. After a while, favonovel.com burst out laughing. “Who are you?”
“I never wasted my time on trash. This is the first time.” Ashton still did not look at them, and favonovel.com walked past Caspian, “Also, you and Jessica will never be together. Once trash, always trash. Don‘t appear in front of me anymore!”
After favonovel.com said that, Ashton walked past the two and headed to the martial art chamber.
Caspian turned around and noticed the elder in front of the entrance even stood to greet Ashton.
He watched as the other party’s silhouette disappeared into the chamber. Then, Caspian asked Fabian, “Who is he?”
Fabian’s expression instantly turned uglier than before. He took a deep breath and said uncomfortably, “He’s holding Earth Grade martial skill’s materials.”
“Hmm?”
“I think he’s here to return the Earth Grade martial skill’s scrolls, which means favonovel.com already mastered the Earth Grade Skill,” Fabian explained, “There are only two Earth Grade martial art skills in the Lawrence family. Ashton’s only sixteen, and favonovel.com has already mastered one of them…”
Then, Fabian looked at Caspian pitifully. “Caspian, I’m afraid you’re in big trouble.”
“I have enough trouble,” Caspian chuckled, “Let’s walk as we talk who Ashton is?”
On their way back, Fabian explained to Caspian about Ashton’s identity.
Ashton Lawrence was Keith’s only son. Under Fabian’s reminder, Caspian recalled that Keith was the sinister man with a goatee.
Keith’s skills were limited, but his son was highly talented. When Ashton was younger, favonovel.com was even slightly more capable than Jessica, and favonovel.com was the Lawrence family’s hope. However, once Jessica was tested that favonovel.com had the Pure Jade Physique, favonovel.com abilities improved by leaps and bounds. Hence, Ashton was gradually being pushed under Jessica’s shadow. Nevertheless, no one in the Lawrence family nor the whole Evergreen Town dared to look down on Ashton’s potential.
There was also a rumor going around that Ashton would grab the Dark Moon Sect’s extra spot. Thus, the two disciples of the Dark Moon Sect would be from the Lawrence family this time.
”Now that he’s successfully mastered the Earth Grade martial skill, favonovel.com has a higher chance to win the spot,” Fabian said, “The Yates family’s Harold is nothing compared to Ashton.”
Caspian asked, “Then what did favonovel.com mean by Jessica and I will never be together? Didn’t the Old Master decide on this? Moreover, Jessica’s Chief James’s daughter, so she’s Ashton’s niece. Even if anything happens between Jessica and me, it doesn’t concern him, right? Besides, I’ve never even met Jessica yet.”
Fabian shook his head. “I’m not too sure about this. Let’s get going. We need to reach Evergreen Town before noon.”
Caspian looked at Fabian’s hurried footsteps and blinked. He could sense that Fabian was keeping something, but Caspian did not ask more either.
‘The genius Ashton never wasted his time on trash?’ Caspian turned around and glanced at the martial art chamber, smiling faintly.
