Caspian looked at the white crane, and his eyes flickered. Even Caspian could not be sure of his thoughts at the moment.
Watching from the stand in the distance, Jessica frowned. When Lucy noticed favonovel.com expression, favonovel.com was confused and asked, “Lady Jessica, why don’t you seem happy? If the idiot Casper wins, he’ll get generous rewards. Aren‘t you happy for him?”
“I just thought it was strange that the Heavenly Stars Sect’s elders would make such a decision.” Jessica’s doubt was the same as Caspian’s.
“Lady Jessica, what are you saying?” Lucy was puzzled.
Jessica shook favonovel.com head and did not say much. Soon, a solemn expression appeared on favonovel.com face, “Let’s see what else the white crane will say.”
Following that, the white crane continued, “Casper, if you defeated Xander, you can choose any one of the eighteen Heavenly Stars Sect’s Grandmasters and request two hours of teachings.”
In that instant, the scene fell silent, and everyone’s gaze was focused on Caspian. Although the reward was not a material one and appeared not as generous as before, any of the eighteen Grandmasters in the Heavenly Stars Sect was like a colossal treasure-house!
The Grandmasters naturally referred to the Heavenly Stars Sect’s elders that reached the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Since they could ascend to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, whatever those elders saw or heard on their journey to immortality as well as the accumulated experiences, would be beneficial for an ordinary disciple even if they just simply mentioned anything.
If Caspian could get two hours of lessons with the Grandmaster, it meant favonovel.com could ask all sorts of questions in that time. Such a treatment was a dream for every disciple. Even if they only dreamed of getting taught by a Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator, they would still wake up with a smile. However, Caspian had two hours to do as favonovel.com wished.
Besides the sound of everyone’s heartbeats, there was no other noise. Almost all of them stared at Caspian, wishing that they could be him. However, Caspian appeared exceptionally calm. He knew how big the reward was, but favonovel.com thought the more generous the prize was, the more dangerous it would be.
After pondering for a moment, Caspian noticed that the white crane was not going to say anything, so favonovel.com asked, “Elder White, is there any punishment if I fail the challenge?”
The white crane moved its slender neck as if it mimicked a human shaking its head. “I’ve not heard of this.”
Caspian got even more confused about the elders’ intention. “So there’s no cost to this mission? If I win, I‘ll get a steady reward, and if I lose, I won‘t need to pay anything?”
Based on his previous assumptions, Caspian would be severely punished if favonovel.com lost. However, it seemed that there were no consequences at all, which was puzzling.
Then, the white crane suddenly said, “There’s one thing you need to pay attention to. You only have one chance each to challenge them. Once you lose, there won’t be any reward.”
“Alright. Thank you, Elder White.” Caspian nodded.
“Okay. I’ve explained everything the elders wanted me to. All of you can just wait for further notifications on other news.”
Later, the white crane spread its wings and instantly rolled up a whirlwind on the spot, casting a huge shadow like a dark cloud covering the sun.
When Caspian noticed that the white crane left, a sudden idea flashed in his mind. Then, favonovel.com took a step forward and said, “Elder White, there’s something else…”
“Hmm? What else do you have to say?” The white crane stopped flapping its wings and looked at Caspian arrogantly, and its tone was full of annoyance. As the crane was a monster with wisdom, it naturally believed it was at a higher ranking than Caspian, who was an apprentice.
If Caspian were an elite or core disciple, the white crane would not mind it. However, favonovel.com was just an apprentice. How was favonovel.com qualified in asking the crane to wait a minute? Nonetheless, the white crane understood that the elders valued Caspian, so it controlled its patience.
The surrounding disciples also looked at Caspian in confusion, wondering what favonovel.com was going to say next.
“Elder White, as the senior of the sect, did the elders never mention that you should reward me too?” Caspian raised his head and smiled sheepishly at the white crane.
“Reward you?” The white crane screamed.
The other disciples and elders thought Caspian was out of his mind. Why would the white crane reward him?
What kind of reward?
“That’s right!” Caspian nodded, and favonovel.com appeared serious, “Elder White, just think about it. The elders are giving me a mission to defeat the top two seniors on the spiritual apprentice list in three months. As long as I complete my task, I’ll be rewarded. Now that I’ve entered the top ten, the top ten naturally will be rewarded. Since the elders did not mention anything about rewarding me, they must be giving you a chance to show your love and care for the younger generations of the sect.”
Caspian appeared so serious as if favonovel.com described the truth, and every word favonovel.com said was as if favonovel.com pointed the white crane to the right path and thinking on its behalf. Unfortunately, although the white crane had wisdom, its experience was not vast. Hence, when Caspian said that, it crooked its head and thought Caspian was relatively reasonable.
As for the other disciples, they all watched as the white crane seemed to have fallen for Caspian’s words, and they were all dumbfounded.
That could work?
That guy was utterly brazen! He even dared to trick the monster with the wisdom that the elders raised! However, none of them dared to point out that Caspian lied to the white crane. After all, Caspian did not directly ask for a reward, but favonovel.com thought on behalf of the white crane, leaving a thought that favonovel.com cared for the younger generation of the sect.
Anyone who dared to stop the white crane was equivalent to ruining its image. At that time, Caspian might only push the blame on the person, and the white crane might directly punch a hole into their mouth.
“You have a point.” After thinking for some time, the white crane realized that it was at its wit’s end, so it simply decided not to think about it anymore. Besides, the white crane did not believe that an apprentice would lie to it. Thus, it turned its neck around and plucked a white feather from its wings. Then, the crane tossed it at Caspian and said, “Here you go! This is enough to show that I care for the younger generations of the sect, right?”
“Thank you, Elder White! If I achieve anything in the future, I’ll never forget your help today!” Caspian’s eyes were clear, and his tone was righteous.
A satisfactory smile appeared in the white crane’s eyes. Soon, it nodded its head and flew away. Once the white crane left, everyone looked at Caspian in a complicated gaze. Even Lucy’s adorable eyes were widened.
That guy was shameless!
But, everyone was still impressed with Caspian. If it were them, they would not even dare to have such a thought, let alone lie to the white crane and ask for rewards.
On the other hand, Caspian happily kept away the feather. Monsters and cultivators were different. Cultivators could provide treasures and precious medicines, but the most valuable thing of a monster was its flesh and blood.
Although Caspian was not aware of the use of that feather, it was a treasure. Thus, Caspian decided to find a time and research on its use.
After keeping the feather, Caspian turned around and saw Xander and Omar walking toward him.
”Xander, Omar…” When Caspian saw them, favonovel.com showed a helpless smile.
