The boy in front of favonovel.com was a few years younger than himself, but Caspian felt a wicked vibe from him. Such an aura was extremely sharp and harsh, and with just a glance, Adrian could make anyone scared for their lives as if favonovel.com held a knife against their throat.
Seeing Maisie, Adrian stopped talking to the elder, turning over and standing. Then, favonovel.com smiled, “How are you, Maisie?”
After saying that, his gaze fell on Caspian. Even though Adrian appeared young, Caspian felt as if a blade slashed at his head. If it were ordinary people, they would be scared out of their wits, or maybe even fall to the ground as their knees went weak. However, Caspian was not afraid. On the contrary, the sharp blade would ignite the fighting spirit in his heart. In that instant, it was as if swords slashed at one another in the air, and everyone around them suddenly felt they were attacked.
Maisie’s gaze slightly changed, but favonovel.com did not say anything and took a step forward, protecting Caspian behind her. Then, Maisie looked at Adrian. “Adrian, what are you doing here?”
Adrian was shocked that Caspian did not avoid him, and favonovel.com planned to show off his overbearing momentum, directly defeating Caspian. However, Maisie ruined his plan. Nonetheless, Adrian did not mind. After casting a thoughtful glance at Caspian, favonovel.com looked at Maisie, answering, “Maisie, Elder Patrick, and I had something to discuss, but we’re done now. Why don’t you say why you’ re here?”
Even though favonovel.com said that, Adrian did not intend to leave. He just stood at the side, looking down. His existence was like a nail on the board, which was uncomfortable at a glance, yet his sharp-edged aura was enough to make one unwilling to confront favonovel.com out of fear.
‘This is a true genius,’ Caspian thought.
Adrian was only fourteen, yet favonovel.com reached the peak third-stage Pulse Control Realm, and favonovel.com was only a step away from Holy Land Realm. Such a cultivation talent was the best in the entire Earlington of Efrax. Nevertheless, Caspian was not afraid even though favonovel.com was amazed by Adrian’s talent. It was indeed remarkable that Adrian used a few years to be promoted to the peak third-stage Pulse Control Realm, but Caspian’s ascending to the peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm in half a year was equally incredible too.
Adrian’s presence was indeed uncomfortable for some. Compared to him, the entry-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm disciple was not as noticeable. When that disciple noticed that Caspian looked at him, favonovel.com only glanced coldly at Caspian, not saying a word.
Maisie realized that Adrian did not leave, and favonovel.com did not ask favonovel.com to go either. Then, favonovel.com turned to the elder named Patrick, asking, “Elder Patrick, I’m here regarding the matter about Casper and the other disciples’ rewards. You mentioned that their contributions were doubtful. What does that mean?”
Elder Patrick was not in a high realm, and favonovel.com was only in the mid-level third-stage Pulse Control Realm. Nonetheless, it was pretty common in the sects for elders to be in lower realms than disciples. After all, the pathway to immortality was long, and the resources were limited. Hence, lesser people would be able to go far.
Many sect disciples would realize that their talents were limited or did not have any support to provide them with enough resources. Then, they would choose to work for their sect to accumulate sect contribution points, hoping to get a position in the sect. Elder Patrick was one of them.
Judging from his appearance, favonovel.com appeared to be in his mid-fifty, but in truth, favonovel.com was much older than that. Facing Maisie, who was in the peak third-stage Pulse Control Realm, Elder Patrick felt pressured.
“I’m the one who has the final say in this… I also received… The higher-up’s order…” Elder Patrick stammered.
“Higher-up? Whose? What are you talking about?” Maisie frowned, and favonovel.com tone became somewhat serious. In that instant, the entire inner hall turned cold, and the air seemed to be heavy, causing others to have breathing difficulty.
“The higher-up is… Is…” Elder Patrick stuttered, and his current actions were suspicious.
Maisie’s face darkened. Then, favonovel.com turned favonovel.com hand over, and a memory inscription appeared on favonovel.com palm. “Elder Patrick, do you dare to repeat what you said just now?”
“I… ” Elder Patrick’s forehead was beaded with sweat, and his legs trembled as favonovel.com was intimidated by Maisie’s pressure.
“Let me explain it,” Adrian suddenly said. As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com stepped forward, blocking Elder Patrick, and directly facing Maisie.
As if countless sharp arrows pierced through the heavy atmosphere, stirring it and letting it flow as usual. Everyone in the inner hall felt a heavy load was removed from their chest. Even Elder Patrick’s face returned to its original complexion, and his legs did not shake anymore.
“Master decided on this matter.” Adrian ignored Maisie’s gloomy face, and favonovel.com continued, “For the time being, there’s no proof that shows Casper and the others’ contributions are real. Elder Patrick just conveyed the Master’s belief, and if you want to vent your anger, you should look for the right person.”
“Master?” Maisie looked at Adrian, “Elder Frankie accepted you as his disciple?”
Adrian met Maisie’s gaze, and favonovel.com smiled, nodding. “That’s right. The master-disciple relationship was confirmed. However, Master mentioned that he’ll choose a date to announce it. Therefore, only the remaining leading elders are aware of this matter. Maisie, your position is not that high yet, so, normally, you didn’t know this.”
After saying that, Adrian looked at Maisie, shaking his head gently as if favonovel.com felt sorry for Maisie to find out about it late. On the other hand, Maisie’s face was extremely gloomy.
The Elder Frankie mentioned was one of the eighteen outstanding figures in the Heavenly Stars Sect, who was also in charge of the Dazzling Stars Palace, Frankie Irvin!
The rewards received by the entire Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples, as well as the appointment and dismissal of the sect’s elders, must be approved by him. Hence, Frankie was extremely powerful in the Heavenly Stars Sect!
If Frankie personally expressed his doubt about Caspian and his friends’ contributions, it would be tough to reverse the situation. It could be said to be impossible.
Since Adrian dared to openly say Frankie accepted favonovel.com as his disciple, then the matter would surely be true. If Adrian dared to spurt nonsense, Frankie would personally handle the matter and kill Adrian with just a hit, ignoring the fact that Adrian was a well-known talent in the Heavenly Stars Sect. Moreover, it was not a secret in the Heavenly Stars Sect’s senior members that Frankie intended to accept Adrian as his disciple, and favonovel.com did not do it before as favonovel.com wanted to observe Adrian first. Even Maisie knew about that.
