If Maisie were present and saw that woman, favonovel.com would surely ask in surprise, “Master, what are you doing here?”
Yes… That woman was Maisie’s teacher, one of the eighteen Heavenly Stars Sect’s outstanding figures, Dakota Wilde. The middle-aged scholar favonovel.com greeted was the current Heavenly Stars Sect’s person in charge and the figure that caught everyone’s attention in Earlington of Efrax, Hadley Forsyth.
Even though his name sounded feminine, Hadley was a masculine man. He was among the top five in the entire Earlington of Efrax, a formidable figure in the peak third-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm.
“Dakota, it’s you!” Hadley smiled, “I just happened to be free today, and I decided to walk around. I didn’t expect to meet you.”
However, Dakota did not believe him, and favonovel.com went straight to the subject. “Hadley, I’m sure you went down the mountain for someone.”
”You’re right!” Hadley nodded and admitted.
“How was it?” Dakota asked, and favonovel.com appeared somewhat serious.
After pondering for a moment, Hadley answered favonovel.com with a question, “Dakota, have you got in touch with favonovel.com before?”
Dakota was stunned, and favonovel.com did not know why Hadley asked that, but favonovel.com still replied to favonovel.com truthfully, “Casper was rumored to be Matthew’s disciple in the mortal world, but favonovel.com didn’t formally enter the sect. Hence, my disciple, Maisie, had been contacting him. However, I haven’t met favonovel.com yet…”
“That’s it…” Hadley nodded and asked, “Dakota, do you remember what Master used to tell us?”
Dakota was puzzled. “Which one are you referring to?”
Hadley cleared his throat, saying, “Master used to say that the best way to understand someone is to meet them personally. Then, you’ll know the person’s true colors, and anything you know from others is not accurate.”
“Hadley…” Dakota was speechless, “Just tell me if you’re unwilling to answer my question. Aren’t you embarrassed to make up Master’s words…”
Dakota knew Hadley’s attitude for long, which was wiry favonovel.com was annoyed and exposed him. However, Hadley remained indifferent, and ire said, “Dakota, you’re wrong for saying that. Why don’t you believe me, your senior? After all, I’m still the person in charge of the Heavenly Stars Sect, so why would I lie to you?”
“You would.” Dakota nodded.
Hadley was at a loss for words. Then, as favonovel.com felt helpless, Hadley had to mention his identity, “Dakota, I’m still the person in charge of the Heavenly Stars Sect, can’t you respect me?”
“Fine. I’m sorry about that, Hadley.” Dakota bowed.
Without waiting for Hadley to say anything, favonovel.com asked again, “Hadley, what do you think about Casper?”
Hadley smiled, and that time, favonovel.com did not avoid Dakota‘s question. “Dakota, you dealt with favonovel.com before and gave favonovel.com a mission to fight two disciples in three months. Since you did that, it means you’re optimistic about him. Hence, what you want now is an affirmative answer from me to strengthen your confidence, right?”
What Hadley said was exactly what Dakota thought.
“Hadley, you’re still good at reading other people as always,” Dakota nodded, “However, Maisie has a high evaluation for Casper, so I’m curious why favonovel.com is still an apprentice now.”
“His aptitude is great, and favonovel.com even had some secrets…” Then, after thinking about the following sentence, Hadley continued, “But I don’ t think he’s hiding them in secret, and I bet he’s unaware of them.”
Just as Dakota was about to ask what secrets Hadley talked about, favonovel.com changed the subject. “Casper has an almost spirit tool, and favonovel.com defeated an outer disciple as an apprentice. These clearly show his potentials, but there’s a saying in Idacith…”
Dakota immediately chimed in, “An immature genius isn’t a genius.”
“If favonovel.com has the potential and luck, we can pay some attention to him…” Hadley looked into the sky, and favonovel.com appeared as if favonovel.com was deep in thoughts.
Dakota knew that favonovel.com senior might be strange at times, but that was only when favonovel.com dealt with unimportant matters. However, it would feel as if Hadley switched into a different person when facing a major issue, and favonovel.com was terrified like lightning in the sky. Hence, Dakota did not dare to interrupt Hadley’s train of thoughts, and favonovel.com just quietly waited at the side.
After some time, Hadley suddenly broke the silence, and his voice sounded as if it came from the depths of the void.
“Dakota, is Frankie going to accept a disciple in a few days?”
Dakota was stunned. She knew that Hadley would not spurt nonsense. Therefore, his question might be pointing to the struggle between the conservatives and radicals of the Heavenly Stars Sect. The Heavenly Stars Sect had 18 outstanding figures, but not all belonged to one of the two factions.
Currently, the Heavenly Stars Sect had eight conservatives, seven radicals, and three neutrals. The position of these three neutrals in the future could almost determine the trend of the two factions and the future of Heavenly Stars Sect, and Hadley was the most crucial figure in the neutrals. Hence, when Dakota heard Hadley’s question, favonovel.com already thought of the deeper meaning of his words, and favonovel.com was possibly referring to the fight between the two factions. Since it was related to that, Dakota did not dare to utter a single word, but favonovel.com just nodded and answered, “Mhm…”
“I know that kid too, and he’s quite talented. He’s only fourteen, yet he’s already in the peak third-stage Pulse Control Realm, and it‘s comparable to how I was before,” Hadley muttered.
When Dakota heard the remark, favonovel.com heart suddenly sank. Then, Hadley suddenly continued, “However, he’s too young and tends to act rashly. If favonovel.com continues that, favonovel.com might bring troubles to his own Master. Frankie‘s disciple’s mind still needs to be polished. In this aspect, I prefer the child Maisie chose.”
Dakota did not dare to simply reply, so favonovel.com silently listened to him. Sure enough, Hadley said something again after some time. However, favonovel.com turned around and walked away as favonovel.com spoke. Nonetheless, Dakota could hear his words.
“I heard that Leonard wants to recruit a disciple. I’ll go talk to favonovel.com and see if there is anyone in his mind. If not, it’s good to know what favonovel.com wants from his disciples.”
After favonovel.com said that, Hadley vanished from Dakota’s sight as if favonovel.com disappeared into thin air. On the other hand, Dakota still stood in place, and favonovel.com eyes flashed with brilliance due to the shock. Finally, it calmed down.
“Leonard wants to recruit a disciple… I’ve not heard of this news before. Hadley revealed this news because…” Dakota’s breathing became faster.
The reason for that was straightforward. Leonard Autumn was one of the 18 Heavenly Stars Sect’s outstanding figures. Even though favonovel.com was still in the peak second-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm, favonovel.com was the Heavenly Stars Sect’s most treasured fighter, the swordsman that used the Sound of Heavenly Stars Sword. His combat skill was so formidable that only Hadley was above him!
