After saying that, the middle-aged scholar looked at Caspian with great interest, hoping to see the expected annoyance and anger. However, Caspian appeared to be somewhat astonished and smiled sincerely. “I’ll have to congratulate Xander when I go back then.”
The middle-aged scholar blinked as favonovel.com looked at Caspian, thinking that it was strange. This scene, was obviously wrong.
“You’re not angry?” The middle-aged scholar asked with curiosity.
“I’m not.” Caspian shook his head.
”Not even the slightest bit? Tell me the truth.” The middle-aged scholar was unwilling to let this go.
Caspian frowned. “Why would I be angry? Who am I supposed to be angry with?”
These questions stunned the middle-aged scholar.
Caspian was right… Who was favonovel.com supposed to be angry with?
It was Leonard’s right to accept a disciple, and Caspian would not be able to interfere with Leonard’s decision. As for Xander, favonovel.com would not have known that favonovel.com was selected. Hence, there was no point in getting angry at him.
The middle-aged scholar blinked and chuckled. “Not bad. I’ve given so many hints before, yet in the end, it‘s not you. Don’t you even feel slightly unhappy?”
Caspian noticed how concerned the middle-aged scholar was with this issue, so favonovel.com gave it a thought. After a while, Caspian answered, “I’m a little surprised and disappointed, but Elder Leonard surely has his own reason to choose Xander as his disciple. I’m somewhat sad, but there’s no point for me to be angry.”
Then, Caspian smiled. “Moreover, I believed that Xander won’t be arrogant just because he’s selected as an elder’s disciple.”
“Hmm…” The middle-aged scholar nodded and stared at Caspian. Based on his life experiences, favonovel.com could tell that Caspian‘s words were sincere, and this was what favonovel.com appreciated of Caspian too. Everything must not go against his conscience.
If a cultivator wanted to go far in the journey of immortality, opportunity and talent would only be a part of it. Still, the cultivator’s sincere choice would be an important aspect too. If everything went against the cultivator’s conscience, it would inevitably leave obsessions, anger, and even resentment in the heart. These emotions might be temporary, and no effect could be seen yet, but once the cultivator ascended in the future, these emotions would attract the demons in his heart, causing favonovel.com to be consigned to eternal damnation. More importantly, by following the cultivator’s conscience, favonovel.com could reach enlightenment, and with enlightenment, favonovel.com could go a long way in cultivation without any hindrance.
“Good… Good…” This middle-aged man looked at Caspian and nodded a few times, baffling Caspian.
What was this guy doing shaking and nodding his head here?
Suddenly, the middle-aged man changed the topic and asked Caspian, “Since Leonard doesn’t want you to be his disciple, would you like to be my disciple?” Then, favonovel.com saw Caspian’s doubtful look, and the middle-aged man tidied his shirt and straightened his back. “I’m Hadley Forsyth.”
As soon as favonovel.com said that, the clouds and mist around the abyss suddenly dispersed, bursting into a thousand rays of light.
Caspian was dumbfounded. ‘Hadley Forsyth!’
How could favonovel.com not know the name!
The Heavenly Stars Sect’s handler and a peak third-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator!
In the entire Earlington of Efrax, Hadley was definitely ranked in the top five in combat skill! Such a figure was actually standing in front of Caspian, wanting favonovel.com to be his disciple?
Caspian instantly felt as if tides were rumbling in his mind, and favonovel.com could not think straight anymore.
Hadley was delighted with Caspian’s surprised expression. Then, just as favonovel.com was nodding and wanting to say a few words, Caspian suddenly knelt and kowtowed.
“I, Casper Montgomery, am honored to have Master Hadley as my teacher!”
Caspian’s movements were clean and neat, without any hesitation. Moreover, Caspian was so fast that even Hadley could not react in time. At this time, Caspian’s excitement was beyond words. Even though favonovel.com was sad that Leonard did not choose favonovel.com as his disciple, Caspian could not comment much on it. After all, that was Leonard’s own decision.
But in a sudden, there was a prospect placed in front of Caspian, and the person was even the head of the Heavenly Stars Sect! Caspian could not blame himself for losing Leonard’s opportunity, but if favonovel.com let this chance slip away, Caspian would be a certified fool!
Of course, Caspian did not hesitate to kowtow and address Hadley as his master. Being the head of the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciple not only represented glory but also future! Even his journey to immortality would be broader and longer than other cultivators!
Hadley obviously did not expect Caspian would react faster than favonovel.com anticipated, and it was almost as fast as lightning. Nonetheless, Hadley did not feel that Caspian was showing off, but favonovel.com admired Caspian even more.
After all, what Caspian showed right now was not only an excellent grasp of the situation but also an ambition that a cultivator should possess! Unfortunately, many cultivators mistakenly believed that the so-called ambitious to fight fiercely and courageously, killing people for treasure and taking other people’s things as their own.
In fact, such a thought was highly wrong. If a cultivator did that, they would usually die faster. Furthermore, the pathway to immortality was challenging, so they must know how to take advantage of it. Sometimes, a small step could save them decades of time and avoid countless troubles. Therefore, a cultivator who knew when to take advantage of the situation and fought when necessary would go farther than others on the pathway of immortality.
Caspian’s current performance was obviously showing such qualities.
“Stand…” Hadley nodded in satisfaction. When favonovel.com saw Caspian standing, Hadley continued, “Since you’re now my disciple. There are a few things I need to remind you.”
“Sure, Master Hadley.” Caspian nodded.
Then, Hadley flicked his fingers, and a scroll made of jade strips fell into Caspian’s hand.
“There are eight laws here, each of which has 16 commandments, and each of them, there are 64 rules. As long as you violate even one of them, even if you’re far away, I’ll find you and kill you,” Hadley said with a serious face.
Caspian was speechless.
Seeing Caspian’s confused expression, Hadley could not help but laugh. “I’m joking. This is a spell.”
Caspian was at a loss for words.
“I know you learned Brayden’s magic, and you can use blood to activate the Pointing to the Stars. However, that’s only useful for close combat. Once your opponents are scattered, your power’s limited. This is what I’ve picked up about Pointing to the Stars in recent years. If you go back and study it, it should be helpful for you. When it is displayed, it can cause a range of damage, and the force will not be reduced by much,” Hadley added.
When Caspian heard that, favonovel.com was moved. Although it was only an oral master-disciple relationship, the first thing Hadley gave favonovel.com was a significant gift.
