With Jessica being the Dark Moon Sect’s disciple and Caspian, the future son-in-law, being a Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciple, Evergreen Town’s Lawrence family’s status has skyrocketed in just one year, and they now ranked in the top three in the town.
As for the Pullman family, the White family, and the Ford family that were originally ranked in the top three, only the Pullman family could overwhelm the Lawrence family due to their family heritage.
From a certain point of view, the White family and the Ford family would have to do as the Lawrence family wished. With the improvement of the family status, the head of the Lawrence family, James, also walked proudly in Evergreen Town, and favonovel.com was also an intimidating figure in town. The members of the Lawrence family were also very proud of this. When walking in the town, they could not help but walk with their heads high, and their confidence was unparalleled.
However, the Lawrence family mansion had a strange atmosphere today, and the reason was straightforward, the Lawrence family’s son-in-law, Caspian, had returned. From the standpoint of his identity, Caspian was also a member of the Lawrence family, and they had also relied on Caspian’s fame to rise in the past year. Hence, logically, the Lawrence family would warmly welcome Caspian’s return. Moreover, it was not only the entire family receiving him, but it must be made so lively that the entire Evergreen Town knew that their Lawrence family’s sect disciple had returned!
Nevertheless, the Lawrence family did not do so. At this time, the Lawrence family mansion was even quieter than before, as if someone had deliberately suppressed the news.
Caspian sat at the Lawrence family’s drawing room. Today, favonovel.com was no longer the son-in-law ignored by everyone when favonovel.com first came, but the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciple who broke the record of the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony. Not only that, Caspian was also a peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator!
His realm had surpassed James’, and favonovel.com did this in less than a year!
Caspian sat on the main seat in the drawing room, accompanied by James and George. However, James and George appeared awkward and uncomfortable, rather than full of enthusiasm as they were ashamed.
When Caspian first came to the Lawrence family and showed his cultivation talent, they naturally felt that they found a treasure, hoping to train Caspian into a member of the Lawrence family. However, Caspian’s meridians were damaged in the Evergreen Town’s competition, and all the outsiders thought favonovel.com would never improve anymore.
Despite Jessica‘s pleas, the Lawrence family made the same choice as the Dark Moon Sect, abandon Caspian. A person with no cultivation talent was no longer worthy of the Lawrence family and Jessica, who was a sect disciple. Hence, James even had the idea to make Caspian leave the Lawrence family. Nevertheless, who would have expected Caspian to have such a tremendous change. After Caspian entered Heavenly Stars Sect, the Lawrence family also learned about Caspian’s cultivation journey through their special channel.
The news of Caspian’s win in the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition, the killing of the South Earlington’s top ten bandits, blocking the tide of monsters at Mirefield Gate alone, all reached the Lawrence family. However, they did not feel proud but fear. They were worried that Caspian resented the Lawrence family’s decision at the time, and favonovel.com might even retaliate. After all, Caspian was a cultivator that only spent ten months to reach the peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm from entry-level, and favonovel.com was definitely not someone the Lawrence family could stop.
Even though using Jessica’s name could let Caspian be wary, favonovel.com was still far in the Dark Moon Sect. Hence, Jessica might be able to protect the Lawrence family now, but favonovel.com could not do so forever. If Caspian really retaliated, even if Jessica rushed back despite the sect’s obstruction, everyone in the Lawrence family would have been long dead. Thus, the Lawrence family members had a complicated feeling about Caspian.
They hoped that Caspian would be stronger, and the Lawrence family could “borrow” his reputation to improve their status. At the same time, they were afraid that Caspian might be so powerful that the Lawrence family could not stop him.
The Lawrence family members had lived in this dilemma for the past ten months. Even though they were afraid of Caspian, favonovel.com was still far in South Earlington’s Heavenly Stars Sect, and favonovel.com would not return so easily. Hence, in the beginning, the Lawrence family did not mind much about it, but there were some times when they would feel a chill running down their spines at midnight. However, Caspian suddenly returned without any notification, catching everyone off guard.
When James and George heard the news, they hurriedly rushed out and saw the fear and panic in each other’s eyes.
Caspian was supposed to be cultivating in Heavenly Stars Sect, so why did favonovel.com appear here so suddenly?
This question was like a sword hanging over their heads, making James and George restless. They wanted to ask, but they did not dare. Soon, the drawing room was filled with extremely uncomfortable oppression.
Finally, Caspian was the first to speak, “You’re worried that I have resentment because of the previous matters, and I’ll hurt the Lawrence family?”
They did not expect Caspian to stab on their sore spot directly, and favonovel.com was actually so straightforward about it without even beating around the bushes. At this time, James and George’s faces were filled with embarrassment.
Adding James and George’s ages, they were at least six times older than Caspian. Yet, they were flushed and flustered, as if they were children who made mistakes in front of their elders.
“We… We don’t… Casper, you’re overthinking…” James stuttered, but favonovel.com knew that explaining it would only make things worse. Moreover, James felt his scalp was tingling, and favonovel.com did not dare to look at Caspian directly, hoping that favonovel.com could dig a hole and hide.
“No need to explain much as your thoughts are written on your faces.” Caspian waved his hand.
Caspian was indeed disheartened by the Lawrence family’s attitude back then, but favonovel.com did not bear any resentment for them until favonovel.com wanted to kill them all. After all, if it were not for the Lawrence family, Caspian would not have had the opportunity to enter the pathway of immortality. Besides, the Lawrence family only made the wrong choice at that time, and any clans would make the wrong decision, but unfortunately, this choice fell on Caspian.
When James and George heard Caspian, they felt even worse. In Evergreen Town, they were considered influential figures and had experienced many incidents, so they had long thought they were good at concealing their emotions. Yet, in front of Caspian, the junior, they were immediately seen through.
“You only made a choice you felt was right at the time. It’s a pity that that choice was wrong, but no one would anticipate the result before anything happened, so you don’t need to blame yourself or worry as I don‘t hate you. However, your kindness for taking me in back then will break even with this matter,” Caspian said lightly.
Hearing these words, James and George’s hearts sank.
