The old elder did not directly answer Caspian’s question but replied, “About twenty years ago, an apprentice was promoted to an outer disciple. When I gave favonovel.com a routine check, favonovel.com scolded me. When it was time to choose his residence, favonovel.com even said, ‘Old man, if you dare to pick me a place that’s not full of spiritual Qi, I’ll break your leg!’.”
“This disciple’s too rude!” Caspian frowned, then favonovel.com looked at the old elder, “What happened next?”
“What happened next?” the old elder grinned, “Not only did I choose an area for favonovel.com that was devoid of spiritual Qi, but there were also monsters living there. Let alone cultivating with peace of mind, it would be difficult for favonovel.com to rest peacefully.”
“Did favonovel.com come to see you?” Seeing the old elder smiling happily, Caspian could not help but burst into laughter.
The old man was simply too fascinating.
“Him? Does favonovel.com dare? He’s just an empty can!” the old elder smiled, but a serious look flashed in his eyes, “The Heavenly Stars Sect selects disciples not only based on talent but also their nature. If such a disciple was not tempered, wouldn’t favonovel.com be a shame for my Heavenly Stars Sect in the future?”
“I’m afraid that not only will favonovel.com not be able to understand your good intentions, but he’ll hold grudges in his heart,” Caspian said.
“It’s pointless to nurture the fools. If favonovel.com thinks so, I can’t save him.” The old elder shook his head. Then, favonovel.com pointed to the foot of the mountain favonovel.com just chose for Caspian, “Do you see the rock?”
“Yes.” Caspian nodded.
The rock was tall and sharp, like a thorn stabbing on the ground and pointing to the sky.
The old deacon explained, “There used to be a spiritual spring, which dried up completely about five years ago. The spring water gushed from the bottom of the rock to form a spiritual spring with a radius of about two acres. Among all the places the outer disciples once lived, the area had the strongest spiritual Qi. Even though the spiritual spring is now dry, the earth and surrounding vegetation that have been nourished by the spiritual spring can still emit a spiritual Qi that far exceeds that of other areas. Compared to the other places where the outer disciples lived, it’s not an exaggeration to say the rock is a small paradise. Moreover, Leonard once used the spring water in the spiritual spring to train his swordsmanship, so that spiritual Spring’s also named the Spring of the Sword Spirit!”
Swoosh!
Caspian’s pupils shrunk suddenly. Leonard was second only to the elder in charge of the Heavenly Stars Sect, Hadley. Moreover, the sword favonovel.com trained with was naturally the treasure of the Heavenly Stars Sect, the Sound of Heavenly Stars Sword!
Whether Leonard or the Sound of Heavenly Stars Sword, these two names were well-known in Earlington of Efrax.
Since the spiritual spring was related to those two names, Caspian instantly understood the old elder did not fool him. The area around the rock was a paradise! Nonetheless, Caspian quickly recovered from his excitement. He wondered why the other party introduced that place to favonovel.com when they did not seem to know each other? Furthermore, when the other party heard Caspian’s name before, his reaction seemed unusual.
The old elder did not appear to notice Caspian’s reaction, and favonovel.com flicked his finger on the light curtain a few times. “I’ll make the decision and choose this place for you, and it won’t be long before you feel the benefits this area will provide you.”
“Alright. Thank you for the help, Elder,” Caspian nodded, “But I…”
Before Caspian even finished his words, the old elder suddenly extended his hand and interrupted him. Then, the old elder looked deeply at Caspian. After a while, favonovel.com uttered softly, “Wesley Young was my only son.”
Boom!
Blood rushed into his brain, and Caspian understood in an instant. The old elder in front of favonovel.com was Wesley’s father!
When the old elder saw Caspian’s surprise appearance, favonovel.com chuckled and said, “Thank you.”
Naturally, favonovel.com thanked Caspian for not only bringing Wesley’s jade identification badge back to the Heavenly Stars Sect and hanging it on the Tree of the Sea of Stars but also for inheriting Wesley’s legacy. The latter was what the old elder valued most.
The hall instantly quietened, and the flow of time seemed to slow down. Then, after a long time, the old elder smiled and continued, “I almost forgot to tell you something else. Several apprentices have been promoted to outer disciples in the past two months. When they were promoted, they all asked the same question. Guess what it was?”
“Please enlighten me, Elder,” knowing that the old elder was Wesley’s father, Caspian respected the man even more.
The old elder chuckled. “They all asked me if Casper Montgomery was promoted?”
“Sure enough, it’s them!” In an instant, a warm current surged in Caspian’s heart. He guessed before that the recently promoted disciples mentioned by the old elders were his friends. Now that it was confirmed, Caspian felt happier than when favonovel.com had a smooth ascension after knowing that everyone was promoted together.
The old elder continued, “Let me think… Those people are Xander Faris, Omar Pine, Maya Kaye, Benedict Hopkins… Hmm… And two little girls that left quite an impression. I believe one is called Solana Gibson, and favonovel.com doesn’t say much. After seeing me, favonovel.com only asked me one question… Did Casper Montgomery come here? There’s another one named Renee Pine. Yes… I know that she’s Master Dakota’s disciple. When I told favonovel.com I didn’t see you, favonovel.com smiled smugly with favonovel.com hands on favonovel.com hips and muttered to herself that she’s going to crush you this time…”
When favonovel.com said that, the old elder looked at Caspian in confusion. “Is there a conflict between the two of you?”
Caspian smiled and shook his head. “Maybe favonovel.com needs another beating.”
So many of his good friends were promoted, so Caspian decided to forgive the nonsense little girl. However, Caspian would still have to remind favonovel.com not to talk like that if favonovel.com had the chance next time as Dakota and Maisie might misunderstand. If that happened, how would Caspian face them in the future?
Since Caspian did not go into details, the old elder naturally did not ask more. Then, a delighted look appeared in his eyes. “It has been more than ten years that no apprentices have been promoted to the outer disciples in the Heavenly Stars Sect, but this time there are so many. It’s a joyous event.”
The old elder was still sighing, but Caspian‘s emotions could no longer be suppressed. They did not see each other for more than half a year, and favonovel.com missed his friends very much.
Seeing Caspian’s expression, the old elder already guessed what favonovel.com thought and smiled as favonovel.com shook his hand. “Go back quickly! You can go back and live in about six hours.”
“Then, I’ll go first. Thank you, Elder.” Caspian bowed and turned to leave.
“Oh, that’s right.”
The old elder’s voice suddenly came from behind. Caspian thought favonovel.com still had something to say, so favonovel.com turned around quickly.
There was a look of disappointment in the old elder’s eyes, but favonovel.com was still smiling. “If you have time in the future, come and visit this old man.”
Caspian saw a hint of loneliness the old elder’s figure never showed before. Then, Caspian thought about Wesley, and favonovel.com felt his eyes turning warm as favonovel.com nodded hard.
“Sure! I’ll surely visit you often.”
