Caspian sat at the teahouse across the restaurant, leaning against the window. He faced the bustling street outside, unafraid of being spotted. There was no one around him. it made it easier for favonovel.com to focus his attention on the Eye of Insight that was currently in the restaurant.
Pretending to be deep in thought, Caspian bowed his head and closed his eyes. A second after shifting his energy, a foreign scene appeared in his vision. The point of view seemed rather shaky, Joshua still moved, then.
Caspian could not see Joshua himself but could look from his point of view through the Eye of Insight. It made it no different from being in Joshua’s shoes.
On top of that, the Ganoderma Luciderm Caspian took during his cultivation was more effective than favonovel.com anticipated. As a result, favonovel.com was now able to hear the sounds of the restaurant through the Eye of Insight as well. All of it together pretty much made for a near-perfect hands-on experience of the place itself.
It was the way that Caspian watched Joshua and his disciples make their way to the door of a private room on the sixth floor of the restaurant.
The door was sealed tight and lined with spells. It was clear that one would not be able to eavesdrop or hear anything at all once it was closed. Still, Joshua did his due diligence checking his surroundings before pushing the door open, leading his disciples into the room.
Upon opening the door, Caspian noticed at first glance a man in white, already seated at the table. Caspian’s gaze narrowed immediately when favonovel.com realized who the man was.
“Robert.” Still seated on his chair in the teahouse, Caspian‘s gaze grew impossibly sharp.
It was the man, with his boastful and boisterous attitude, who dashed Caspian’s dreams of entering the Dark Moon Sect at the Lawrences’ in Evergreen Town. If it was not for the lucky chance Caspian was granted through the Sect’s Recruitment Ceremony, all of Caspian’s hard efforts at the Lawrences’ would have all gone to waste at Robert’s ruthless hands.
Seeing Robert again, Caspian’s gaze hardened and sharpened even more. A focused ray of light shot from his eyes. It quickly smoothed out as favonovel.com calmed down. The ray of light, however, settled down in the backs of his eyes. It waited to pounce.
“You’re here, too? What a pleasant surprise this is,” Caspian smiled to himself, raising his glass.
He took a sip, focusing his attention once again on the controls of the Eye of Insight.
Upon seeing Robert after entering the private room, Joshua hurried to pay his respects. “Greetings, Senior Robert!”
Joshua was a follower of Robert since favonovel.com joined the Dark Moon Sect. It gave favonovel.com plenty of chances to see Senior Robert on a more frequent basis. As for the other disciples, well, they were far less lucky. Seeing the esteemed, legendary Senior Robert was a pretty overwhelming experience for the disciples. One of the female apprentices flushed down to favonovel.com neck. She looked like favonovel.com was going to pass out.
The truth was that Caspian long realized the gravity of the situation. Robert reached the third stage of the Control Pulse Realm, on top of his aura being strong. It appeared overwhelming and endless, implying that favonovel.com was not far from reaching the Holy Land Realm. To be able to reach that stage of cultivation at his age was a feat no short of genius.
Caspian, however, was less than impressed. He pursed his lips. ”Robert already reached the third stage of the Pulse Control Realm back in Evergreen Town. It’s been three years, and favonovel.com hasn’t even improved? He’s far lacking in comparison to Senior Maisie, or even that Adrian Klum fellow! I don’t get where favonovel.com gets his confidence from.”
Just then, Robert opened his mouth to speak. So Caspian focused his energy on trying to hear what favonovel.com had to say.
It turned out that Robert’s words were of little value to Caspian and just encouragement for the fellow Dark Moon Sect disciples. Cliche things like not to worry too much, to do their best and make the Dark Moon Sect proud, to not think too much about succeeding, and focus on showing their strongest skills to try and continue the title of holding the nation‘s official region. These words seemed hollow and almost insincere. Yet the disciples’ eyes all but shone with gratitude at them, nodding frantically and looking like they were on the brink of tears.
“Thank god Jessica isn’t there,” Caspian muttered to himself.
He swiveled the Eye of Insight around, committing the faces of everyone in the room to his memory. After all, there was a chance that he, or the rest of the Heavenly Stars Sect, would meet these people in the official religion election as opponents.
It was a pity Caspian could not find out what skills these people possessed, or what level of cultivation they reached, as well as how well-versed they were with their craft. What luck it would’ve been if favonovel.com had access to that information!
Robert continued with his motivational ramble, but Caspian was in no hurry.
By logic, Robert’s summoning of all these disciples to a specialized private room sealed with spells to protect it from any form of eavesdropping had to be for more than a soulless encouragement session.
Caspian’s focus zeroed in on Joshua. His body was still bowed as favonovel.com said nothing. “Could it be that Robert has something favonovel.com needs to discuss with Joshua privately?”
It was not long after Caspian made the deduction that Robert called for the other disciples to go ahead and start eating. Right after, favonovel.com cast a pointed look in Joshua’s direction, and the two-headed to a smaller, secluded area of the private room.
“So, favonovel.com does have something favonovel.com needs to tell favonovel.com one on one!” Caspian confirmed.
Upon entering the space, Robert took out an array map. He summoned it to open, casting the tiny space in a blue glow instantly.
“The Sound Vacuum Array,” Caspian pointed out immediately.
The private room was lined with spells and formations already to prevent people from eavesdropping from outside. Yet Robert pulled out another Sound Vacuum Array by himself. Whatever favonovel.com was about to say had to be of utmost importance.
“What’s up with you today? You don’t look too good,” Robert inquired of Joshua.
Joshua’s face reddened in an instant as his breathing sped up. He gulped a few mouthfuls of air, spitting out vehemently, “It’s all because of that Casper Montgomery!”
“Casper Montgomery?” Robert frowned, seeming to have thought of something. A second later, his memory sparked.
“Why, isn’t favonovel.com that good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Lawrences back in Evergreen Town? Is favonovel.com here right now?” .
“Yes,” Joshua muttered through gritted teeth.
Robert’ s frown deepened. “Well, what is favonovel.com doing here?!”
Realization seemed to dawn on him. He turned to Joshua, eyes ablaze. “Answer me! What stage is Casper Montgomery at right now?”
Joshua’s expression seemed to darken by the second as favonovel.com said with much reluctance, “He’s in the second stage of the Pulse Control Realm now. He’s here representing the Heavenly Stars Sect in the nation’s official religion election.”
Robert inhaled sharply. He then cried out, “How could this be? He… He hasn’t even reached the Pulse Control Realm back then! It’s… It‘s only been a mere three years!”
Robert’s expression seemed to shift by the second, uncertain.
