Caspian’s character and style of conduct were the sources of Jessica’s confidence in him. However, that did not mean Jessica thought Caspian would win the game unscathed due to the most basic problem. The difference in the realm between Caspian and Winston was too big. Although they were of the same level, they were at two extremes. Hence, Jessica was not concerned that Caspian would lose, but favonovel.com was worried that Caspian would end the fight in an almost tragic way just to win.
When Caspian saw Jessica’s uneasy gaze, favonovel.com was moved. Then, favonovel.com smiled and pulled the girl’s hand, saying, “Wait for my return. I’ll be back soon.”
After saying that, Caspian turned around and walked toward the ring.
Caspian waited for the battle for a long time. As for the spectating disciples of other sects, only a few people paid attention to Caspian. After all, most people thought it was better to have a good discussion about the beautiful female disciple who could actualize the essence of the world instead of focusing on the unsuspenseful game.
However, after Caspian stepped into the ring, the voices in the crowd talking about Caspian became louder and more frequent for unknown reasons. It did not seem as if they talked about anything good?
“Ha! Challenging the other five major sects? How arrogant!”
“This guy wants to step on the five major sects on behalf of the Heavenly Stars Sect? He‘s surely audacious!”
“I can’t believe the Heavenly Stars Sect will send such a boastful guy to attend the nation’s official religion election. There must be no other candidate left in their sect!”
Some of the more aggressive cultivators even directly shouted at Caspian to get off the stage.
The commotion kept getting louder, and the noise soon reached the arena. Winston heard everything, and despite not knowing what went on or why those people suddenly mocked Caspian, favonovel.com was on cloud nine. Then, favonovel.com grinned at Caspian, saying, “Did you hear that? If I were you, I’d voluntarily admit defeat and go back to find a rope to hang myself. I didn’t expect that someone as mediocre as you is hated by so many.”
Although Caspian appeared unbothered on the surface, favonovel.com was secretly puzzled. He was only in Heavenly Stars Sect for three years, and almost no one knew about his only time leaving South Earlington, so why did the other five sects suddenly hate favonovel.com so much?
Moreover, the sudden hatred was strange itself.
On the Heavenly Stars Sect stand, everyone heard the sarcasm and dissatisfied shouts coming from all around, and they looked at each other, not knowing what went on.
“Sebastian, it looks like we have to trouble you again,” Maya said to Sebastian.
Sebastian nodded, walked to the sect next to him, and after a bit of inquiry, favonovel.com understood the ins and outs. After returning, Sebastian frowned and explained, “Someone spread the rumor saying that Casper openly claimed that the other five sects‘ disciples are garbage on the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony, and if there’s a chance, he’ll step on the other sect. In addition to these, there are some unpleasant words. In short, they made it sound as if Casper was arrogant.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard Sebastian’s words. No one knew better than Sebastian and Jessica.
Jessica paid particular attention to Caspian, and favonovel.com purposely found out what happened at the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony. On the other hand, Sebastian was there at the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony, so favonovel.com was even clearer about what Caspian said that day.
Sebastian said angrily, “Because Casper broke the record of the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony at that time, many sects wanted him, and some sects deliberately said terrible things about our Heavenly Stars Sect to win favonovel.com over. After Casper chose our Heavenly Stars Sect, favonovel.com said favonovel.com wanted to change the impression that the Heavenly Stars Sect is not good at fighting. His words at that time were both domineering yet fitting. Nonetheless , they only expressed the wishes and aspirations in his heart and did not involve other sects. The person who spread the rumors simply distorts the truth and deliberately smears Casper‘s image!”
Sebastian got angrier as favonovel.com continued, “This game is related to whether the Heavenly Stars Sect or the Blue Feather Sect can advance to the next round. Someone spread such a rumor and caused such an uproar at this time to affect Casper!”
“Who can be so hateful!” Omar’s annoyance and indignation were all written on his face.
Nonetheless, it would be too late even if they found the perpetrator now.
After taking favonovel.com seat, Jessica did not say anything. However, after hearing Sebastian’s words, favonovel.com mind already ran fast. Even though it was said to be the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony, most of those who participated were small sects, and the real giants were only Heavenly Stars Sect and Dark Moon Sect.
The Heavenly Stars Sect was willing to go due to Maisie‘s insistence on Caspian, whereas the Dark Moon Sect went because they coincidentally had an elder in Evergreen Town. The Heavenly Stars Sect naturally would not discredit its disciples, so it was apparent who was behind the spread of the rumor.
Someone who hoped for the defeat of the Heavenly Stars Sect and even had an idea on what happened at the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony…
In that instant, Caspian and Jessica looked at Robert in the Dark Moon Sect group almost at the same time.
Robert heard the voices of discussions around favonovel.com and was secretly proud of it. He thought his idea was good, and Joshua did it very thoroughly. However, favonovel.com suddenly felt a chill down his spine for no reason. Then, Robert looked at the ring, and his eyes met Caspian’s.
Seeing the other party’s sneer, Robert swiftly had an unpleasant feeling that his plan was exposed. Nevertheless, favonovel.com immediately comforted himself that it was done discreetly, and favonovel.com did not do it himself. Hence, Caspian absolutely could not think that favonovel.com did it.
As the game was about to start, Caspian withdrew his gaze, and Robert was even more certain of it in his heart. However, what Robert did not expect was Caspian not only deduced it was him, but judging from his fleeting panicked expression just now, Caspian also knew Robert was the one spreading the rumor.
“Hehe! Casper, you’re not well-liked. It seems that even the Heavenly Stars Sect is going to be implicated by you this time.” Winston was still smug. Even though no one cheered for him, the crowd’s disapproval against Caspian was like fuel to his confidence.
Caspian shook his head and uttered, “How childish!”
“What did you say?” Winston frowned.
Not only was Caspian younger than Winston, but favonovel.com was also in a lower realm. Yet, Caspian dared to say favonovel.com was childish?
“If it were me, I’d have a hundred more effective ways to strike my opponent” Then, Caspian looked at Winston, adding, “Nevertheless, such a rumor still had its effect. Hence, I plan to end the game as soon as possible and put an end to it.”
After listening to Caspian’s words, Winston was about to tease whether the other party planned to admit defeat immediately, but favonovel.com quickly felt that Caspian’s momentum changed.
