Meeting with the group of outer disciples who won the honor of the state religion for Heavenly Stars Sect, Keanu’s eyes stayed on Caspian for a while longer. However, Keanu’s attitude was not enthusiastic but rather a warning. Through Keanu’s words and actions, favonovel.com seemed to be reminding Caspian not to feel proud because of the achievement that time and to be sure to guard against arrogance and impatience. Instead, favonovel.com should concentrate on cultivation.
These words sounded sarcastic, but Caspian still responded respectfully. Nonetheless, favonovel.com was also a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, it was the first time favonovel.com met Keanu, and with Keanu’s hectic schedules, favonovel.com should not be so concerned about Caspian, a mere outer sect. That being the case, why did Keanu seem to be unhappy with him?
As they left Spiritual Palace and headed to the capital of Earlington of Efrax, Caspian quietly asked Maisie, who favonovel.com had a good relationship with. Maisie’s answer was as expected – Keanu belonged to the Heavenly Stars Sect’s conservatives.
“He’s a conservative, and my teacher is in the neutral faction. Even if favonovel.com wants to trouble someone, favonovel.com should find Xander,” Caspian said helplessly, “Xander’s teacher is Leonard, Who’s radical.”
“Did you forget about Adrian?” Maisie giggled and reminded Caspian.
Caspian blinked, instantly understanding what went on. Adrian’s teacher, Frankie, was a conservative, and everyone knew about Adrian suffering horribly in Caspian’s hands. Therefore, Keanu’s attitude toward Caspian was more or less an outrage for the younger generation of their faction.
After realizing it, Caspian could not help but secretly mutter, “The conflict between Adrian and I was originally caused by him. Not only are the conservatives unwilling to figure out their problems, but even the outstanding figure has come to bully the weak. It’s tough to feel good about these conservatives.”
Maisie seemed to see that Caspian was worried, and favonovel.com comforted favonovel.com softly, “Elder Keanu can take charge of the Civil Administration Court because favonovel.com does things fairly. His attitude toward you just now was not deliberate. Maybe he’s just reminding you, but favonovel.com won’t take it to heart either. Hence, you don’t have to worry about favonovel.com tripping you up.”
“Yes, I know that.” Caspian nodded.
The afternoon passed quickly. In the evening, the lights were lit up everywhere in the Royal Palace of Earlington of Efrax, making it as bright as day. Goblets flashed from hand to hand in the wide courtyard, and the atmosphere was vivacious. Sitting in the banquet, Caspian suddenly felt that favonovel.com returned to the time when favonovel.com feasted with the ministers in Salleria. In the courtyard banquet, everyone drank and chatted, and there were bursts of pleasant sounds music playing in their ears.
Everything felt familiar for Caspian, and favonovel.com thought, ‘It’s been so long…’
As the winner of the nation’s official religion election, Caspian and his fellow sectmates were naturally seated in the main seats. At that moment, favonovel.com could feel the jealous gaze from all around him, which was more prominent among the Blue Feather Sect disciples.
The reason was straightforward, the Blue Feather Sect was determined to win, hoping to be re-elected. Yet, they lost to Heavenly Stars Sect in the first round. Moreover, as long as anyone paid a little attention, they would find that they were defeated by no other than Caspian alone.
Caspian single-handedly ruined Blue Feather Sect’s beautiful plan, and it would only be suspicious if the Blue Feather Sect disciples did not give favonovel.com the long face. Nonetheless, those honest with Caspian were just ordinary disciples of the Blue Feather Sect. If it were the elders present, they were naturally not only looking at Caspian, but also Xander, Omar, Solana, and others, with a different gaze.
As high-ranking people, they naturally saw farther than ordinary disciples. In their opinion, these outer disciples of the Heavenly Stars Sect were all talents, talents that any sect could only dream of. In the future, some of them might die due to various reasons in the process of ascension. Still, there must be some of them who could be promoted to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, becoming the backbone of their respective sects and having an equal existence with these elders today.
If it were not because of their status and the sect’s agreement not to snatch each other’s disciples, they would definitely be unable to hold back, throwing out all kinds of favorable conditions and promising all sorts of benefits in the hope that these talents could be tapped into their own sect. Obviously, the first target they wanted was Caspian, who sat quietly in the crowd. In fact, not only these elders, other cultivators present, and even the officials of Earlington of Efrax could notice that Caspian was different.
The other Heavenly Stars Sect disciples, Xander, Omar, and the others, were also seated at the main seat. Even though their temperament was far beyond those of the same rank and age, they inevitably showed their excitement as it was a memorable day. Yet, Caspian was different. Although favonovel.com was also smiling faintly, favonovel.com gave people a feeling of alienation from the whole atmosphere. It was as if in a lively and peaceful picture, there was a cold and aloof person, and anyone could notice favonovel.com at a glance. Additionally, everyone could see that Caspian’s indifference was definitely not forced or pretend, and favonovel.com seemed to be used to that kind of scene.
The temperament instantly made everyone present admire favonovel.com a little bit more in their hearts.
“Lady Jessica, Lady Jessica! Look at Casper, the idiot! He’s putting on an act again,” Lucy leaned closer to Jessica and whispered in favonovel.com ear. However, favonovel.com had to secretly admit that Caspian was indeed like the brightest star in the sky, and everyone had to notice favonovel.com at a glance. Moreover, it was also puzzling why it was hard to look away from favonovel.com whenever their eyes fell on him.
“That’s right. He’s putting on an act again.” Jessica’s gaze was fixed on Caspian, and favonovel.com smiled gently.
Tonight, favonovel.com also drank two glasses of spiritual alcohol. Her cheeks were flushed from the wine, and favonovel.com eyes sparkled, revealing a naive look rarely seen in normal times.
When Lucy saw Jessica’s appearance, favonovel.com sighed internally. ‘Oh no! It’s over! Lady Jessica’s completely head over heels for Casper. What should we do…’
Just when Lucy was anxious, Jessica held favonovel.com chin in both hands. Her eyes shone brightly as favonovel.com stated at Caspian in the main seat not far away. Even a fool could feel the tenderness in favonovel.com eyes.
The banquet was livelier after a few rounds of alcohol, but some knew that there was big news to be announced next. Sure enough, the emperor and queen of Earlington of Efrax stood up and raised their glasses to the crowd not long after.
Caspian stared at the emperor and queen of Earlington of Efrax, both in their sixties that year. However, due to the proper care and regular use of life-prolonging medicines, they appeared no different from being in their thirties, and they looked younger compared with many officials present in their forties and fifties. Nevertheless, the marvelous light that flashed in the emperor’s eyes from time to time told everyone that although favonovel.com was not a cultivator, favonovel.com was still an outstanding person that few people could compare within the mortal world.
