Chapter 906: Chapter 49 Wronged Dummy_2
Chapter 906 -49 Wronged Dummy_2
The so-called true master,” as the Ancestor Heavenly Master had mentioned, was the one that came from the source of the Long River of Time in another universe, passed between the two beams of light of the Immortal God Civilization Universe, and whose destination was unknown.
As a reincarnation of a Saint, Lotson could learn many secrets and participate in many affairs.
But he was not yet a Saint, and there were certain matters in which he could not intervene too much.
If there were any special secrets he wanted to understand, he had to take the initiative to ask.
Like now.
The Ancestor Heavenly Master smiled yet remained silent.
All was understood without words, and Lotson got the message.
It seemed that both the Celestial Court and the Supreme Council had confirmed that the beam of light surrounding Celestial Lord Michelle was indeed the one that had originally disappeared, also the one that the Wizard World Will had directed Lotson to find.
Moreover, through this affair, Lotson understood that either the Celestial Court or the Supreme Council, or perhaps both, already had control of that beam of light.
At the very least, they had mastered a method to control that beam of light.
“Right, I have a question I’d like to ask you, and if it’s inconvenient, you do not need to answer,”
After the laughter, the Ancestor Heavenly Master suddenly inquired, changing the subject.
“Go ahead. According to what you’ve said, there is nothing that can’t be discussed, nothing inconvenient or otherwise,”
Lotson gave a wry smile, his attitude very friendly and not at all as aggressive as before.
“Shall I ask then?”
The Ancestor Heavenly Master still sought confirmation.
Some words can be said casually by the speaker, but the listener can’t always take them seriously.
Who knows whether they are wholehearted or merely a formality?
If someone regards a courtesy as an earnest statement, and it leads to an awkward situation, whose fault is that?
It would be the fault of the person who cannot read the room and doesn’t understand how the world works.
Indeed, the Ancestor Heavenly Master didn’t pay special attention to this point. It was more that many habits, such as humility and respect, had become ingrained in him.
These qualities manifested naturally in his daily life, in the way he conducted himself and in his interactions with others.
If the demeanor displayed by the Ancestor Heavenly Master was characteristic of the typical internalized personality of the Immortal God Civilization, then Lotson showed the typical extroverted character of the Wizard Civilization.
Therefore, in response to the Ancestor Heavenly Master’s request for confirmation, Lotson casually nodded, “Ask away.”
The Ancestor Heavenly Master set down his teacup, adjusted his posture, locked eyes properly with Lotson, and asked seriously, “I want to know, if Link Grande faced a life-threatening danger, would you help him?”
Without much thought, Lotson almost immediately opened his mouth to respond.
“No rush, no rush,”
As if he had anticipated Lotson’s reaction, the Ancestor Heavenly Master cut in before Lotson could speak, raising his right palm gently and softly telling him, “Think it over carefully, do not hurry to answer my question.”
“Is there really need to think it over?”
Lotson’s brow furrowed slightly, puzzled by the meaning of the Ancestor Heavenly Master’s words.
That was quite interesting.
In terms of status and experience, strictly speaking, Lotson and the Ancestor Heavenly Master belonged to the same generation.
Their wisdom, methods, and schemes should be on par with one another.
It doesn’t make sense that Lotson could not understand something that the Ancestor Heavenly Master alluded to so obliquely.
Unless…
The Ancestor Heavenly Master gave a slight smile, did not answer, and merely looked at Lotson quietly but very earnestly, just as before.
“You…”
Lotson sighed deeply, appearing somewhat helpless.
After the sigh, Lotson dropped the pretense and honestly replied, “If that so-called big brother of mine encounters a life-threatening danger that does not come from the Supreme Council, I would certainly help him without a moment’s hesitation. If it comes from the Supreme Council, even if I wanted to help, I would need to weigh my actions carefully.”
As he spoke, a glint of sharpness flashed in Lotson’s eyes as he abruptly counterquestioned, “Speaking of which, you and Mr. Xu Jing have been emphasizing that neither the Celestial Court nor the Heavenly Master’s Mansion have ever intended to persecute or scheme against my so-called big brother. So then, Ancestor Heavenly Master, if my so-called big brother encounters a danger from the Supreme Council, what would you and the Heavenly Master’s Mansion do?”
“We won’t do anything,”
Without any hesitation, the Ancestor Heavenly Master replied firmly and with utter conviction.
What was crucial was that, although the Ancestor Heavenly Master’s answer did not surprise Lotson, there was not a hint of sentimentality in it.
What happened to the special consideration, the assurances of never intending to harm or scheme?
Could it be that everything was just talk, and there was no action at all?
The skepticism in Lotson’s eyes seemed to voice all the doubts in his heart.
Ancestor Heavenly Master understood the meaning behind Lotson’s gaze and thus understood these questions.
However, the Ancestor Heavenly Master didn’t answer any of them, instead repeatedly urging Lotson to drink tea and to wait a bit longer, to observe a bit more.
While Lotson was sipping tea, chatting, waiting, and observing with the Ancestor Heavenly Master, Link had already piloted the Starship back to the forward base that the Supreme Council had set up near the intersection of the two universal passages.
This Starship belonged to Lotson, who was the reincarnation of a Saint.
The process of entering the forward base went very smoothly.
Arriving at the stronghold established by Elise Clark at Ravensmouth College also met no resistance whatsoever.
Stepping off the Starship, Link saw Elise Clark coming to greet him immediately.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
“Link.”
Elise waved her arm from afar and came running towards him with long strides.
If it weren’t for the fact that Link was married, given Elise’s current enthusiasm, she might have thrown herself at him, leaping straight into his embrace.
“Elise.”
Link responded, yet his gaze fell upon Elise’s chest.
There, it was shriveled and stained with blood, devoid of her usual righteous and formidable bearing.
“What happened?”
Link’s face darkened immediately.
Cody seriously injured, Palo unconscious, Serene’s face disfigured, the Four Sects Legions suffering over forty percent casualties, Ravensmouth College Advance Team completely crippled, every action constrained—Link harbored a vast and smoldering rage within his heart.
Elise’s injury was like a spark falling into a powder keg, setting off that accumulated rage into an explosion.
“It’s nothing, just had a fight. Didn’t lose but didn’t win either,”
Elise said nonchalantly, waving her hand dismissively as if it was not a big deal, “It’s okay, it will heal in a few days. This is pretty common.”
Link fell silent upon hearing this.
A simple sentence was actually able to explain a lot.
For instance, it revealed that the Tomorrow Court and the Heavenly Master’s Mansion did not truly value Elise Clark much.
It also revealed that Elise Clark’s rapid promotion from a Fourth Level Sage to a Level Five Sage was not a “gift” from the Supreme Council or the Celestial Court, but rather something she had fought hard for, earning it through sweat and blood.
Opportunity favors only the prepared mind.
What’s more, when the Revosorath Academy Advance Team encountered an assault, all of Ravensmouth College’s outposts and facilities in the Parallel Universe suffered similarly.
Yet, Link didn’t believe Elise’s injury had anything to do with the Tower of the Great Sage Mitchell.
The Supreme Council might turn a blind eye to the entire destruction of the Ravensmouth College Advance Team, but they would never sit by and watch Elise Clark die at the hands of “one of their own.”
This was not only a matter of principle but also a fundamental line that mustn’t be crossed to maintain unity.
Taking a deep breath, Link spoke seriously, “Elise, if you still consider me a friend, then tell me.”
Elise shook her head, touched by his sincerity but still chose not to disclose.
Seeing this, Link gave up on questioning further and decided to find another way to uncover the full story.
Once he had the full picture, everything would be up for discussion.
Considering the number of blood feuds already incurred, one more wouldn’t make much difference.
“By the way, Link, you’re rushing back so suddenly, is there an emergency?”
At this moment, Elise changed the subject, speaking with a heavy tone, “Using the passage these days is going to be quite troublesome.”
“Indeed, there’s something, not urgent, but very important,”
Link gave a vague response as it wasn’t convenient to discuss in detail and then added, “No worries, no matter how troublesome, that’s not my problem.”
After dropping that comment, Link took out his communicator, sent a message to someone he had saved the contact for but never reached out to before, and then calmly waited for a response.
While waiting, he casually chatted with Elise.
When Mr. Xu Jing received the message from Link, he was full of question marks.
You want to go back, so why are you contacting me?
