Chapter 2279 Meeting Herbert Again


    A young man stood along the road of the Oracle Sect.


    Based on his appearance, he was surely about twenty years old.


    Strutting slowly with his chin up, he gazed up at the sky.


    His demeanor and stance made him look like a big shot.


    Many disciples of the Oracle Sect caught sight of him. They couldn''t help but snort a chuckle.


    When the male disciples approached the young man, they greeted him respectfully.


    The young man cleared his throat with a smirk.


    "How are you doing?


    Remember, don''t ck off. You should work hard to improve yourself. Otherwise, I will ask Godwin to


    punish you," the young man said proudly with his hands sped on his back.


    He was obviously enjoying how the disciples treated him.


    The female disciples greeted the young man and took their leave immediately.


    As the young man kept walking, he ran into a female disciple. He intended to chat with her, but she,


    too, hurriedly fled.


    "Hey, Da, wait up! Last time I asked you out to have a date, but you stood me up.


    Why didn''t you show up? That''s so rude,"


    he said with a sigh as he watched her retreating figure.


    Soon, the young man met another female disciple.


    "Ahem! Are you avable, ire? I want to invite you to talk about cultivation. I''ll wait for you under the


    third willow tree on the square.


    I''ve been practicing a unique sword skill recently. I got it from Tin. Do you know him? He is Commander


    Austin.


    If you are interested in this skill, meet me there tonight,"


    he confidently said to the girl.


    "Herbert, don''t think I''ll be fooled by you.


    Our sect leader advised us not to believe whatever nonsense you spit out," the girl responded with a


    snort.


    She stuck out her tongue and made a face at him. After that, she walked away without looking back.


    The young man watched ire disappear into the distance, while the scent of her body lingered to


    where he stood.


    "Damn it! It''s that old man Godwin again. He spoke ill of me behind my back and embarrassed me.


    Once Tin is back, I''ll ask him to dismiss him of his post immediately.


    This is unfair! I''m such a handsome, promising cultivator, yet I don''t have a girlfriend," the young man


    ranted out of frustration as he looked at the sky.


    At this time, an illusory figure slowly appeared not far away from him.


    It was Austin.


    He looked at the young man not far away and could not help but raise his eyebrows.


    "Damn it! Herbert hasn''t changed at all,"


    he said with a wry smile as he shook his head.


    Herbert still looked and acted the same as thest time he saw him.


    "He is at the preliminary stage of Tribtion Realm. Hmmm, not bad.


    He needs to improve the quality of his vital energy. I bet the reason he could reach this realm is that


    master has been providing him various resources during these years.


    I don''t think he will work hard on cultivating by himself,"


    Austin murmured as he sensed Herbert''s vital energy.


    Since his spiritual sense was strong, he could easily recognize Herbert''s cultivation base.


    In an instant, Austin reached behind Herbert.


    "What nonsense are you talking about? You''re a talented cultivator? Don''t tter yourself too much,"


    he jokingly mocked, as he looked at Herbert with a smile.


    "How dare you?! You better watch your tone!


    How could you be so rude? Don''t you know who I am?"


    Herbert scolded in an angry tone.


    Since he was looking up at the sky, and Austin''s bodily movement skill was remarkably fast, he didn''t


    take note of thetter at all.


    And as soon as he caught sight of Austin, he was dumbstruck on his feet, as if he had seen a ghost.


    Herbert swallowed, gaping at Austin.


    It was as if he was strangled by an invisible hand. He wanted to say something, but no words escaped


    his mouth.


    "Damn it, what the hell is wrong with me? I think I saw Tin. Nah, I must be dreaming!"


    Herbert blurted out, staring at Austin with a stunned expression.


    "What are you saying? You''re not dreaming!"


    Austin was amused at Herbert''s reaction, kicking thetter right on his buttock to knock some sense


    into him.


    Thetter then instantly tripped and fell on the ground.


    "Tin!


    Ha-ha! Oh my god!


    Tin, it''s really you!


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Damn it! I thought I had seen a ghost!


    Ha-ha! Whoa! This is amazing! When did youe back?" Herbert gushed as the pain on his butts


    brought him back to his senses.


    At this moment, he rushed towards Austin with tears of joy welling up in his eyes.


    "Just now,"


    Austin replied and chuckled.


    "I''m so d that you''re back!


    You have no idea how much I missed you! It''s been years!


    You know that old man Godwin is always mean to me. Degrading and speaking ill of me to others!


    I have been so embarrassed! Tin, you must avenge me!"


    Herbert whined endlessly.


    "Screw you! If you continue to speak ill of my master, I will throw you out of the Oracle Sect!"


    Austin threatened, casting him a stare.


    Herbert was startled with his reply.


    Since he was Austin''s best friend, he had been living afortable life in the Oracle Sect and relished


    on a significant number of resources provided to him.


    Only Godwin, Peter, Julius, and other reclusive elders had the guts to reprimand him and remind him to


    behave himself.


    No one else dared to lecture him because of Austin.


    He had been pretty spoiled all these years, and it surely got it in his head.


    If he was expelled from the Oracle Sect, he couldn''t live inforts anymore. Damn! Herbert could feel


    an intense chill in his body just by thinking of it.


    "Please don''t do that. In fact, Godwin is doing this for my sake. He is a good man,"


    Herbert immediately corrected his words.


    "Tin, I''m the one that cared for you the most. How can you favor him over me? My heart is broken,"


    Herbert uttered with a pang of hurt.


    "Where is Evan?" Austin suddenly asked, changing the topic.


    He didn''t want to talk nonsense with Herbert.


    "Evan is cultivating in seclusion.


    He always spends a few months in his cultivation every now and then. I haven''t seen him for a while,"


    Herbert informed, still bothered by how Austin was treating him.


    Meanwhile, Austin was ted to hear such good news.


    "Come on! Let''s go and see Evan,"


    Austin excitingly invited.


    Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he dragged Herbert and headed towards Evan''s secret room.


    It only took them a second to reach the secret room on the mountain where Evan was cultivating in


    seclusion.


    "Tin, you are too fast!"


    Herbert eximed in surprise as soon as hended on the mountain.


    For cultivators in the Prime Martial World, Austin''s current speed was terrifying. It was no surprise that


    a person like Herbert would be appalled by it.
