    After a moment of contemtion, Emrys suddenly pulled Peter over to Ruben, smiling ast he said,


    “Since you’re so keen on rebuilding Sword King Sect, I have a proposition for you. From now on, Peter


    will take on the mantle of the sect’s leader.”


    Ruben’s eyes widened in shock. “This is no joking matter!” he eximed.


    Peter was also taken aback.


    Emrys‘ expression turned serious as he spoke. “Do you think I’m joking? When I epted. Sword


    King’s inheritance, Mr. Peter was right there beside me. He’s practically a co- inheritor, and I see no


    problem with him bing the sect leader.”


    Emrys had so much on his te that he hardly had the time or inclination to stay there. and y the


    role of a sect leader. Since Ruben was insistent, he simply thought that it would be best to pass the


    burden onto Peter instead.


    “Besides,” Emrys continued in a yful tone, “when we were atop Sword King Mountain, you


    mistakenly believed that Mr. Peter was the inheritor, and you were so emotional about it. I’m guessing


    you must have already entertained the thought of making him the sect leader.”


    Ruben awkwardly scratched his head.


    Of course, he had entertained such thoughts.


    Peter was his son. If he could be the sect leader, it would undoubtedly bring great honor to him as


    his father. This was the reason for his initial excitement.


    However, the reality was that Emrys was the true inheritor of Sword King. It had taken a great deal of


    effort to convince Caden and Devon to ept this. If Peter were to be the sect leader now, they


    would undoubtedly raise objections once again.


    Peter shook his head vehemently and said, “Tigger, I can’t do it. How could I possibly shoulder such a


    heavy responsibility?”


    Emrys sighed helplessly. “Well, if that’s the case, there’s not much we can do. Three Sword Sects will


    just have to maintain the status quo for now. As for your inheritance… I suppose


    1/3


    I’ll just have to shoulder the burden myself.”


    Upon hearing his words, it finally dawned on them that Emrys wasn’t just putting on an act. He truly


    viewed his role as the sect leader as a burden.


    Just then, Ruben’s eyes lit up as a thought urred to him. “I have a suggestion. Why don’t you


    appoint an acting sect leader? Whenever you’re ready to take over the position, you can have the


    acting sect leader step down.”


    “That’s actually not a bad idea,” Emrys said, his gaze lingering on Ruben with a hint of amusement. He


    was well aware of the man’s intentions but decided to y along nheless. “So, who do you think


    we should choose as the acting sect leader?”


    “Uh…”


    Suddenly, Ruben found himself at a loss for words.


    Weren’t you just saying that you wanted to give the position of sect leader to Peter? So why are you


    asking such a question now when I suggest appointing an acting sect leader? Surely you don’t expect


    me to boldly proim that we should choose my son, do you? What will Caden and Devon think of me


    if I do that?


    At the thought of that, Ruben could only respond awkwardly, “I’ll defer to your judgment.”


    “I’ll choose Peter then,” Emrys dered decisively, putting an end to their yful banter.


    “Thank you for your generous decision, Mr. Griffins!”


    Overjoyed at this oue, Ruben turned to look at Caden and Devon before saying, “Gentlemen,


    you’ve already agreed to step down from the position of sect leader. Now that we have our new sect


    leader, I trust you will respect his decisions and follow his guidance?”


    “Hmph!”


    The two of them let out a displeased huff, for they couldn’t stand to watch him gloat like


    this.


    “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back to Spirit Sword Sect now. Farewell!”


    Caden cast onest, lingering nce at Emrys before he strode away. The awe and reverence he had


    felt upon believing Emrys to be Heavenly Sword King had all but vanished.


    2/3


    Devon telt the same way, Auter saying uai ne left Sword King Hall.


    The two of them left without looking back.


    you don’t Emrys turned to look at Ruben, his tone somewhat odd as he said, “Mr. Ruben, actually


    believe that they are willing to relinquish their positions as sect leaders, do you?”


    “Of course, I know they wouldn’t give up their power so easily.” Ruben murmured, a sigh escaping his


    lips. “s, it’s been so long since Heavenly Sword King left us. It’s no wonder those two have lost sight


    of Sword King’s objective.”
