Chapter 393


    The boy in front of him was a few years younger than himself, but Caspian felt a wicked vibe from him.


    Such an aura was extremely sharp and harsh, and with just a nce, Adrian could make anyone


    scared for their lives as if he held a knife against their throat.


    Seeing Maisie, Adrian stopped talking to the elder, turning over and standing.


    Then, he smiled, “How are you, Maisie?”


    After saying that, his gaze fell on Caspian.


    Even though Adrian appeared young, Caspian felt as if a de shed at his head.


    If it were ordinary people, they would be scared out of their wits, or maybe even fall to the ground as


    their knees went weak.


    However, Caspian was not afraid.


    On the contrary, the sharp de would ignite the fighting spirit in his heart.


    In that instant, it was as if swords shed at one another in the air, and everyone around them


    suddenly felt they were attacked.


    Maisie’s gaze slightly changed, but she did not say anything and took a step forward, protecting


    Caspian behind her.


    Then, Maisie looked at Adrian.


    “Adrian, what are you doing here?”


    Adrian was shocked that Caspian did not avoid him, and he nned to show off his overbearing


    momentum, directly defeating Caspian.


    However, Maisie ruined his n.


    Nheless, Adrian did not mind.


    After casting a thoughtful nce at Caspian, he looked at Maisie, answering, “Maisie, Elder Patrick,


    and I had something to discuss, but we’re done now.


    Why don’t you say why you’ re here?”


    Even though he said that, Adrian did not intend to leave.


    He just stood at the side, looking down.


    His existence was like a nail on the board, which was ufortable at a nce, yet his sharp-edged


    aura was enough to make one unwilling to confront him out of fear.


    ‘This is a true genius,’ Caspian thought.


    Adrian was only fourteen, yet he reached the peak third-stage Pulse Control Realm, and he was only a


    step away from Holy Land Realm.


    Such a cultivation talent was the best in the entire Earlington of Efrax.


    Nevertheless, Caspian was not afraid even though he was amazed by Adrian’s talent.


    It was indeed remarkable that Adrian used a few years to be promoted to the peak third-stage Pulse


    Control Realm, but Caspian’s ascending to the peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm in half a year was


    equally incredible too.


    Adrian’s presence was indeed ufortable for some.


    Compared to him, the entry-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm disciple was not as noticeable.


    When that disciple noticed that Caspian looked at him, he only nced coldly at Caspian, not saying a


    word.


    Maisie realized that Adrian did not leave, and she did not ask him to go either.


    Then, she turned to the elder named Patrick, asking, “Elder Patrick, I’m here regarding the matter


    about Casper and the other disciples’ rewards.


    You mentioned that their contributions were doubtful.


    What does that mean?”


    Elder Patrick was not in a high realm, and he was only in the mid-level third-stage Pulse Control


    Realm.


    Nheless, it was prettymon in the sects for elders to be in lower realms than disciples.


    After all, the pathway to immortality was long, and the resources were limited.


    Hence, lesser people would be able to go far.


    Many sect disciples would realize that their talents were limited or did not have any support to provide


    them with enough resources.


    Then, they would choose to work for their sect to umte sect contribution points, hoping to get a


    position in the sect.


    Elder Patrick was one of them.


    Judging from his appearance, he appeared to be in his mid-fifty, but in truth, he was much older than


    that.


    Facing Maisie, who was in the peak third-stage Pulse Control Realm, Elder Patrick felt pressured.


    “I’m the one who has the final say in this… I also received… The higher-up’s order…” Elder Patrick


    stammered.


    “Higher-up? Whose? What are you talking about?” Maisie frowned, and her tone became somewhat


    serious.


    In that instant, the entire inner hall turned cold, and the air seemed to be heavy, causing others to have


    breathing difficulty.


    “The higher-up is… Is…” Elder Patrick stuttered, and his current actions were suspicious.


    Maisie’s face darkened.


    Then, she turned her hand over, and a memory inscription appeared on her palm.


    “Elder Patrick, do you dare to repeat what you said just now?”


    “I… ” Elder Patrick’s forehead was beaded with sweat, and his legs trembled as he was intimidated by


    Maisie’s pressure.


    “Let me exin it,” Adrian suddenly said.


    As he spoke, he stepped forward, blocking Elder Patrick, and directly facing Maisie.


    As if countless sharp arrows pierced through the heavy atmosphere, stirring it and letting it flow as


    usual.


    Everyone in the inner hall felt a heavy load was removed from their chest.


    Even Elder Patrick’s face returned to its originalplexion, and his legs did not shake anymore.


    “Master decided on this matter.” Adrian ignored Maisie’s gloomy face, and he continued, “For the time


    being, there’s no proof that shows Casper and the others’ contributions are real.


    Elder Patrick just conveyed the Master’s belief, and if you want to vent your anger, you should look for


    the right person.”


    “Master?” Maisie looked at Adrian, “Elder Frankie epted you as his disciple?”


    Adrian met Maisie’s gaze, and he smiled, nodding.


    “That’s right.


    The master-disciple rtionship was confirmed.


    However, Master mentioned that he’ll choose a date to announce it.


    Therefore, only the remaining leading elders are aware of this matter.


    Maisie, your position is not that high yet, so, normally, you didn’t know this.”


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    After saying that, Adrian looked at Maisie, shaking his head gently as if he felt sorry for Maisie to find


    out about itte.


    On the other hand, Maisie’s face was extremely gloomy.


    The Elder Frankie mentioned was one of the eighteen outstanding figures in the Heavenly Stars Sect,


    who was also in charge of the Dazzling Stars Pce, Frankie Irvin!


    The rewards received by the entire Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples, as well as the appointment and


    dismissal of the sect’s elders, must be approved by him.


    Hence, Frankie was extremely powerful in the Heavenly Stars Sect!


    If Frankie personally expressed his doubt about Caspian and his friends’ contributions, it would be


    tough to reverse the situation.


    It could be said to be impossible.


    Since Adrian dared to openly say Frankie epted him as his disciple, then the matter would surely be


    true.


    If Adrian dared to spurt nonsense, Frankie would personally handle the matter and kill Adrian with just


    a hit, ignoring the fact that Adrian was a well-known talent in the Heavenly Stars Sect.


    Moreover, it was not a secret in the Heavenly Stars Sect’s senior members that Frankie intended to


    ept Adrian as his disciple, and he did not do it before as he wanted to observe Adrian first.


    Even Maisie knew about that.
