Chapter 692
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, he 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, he should concentrate on cultivation.
These words sounded sarcastic, but Caspian still responded respectfully.
Nheless, he was also a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, it was the first time he met Keanu, and with Keanu’s hectic schedules, he 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 Pce and headed to the capital of Earlington of Efrax, Caspian quietly asked
Maisie, who he had a good rtionship 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 he wants to trouble someone, he 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
hase to bully the weak.
It’s tough to feel good about these conservatives.”
Maisie seemed to see that Caspian was worried, and sheforted him softly, “Elder Keanu can take
charge of the Civil Administration Court because he does things fairly.
His attitude toward you just now was not deliberate.
Maybe he’s just reminding you, but he won’t take it to heart either.
Hence, you don’t have to worry about him 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 Pce of Earlington of Efrax, making it as
bright as day.
Goblets shed from hand to hand in the wide courtyard, and the atmosphere was vivacious.
Sitting in the banquet, Caspian suddenly felt that he returned to the time when he feasted with the
ministers in Salleria.
In the courtyard banquet, everyone drank and chatted, and there were bursts of pleasant sounds music
ying in their ears.
Everything felt familiar for Caspian, and he 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, he 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 n, and it would only be suspicious if
the Blue Feather Sect disciples did not give him the long face.
Nheless, 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,
Sna, 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, bing 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 he was also smiling faintly, he 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
him at a nce.
Additionally, everyone could see that Caspian’s indifference was definitely not forced or pretend, and
he seemed to be used to that kind of scene.
The temperament instantly made everyone present admire him 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 her ear.
However, she had to secretly admit that Caspian was indeed like the brightest star in the sky, and
everyone had to notice him at a nce.
Moreover, it was also puzzling why it was hard to look away from him whenever their eyes fell on him.
“That’s right.
He’s putting on an act again.” Jessica’s gaze was fixed on Caspian, and she smiled gently.

Tonight, she also drank two sses of spiritual alcohol.
Her cheeks were flushed from the wine, and her eyes sparkled, revealing a naive look rarely seen in
normal times.
When Lucy saw Jessica’s appearance, she sighed internally.
‘Oh no! It’s over! Lady Jessica’spletely head over heels for Casper.
What should we do…’
Just when Lucy was anxious, Jessica held her chin in both hands.
Her eyes shone brightly as she stated at Caspian in the main seat not far away.
Even a fool could feel the tenderness in her 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 sses 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 regr use of life-prolonging medicines, they appeared no
different from being in their thirties, and they looked youngerpared with many officials present in
their forties and fifties.
Nevertheless, the marvelous light that shed in the emperor’s eyes from time to time told everyone
that although he was not a cultivator, he was still an outstanding person that few people couldpare
within the mortal world.
