Chapter 237


    Chapter 237 Prestigious


    One day, as Simone was about to leave and change her shoes, she heard a knock on the door. She


    stopped and opened it, only to see an old man with a kind face, apanied by a man. with white hair


    and a youthful appearance. She had seen both of them when she was a child.


    “Hello, masters!” She gestured for them toe in. “Pleasee in and have a seat!” These were her


    master’srades.


    The old man, Magnus Hart, smiled and said, “You remember us.”


    The white-haired man, Sage Caddel, smiled and nodded at her. “Mones.”


    After they sat down, Simone went to brew two cups of tea and ced them in front of them. She asked,


    “Do you guys have something to discuss with me?” She had not seen them in many years as they did


    not usually interact much.


    There had to be something important now that they showed up.


    Sage took out a seal and handed it to her. “This is the seal that your master entrusted us temporarily


    before he passed away. He instructed us to seek you and hand over the seal.”


    Simone was stunned for a moment, then took the seal. It was the tool that her master had used for


    many years, his identity seal.


    Certified by the geomancy association, every master would carve a seal with their name, containing


    their aura, and leave special marks on it. Then, it would be registered with the association and used as


    a form of identification in the future.


    She also had a seal that she carved herself. Feeling the familiar aura, Simone caressed the seal as her


    eyes turned red. “Why did he entrust the seal to you guys for safekeeping and only hand it to me now?”


    This was something she did not understand.


    Sage replied, “Your master left something for you in the storage vault of the geomancy association.


    Only this seal and the key in your hand can open it. He left something for your but calcted it wasn’t


    time for you to receive it yet. We don’t know what exactly it is and why he chose to give it to you now.”


    Simone held the seal, her eyes bing even redder. “So, that’s why.” She missed her


    master.


    Sage saw her teary-eyed and longing expression and said, “Before your master passed away. he


    instructed us to take care of you. But he also told us not to disturb you before handing over the seal.


    Only then could we contact you. I’m the head of Cloudmist Observatory in Iriden. If you need anything,


    feel free to contact me. Of course, you can drop by whenever you’re free”

    Magnus added, “I’m the vice president of the geomancy association. If you’re interested in bing a


    geomancy master, you cane to me. We’ve seen your talent in geomancy and. mystical arts


    disyed during the live broadcast. We believe that your master would be happy and relieved. He


    entrusted us to take care of you, and we will do our best. Don’t be too formal with us.”


    Simone was surprised and said, “Thank you for your care.”


    That was the kindness of her master, and she would naturally not disappoint him. Moreover, there were


    many things she needed to figure out. The identities of these two masters were not simple.


    Although Cloudmist Observatory in Iriden was not thergest spiritual space in Cebros, it was the most


    famous in the circle. The ability of a spiritual leader in geomancy mystical arts. was strong. Many


    influential and wealthy people wanted him to help with physiognomy, but they had to wait in line with no


    guarantee that he would help.


    As for the vice president of the geomancy association, he was also a well-known figure in the circle.


    She had never expected that these two masters had such identities. Her master had never mentioned


    these things to her before.


    Magnus smiled lovingly and said, “You’re our junior, so we must take care of you.” He then asked, “Do


    you have any questions for us?”


    Simone did have some questions. She looked at the two of them and asked straightforwardly, “Masters,


    do you know how my master passed away?”


    He replied, “Before he adopted you, he went to Newton and came back severely injured. We asked


    him, but he didn’t tell us who did it. That injury originally affected his lifespan. A year before his death,


    he performed a divination. We don’t know what he saw, but he used a secret. technique at the cost of


    depleting his lifespan. As a result, he was rapidly aged by the bacsh. of the heavenly path and


    passed away shortly after.”


    She was stunned and asked, “Do you know what secret technique it was?”


    Before her master passed away, she was studying at Cebros. When she rushed back after hearing that


    he was seriously ill, it was no wonder that he gave her the feeling of being.pletely exhausted. It did


    not seem like a normal process of aging and dying, but rather like the withering and decay after


    overexertion.


    So, it turned out that her master was affected by the bacsh.


    Sage sighed and said, “He didn’t tell us, but we specte that he might’ve defied fate. Otherwise, even


    with a severe injury, he wouldn’t have only lived for a little over ten years. Only a secret technique like


    that would require the sacrifice of one’s final lifespan and vitality. He had a hint of sadness in his eyes.


    “Yes, ording to our observation of his aura, he should’ve been able to live for another ten or twenty


    years before using the secret

    technique.”


    At that, Simone’s body stiffened, and she suddenly had the urge to burst into tears. She held back


    because the two masters were still present. Could Master have changed my destiny?

    She choked up a bit and asked, “Do you know who hurt him?”


    Magnus replied, “We have some leads. We’ll let you know once we confirm.”


    Sage looked at her and said, “Your master hopes the rest of your life will be happy and smooth. He


    never intended for you to seek revenge for him. You don’t have to be fixated on this matter. We will take


    care of it.”


    She pursed her lips. “I understand, but I still want to know who did it.”


    As for seeking revenge, of course, it had to be done.


    “We will inform you once we find out.”


    Simone nodded. “Okay, thank you, masters!”


    Sage asked, “Is there anything else you want to ask?”


    She pondered for a moment and replied, “No, I just need some time alone.”


    She was hesitant to trust these two easily, as their previous encounter had been brief years. ago. They


    were unaware of the secrets surrounding her master. Therefore, she had no inquiries and would have


    to conduct her investigations.

    Sage could sense that she was suppressing her emotions. “Alright, we won’t disturb you. Let’s


    exchange contact information.”


    then.


    She nodded. “Okay!”


    Modern geomancers kept up with the times and utilized messaging apps in addition to phone calls. She


    then bid farewell to the two.


    Just as they were about to depart, Magnus advised her, “You should retrieve the belongings your


    master left at the geomancy association as soon as possible. Perhaps you will find some answers you


    seek.”


    Simone nodded. “Thank you for reminding me, master.”


    The two departed, and as soon as she closed the door, she could no longer control her emotions. She


    squatted, hugged her legs, and burst into tears.
