Just as the whole scene fell into silence, a voice full of resentment suddenly rang out. Naturally, the speaker was Ryan!


    At this moment, Ryan’s face had already be extremely dark, and the final scenepletely caught him off guard. Just the thought of L’s actions made him feel a sense of fear rise inexplicably in his heart.


    No, this can’t be! L must be stopped in his tracks! Otherwise, with the talent L disyed, he would eventually fall into his hands sooner orter!


    At this point, even if it caused dissatisfaction among the elders, he had to speak up.


    As Ryan’s voice fell, all eyes turned towards him with a rustling sound.


    Shortly after, a middle-aged man from the Broken Pulse Sect stepped forward and said in a low voice to Ryan, “Ryan! What are you doing? Neither the deputy sect master nor the elders have spoken. Who gave you the right to speak here?”


    “The Deacon!”


    The speaker was none other than the Deacon, who intended to take Ryan as his disciple. At this moment, the Deacon’s face was gloomy, wishing he could shut Ryan up immediately!


    However, since Ryan had already spoken, there was no turning back! He could only continue with a stiff upper lip, “Respected elders, I have no objections to L’s passing the test!”


    “But Fiona clearly relied on him to pass the test. If she is allowed to pass, it would be uneptable to everyone!”


    Ryan’s voice was resounding, immediately causing a stir.


    Many people, after recovering from their shock at L’s actions, nodded in agreement with Ryan’s words.


    In their view, Fiona’s passing was indeed somewhat unfair.


    Fiona’s face was flushed at this moment. Mainly, she didn’t expect L to help her pass the test in this way. Now, seeing L being criticized by everyone, she felt ufortable too.


    She was about to speak, but at this moment, L squeezed her hand to signal her not to speak.


    “You make sense,” said the deputy sect master, Sullivan. “However, the rules do not explicitly prohibit helping others pass. L’s strength in the first stage was exceptional, which is understandable.”


    “This is only a one-time exception and shall not be taken as precedent!”


    Soon, Sullivan’s voice rang out, although somewhat stern, it was obvious that he was protecting L.


    Of course, there were no rules explicitly prohibiting helping others pass in the first stage.


    Sullivan’s words directly settled the matter. Ryan, feeling unwilling, originally wanted to speak up again, but the Deacon quickly covered his mouth upon seeing this.


    “Are you crazy? You don’t want to enter the Broken Pulse Sect?”


    “Don’t drag me down!”


    The Deacon, nervous, pulled Ryan aside and scolded him angrily.


    Ryan then came to his senses from his anger, feeling a sense of relief. After all, he had just been in conversation with the deputy sect master, and if he had offended him, a word could have determined his fate!


    Fortunately, his actions just now didn’t result in anything too bad.


    ncing at L from afar, Ryan muttered, “Consider yourselves lucky! There are still two more tests toe!”


    “I’ll see how you handle them!”


    After hearing the deputy sect master’s words, Fiona’s heart was filled with excitement. She grabbed L’s hand and kept talking.


    “L, did you hear that?”


    “The deputy sect master spoke up for us! This is a great honor!”


    “Someone as unattainable as the deputy sect master may be someone I can never reach in my lifetime!”


    L looked at the extremely excited Fiona in front of him, his face full of smiles.


    Without the pressure of thedder, Fiona quickly recovered under the nourishment of the Dragon Energy she had been infused earlier. Moreover, after just enduring, L could clearly feel Fiona’s strength growing, although the increase was very slight. But it would undoubtedly be greatly beneficial to her in the future.


    “The rest of you take an hour break, and we’ll start the second stage in an hour!” Deputy Sect Master Sullivan waved his hand and led the members of the Broken Pulse Sect away. However, before leaving, he gave L a meaningful nce.


    The message was clear, asking L to meet himter.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Understanding Sullivan’s intention from his eyes, L shrugged and instructed Fiona not to wander around before walking towards Sullivan’s direction.


    Soon, L saw Sullivan and others sitting in a pavilion, chatting andughing.


    Seeing L approaching from afar, Kyrie chuckled and said to Sullivan, “Deputy Sect Master, L is here!”


    “Greetings, Deputy Sect Master. Greetings, esteemed elders,” L greeted politely as he approached Sullivan and Kyrie.


    Sullivan stood up and looked L up and down, his satisfaction evident in his eyes. “Not bad, not bad! Kyrie has briefed me about you. I’m considering taking on a disciple. Are you willing, L?”


    Hmm? Sullivan’s words caught L off guard, prompting him to look directly at Kyrie. Kyrie nodded repeatedly, indicating that he should agree.


    L understood. Despite the ancient origins of the Broken Pulse Sect, there were still interpersonal considerations. Joining under a prominent figure like the deputy sect master was undoubtedly the best choice for him. Moreover, he had a good rtionship with Kyrie and trusted him not to harm him.


    With that in mind, L nodded directly and respectfully bowed to Sullivan. “Greetings, Master!”


    “Haha, good disciple!” Sullivanughed heartily. “Consider this as my weing gift. After you officially join, I’ll arrange a weing feast for you!”


    Seeing L agree, Sullivan was overjoyed andughed heartily. As hisughter faded, a palm-sized pouch fell into L’s hands.


    What’s this? A storage pouch?


    Looking at the delicate pouch in his hand, L’s pupils contracted involuntarily. In the modern world, with the sparse spiritual energy and the decline of many ancient sects, treasures like storage artifacts were extremely rare! Sullivan giving him one at their first meeting showed how much he valued him.


    Although L already had a mustard seed pouch, it paled inparison to the one in his hand, both in quality and storage space.


    Using his spiritual sense to probe, L found numerous cultivation pills piled inside, indicating that Sullivan had spared no expense.


    Excited, L bowed respectfully to Sullivan once again. “Thank you, Master!”


    “As my disciple, your matters are my matters,” Sullivan dered warmly. “I will help you seek revenge against the ancient Willis family, but their strength should not be underestimated. We need to n carefully. Do you understand?”


    Sullivan’s words served as a reminder for L not to act rashly but also indicated his firm support. He and the Broken Pulse Sect were undoubtedly on L’s side.
