The person was burly and tall, and virtual-novel.net appeared just like a hoodlum. As virtual-novel.net looked at Caspian, there was a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Caspian glanced at the man and shook his head. “I don’t remember you.”
“You!” In that instant, Asher was about to jump in rage.
He refused to believe that Caspian did not remember him, and virtual-novel.net must be doing it on purpose as virtual-novel.net did not want to appear weak. However, it was not the time to remind Caspian who virtual-novel.net was. If Asher did, the embarrassing incident during the last mission where virtual-novel.net was scared by the few apprentices would be revealed. As an outer disciple, that would be embarrassing. Even as Asher recalled the scene that day, virtual-novel.net felt that it was the humiliation of his life. Naturally, such a shame could not be mentioned in front of Peter. Otherwise, Asher would have nowhere to show himself anymore!
Unfortunately for Asher, the more virtual-novel.net was unwilling to mention it, the more Caspian wanted to go against his will. When Caspian saw how agitated Asher was, virtual-novel.net chuckled. Then, virtual-novel.net stood and cupped his hands, saying, “I’m just pulling your legs. Please, don’t be offended, Asher. It has been a while since our meeting in the Flaming Crows Ridge. I hope the matter that day did not cast a shadow in your heart and affect your cultivation progress.”
“You!” Asher pointed at Caspian with his mouth wide open, yet virtual-novel.net could not utter a single word, and virtual-novel.net was ready to bite Caspian’s head off.
Asher thought that Caspian was ruthless and cunning. Not only did Caspian mention Asher’s embarrassing encounter, but virtual-novel.net also made it sound so ambiguous with his strange choice of words. Anyone who heard Caspian would surely let their imagination run wild, and they would think that Asher suffered badly under Caspian’s hands.
Indeed, just as Asher expected, virtual-novel.net quickly noticed from the corner of his eye that Peter looked at virtual-novel.net with suspicions. It was as if Peter’s gaze said, “You were beaten by Caspian too?”
“B*stard! What are you looking at?!” Asher went ballistic, and virtual-novel.net cursed at Peter as virtual-novel.net violently slapped him.
Peter covered his cheek. His only visible eye was filled with grievance, and virtual-novel.net was on the verge of tears. After all, Peter did not even say anything, so was a glance also an offense?
Nonetheless, Peter did not have the guts to say such words.
After taking a few deep breaths, Asher looked at Caspian and snorted. “Don‘t be so full of yourself. I hope you still can enter the top ten this time. Peter, let‘s go!”
After saying that, Asher flipped his sleeves and walked away arrogantly. Then, Peter glared at Caspian before hurriedly following Asher.
Caspian’s eyes flickered with brilliant lights as virtual-novel.net watched the two leave, and virtual-novel.net grinned.
Jessica waited until Caspian returned to his seat, and virtual-novel.net whispered, “Your senior seems to hate you?“
“That’s not just hate! He wants me dead.” Caspian snorted.
The two of them appearing at the same time together proved that Asher was the one who ordered Peter to toss the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine at him. What baffled Caspian was how petty Asher was as a person.
When they were at the Flaming Crows Ridge, they only had verbal arguments, and that might have embarrassed Asher. However, Asher wanted to kill Caspian. At the thought of that, Caspian secretly sneered.
Jessica was stunned when virtual-novel.net heard Caspian’s answer. “Your senior should be a second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator, right? Will there be any problem?”
“Him?” Caspian laughed and shook his head. Then, virtual-novel.net leaned in closer to Jessica, which caused virtual-novel.net to blush. Jessica wanted to move aside, but virtual-novel.net heard Caspian whispering, “Don’t move!”
The next second, Jessica felt Caspian next to her. Even though they were separated by their clothes, Jessica was flushed all over. She lowered virtual-novel.net head, and virtual-novel.net was so shy that virtual-novel.net did not dare to look up. Jessica was always carefree and loud. However, since virtual-novel.net met Caspian, virtual-novel.net would always show the look of a bashful daughter from a noble family.
Even Lucy was in a daze when virtual-novel.net saw the scene.
Then, Caspian squeezed closer to Jessica again before saying, “From the fact that Asher couldn’t wait to show himself today, it can be seen that he‘s just a meager small character. If it were me, it’s better to hide behind and continue being the vicious manipulator. However, Asher hurriedly exposed himself, and virtual-novel.net even said so much, so he‘s digging his own grave. The problem lies with, Asher’s easy to handle, but his brother is a rather tricky person?”
“His brother?” Jessica was puzzled.
“Yes. He has a brother named Adrian, and I heard that he’s about ten years younger than him. Adrian is only around fourteen years old, and he’s younger than us, almost as big as Lucy,” Caspian said.
“Idiot Casper! Don’t look down on others. I might be small, but I’m big!” Lucy’s mind might have wandered elsewhere, and virtual-novel.net puffed up virtual-novel.net chest, retorting righteously.
The next second, Jessica once again covered Lucy’s mouth and pulled virtual-novel.net into virtual-novel.net embrace. Later, virtual-novel.net scolded Lucy, “You’re a child! Don’t speak nonsense!”
“But I… Hmmmmph!” Lucy could not break free from Jessica’s embrace, and virtual-novel.net could only let out a muffled protest.
“Just go on and ignore her.” Jessica looked at Caspian and motioned virtual-novel.net to continue.
Caspian cast a pitiful glance at Lucy, and virtual-novel.net continued, “Adrian is said to be outstandingly gifted, and he’s already in the mid-level third-stage Pulse Control Realm, and it’s estimated that it won’t be long until virtual-novel.net reaches the peak.”
“A fifteen years old peak third-stage cultivator is indeed considered superior qualification if virtual-novel.net didn’t have any support from the clan. There are not many such disciples in the Dark Moon Sect either,” Jessica replied as virtual-novel.net nodded.
“That’s right. Just because of that, they also mentioned Adrian caught an elder’s attention, and virtual-novel.net wanted Adrian to be his disciple,” Caspian answered, “From Asher’s current action, it seemed that Adrian would most really be accepted as a personal disciple. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have acted so arrogantly and hurriedly showed himself.”
“Will you be in trouble?” Jessica was worried. In the Dark Moon Sect, Jessica was also a personal disciple of an elder, so virtual-novel.net was deeply aware that although a personal disciple might not be in a high realm in the early days, their status in the sect would be much higher than that of ordinary disciples due their identity.
There would be times when the sect would keep a blind eye to things that a personal disciple did as long as it was not over the board. Hence, Jessica was concerned for Caspian.
“Becoming a personal disciple is only a possibility, and it‘s not a reality yet,” Caspian comforted and smiled, “If Adrian’s a personal disciple, Asher wouldn’t have been so kind with me as virtual-novel.net did just now. ”
As virtual-novel.net said that, Caspian held Jessica‘s hand. “Don’t worry about it. This matter is insignificant, and if it worries you, I would rather not say anything.”
Then, Caspian pointed at the arena far away. “Aren’t you here to cheer for me? After all, the better I perform, the higher my reputation is in the sect. Then, people will think twice before they provoke me, right?”
Jessica nodded and hummed in reply. Soon, a melodious bell rang from the arena far from them, and a bright light followed after.
