The next second, Renee heard Caspian’s helpless sigh. “Alright. Show me what you got.”
“Ah?” Renee turned around and looked at Caspian in surprise and joy. “Are you serious?”
“Of course,” Caspian answered in annoyance, “If I don’t agree, I’m afraid it’ll take us forever to reach the True Intention Palace.”
Renee looked around virtual-novel.net and blushed. It turned out that virtual-novel.net pace had slowed down because of virtual-novel.net troubled thoughts. In fact, they had only walked a few hundred meters. Renee stuck out virtual-novel.net tongue, but virtual-novel.net was actually happy as Caspian’s words meant that virtual-novel.net remembered her.
‘It seems that I’m a troublesome opponent… Otherwise, why would virtual-novel.net remember me?’ Renee was feeling somewhat proud. ‘Looking at his current expression, it was obvious that he’s somewhat afraid of me.’
At the thought of this, Renee felt better, and virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net brow, drawing out virtual-novel.net sword. “Alright! Casper! Watch out!”
***
After a few seconds, Caspian helplessly watched Renee covering virtual-novel.net face and running away.
“You can’t blame me for this. You’re really weak…” Caspian wanted to explain, but Renee was already far from him. As virtual-novel.net said that, Caspian had an estimation of his strength.
‘My current strength should completely surpass any cultivators of the same realm.’
Just as Caspian thought of this, virtual-novel.net saw Renee suddenly returning with a blank face. “What are you doing here?” Caspian asked out of curiosity.
“I‘m here to bring you to the True Intention Palace,” Renee answered as virtual-novel.net huffed. She seemed to have just cried, and there were still tears at the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes.
“I thought you’re going to run away and leave again,” Caspian said.
Renee knew that Caspian was talking about the incident last time, and virtual-novel.net face flushed again as virtual-novel.net chest undulated a few times as if virtual-novel.net was about to have a heart attack. Nonetheless, Renee quickly calmed herself down. Then, virtual-novel.net said indignantly through gritted teeth, “I’ll defeat you next time.”
Caspian smiled disdainfully, “Maybe in another 100 years.”
Caspian believed that those cultivators virtual-novel.net surpassed would never win against virtual-novel.net in this life. Moreover, it was also obvious that Caspian had angered Renee again, but virtual-novel.net could not argue back. After all, virtual-novel.net was defeated by Caspian twice in a row, and there was no chance of winning at all.
Next, the two of them did not exchange words.
Renee was angry and dejected, whereas Caspian did not plan to talk with the girl. Besides, it was really meaningless to fight and kill as soon as they met. Compared to someone the same age as Renee, Lucy was much more interesting. However, Caspian immediately thought of Jessica when virtual-novel.net thought of Lucy.
‘I wonder if virtual-novel.net received the letter I sent virtual-novel.net recently. Unfortunately, I won’t have time to write to virtual-novel.net for the next half a year…’
At the thought of this, Caspian felt a sense of melancholy. After half an hour, Renee led Caspian to the True Intention Palace. It was a majestic palace built in the depths of the Heavenly Stars Sect by the hillside, and it was extremely magnificent. There were glowing runes slowly rotating in the void, like pillars of light supporting the sky and the earth. At a glance, it was extremely daunting.
However, Caspian had to cross a stone bridge about 2.5 kilometers before reaching the True Intention Palace’s entrance. Renee led Caspian to the front of the stone bridge and stopped. “You can go in. Master Dakota is waiting for you inside.”
Caspian nodded and walked forward. At this time, Renee was pouting and looking at Caspian with eyes full of indignation and dissatisfaction. She truly wanted to defeat Caspian, and it was best if virtual-novel.net could do that before Maisie came out from virtual-novel.net ascension. That way, Renee could tell Maisie the good news. However, it seemed that Renee would not have the chance at all, and virtual-novel.net wanted to cry when virtual-novel.net thought about that.
Suddenly Caspian stopped in his tracks.
“Hey, Renee.”
Renee heard Caspian calling her. “What?” She scrunched virtual-novel.net nose and answered in annoyance.
“You‘ve improved from before. Good luck.” Caspian did not seem to mind and smiled at Renee. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around without looking back anymore, walking toward the True Intention Palace.
Renee felt as if virtual-novel.net mind was buzzing, and virtual-novel.net only recovered virtual-novel.net senses when Caspian had crossed the stone bridge and walked up the stairs, entering the True Intention Palace.
Next, Renee burst into laughter. “Hahaha! He finally admits that I’m a great opponent He said that I’ve improved from before! Casper, watch out! I’ll be stronger than I’m now when we meet next time!”
If Caspian saw this, virtual-novel.net would shake his head and say, “Kids are so easy to fool.”
However, Caspian had already entered the True Intention Palace, and virtual-novel.net immediately felt a magnificent aura. The True Intention Palace’s main hall was extremely wide, and the dome was like a vast universe. Its floor was covered with black marble tiles, which were as smooth as a mirror. There were also tall and clean black stone pillars everywhere, carved with golden runes.
The runes on the stone pillars seemed to form a certain connection with each other. There were visible and eye-catching pale golden lights, winding and floating between the stone pillars like a veil. At a glance, it appeared extremely mysterious.
Caspian looked up and saw on the high platform seat in the main hall, a gorgeous woman who looked around twenty-seven years old was looking at him. Even though Caspian had heard about Dakota from Maisie many times, this was the first time Caspian met her.
A Heavenly Spirit Realm powerhouse’s aura and power were like a majestic mountain, and Caspian suddenly felt pressured. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net knew that Dakota was not deliberately targeting him, and it was just the instinctive fear from the gap in their realms. It was easy to overcome this fear, raising his realm to a level equivalent to Dakota’s realm. Then, virtual-novel.net would not feel it anymore.
Caspian took a deep breath, raised his head, and walked toward Dakota, bowing respectfully. “I’m Casper Montgomery, a Heavenly Stars Sect’s apprentice. It’s an honor to meet you, Master Dakota.”
“You‘re one of us. There’s no need to be so polite.”
Caspian was baffled and thought, ‘One of us? What was virtual-novel.net talking about?’
Dakota seemed to know Caspian‘s confusion, and virtual-novel.net smiled. “Jessica Lawrence‘s teacher is my best friend. The first person Jessica met when virtual-novel.net visited the Heavenly Stars Sect was me, not you.”
Caspian was suddenly beading in cold sweats. That relationship seemed to be too forceful?
However, Caspian also understood that with Dakota’s identity, there was no need for virtual-novel.net to have a relationship with him. The reason virtual-novel.net did this was just to help virtual-novel.net feel at ease.
