Glinda's statement came like a sudden thunderclap out of a clear sky, resounding in all directions. It felt like a huge blow to everyone present.They thought Wilda could speak up for them and get them out of this, but unexpectedly, Glinda exposed them mercilessly.Aurelius, the Masters, and the Temple Lord were scared out of their wits, while the disciples were so scared they didn't even dare to breathe.Remus' gaze suddenly became sharp. Although he had guessed the truth, hearing it directly from Glinda still felt different."Remus!" Wilda quickly thought on her feet. She stepped in front of Remus and said firmly, "This is my own issue. It has nothing to do with you!"Look at it this way, we are all Monington's people. Though we have internal conflicts, if you act against them, not only will I not appreciate it, I will even be on their side!"At times like these, it was crucial to exaggerate things. Otherwise, no one could guarantee whether Remus would go on a rampage.Upon he
At the same time, Aurelius led the group back to the mountaintop. Behind him were the Masters, Temple Lord, and all the disciples from Monington. The scene was grand and imposing, but the atmosphere was notably somber.Each of them felt as if a heavy stone was weighing down on their hearts, making it hard for them to breathe. And this stone wasn't just any ordinary stone—it was Remus!When they were halfway up the mountain, all the Grandmasters and Masters kept moving forward. Meanwhile, the disciples gradually began to slow down because they had reached their living quarters.Even though they were curious to see what would happen next, no one dared to follow after seeing Aurelius' stern expression. They could only return to their quarters.Aurelius continued leading the rest of them up to the mountain summit.Once they arrived at the hall, Aurelius' spiritual energy unexpectedly burst out, colliding with the air and producing a deafening sound. His expression was terrifyingly gri
At the foot of the mountain, Remus found himself surprisingly not shocked at all after hearing what Wilda said. In fact, he felt a sense of relief because, from the very beginning, he hadn't felt confident in front of Wilda.In terms of strength, Wilda was on the verge of achieving immortality. As for Remus himself, he did have some skills, but they were not that impressive when compared to hers."Why?" It wasn't Remus but Glinda who asked that. "Ms. Hewitt, what’s wrong with Remus? He's the best man in the world. Truly, there's no one better than him."Marrying him is your best option, and you two have been engaged for a while already. How can you so easily call off the engagement?"Wilda looked at her and remembered when she first found out that she was from True Life.She specifically asked if she knew Remus, and back then, her response was straightforward. "He's a jerk. I wish I could tear him into pieces."Everything had changed now, but it didn't matter.Wilda looked back
Remus noticed Wilda's confusion and took the initiative to explain, "Setting aside the issue of the engagement, you once tried to save my life."Even though it didn't succeed, it doesn't negate the fact that you took action because you wanted to save me. So, you are my lifesaver, and I naturally have no right to make any further demands."Yes, he had always believed that a small act of kindness should be repaid with a greater act of gratitude.Wilda's face turned red with embarrassment upon hearing this. "I am not your lifesaver. I failed to save you every time. Your survival to this day is due to your own fortune and has little to do with me!"After all, she couldn't protect him in Monington or Boundless Island."If you're planning on looking for a spouse in the future, what kind of person would they be?" Remus suddenly asked.Wilda was caught off guard because she had never considered this question before. The reason she could achieve such abilities at her age was that she was
Remus and Wilda locked eyes with each other and gazed into each other's eyes.Remus remained silent, waiting for an answer. Meanwhile, Wilda also didn't say anything because she didn't know how to respond.Should she refuse? She could, but the problem was that if she ever did want to find a spouse one day, it seemed there wouldn't be anyone more suitable than Remus.Just as they were gazing at each other, the sound of the wind came from the side. It interrupted the moment, causing both to look over at the same time.When they spotted the newcomer, both of them frowned at the same time. It was none other than Aurelius, who was so afraid earlier that he even humiliated himself. As Monington's Grandmaster, he had already degraded himself to the point of utmost humility.It was just unfortunate that Wilda no longer liked him. So, Remus viewed him as a person who only cared about personal gain.Aurelius noticed the two gazing at him and a shadow of doubt flickered in his eyes. He may
Wilda thought she didn't need to worry about them having any hidden agendas, either. If they dared to make a move against Remus, there was no need for them to hold back anymore.Besides, considering Remus' ability that allowed him to kill Burke and Merlion, he would definitely be safe.After thinking for a moment, Wilda realized that it made more sense to let him attend the feast than to stop him.She turned to look at Remus and tentatively suggested, "If you can stay for a bit, how about try attending the feast?"Remus was well aware of her intentions. She simply hoped that he and Monington would get along better, but he didn't think it was necessary.Shaking his head, he said, "The situation outside is very urgent…"Before he could finish speaking, Wilda suddenly spoke, "I'll choose you!"Remus was taken aback for a moment, but then he quickly realized the meaning of those words. He couldn't help but look over, feeling a rush of blood through his entire body. He was more excit
"Mr. Cosby!" Even though they were laughing within, they all wore enthusiastic smiles on the surface, as if having Remus over was a great blessing.Remus remained silent. His expression was serious, and he didn't respond at all."Over here." Aurelius maintained his humble demeanor and gestured toward the main seat. "Mr. Cosby, please take this seat. Wilda and Glinda, you two can sit on either side of Mr. Cosby."Wilda and Glinda were both taken aback for a moment. Typically, it should be Aurelius sitting in the main seat, not due to abilities or conflicts, but simply because this was Monington.Even though they were all cultivators, they still valued the practical preparations of everyday life.Without giving them much time to think, Remus had already stepped toward the main seat. Such a trivial matter wasn't worth the effort to decline and waste time. In other words, if he acted too modestly, these snobbish people might not know how to handle it.Seeing Remus' actions, everyone
When Remus mentioned these two names, the atmosphere in the entire room felt like it had been doused with cold water. The smiles on everyone's faces instantly froze.Remus noticed the tense atmosphere and asked with a frown, "Did something happen to them?"Everyone avoided eye contact, not daring to meet his gaze.Wilda pondered for a moment and then said, "Sir Hudson has been punished with three years of confinement and is currently imprisoned in the ice prison. As for Ms. Elena…"As she spoke, she couldn't help but look toward Aurelius.She knew that Hudson was punished for letting Remus go, but she didn't know about Elena.The last time they met was when they returned from Boundless Island together. After that, she was confined to a cabin, and she didn't have the chance to think about Elena tonight when so many things had happened.Remus asked coldly, "Is Sir Hudson being punished because of me?"Wilda nodded, so Remus turned his head to look at Aurelius and asked, "Where is
