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
Remus snapped back to reality and looked ahead. Perhaps for the sake of architectural uniformity, the place appeared to be just an ordinary loft.He glanced at Wilda out of the corner of his eye and saw that her expression was unchanged, which confirmed that this was indeed the ice prison.After a brief moment of thought, he cautiously asked, "There's a saying that you shouldn't have the intent to harm others, but it's necessary to be wary of others. If I enter the ice prison, you won't lock me in, will you?"As soon as these words were spoken, everyone jolted, especially Aurelius. He had indeed entertained such thoughts because he had no idea when Kylian might arrive.What if Remus left before Kylian got there? Locking Remus up in the ice prison was a great idea!But Aurelius immediately responded, "Certainly not, Mr. Cosby. We genuinely wish to reconcile with you. How could we possibly engage in such despicable acts?""That's right, Mr. Cosby. Why would we do such a thing?""W
This made no sense!Soon, only Remus and Hudson were left inside the ice prison.Remus' expression became serious as he directly asked, "Sir Hudson, both you and Ms. Elena helped me leave back then. You're locked up here, but do you know where Ms. Elena is?"Of course, he knew that Elena was imprisoned later. After all, she did go to Boundless Island. But the main point was that she was imprisoned, and the other details didn't matter.Hudson still wanted to ask what exactly was going on and why Remus could command Monington's people. But, upon hearing Remus' question, he could only suppress his curiosity.Shaking his head, he said, "I don't know. After I was put in the ice prison, Elena never showed up. She's not in the ice prison."Remus asked, "Besides the ice prison, are there any other places of confinement in Monington?"The real reason he wanted Aurelius and the others to leave was so that he could ask Hudson these questions.Hudson shook his head again. "No. Monington on
Remus suddenly froze in place, his entire body breaking out in goosebumps.He had only ever felt this kind of overwhelming pressure from one person before—Ryunington's Saint Master. Could it be that he had arrived?"Remus…" Wilda and Glinda were about to speak when they saw him come out. But both only managed to say a single word before they felt an overwhelming presence and immediately fell silent. They instinctively turned to look.The gleam in Aurelius' and others' eyes grew stronger as they also turned.The sky above Monington, surrounded by a formation, seemed to split open, and a figure slowly emerged from the opening.He wore a sky-blue robe with his long hair flowing, one hand behind his back, and a hint of anger on his face. He looked like an Immortal descending to the mortal world."It's Shenington's Saint Master, Kylian!" Hudson was the first to recognize the person and couldn't help but exclaim.Saint Masters of the Four Great Sacred Lands rarely appeared in other sa
