He did not want to give the pills to anyone. He just wanted the girl he loved to have it, even if the girl no longer belonged to him."Look at my dear disciple."Among the crowd from the Azureton Sect was an old man with a goatee. He had a gloomy smile."Amelia, Clifford called for you, go quickly." He pushed the girl.The girl's eyes were dull, and she walked toward Clifford with a blank expression.Clifford looked at her, and his heart melted."Amelia, how are you doing these days?""I... I'm fine." Amelia said blankly."Did they bully you? Tell me if they did, I will avenge you!" Clifford's eyes reddened.Amelia shook her head. "No, Master was very kind to me, and he will teach me cultivation methods at night."Clifford did not trust Amelia's claims. Hector Hubbert, his master, used force to take Amelia away, even though she loved him. He did not believe Hector did not hurt Amelia."That's good to hear. In the future, if I'm not around, you must take good care of yourself
"However, since you want evidence, I shall provide them."Ashton pulled a tiny silver dart from his pockets and threw it straight at Amelia's head before everyone could react."Ashton, you—" Clifford looked at him in panic."Don't you feel like she's acting differently? Even though I don't know her, I can see at a glance that she's in an abnormal state. Her eyes are unfocused, and her actions are rigid, dull, and stiff," Ashton said.When Clifford frowned, Ashton smiled and said, "She was bewitched.""If I'm right, that should be witchcraft. Your master is controlling Amelia. She will show unconditional loyalty and obedience to the person who did the hex. This cultivation technique has been banned in Xenagoras for a long time. I did not expect the Azureton Sect to dabble with these things."Clifford was furious when he heard that. He glared at Hector. "Why are you doing this to Amelia? She listens to you already. Why did you need to hex her?"Many in the crowd were from other se
Cayson slapped Amelia, and she flew in the air, hitting the rocky mountain pass. Blood started to drip down her head in an instant."Amelia!"Clifford's face dropped. He ran to Amelia's side, holding her tightly."Clifford, please believe me. I didn't change my mind. I wanted to protect my family, but I wanted to protect you too." Amelia was dying, but there was a smile on her face.She seemed relieved."Amelia, stop talking, I know everything." Clifford cried.A man would not cry at failure nor in the face of death. However, seeing his beloved woman dying in his arms, Clifford could barely control his emotions. The pain was like a stone hitting his heart; he could not breathe."Amelia."To command Amelia, Hector reapplied the hex.Amelia, lying in Clifford's arms, stiffened, and the life of her pupils slowly disappeared."Master...""I order you to die now," Hector said indifferently."Yes, Master."Amelia drew a knife from her pocket and stabbed it toward her neck withou
Hector bowed his head respectfully. "Someone here has slandered the Azureton Sect with rumors. Therefore, I am here to settle the scores. Once resolved, we will resume our journey and arrive at the conference on time."Wade nodded, turned his gaze, and saw Cayson with broken iron pieces lodged all over his body. He could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly. "What a cruel method to hurt others."Then he glanced at Ashton again. "What sect are you from? Don't you know that the Azureton Sect is affiliated with the Willows Shape Will Sect?"His words implied that anyone who opposed the Azureton Sect was his enemy.Many people held their breath.Wade would speak for Azureton Sect. That kid was unfortunate. He thought he could handle the Azureton Sect, but Wade's arrival changed everything."It's over. It's really over for him. I didn't expect Grandmaster Willows to stand up for the Azureton Sect publicly. Now, this is really over." Master Macall shook his head frantically.Lilah
Everyone held their breath."A few years ago, a sudden change in the Imperial Capital caused Ashton to lose his mind and make an irreparable mistake, and this mistake got him exiled from the family."In other words, now, Ashton has nothing to do with the Levin family," Fenix said with a smile."What? Ashton? He's Ashton?""Isn't he the one Grandmaster Willows had challenged to a duel?""I thought Grandmaster Willows was about to fight against an unknown martial arts master. I wanted to come and admire a duel between actual masters, but I did not expect..." Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.Wade was stunned when he heard the name. "He is Ashton?""Grandmaster Willows, you challenged him to a duel. You don't know what he looks like?" Fenix said with a smile."Huh." Wade did not care. "I never look at my opponent; everyone is the same to me."Fenix gave a thumbs up. "The confidence of the strongest man in Southern Lindorm is extraordinary."Then, he looked at Ashton ag
"Is he human?"The people watching Ashton's punch flatten the mountain were about to drop their jaws in shock.Even Clifford's mind blanked."Do you think that was all I can do?"An unprecedented force broke out from Wade's elixir core. The ground exploded, sending rocks flying over in all directions.Wade condensed his strength on his right hand, swung at the rocks, and slapped Ashton with a palm."Grandmaster Willows, kill him!" Cayson roared frantically. No one wanted Ashton to be dead more than he did.His hatred for Ashton was deep.However, all that hatred turned into desperation in the next second.Ashton caught the deadly blow of Wade's whole body with one hand.Cayson thought Ashton's eyes flickered with gold light.Was he human?"You are too weak—I did not expect a grandmaster to have so little to offer. You may be worthy of my true strength if you are stronger." Ashton slammed Wade's head into the ground, then kicked him off the cliff.The whole process was cris
"The New Year has just passed, right? Many of my friends have been talking about a gathering. I have skipped it for many years, but I'm running out of excuses for this year. I want you to accompany me and act as my husband."Ashton laughed and asked, "Why a husband? Can't I go as a friend?"Kendra's face darkened. "I told them I was married to avoid some annoying people, but now they want to meet my husband."Where can I find a husband so quickly? I can't settle for ordinary men."Ashton, just do it. Accompany me this once...""Okay, okay, I'll do this. Stop it." Ashton smiled bitterly.He could not stand Kendra acting cute in front of him."Do you want to change clothes? Is it appropriate to wear this to a party?" Ashton pointed to his clothes."What's wrong with this? I think this looks good. I'm sick of seeing suits and ties all day."Ashton smiled indifferently. "As long as you don't think I'll embarrass you.""No, I'm happy." Kendra was delighted. Even though none of tha
"Never been to school?"Everyone's faces suddenly changed.In that day and age? Never been to school? It was simply absurd."Is this your way of refusing to answer my question? It's okay. Let's sit down and have some drinks. Just to warm up a little. Me and Reynard are good talkers," Beckett said politely.He patted, made room, and invited Ashton to sit."You misunderstood. I really haven't gone to school, let alone heard of any Scanfort Research Institute. My medical skills are self-taught, and I don't even have a medical qualification certificate. But Kendra saw me for my worth," Ashton said generously.Beckett's expression stiffened. "Kendra, what is this?"Everyone looked to Kendra for an answer.Kendra grabbed Ashton, sat on an empty sofa, and leaned on his shoulder. "Does it matter? You guys are too bound by rules and regulations even to meet the right person, and you complain in the group chat all day that you can't find love."Beckett and Reynard looked at each other.
