Chapter 278
The tense atmosphere suddenly made it difficult for people to breathe.
Since Jessica was taken under Chloe’s guidance, Chloe always showed her love and care, and Jessica was never once scolded.
Hence, that was the first time Jessica met such an oppressive force.
After a moment of silence, Jessica’s body swayed slightly, and she slowly lifted her head.
Then, with an unprecedented determination in her tone, Jessica replied to Chloe, “Master Chloe, the person that I want to meet is a really important person to me.
Not only in cultivation but also in my life.
He made me understand that in this life, the right person might never appear.
Thus, I want to live with the expectation that such a person will appear in front of me tomorrow, and at the same time, I also want to live as if the person will never appear in my life.
It’s because he made me understand this truth that I can practice at the Dark Moon Sect with peace of mind.
Moreover, I’m certain that he’s the person I firmly believed in, so I need to see him.”
Jessica paused for a moment and added, “I… Miss him.
I’m so sorry, Master Chloe.
I hope you can let me meet him.”
After saying that, Jessica raised her head and bravely looked at Chloe.
Even though Jessica knew that her request was overboard, she had to do it.
Initially, Jessica thought Chloe would rebuke or even reprimand her severely, and she was even ready for the worst-case scenario where Chloe would prevent her from going anywhere.
Unexpectedly, Jessica saw Chloe smiling.
In that instant, Jessica was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
“It’s good that you’re aware of the purpose of your visit, and that made me relieved,” Chloe smiled and replied, “I also know you’ve been training hard this period, and it’s also beneficial for you to go out and put them to use.
Besides, an old friend of mine in Heavenly Stars Sect recently ascended, and I’ve yet to congratulate them.
Why don’t you bring along my gift for them?”
”Master Chloe… You’re allowing me to go?” Jessica could not believe her ears.
“Have a good trip and come back early!” Chloe chuckled, “Why don’t you leave in the evening? Stop by my place before that to pick something up.”
“Okay!” Jessica was so excited that she almost burst into tears.
At that moment, she did not want anything, but to hurry over to Heavenly Stars Sect, stand in front of Caspian, and surprise him!
Eight days soon passed by, and Caspian walked out of the Star-Refiner Valley.
The disciple in charge today was not the one who attended Caspian before, but when the guy saw Caspian, he was still stunned, and he felt as if he looked at a towering mountain.
In the last eight days, Caspian successfully practiced the Stars Overlord to the second level of the Clear Jade Form, catching up with his current realm.
When he returned that time, Caspian first received enlightenment from Delmont, growing his state of mind.
Then, he trained the Stars Overlord, improving his realm at the same time.
As Caspian’s strength imperceptibly skyrocketed, he was not comparable to ordinary apprentices.
Hence, it was only natural that the disciple in charge felt insignificant.
After leaving the Sky-Refiner Valley, Caspian directly walked out of the Heavenly Stars Sect entrance.
There were only ten days left until the upcoming competition, but Caspian chose not to continue training or make the final sprint as he had something more important to do.
Three days later, Caspian appeared at the foot of the mountain at Mirefield Gate.
The traces of the bloody baffle was covered by the silver snow, and the Heavenly Stars Sect also arranged for their disciples to clean tip the monsters Caspian killed.
At a glance, everything was snow-white, and it appeared extremely pure and flawless.
If it were not for Caspian personally experiencing the major battle himself, he would not have believed that a gruesome and tragic fight happened here two months ago.
As Wesley and the others’ corpses turned into the essence of the world, and there was no way to find them anymore.
The reason Caspian came here today was to fulfill a promise!
Not long after, a one-story tall stone stele was erected not far from the Mirefield Gate.
That way, any carriages passing through that path before getting to the Mirefield gate would surely see the stele.
Regardless of the passengers being mortals, warriors, or even cultivators, they could read the words written on the stele.
“Heavenly Stars Sect’s Wesley Young, Individual Cultivator Zachary Cole, Individual Cultivator Tanya Autumn, Soaring Spirit School‘s Scott Jenkinson, Imperial Heart Sect’s Elijah Ackers.”
Caspian personally engraved those names on the stone stele as he believed writing them himself was the only way to express his respect to those seniors.
Caspian did not mention the specific details, but he thought the passengers on board would surely spread the matter.
With word of mouth, everyone would surely remember those names.
After setting up the stone stele, Caspian quietly stood in front of it, not moving at all.
The snow fell heavily in the valley, and it did not take long before Caspian was completely covered in snowflakes, turning into a snowman.
At that time, Caspian had a hunch, and he turned around to find a young man stepping out of a carriage.
The man was wrapped in a thick jacket, cradling a baby, and when he saw the stele, he was first surprised.
Then, as he saw the names written on it, the man quivered, and his eyes turned red as tears started streaming down his cheeks.
“Tanya…” The man mumbled, and the tears kept falling.
Soon, the man started to wail and cry his heart out If he did not see it for himself, it was hard for Caspian to imagine that a guy could cry so miserably.
The baby in the man’s arm was woken up from the man’s cry.
When the baby saw the sobbing father, they were confused.
Then, the baby made some noises and reached out their hands as if trying to comfort the father.
At that time, Caspian recognized that the man was Tanya’s husband, an ordinary mortal guy.
If it were not for the wave of monsters and dire situations, that guy would probably never have expected that his gentle wife was a cultivator.
Then, Caspian approached them.
The man saw Caspian and seemed to have recognized him, and he exclaimed, “You’re the guy that day… You… You’re still alive! This is great! This is amazing! Praise the Heavens!”
As he said that, the man walked forward a few steps as if he wanted to pat Caspian’s shoulders.
However, he swiftly recalled Caspian’s identity, and his hands hung in mid-air.
Should he pat Caspian? It was awkward to retract his hands now too…
Caspian walked closer to the man and acted as if he did not notice his awkward movements.
Then, Caspian lowered his head to look at the baby in his arms, who had porcelain skin with pink undertones, and their alert eyes looked at Caspian curiously. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Is it a boy or a girl?” Caspian smiled and asked.
The man retracted his hands and hurriedly answered, “It’s a girl…”
For a mortal, it was a great fortune for a cultivator to speak to them, so they must be extra careful.
“Have you named her?” Caspian asked again.
“Not yet… ” the man’s voice became lower, “Initially, I planned to discuss the name with her mother when I return this time, but…”
Before the man finished, he choked on sobs again.
“I know you’re sad, but Tanya protected her husband and daughter, and those were the people she loved the most in this world,” Caspian looked at the man, “If you were required to make sacrifices to protect your wife and daughter at that time, would you be willing to do that?”
