Ian did not believe that Moana would reject his conditions.
As long as it was an average person, it would be impossible for them to refuse his offer.
Moreover, Ian thought he did enough.
As the sect’s elder, Ian could humble himself and apologize to Leonardo, which proved his sincerity.
Ian stared at Leonardo, waiting for him to nod.
The rest of the elders present were also confident that Moana was the Dark Moon Sect’s disciple.
They were also feeling excited, and they could not help but imagine how great it would be if they were Richard.
After all, entering the Dark Moon Sect implied that the road to immortality would be smooth, and one would not need to go through so many obstacles.
At that time, Moana was still deep in thoughts and did not immediately reply to Ian.
Instead, he looked around his surroundings as if he was searching for someone.
Not long after, Moana smiled at a slender person in a light yellow dress.
“I thought you won’t be coming.”
Following Moana’s line of sight, the crowd saw a young lady with a gentle and quiet temperament standing not far away, looking at Richard.
“It’s the Heavenly Stars Sect!”
“It’s Josua Pine from the Heavenly Stars Sect!”
Immediately, a few people recognized the talented girl who rose to fame in recent years.
Ian remained silent and flashed a smile.
Nonetheless, he did not think that Moana would choose the Heavenly Stars Sect.
Even though the Heavenly Stars Sect’s status in Earlington of Efrax was on par with the Dark Moon Sect’s, the Heavenly Stars Sects focused more on inscriptions and formations, and it would not be a big help to Richard.
Some people were sanctified through magic, while the others were through their gifted physiques.
However, since the ancient past, no one was able to be sanctified through inscriptions or formations.
Those two paths were not great roads, and they were not in line with Moana‘s ambition.
Hence, Ian was confident that Moana would still choose the Dark Moon Sect.
Since Moana already noticed her, Josua did not continue to hide, and she directly walked toward Richard.
Then, she smiled and said, “You did great.
I saw it all.”
After a pause, Josua continued, I’I know you’re ambitious.
Since you’ve already decided, you should make your choice.
No matter what sect you enter, I’ll always support you.”
Although Josua said that, Moana could still see the slight trace of reluctance in her eyes.
After all, Josua believed Moana was taught by the so-called crippled master, and he was her junior.
Nonetheless, Josua was aware that Moana‘s ambition was not on inscriptions nor formations.
Hence, she would not request anything from Moana but only support and give him her best wishes.
For the sake of not affecting Moana’s decision, she did not even inform anyone of their senior-junior relationship as Josua was worried that she would bring him unnecessary trouble.
Soon, the surroundings fell into silence, and everyone waited for Moana to make the final decision.
After all, that was the first time in the past 20 years that someone was being fought after by various sects during the Sects‘ Recruitment Ceremony.
Moana looked around.
Josua appeared sorrowful, whereas Ian seemed to be confident.
Then, Moana took a deep breath in and turned to Josua.
“Josua, I’m sorry for making you worry for so long, and I want to thank you for your constant help.”
“Good luck…” Josua’s lips quivered.
Without even realizing it, she got misty-eyed.
“No matter what you choose, you’ll always be my junior.” Josua’ s voice was so soft that only she and Moana could hear it when she said that.
Later, Moana turned to Ian, and Ian’s eyes immediately lit up.
Ian could not help but blurt out, “Casper, I can guarantee that the decision you made today will be the most important one in your life.
This represents…”
“I’m sorry, Master Ian.” At that time, Moana suddenly interrupted Ian.
He also did not give Ian any chance to react, and he said loudly, “I hope you can understand my stand.
