If Maisie were present and saw that woman, she would surely ask in surprise, “Master, what are you doing here?”
Yes… That woman was Maisie’s teacher, one of the eighteen Heavenly Stars Sect’s outstanding figures, Dakota Wilde.
The middle-aged scholar she greeted was the current Heavenly Stars Sect’s person in charge and the figure that caught everyone’s attention in Earlington of Efrax, Hadley Forsyth.
Even though his name sounded feminine, Hadley was a masculine man.
He was among the top five in the entire Earlington of Efrax, a formidable figure in the peak third-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm.
“Dakota, it’s you!” Hadley smiled, “I just happened to be free today, and I decided to walk around.
I didn’t expect to meet you.”
However, Dakota did not believe him, and she went straight to the subject.
“Hadley, I’m sure you went down the mountain for someone.”
”You’re right!” Hadley nodded and admitted.
“How was it?” Dakota asked, and she appeared somewhat serious.
After pondering for a moment, Hadley answered her with a question, “Dakota, have you got in touch with him before?”
Dakota was stunned, and she did not know why Hadley asked that, but she still replied to him truthfully, “Casper was rumored to be Matthew’s disciple in the mortal world, but he didn’t formally enter the sect.
Hence, my disciple, Maisie, had been contacting him.
However, I haven’t met him yet…”
“That’s it…” Hadley nodded and asked, “Dakota, do you remember what Master used to tell us?”
Dakota was puzzled.
“Which one are you referring to?”
Hadley cleared his throat, saying, “Master used to say that the best way to understand someone is to meet them personally.
Then, you’ll know the person’s true colors, and anything you know from others is not accurate.”
“Hadley…” Dakota was speechless, “Just tell me if you’re unwilling to answer my question.
Aren’t you embarrassed to make up Master’s words…”
Dakota knew Hadley’s attitude for long, which was wiry she was annoyed and exposed him.
However, Hadley remained indifferent, and ire said, “Dakota, you’re wrong for saying that.
Why don’t you believe me, your senior? After all, I’m still the person in charge of the Heavenly Stars Sect, so why would I lie to you?”
“You would.” Dakota nodded.
Hadley was at a loss for words.
Then, as he felt helpless, Hadley had to mention his identity, “Dakota, I’m still the person in charge of the Heavenly Stars Sect, can’t you respect me?”
“Fine.
I’m sorry about that, Hadley.” Dakota bowed.
Without waiting for Hadley to say anything, she asked again, “Hadley, what do you think about Casper?”
Hadley smiled, and that time, he did not avoid Dakota‘s question.
“Dakota, you dealt with him before and gave him a mission to fight two disciples in three months.
Since you did that, it means you’re optimistic about him.
Hence, what you want now is an affirmative answer from me to strengthen your confidence, right?”
What Hadley said was exactly what Dakota thought.
“Hadley, you’re still good at reading other people as always,” Dakota nodded, “However, Maisie has a high evaluation for Casper, so I’m curious why he is still an apprentice now.”
“His aptitude is great, and he even had some secrets…” Then, after thinking about the following sentence, Hadley continued, “But I don’ t think he’s hiding them in secret, and I bet he’s unaware of them.”
Just as Dakota was about to ask what secrets Hadley talked about, he changed the subject.
