After saying that, the middle-aged scholar looked at Caspian with great interest, hoping to see the expected annoyance and anger.
However, Caspian appeared to be somewhat astonished and smiled sincerely.
“I’ll have to congratulate Xander when I go back then.”
The middle-aged scholar blinked as he looked at Caspian, thinking that it was strange.
This scene, was obviously wrong.
“You’re not angry?” The middle-aged scholar asked with curiosity.
“I’m not.” Caspian shook his head.
”Not even the slightest bit? Tell me the truth.” The middle-aged scholar was unwilling to let this go.
Caspian frowned.
“Why would I be angry? Who am I supposed to be angry with?”
These questions stunned the middle-aged scholar.
Caspian was right… Who was he supposed to be angry with?
It was Leonard’s right to accept a disciple, and Caspian would not be able to interfere with Leonard’s decision.
As for Xander, he would not have known that he was selected.
Hence, there was no point in getting angry at him.
The middle-aged scholar blinked and chuckled.
“Not bad.
I’ve given so many hints before, yet in the end, it‘s not you.
Don’t you even feel slightly unhappy?”
Caspian noticed how concerned the middle-aged scholar was with this issue, so he gave it a thought.
After a while, Caspian answered, “I’m a little surprised and disappointed, but Elder Leonard surely has his own reason to choose Xander as his disciple.
I’m somewhat sad, but there’s no point for me to be angry.”
Then, Caspian smiled.
“Moreover, I believed that Xander won’t be arrogant just because he’s selected as an elder’s disciple.”
“Hmm…” The middle-aged scholar nodded and stared at Caspian.
Based on his life experiences, he could tell that Caspian‘s words were sincere, and this was what he appreciated of Caspian too.
Everything must not go against his conscience.
If a cultivator wanted to go far in the journey of immortality, opportunity and talent would only be a part of it.
Still, the cultivator’s sincere choice would be an important aspect too.
If everything went against the cultivator’s conscience, it would inevitably leave obsessions, anger, and even resentment in the heart.
These emotions might be temporary, and no effect could be seen yet, but once the cultivator ascended in the future, these emotions would attract the demons in his heart, causing him to be consigned to eternal damnation. More importantly, by following the cultivator’s conscience, he could reach enlightenment, and with enlightenment, he could go a long way in cultivation without any hindrance.
“Good… Good…” This middle-aged man looked at Caspian and nodded a few times, baffling Caspian.
What was this guy doing shaking and nodding his head here?
Suddenly, the middle-aged man changed the topic and asked Caspian, “Since Leonard doesn’t want you to be his disciple, would you like to be my disciple?” Then, he saw Caspian’s doubtful look, and the middle-aged man tidied his shirt and straightened his back.
“I’m Hadley Forsyth.”
As soon as he said that, the clouds and mist around the abyss suddenly dispersed, bursting into a thousand rays of light.
Caspian was dumbfounded.
‘Hadley Forsyth!’
How could he not know the name!
The Heavenly Stars Sect’s handler and a peak third-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator!
In the entire Earlington of Efrax, Hadley was definitely ranked in the top five in combat skill! Such a figure was actually standing in front of Caspian, wanting him to be his disciple?
