Meeting with the group of outer disciples who won the honor of the state religion for Heavenly Stars Sect, Keanu’s eyes stayed on Caspian for a while longer.
However, Keanu’s attitude was not enthusiastic but rather a warning.
Through Keanu’s words and actions, he seemed to be reminding Caspian not to feel proud because of the achievement that time and to be sure to guard against arrogance and impatience.
Instead, he should concentrate on cultivation.
These words sounded sarcastic, but Caspian still responded respectfully.
Nonetheless, he was also a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, it was the first time he met Keanu, and with Keanu’s hectic schedules, he should not be so concerned about Caspian, a mere outer sect.
That being the case, why did Keanu seem to be unhappy with him?
As they left Spiritual Palace and headed to the capital of Earlington of Efrax, Caspian quietly asked Maisie, who he had a good relationship with.
Maisie’s answer was as expected – Keanu belonged to the Heavenly Stars Sect’s conservatives.
“He’s a conservative, and my teacher is in the neutral faction.
Even if he wants to trouble someone, he should find Xander,” Caspian said helplessly, “Xander’s teacher is Leonard, Who’s radical.”
“Did you forget about Adrian?” Maisie giggled and reminded Caspian.
Caspian blinked, instantly understanding what went on.
Adrian’s teacher, Frankie, was a conservative, and everyone knew about Adrian suffering horribly in Caspian’s hands.
Therefore, Keanu’s attitude toward Caspian was more or less an outrage for the younger generation of their faction.
After realizing it, Caspian could not help but secretly mutter, “The conflict between Adrian and I was originally caused by him.
Not only are the conservatives unwilling to figure out their problems, but even the outstanding figure has come to bully the weak.
It’s tough to feel good about these conservatives.”
Maisie seemed to see that Caspian was worried, and she comforted him softly, “Elder Keanu can take charge of the Civil Administration Court because he does things fairly.
His attitude toward you just now was not deliberate.
Maybe he’s just reminding you, but he won’t take it to heart either.
Hence, you don’t have to worry about him tripping you up.”
“Yes, I know that.” Caspian nodded.
The afternoon passed quickly.
In the evening, the lights were lit up everywhere in the Royal Palace of Earlington of Efrax, making it as bright as day.
Goblets flashed from hand to hand in the wide courtyard, and the atmosphere was vivacious.
Sitting in the banquet, Caspian suddenly felt that he returned to the time when he feasted with the ministers in Salleria.
In the courtyard banquet, everyone drank and chatted, and there were bursts of pleasant sounds music playing in their ears.
Everything felt familiar for Caspian, and he thought, ‘It’s been so long…’
As the winner of the nation’s official religion election, Caspian and his fellow sectmates were naturally seated in the main seats.
At that moment, he could feel the jealous gaze from all around him, which was more prominent among the Blue Feather Sect disciples.
The reason was straightforward, the Blue Feather Sect was determined to win, hoping to be re-elected.
Yet, they lost to Heavenly Stars Sect in the first round.
