John recalled carefully. Wasn’t the child playing in the garden Anthony?

A Mage from the Sky Fortune Academy had personally come to the door wanting to take in a disciple. This matter was a supreme honor for any family clan. The entire family clan would be proud of this.

Unexpectedly, John did not feel this way. Instead, he was strangely calm. This calmness was as if he had become numb to everything. Xi Bolai had not expected John’s reaction.

John thought for a moment and said to Xi Bolai, “The fated person you’re talking about should be my little great-grandson. His name is Anthony.”

“anthony, what a good name. Hahaha.” Xi Bolai laughed heartily. He did not expect John to remain calm.

If he had been overwhelmed by joy earlier, he should have reacted by now, but John still looked surprisingly calm.

In order to ease the awkward situation, Xi Bolai continued to ask, “What do you think about this matter of me recruiting a student?”

An awkward expression appeared on John’s face. “Senior, thank you for your love for the family clan and for your affinity with my great grandson. However, I’m really sorry. On this student recruitment matter, it is really beyond Anthony’s blessings. I hope you can understand.” In order to express his most

sincere gratitude, John stood up and bowed.

Xi Bolai could no longer keep a straight face. He had definitely not expected to be rejected after having painstakingly found the fated person.

This had never happened before. The other party had rejected him without even understanding the benefits of being his student. This was really illogical.

Xi Bolai felt that the other party might not know his identity, but this was also not right. Even if he did not know him, he would have known the reputation of the Sky Fortune Academy.

Could it be that a dignified Mage from the Sky Fortune Academy could not even take in a student, and was even rejected so outrightly?

There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation. Xi Bolai did not know what to say. Amidst the awkwardness of being rejected, he felt a little regretful. After all, he had spent a lot of effort and energy to calculate this fate.

He knew that if he had to wait for the next fate, it might be hundreds of years. It had not been easy for him to wait till today, but he had not expected such an outcome.

This was an outcome that Xi Bolai would never have expected.

“Family Head, why have you rejected me? Do you know the Sky Fortune Academy? I’m not lying to you. Your little great grandson and I are really fated. Moreover, entering the Sky Fortune Academy will only bring benefits to him, not harm. He will definitely become a genius in the future. I wonder if

Family Head should reconsider.” Xi Bolai tried to fight for it again.

What he had said was not just empty talk. After all, the name of the Sky Fortune Academy was a bonus to anyone.

The reason John had rejected Xi Bolai was not because he had doubts about the other party’s true identity. However, John had weighed the pros and cons. Anthony had a better choice, and that was to receive the guidance of the Old Ancestor. He believed that it would not be inferior to the Sky Fortune

Academy, and might even be better.

It was common for someone to come personally to the family to take in students. John had also mastered the ability to refuse people, and he was very firm in his belief.

“Tm really sorry, Senior. Our ancestors had instructed us not to acknowledge outsiders as our teachers. I hope you can understand, Senior.” In order not to upset Xi Bolai, John used the ancestral teachings to convince him.

“You are not allowed to acknowledge outsiders as your teacher? Is this an ancestral teaching? This is strange.”

It would have been better if he had not said this, but after he had said it, the expression on Xi Bolai’s face became even uglier. He suspected that John had fabricated a lie at the last minute to fool him. However, after looking into the other party’s eyes, he realized that it did not look like a lie.

Could the ancestral teachings of the Nicholas family be so strange? It was really baffling.

However, thinking back, this family clan was very strange. For example, when he came in earlier, the luck of the entire family clan was ‘unfathomable’, and then there were even strange ancestral teachings.

It did not make sense for him to be fated with such a strange family. However, since the other party did not want to become his student, he could not force him. However, Xi Bolai would not give up easily.

After all, with his style of doing things, he would not force others to do things, but he did not want to waste this fate for nothing. Hence, Xi Bolai planned to consider this matter carefully.

Perhaps good things often come with many setbacks. This was God’s test for him.

“In that case, I won’t force it. I’m really sorry to have disturbed you so abruptly, but I have something else I would like to ask the family head for help with. I am really too tired from the long journey here. May I rest in the palace for a few days?” Xi Bolai said sincerely.

“What’s going on? Could it be that because he has failed to recruit a student, he is preparing to stay here indefinitely? I didn’t expect this old man to be such a scoundrel,” John thought silently, but he did not dare to show it on his face. After all, the other party had a reputation.

“That’s naturally good. It is our family’s honor that you can stay in the palace for a few days,” said John. After all, nothing serious would happen if he stayed for a few days. At most, he would just wait till tonight to see if Old Ancestor would visit him in his dream.

All of this could not escape Romo’s eyes. He also became suspicious of the old man’s identity. “Don’t tell me he’s here to deceive, a Mage from the Sky Fortune Academy?” Romo muttered to himself.

After all, the arrival of Xi Bolai had also shocked Romo. He had not expected the descendant of his family clan to have such affinity to make a Mage from the Sky Fortune Academy come personally.

However, Romo thought about it again. Anthony’s luck level was that of a ‘Son of Destiny’, so this was normal.

However, Romo only knew a little about the Sky Fortune Academy. This was an academy with prestige mixed in with mystery. Even some of the top academies had great respect for the Sky Fortune Academy.

This prestige had come from the ability of the Sky Fortune Academy to see through the mysteries of heaven. This ability was more terrifying than the combat strength of any academy.

And the Sky Fortune Academy had a very long history. It had existed from ancient times until now.

However, the Sky Fortune Academy was too mysterious. The Magi of the academy rarely went out. Even Romo, in his previous cultivation as a Mage for a hundred years, had never seen a Mage from the Sky Fortune Academy.

“However, since you have chosen my descendant, then the two of you are naturally not fated to be together. After all, I am going to personally nurture my descendant.”
