Chapter 76
But, the big sect geniuses had a completely different reaction.
“ONLY SIX MONTHS? HE WAS DEAD FOR AT LEAST TWO OF THEM! ARE YOU TELLING ME HE WON MY GODDESSES’ HEART SO QUICKLY?! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT!”
Lehabim boomed, “DYON, I DON’T CARE WHO YOU ARE. I CHALLENGE YOU TO A MATCH!”
“LEHABIM! SILENCE!” Boomed a fiery haired elder, “Don’t mind my disciple little one. He’s a bit hot headed.”
The mouths of the other elders twitched, ‘Who do you think he got it from? You voice was even louder than his…’
The elder of the Wind Blade sect shook her head and continued.
“You have no need to participate in this tournament, little one. Neither do the other seeded geniuses. We will grant you entry to the Legacy World Opening. If you’re keen on fighting, I am sure there will be many battles in the legacy world as you compete for the treasures.
“It’s only a shame that you missed the Elvin world, if you had access to those fruits it would be greatly beneficial. But, I’m sure your master left you with many things to replace that.”
Dyon watched on as these elders fawned over him with no small bit of disgust in his heart. Anyone looking on would think these elders to be amiable and caring… but where was this caring attitude when thousands of their students were getting slaughtered?
Despite this, Dyon nodded his head.
“Then I’ll listen to you elder. There’s only one thing I have left to take of here,” Dyon said faintly.
Dyon turned to the Sapientia family, causing Oliver to shiver. But, he sighed in relief when Dyon’s eyes didn’t seem trained on him.
Dyon laughed, “Don’t worry big brother Oliver. Although I can’t promise Madeleine will forgive you, I want you to know I have. How could I make her choose between her brother and me?”
Madeleine’s parents breathed a sigh of relief. The last weight on their chest had been lifted.
Madeleine harrumphed, “Why would I want a big brother like him?”
Oliver smiled bitterly but said nothing. What he didn’t hear was Madeleine whisper…
“Thank you Dyon…”
Dyon smiled, “Didn’t I say there’s no need for thanks between us?” Dyon’s voice was carried by his will of wind, hiding it discreetly.
Madeleine, though, still felt endlessly swirling emotions within her. Forgive her family… even if Dyon allowed her a chance to do exactly that… For some reason, she couldn’t bring herself to.
Finally, Dyon’s eyes trained on a seemingly ordinary old servant lady, causing her eyes to widen in shock.
“I assume you’re from the Sapientia Family main branch?” Dyon asked faintly.
The old lady was silent for a moment, before she looked to Madeleine. A sweet voice that seemed like it couldn’t possibly come from her rang out.
“You’ve found quite a good partner little Madeleine.”
Madeleine trembled, “M-master?”
The appearance of the old lady slowly changed. Her hunched back became straight. Her wrinkled skin became younger. Soon, a woman just as beautiful as Madeleine appeared causing the Sapientia family to be overcome with shock.
Madeleine’s parents immediately rushed to her and bowed deeply, “Branch Sapientia family members greet Elder Sapientia.”
The crowd was stunned.
“Elder Sapientia?”
“She looks like she couldn’t be more than 20.”
“What’s going on?”
The elder nodded, before slowly rising into the air.
The big sect elders were trembling.
‘I can’t sense her cultivation,’ They all thought at once.
Finally, she appeared before Dyon and Madeleine. Madeleine released Dyon’s hand and leaped forward, hugging her master tightly.
The elder stroked Madeleine’s hair, “It’s okay little Madeleine. I missed you too.”
Dyon smiled at this scene.
After a few moments, Madeleine finally composed herself. Dyon created another array formation for her to stand on, shaking his head.
‘This girl is crazy… she just leaped into the air, completely forgetting she had no cultivation and we were 20 meters up.’
After Madeleine was back to Dyon’s side, the elder turned a curious gaze towards Dyon, “What’s your purpose for exposing me?”
“Well, for one, no matter what I say, I can’t always guarantee Madeleine’s safety. So, having everyone know my Madeleine has more supporting her than just a dead clan’s successor is nothing but beneficial. Secondly, although I would like to spend a while together with Madeleine first, I want her to return to the main Sapientia branch.
“I have plenty of resources to support her even if our needs were multiplied by thousands, but, I will be headed to dangerous places and hunted by dangerous people. I want you to understand that Madeleine is almost all I have in this world, having the backing of a God level Clan like the Sapientia family is a good thing.”
The elder nodded in agreement, impressed with Dyon’s understanding of the situation, ‘It seems he’s not only hot blooded.’
The elder had been previously disappointed in Dyon when revealed his origins. Though they hadn’t said anything, all their intentions to recruit him had faded with the wind. The only reason they had invited him to the Legacy World Opening was likely as a method of keeping tabs on him and keeping their relationship amiable.
It could be said that the moment Dyon revealed himself, he had become a target. However, in choosing to save Madeleine, he had already painted himself in a corner. He couldn’t exactly not to save the first woman to truly enter his heart… right?
“Thirdly, I have awakened Madeleine’s constitution to 100%. I guarantee that your Sapientia God Clan doesn’t have that capability and thus has no one with comparable talent to her. As such, having a wife who will soon be the leader of a God Clan sounds pretty amazing to me, doesn’t it to you?” Dyon grinned.
Although Madeleine was slightly sad when she thought of how many dangers Dyon would soon face without her, she steeled her resolve. She didn’t know a lot about the Celestial Deer Clan, but what she did know what that for an Ancient God Level Clan like them to be destroyed, their enemies must have been powerful. If she could help Dyon by becoming an influential figure in the Sapientia God Clan, she would do it.
