Fane chuckled as he slightly raised his chin. "What's so frightening about a person who only knowshow to parade his power and fight without converging his thoughts?"
Elder Godfrey nodded at Fane's comments about Griffin; they were no doubt accurate. "In thatcase, why do you look rather troubled? Is something occupying you?"
Fane did not hide his thoughts and nodded. "My thoughts went to the Second Elder because ofGriffin. What the Second Elder said on the round platform has left a deep impression, and I feel thatit’d be difficult to handle him. I didn't say this in hopes of causing you trouble. I just think that it'srather unwise for you to offend both elders at the same time. The First Elder is fine, but the SecondElder is difficult to handle."
Fane spoke with such sincerity that Elder Godfrey nodded. He naturally took what Fane said into hisheart. He moved over and looked at Fane before stretching out his hand to slightly pat Fane on hisshoulder. "I know you mean well with what you said. In fact, I've already made the necessaryconsiderations and you're right. Compared to the First Elder, it's much more difficult to handle theSecond Elder. However, I'm really unlucky. As the Eleventh Elder, I’m a person who's capable ofdisturbing the peace. The Second Elder will still do something
against me if he isn't completely certain that he can gain my support. If so, then I have nothing toworry about. Since the two of them will do something to me sooner or later, why should I bend totheir will?"
Fane nodded softly. His eyes flickered as a hesitant expression appeared on his face.
Elder Godfrey glanced at him and said softly, "I know what you're thinking, but I don't wish to be alackey. I didn't practice martial arts to listen to others. If I choose a side now and become a lackey toone of those two, that'd be going against my way of practicing martial arts. This is something I cannever do."
A slightly imposing look appeared in Fane's eyes. He admired how Elder Godfrey handled things.He would rather become their enemy or hide far away instead of becoming their lackey and dothings for them.
Elder Godfrey sighed softly. "I've involved you in this matter by accepting you as my last disciple,but I have no choice but to do this as our relationships might be discovered sooner or later. Insteadof waiting for them to take action against you by then, I'd rather take you in earlier. This can beconsidered as providing you with protection, and I can help you gain lots of benefits."novelbin
Elder Godfrey smiled bitterly and continued, "I know that my actions might bring disaster, but I nolonger care about that right now. Once I think that I'm unable to stay here, I will leave the DualSovereign Pavilion. I investigated you as a person, and I know you're rather like my character."
Fane nodded at that. "I'll follow you if you truly leave the Dual Sovereign Pavilion,” he declared, andElder Godfrey nodded gratifyingly.
The two of them picked up their respective cups and took a sip. Fane laughed bitterly and shook hishead as if he had remembered something.
Elder Godfrey glanced at Fane in surprise and asked," What are you laughing at?"
Fane answered, "I’m thinking of how the Thousand Leaves Pavilion and Corpse Pavilion's uppermanagement will react when they meet each other on the day we enter the Secret Place forResources.
That’d be very memorable, I’ll say. The enemies meet one another, but they can’t do anything aboutit. They can only hold all their anger in their hearts...”
Elder Godfrey arched his brow and slightly thought about it. He placed the teacup down and saidseriously, "You're wrong; we won't be meeting one another.”
