“Mr. Xu Jing, please speak, I’m all ears,”
Upon hearing this, Link immediately adjusted his sitting posture to show more seriousness.
Mr. Xu Jing looked directly into Link’s eyes and seriously said, “Great Sage Mitchell has already reached an agreement with the Celestial Court, with the Court helping him to advance in rank, and in return, he plays the role of a bridge between the Celestial Court and the Supreme Council. This matter was not supposed to fall to him, but unfortunately, after my last visit to your universe at the Supreme Council, they decided to sideline you from Ravensmouth College.”
Pausing for a moment, Mr. Xu Jing emphasized, “Wizard Grande, you came to our universe a bit late. The Celestial Court could not stand by and let the Supreme Council profit unilaterally forever. It was necessary to take action and thus decided to court Great Sage Mitchell. If you had come four or five days earlier, you could have enjoyed the support that Great Sage Mitchell is now receiving. The magnitude of this support is immense, with resources alone being enough for two Level Nine Great Sages to attempt to ascend to Saints. Not to mention, the Celestial Court will also ensure Great Sage Mitchell’s successful promotion.”
Upon hearing this, although Link was naturally moved, his face remained impassive as he calmly asked, “Mr. Xu Jing, what does this have to do with me?”
“You missed an excellent opportunity, which is truly a pity,”
Mr. Xu Jing answered Link’s question with a sigh of regret.
Shaking his head, Link said in a deep voice, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. The greater the support enjoyed, the bigger the price to pay. I don’t think it was an excellent opportunity; instead, I believe it would become a restraint and hindrance. If I had really come four or five days earlier, I probably would not have agreed to accept the Celestial Court’s support.”
After a slight pause and in a softer tone, Link nodded and said, “However, I still want to thank Mr. Xu Jing for your kind intentions and concern.”
Mr. Xu Jing gave a slight smile, graciously accepting Link’s thanks.
At that moment, Mr. Xu Jing tilted his head slightly as someone was sending him a message through telepathy, and he listened intently.
A moment later, after Mr. Xu Jing finished listening, he stood up and said, “Let’s go, Wizard Grande. The discussion with the Ancestor Heavenly Master and Saint Lotesno is over. I will escort you out.”
“Alright,”
As the host led, Link rose and left the great hall.
Once again, through a space traversal via a light gate, Link met up with Lotesno, and with Mr. Xu Jing’s send-off, they left the Heavenly Master’s Mansion.
Mr. Xu Jing remained in the Heavenly Master’s Mansion, without coming out again.
Having each gone through some conversations, Link and Lotesno had matters to ponder carefully.
Neither of them was in a rush to talk, continuing on in silence.
Lotesno even took out a starship, carrying Link away from the planet and into space.
After an extremely complicated setup, Lotesno initiated the highest-level anti-eavesdropping and anti-peeping measures.
Link watched Lotesno’s actions in silence, sitting and waiting.
Waiting for another conversation to arrive.
After being busy with preparations, Lotesno sat opposite Link, remaining silent for a long time.
Just as happy times are always brief, silence is always broken.
With a serious expression and a slightly low voice, Lotesno began, “I’ve come around.”
“Hmm.”
Link nodded briefly in response.
“I agreed to a condition set by the Ancestor Heavenly Master.”
“Hmm.”
“Don’t you want to know what condition?”
“No.”
“Not even if it’s a condition related to you?”
“No.”
“Hmph! Whether you want to know or not, I’m going to tell you,”
Lotesno gave Link, who was completely uncooperative, a glare and let out an annoyed growl.
Link stretched the corners of his mouth in a feigned smile.
Since Lotesno had started setting up anti-eavesdropping and anti-spying measures, Link knew that the comportment befitting a reincarnated Saint had disappeared. Still under the influence of the “Metamorphosis Period,” Lotesno began jesting again.
It was a wonder if the Saint of Nostrodamus, before he reincarnated, was also of such a teasing character and playfully mischievous disposition.
The contrast was indeed significant.
“Fine, fine, it’s no fun not to be able to trick you, not fun at all,”
Lotesno waved his hand, his ears drooping down in obvious dejection.
“Let’s talk business, or I’m leaving,”
Link said coldly, unimpressed.
“Leave? Where would you go?”
Lifting his head, Lotesno asked curiously, “Aren’t you going to accompany me for a bit longer? I still have a certain light to find.”
“That’s your business. Besides, times have changed. Initially, I was worried that I would bring trouble to Jasmine and chose to accompany you aimlessly. Now, whether I go or not, Jasmine will face great trouble, so of course, I want to return to her side.”
Link detailed his reasoning.
After listening, Lotson stopped his playful antics and started to contemplate seriously.
As the reincarnation of the Mysterious Sage Wizard, specializing in prophecies and curses, when Lotson concentrated deeply, it was akin to making a prophecy.
Shortly after, Lotson snapped out of his deep focus, his brow slightly furrowed in displeasure, “Indeed, my dear sister-in-law is about to encounter great trouble, and this trouble will affect me as well. Quite annoying.”
Link remained silent.
The prophecy from the Saint of Nostrodamus was something Link really did not want to hear anymore.
Even though the Saint of Nostrodamus was a thing of the past, the one making the prophecy now was actually the reincarnated Lotson Grande.
Lotson, pushing down his displeasure, changed the topic, “If my precognition is not mistaken, you should listen to what I promised the Ancestor Heavenly Master.”
“Why?”
Link was puzzled.
“Because the best way to help my dear sister-in-law get out of trouble lies within the condition I agreed upon with the Ancestor Heavenly Master.”
Lotson chuckled, his tone smug, “What kind of person do you think I, Lotson, am? How could I possibly make a losing deal?”
Upon hearing this, Link glanced at Lotson oddly and without hesitation retorted, “You got duped by the Will of the Wizard World, free labor for three tasks. And you agreed to another condition with the Ancestor Heavenly Master to find the stars. Truly a big profit, utterly winning, aren’t you!”
The proud expression on Lotson’s face instantly froze, as if he had heard the sound of being deflated.
It was as though a knife had pierced directly through his heart.
Talk about bringing up what one is least willing to hear!
Not the slightest bit of tact!
After glaring fiercely at Link, Lotson said irritably, “Are you going to listen or not? If you’re not, then I won’t tell you. Let’s see how you’ll help your wife!”
“I’ll listen.”
“Then prick up your ears and listen well.”
“Okay, they’re pricked.”
Lotson cleared his throat with a light cough and said solemnly, “The Ancestor Heavenly Master asked me to keep an eye on that fellow Mitchell. If he tries to pull off some outrageous stunts, I need to discover them promptly and inform the Ancestor Heavenly Master right away.”
“Great Sage Mitchell?”
Upon hearing this name, Link couldn’t help feeling skeptical.
Link did not know, nor did he want to know, what the Ancestor Heavenly Master and Lotson had discussed; he took Lotson at his word.
However, just after Mr. Xu Jing timely revealed the collusion between Great Sage Mitchell and the Immortal God Tomorrow Court, Lotson mentioned that the Ancestor Heavenly Master wanted him to watch Great Sage Mitchell.
Could this be a mere coincidence?

The Heavenly Master’s Mansion, led by the Ancestor Heavenly Master, must have ulterior motives.
As for what those motives were, Link dared not guess.
Pushing aside the medley of thoughts in his mind, Link decisively adjusted his focus, shifting his attention to the issues relevant to himself, and asked, “Speak plainly, what does the great trouble Jasmine is about to encounter have to do with you keeping an eye on Great Sage Mitchell?”
“Hmm?”
Lotson leaned back and asked with a puzzled look, “The great trouble that my dear sister-in-law is about to encounter comes from Mitchell, that old rascal who dares to snatch my position. Don’t you know?”
“I guessed as much.”
Link responded nonchalantly.
“Since the trouble stems from that old rascal Mitchell, it’ll be easy to handle.”
“How so?”
“Borrow a knife to kill.”
“Borrow whose knife?”
“Whoever has a knife, we’ll borrow theirs.”
“I’m afraid you might not be able to borrow one.”
“Then I’ll wield the knife myself.”
“You?”
Link scrutinized Lotson up and down, shook his head, and pursed his lips in silence.
Lotson felt he had been insulted!
