Tarlon was so frightened by Fleur’s gaze that he trembled all over, hastily dropping to his knees as he banged his forehead heavily on the ground, expressing intense fear and horror, “I deserve to die! I beg for your forgiveness, British Lord!”Fleur snorted coldly and scolded, “From now on, if you utter one more word, you can go back to Linix and guard our ancestral tomb!”The Griffins’ ancestral tomb was located in Linix.However, for the Griffin family members in the Qing Eliminating Society, if the British Lord ordered him to return to Linix to guard the ancestral tomb, it was tantamount to being exiled in ancient times. Once they went, they could only spend the rest of their lives there.Tarlon was extremely panicked. He slapped himself fiercely twice, continuously groveling and crying out, “I am guilty! I am guilty! Thank you for your forgiveness, British Lord!”Fleur ignored him and said lightly, “Go and make the arrangements as I’ve instructed!”“Understood, British Lord!
With that thought in mind, Fleur’s thoughts instantly wandered back to the year 1650, which was more than three hundred years ago.There was an inaccessible and forbidden place on Mount Tason. There were no residents at all within a hundred miles, and the reason was that there had been a bizarre miasma here since hundreds of years ago. The miasma lingered without dispersing, and anyone who entered would suffer from headaches, nausea, and disorientation. No matter which direction they went, they would eventually end up outside the miasma. Moreover, those who inhaled the miasma would suffer from severe headaches and nausea for several months, enduring extreme suffering. Some foolhardy individuals were even determined to explore the center of the miasma, and they ended up dying inside.As a result, over time, the people around the mountain kept their distance from this place and considered it an absolutely forbidden place.However, these people did not know that the center of this
So, the two followed Marcius into his stone chamber. Marcius pointed to two cushions in front of him and said to them, “Sit down.”When the two saw this, they sat with their legs crossed in front of him respectfully. Marcius then spoke up and said, “Although our fate is shallow, we are still master and disciples, after all. You both harbor the ambition to resist the Qing army, and as a fellow Oskian, I hope you can persevere in this cause and restore the glory of Oskia…”With that said, he took out two pills from his pocket and placed them on the stone table in front of the two. He then said calmly, “These two pills are the Eternal Pills that I mentioned to you before. Taking these pills can extend your lifespan to five hundred years. With these pills, I hope you can fulfill the cause of eliminating the Qing army.”Fleur was thrilled to hear that the pills in front of her were actually the Eternal Pill that could grant five hundred years of life. She thanked Marcius repeatedly, sa
“My destiny is not enough?!” When Fleur heard these words, she frowned and blurted out, “Master, what do you mean by 'my destiny is not enough'?”Marcius replied calmly, “You have not been on the path of cultivation long enough. There are many things that cultivators need to understand that you still do not comprehend. In the future, when you understand the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams, you will realize that people have various destinies, and destiny is the key to everything.”Fleur was surprised and asked, “Master, what is destiny?”Marcius explained, “Destiny is the foundation of a person. The specific destiny could be represented by heavenly stems, earthly branches, birds, or animals. Most people's destinies are represented by heavenly stems and earthly branches. Even the king was at best a polar fate going against fate, but in order to go against one’s destiny, one would need to have at least the fate of the tiger or python.”“Furthermore, there are higher destinies l
She knew that there was another meaning behind her master's words. He was implying that her character was not upright and righteous enough compared to Elijah, and there was still a big gap between them. This made her even more displeased.However, Elijah did not intend to accept the ring. He quickly refused, saying, “Master, you have already helped me too much. I cannot accept this ring…”Marcius smiled lightly and tossed the ring at Elijah. The ring suddenly disappeared in midair and appeared on Elijah’s finger the next second.Before Elijah could understand what had happened, Marcius spoke up and said, “Elijah, the ring has recognized you as its master. Keep it well. This ring might save your life if you encounter any unexpected events in the future.”After Marcius was done speaking, two cranes raised by him walked in. They stood on both sides of Marcius and constantly rubbed their necks against him as they made whimpering sounds.Marcius reached out his hand to stroke the two c
Fleur was also filled with anger, so she said coldly, “Elijah, you don't need to defend that old man anymore. Since he's already dead, you and I should take this Eternal Pill and improve our cultivation quickly. We should find the treasures he hid as soon as possible!”Elijah was extremely disappointed. “Fleur, from today onward, I am no longer your senior, and you are no longer my junior. From today onward, you are just a Griffin family member to me. I only acknowledge Flynn, and I have no more connection with anyone else at all!”Fleur immediately became anxious and blurted out, “Elijah, why are you so obtuse?! That old man lived for a thousand years, so why did he only give us pills to live for five hundred years? He's clearly holding something back from us and it’s something extremely significant!”Elijah waved his hand and said, “Forget it, Fleur. Our relationship ends today. I will stay here and mourn our master for three years, so you can leave on your own.”Fleur stomped he
Fleur was extremely shocked when Elijah disappeared in an instant.At first, she could not understand why Elijah had vanished into thin air. It took her a while to realize that the ring must have teleported Elijah to another place. This made her furious. She clenched her teeth angrily and exclaimed, “You old coot, you're so biased! You said that Elijah and I weren't qualified to inherit your legacy, but you gave him a treasure that can teleport instantly. Why don't I have one? Why not! Tell me! Tell me!!!”Only Fleur remained at the cave where her Master rested and where Elijah disappeared, and her hysterical screams echoed through the valley.After a long time, Fleur wiped the blood off her sword with an expressionless face, sheathed the sword back in her waist, and said coldly, “Elijah, from today onward, you and I are enemies!”With that said, she walked away without looking back and headed down the mountain. More than ten days later, when she rushed to Yorkshire Hill withou
Meanwhile, in the luxurious Champs Elys hot spring villa in Aurous Hill, the Ackers waited anxiously the entire day but did not see Charlie at all.They could not eat or drink all day, only wanting to see Charlie as soon as possible to confirm with their own eyes that he was indeed safe and sound.During dinner time, Albert and a few others arrived and entered the house. After coming in, Albert said to Christian, who came to open the door, “Mr. Christian, I have prepared some exquisite dishes for you all. These are all specially prepared by the chefs from The Heaven Springs. I personally supervised the ingredients and watched over them while they cooked. I asked them to make an additional small portion, and I've already tested it for poison. It's safe to eat!”Christian didn't expect that this middle-aged man, Albert, could be so meticulous in his work. He couldn't help but feel surprised and quickly expressed his gratitude, “Thank you so much for going through all this trouble, Mr.
