To the old man’s surprise, he had not expected there to bea defensive
fomation in this place. However, the formation just now had only carried out a
simple defense and did not launch a substantial attack on the old man.
Although the old man did not know what level this formation was, he was
certain that it was definitely not weak.
With his many years of experience, the old man knew that he definitely could
not barge in rashly when faced with such a formation, otherwise the
consequences would be unimaginable. What the old man had not expected was
that this place actually had such a powerful formation. This was only a small
family clan.
The old man looked around, and as if he had discovered some useful clues, he
suddenly found the door in front of the Nicholas family palace. It was only at
the door that the protective barrier in the air had some gaps. Could this bea
hint to him?
This was really too strange. In the past 200 years, the old man had walked
through countless places, encountered countless people, experienced countless
things, and had never experienced such a situation. Could it be that he had to
walk through the door? This made the old man feel very embarrassed.
Actually, there was also a way not to go through the door, which was to
forcibly break open the formation. However, this method would go against his
original intent; it would look as if he had come here to cause trouble. Or, could
he ask the family head to personally undo the formation and invite him in?
This was naturally impossible.
On the ground, there was a group of people pointing at him and gesturing
The old man thought for a moment and finally made up his mind. He gently
patted his Divine Dragon Beast mount, which immediately understood. It
waved its wings and walked toward the door.
At this moment, everyone in the Nicholas family had learned that there was a
strange person riding a Divine Dragon Beast outside the family palace.
Everyone in the palace had been alerted.
The butler had received an urgent notification and quickly ran to the door to
see what was going on. The moment he stepped out, he saw the Divine Dragon
Beast at the door.
The appearance of the Divine Dragon Beast had caused such a huge
commotion. Not only had the Nicholas family members known about it, even
the neighbors who lived close to the Nicholas family clan also learned about it.
They had all come out to watch the flurry of activity. After all, the carcass of a
Divine Dragon Beast was very rare.
When the few guards saw the Divine Dragon Beast, they were simply stunned.
They did not know what to do until the old man sitting on the Divine Dragon
Beast walked down from it. This old man looked different from ordinary old
men.
Although the old man had a very powerful aura, which made one automatically
revere him, his entire face emitteda smile that made one feel as if he had been
bathed by the spring breeze.
He walked to the door and paused for a moment before he saw someone from
the Nicholas family leading a few people out of the palace in panic to see what
had happened.
When the leader saw the old man, a hint of confusion flashed past his eyes.
“John Nicholas greets Senior.”
John did not know the old man before him with the extraordinary aura, but
despite the distance, he could clearly sense the energy in the other party.
When the old man heard the other party’s words, the smile on his face
deepened.”This visit was very sudden. Please forgive me.”
“Your arrival has brought honor to the Nicholas family clan. I hope that Senior
can forgive us for our lack of etiquette earlier. Please come in,” John said
respectfully.
When the old man heard this, he was much more pleased. He followed John
into the Nicholas family palace. The Divine Dragon Beast was also very
obedient; it followed the old man in.
Even though the old man had already entered the palace, there were still
people discussing spiritedly about him and the Divine Dragon Beast beside
him. The news spread like wildfire. In just a few days, the news of a senior
riding a Divine Dragon Beast visiting the Nicholas family palace had spread
throughout Winterfrost.
Everyone knew a thing or two about the Divine Dragon Beast and the Nicholas
family whenever the topic was raised.
In the Nicholas family palace, the old man followed John’s lead into the center
of the palace. Although his expression was very calm, he kept muttering in his
heart, “This family is so strange, especially in the aspect of luck.”
The old man closed his eyes and sensed. He had not expected the luck of
everyone in the family clan to be unfathomable. This meant that everyone’s
luck could not be predicted.
Logically speaking, although a person’s luck was rather mysterious, there was
a general pattern to it, especially when the old man was very adept at
decipheringa person’s luck. He could tell a person’s luck with a single glance,
but the entire family clan actually had a special luck that could not be
fathomed.
This made the old man suddenly recall the few people he had encountered
earlier in the Noxy State who had special luck. He had not expected that in just
a few days, he would encounter such people again. In fact, he had seen more
such people than he had seen in two hundred years.
This family was really too strange.
When they finally reached the hall, John dismissed everyone. “May I know how
to address you, Senior?
“My name is Xi Bolai, and I’m from the Sky Fortune Academy,” said the old
man.
Xi Bolai?
John seemed to have instantly thought of something. He was very shocked.
John had only vaguely heard of the name Xi Bolai, but there was hardly any one
who did not know the Sky Fortune Academy.
This was a mysterious academy. No one knew where it was or how many
people were there. However, it was said that when they accepted a Mage, they
never looked at aptitude or talent. Instead, they looked at fate completely.
The people in this academy rarely participated in the struggles of other
academies, and the Magi in this academy rarely appeared. However, if the Magi
in their academy were to appear, it would definitely become a legend.
Legend had it that the Sky Fortune Academy could probe any secret, especially
the will of the heavens. Anyone who was a Mage of the Sky Fortune Acadeny
would not be an ordinary person.
If one could obtain their guidance, he would be able to easily avoid calamities
and obtain luck.
To John, these were all distant stories. He had not expected the person in the
story to appear in front of him one day.
In his shock, John regained a trace of rationality and wondered if the person in
front of hinm was lying to him. However, on second thought, there was no need
for the other party to lie to him.
“May I know why Senior is here?” John asked to clarify the purpose of his visit.
“Don’t worry, I’m just here to seek fate. As you know, our academy has always
conducted its affairs based on fate,” the old man said witha smile. “Ive
calculated that there is someone in your family clan who is fated with me. I
hope to take him in as a student.”
Xi Bolai looked around and said, “When I first arrived, there was a child playing
in the garden.”
