266 Lakewood Academy and House Moonwin (1/2)

Hearing Knight, the smile on Martian's face disappeared as he sighed.

”Of course I hate that guy David but my junior sister Tilly loves him and betrothed to him, so if you had killed him, you would have not only made yourself a powerful enemy out of Moonwin, you would have also broken my junior sister's heart”

As he said, he gestured at Knight and Lia to walk into the tunnels to search for more treasures.

”Since you're new here, David, you may have not known the tension between House Moonwin and other great houses, they need an alley”

”So if your junior sister married him, Lakewood will be their ally, are you sure that Dexter really is in love with your junior sister?”

In Knight's mind, this marriage thing seemed more like strategized by the Leaders of Housemoonwin rather than based on true love. He had seen his fair share of forced and planned marriages for the sake of a sect's reputation or wellbeing as the Elders and old people tend not to think about whether the girl or boy likes their soon to be life partner, they often gave them no choice.

Martian took another deep breath and revealed a hard smile

”I can only hope the best for her, David”

He understood Knight as he too had the same doubt but he knew that he can't change Tilly's heart.

”How did you find me?”

”It's a funny thing, Father actually said that you'll get into trouble and told me to keep an eye on you, hehe. Just like he said, you did try to kill Dexter, and I assume the dead guys in the stone room was your handy work”

”I told them to get out but they insisted on robbing me and Mia, you know the rest”

”So Mia is your”

Martian dragged out the sentence but everyone knew that he's asking her whether she's his girlfriend or not.

”She's my friend, I brought her here to help her get some real world experience”

”I understand, David”

Martian slightly nudged his elbow and revealed a bad boy grin as Knight smiled and shook his head.

”So David, you want to come with us or search the tomb alone because I'm getting a serious lone wolf vibe from you?”

”What happened to keep an eye on me?”

”Just pretend I'm watching you and try not to kill Dexter, if push comes to shove, just beat him to near-death. Although House Moonwin is powerful, I seriously doubt they have the reach to find you in the Avelon Continent”

Knight halted his steps as he was surprised by Martian

”Of course I knew David, I remember all the prodigies in whole Evelon continent including the rogue ones but you, my friend, is not on my list, so you obviously came from the other three continents, thus I took a guess and looking at your surprised look, it seems like I'm right”

”Well you got me there and you're also right about me being a lone wolf”

Looking at Martian and his friends, he chuckled as he nodded. Although he had already obtained quite a harvest, he had yet to find the life shard which was the sole purpose of his trip here. If he was unable to find it, he wouldn't be able to bring Don back from death.

As for grouping up with Martian and the rest, he was somewhat reluctant in his heart. Perhaps, Martian was a nice guy and seemed friendly, he could not travel with them since they might slow him down and get in his way again.

Martian was also rather clever, when he heard Knight, he knew that the latter didn't like to travel in a group. Thus, he could only softly sigh as he said: ”Since you are determined to do this alone, go ahead. But try to keep in my what I said”

Knight slightly smiled as he nodded his head. He waved his hand at Martian and his friends, before starting to walk away from them. Nearby, Lia also quickly gave a small nod as she stepped on the black sword. Together, they transformed into a bolt of lightning as they directly rushed towards the passageway leading to the deeper part of the old tomb.

”Why are you so nice to him?” As he gazed at Knight's leaving figure, one youth behind Martian could not help but ask in a low voice.

”Its something called making friends, Rick, a powerful one”

”What do you mean Mart?”

Martian turned his head and patted Rick on the shoulder as he said

”My father believes that in a few years, David will be a major player in the world of cultivation, my father hasn't been wrong yet and he's not going to start now”

Knight and Lia knew nothing of Martian's conversation. After he entered that passageway, the scene before him widened once again as an extremely spacious area appeared before his eyes. This huge area was filled with numerous gigantic wooden poles, and these poles seemed to soar towards the sky as they stood close together, creating numerous paths lined with wooden poles that curved and twined. No one knew where these paths led to.

They were also taken aback by this sudden change in scenery. As he took a couple of steps forward, he discovered that there were some brownish limb-like objects on the ground. He picked one up and inspected it, it seemed to be a human's broken limb, however, this broken limb was bigger than a normal human limb and was remarkably heavy. Evidently, it was cast from high-quality metal and mud-like substance, and on the surface of the broken limb, there seemed to be some mysterious symbols.

”This is a Golem. Some cultivators like to create them for entertainment. They can also be used to guard houses” While he was staring in a daze at this thing, Lia's voice sounded near him.
