63 Learning from A Master Teacher (1/2)
*** Warning ***
This Chapter MIGHT contain spoiler of Library of Heaven Path (Chapter 701-702). It could tell a bit about the method used by Zhang Xuan, but it was similar and not 100% the same. I want to show Trevon used his knowledge from his novel in a his trouble. I took some time to remove detailed spoiler of LoHP events. So if you don't intentionally remember for Chapter 701-702, it should be fine.
My edit cut some but also added some it went from 2.900~ into ~3.400. Lol.
***End of Warning***
Trevon went to the dining room in his house. He felt it was a correct decision to purchase the house. [If I don't move here, Raina must already order me around.]
Ten minutes later Issabella came. Aya informed her that Trevon had prepared some breakfast.
The girl didn't make any difficult foods. She cooked a rice porridge. Aya's porridge was simple compared to the foods in the dining hall, but Trevon's love this simple food. It reminded of his mother. Trevon could smell the fragrant chicken aroma from the porridge.
Trevon put a spoonful to his mouth. He could taste the savory taste of chicken stock between the hot porridge. The meat also juicy and gave the right flavor. Aya also used deep-fried dough sticks as a topping which gave the crunchy texture to the porridge.
”This is good.” Issabella praised. She had tested Aya's loyalty to Trevon. Her appraisal of the girl increased by a notch.
Trevon had to agree. Aya's had some talents in cooking. Trevon wished that the girl had some talents in fighting. However, potentially having a Rank 4 cultivator as a follower was good enough for him. Her loyalty also passed the temptation tests a few times.
”Do you always wake up this late?” Issabella chided Trevon. The grand elder didn't see her grandson.
”Hahaha. I slept late Yesterday.”
”What are you doing in the room?”
”I helped Master Creator created something.”
”Well, you are lucky a powerful master wanted to teach you. You should learn more from him. Even if you could only manage to reach Rank 2, as long as you have some skills, you could get people's respects.” Issabella didn't dare to ask about what Master Creator created.
”See? You should pay your kowtow to me. This had been forty-eight chapters since our meeting and you haven't paid your kowtow.” Master Rabbink complained.
[I am still testing your product.] Trevon refuted. [All top stores would never afraid to give testing period.]
”Well, you are correct. The Universe Store is the number one store in the entire universes. Gwahahaha.” Master Rabbink felt proud. It was truly confident about its lesson.
Trevon still ate without responding to Issabella's suggestion.
”What? You didn't listen to me?” Issabella felt annoyed.
”Yes, Grandma.”
”What grandma? If there is nobody from the family, call me elder sister.” Issabella didn't like to be called grandma. She even had just ranked up, she had just more lifespan and younger body.
”Yes, Elder Sister.” Trevon could only obey.
”So, what are you going to do today?” Issabella asked. The bored grand elder found her grandson was interesting. He had a powerful backer with Master Creator followed him, and also a loyal maid with potential.
”I plan to purchase some martial arts.” Trevon decided. ”I also want to look for the money from Redwood family.”
”Yes, they should act fast. My ranking up must have been heard by them. They wouldn't dare to delay the payment again.” Issabella was also a Peak Rank 3. The genius of her generation was confident to say that she was the strongest people in Redwood.
The two continued their conversation. After the breakfast, Trevon went outside with his grandmother and his bodyguards. Berger went to prepare the kids.
Trevon wanted to level up as soon as possible. He had started to feel that he could level up. After Trevon got the destiny path cultivation technique, he knew about impurities. Cultivators would occasionally remove impurities from their bodies. That process was the level up in Scout information. It was far easier and more often than Rank up.
Trevon visited the family pavilion early in the morning. He wanted to know whether he got the money from Redwood family. When he entered the pavilion, lots of elders quickly surrounded his grandmother. They all congratulated her for her Rank up. It was a big celebration for the McArthur family. The family had another Peak Rank 3 warrior.
Trevon was taken by Raina. She had been waiting for him.
”Hey! Stupid cousin! Your sword is really worth two million spirit stones?”
[Raina must have heard this from Olivia.]
”Yes, my grandmother purchased it for me! You can ask her.” Trevon dared to lie. He had some backing this time. Nobody would dare to bully Issabella beloved grandson. She was a Peak Rank 3 warrior this time.
”Olivia asked me whether your request still works? She wanted to help her brother. Leon was punished because two million spirit stones were a big number.”
”That I would reduce the price by half?” Trevon was tempted. However, with his grandmother, he couldn't accept it without consulting with her.
”I need to talk with my grandma. You have heard about her character.” Trevon said.
”Tell me your decision! She was waiting for your answer.” Raina left Trevon. She joined the group who congratulated his grandmother.
From this, Trevon also knew that Redwood family hadn't paid his compensation. If they did, Olivia wouldn't ask Raina's help for this.
Trevon visited the internal department. He wanted to ask about the next recruitment process. He needed the recruitment both for his mission and also to get his allowance next month.
[That's father of mine was really annoying.] Trevon forced himself to meet Hendrik.
”I have completed posting the posters two days ago.” Trevon reported his work to Hendrik.
”Yes, your guard named Jonathan reported it to me. Here is the schedule for the recruitment! It would be three days from now in the field next to McArthur Redwood Hall. You should arrive thirty minutes before the test.” Hendrik gave some documents to Trevon.
”Your uncle had asked me to put you as one of the people in charge of administrations.”
Trevon didn't like to be in administration, but it also allowed him to check the recruit first. ”I will be on time.” Trevon took the documents.
Trevon returned to the lobby. He didn't saw his grandmother. From one of the pavilion employees, he knew that the group who congratulated his grandmother had moved to the inner room. The family received many quests in the lobby daily. It took thirty minutes before Issabella could come to her grandson again.
”Have you already obtained the compensation?” She asked.
”Erm... Grandma...” Trevon started to talk about his desire to have Olivia as a painting model.
”You already have this beautiful elder sister. Do you still need that lady from Redwood family?” Issabella harrumphed.
Trevon knew what this meant. Issabella was still angry because of Viero's rejection yesterday.
”I will tell Raina then.” He ordered Jerry to send a message to one of Raina's maids.
Trevon decided to visit the Martial Art Arena. While he didn't have much money. He had enough to purchase some martial arts. Worst come worst, he would just beg his grandmother for extra allowance. The young master also could use his family name to ask for a delayed payment from the merchants.
”Where are we going?” Issabella asked. She followed her grandson.
”I am going to purchase some martial arts in the Martial Art Arena.” Trevon said.
”Martial Art Arena?” Issabella seemed interested. ”Let's watch some fights, today!”
Trevon felt helpless. His grandmother didn't understand the meaning of 'Let's'. For his grandmother, it was equal to 'we have to'.
They walked into the Arena. Trevon went to the ticket box first.
”What match do you want to watch?” A ticket seller asked Trevon and his group. The person knew that the group came from a cultivation family.
”Who is the best warrior in the arena today?” Trevon asked.
”That is the Masked Bear.” The seller promoted a warrior. He pointed to a poster of a well-built man with a bear mask. ”His match is always entertaining. The last fight, he managed to turn his bad position into victory.”
Trevon looked into the match schedule. Every day there would be numerous fights in the arena. The tickets were cheap. It was only one silver coin per person. Each dome had several hundred thousand of seats. Sometimes a big match would cost one gold coin per person.
However, the money from the arena didn't come from the ticket. It came from the gambling bet. People could put their bet on the winning warrior in several gambling boxes spread through the Martial Art Arena. The Arena was a huge income to the Redwood family.
[Masked Bear will fight with a newcomer Fatty Panda.] Trevon read the schedule.
”Isn't this too one-sided?” Trevon complained. Masked Bear was a veteran while the opponent was a newcomer.
”While Fatty Panda is a new fighter, he had managed to win ten fights undefeated. The management intentionally matched him with Masked Bear. Both are Peak Rank 1 warriors. The fight will be balanced and full of actions.” The seller promoted.
”I want a VIP Box then.” Trevon declared. He always used a VIP box when he watched in an arena.
”I am sorry, Young Master.” The seller felt some regrets. ”This is an anticipated match. All VIP boxes had already been booked.”
”What?” It was Issabella turn to be angry. ”Call that Viero! Tell him this lady wanted a VIP box!” The Grand elder showed the famous unreasonable lady from the McArthur family.
The seller was only a low employee for Redwood family. He didn't know who Viero was.
”I am sorry, Young Lady. I will call the manager.” The seller didn't dare to offend a cultivator.
Issabella used her Rank 3 aura. She pressured all people in the Martial Art Arena. This was her power as a Peak Rank 3 warrior. Even the matches on all dome were halted. Every contestant couldn't move.
Trevon was speechless, his grandmother was like this. However, he also enjoyed showing off. He put his fan and acted mighty behind Issabella.
Some silhouettes started to appear. They were Redwood family grand elders. Those grand elders were told to protect the place. Martial Art Arena was the biggest money makers in a city.
