Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1599: Polite Decline
Chapter 1599: Chapter 1599: Polite Decline
"I’ve never heard of it before."
Facing Amelia Tyler’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes shook his head.
The Seven Terminating Sect, it was the first time he had heard of it.
Upon hearing this, Amelia sighed secretly, realizing she had been too sensitive, "Indeed, how could there be such a coincidence in the world... The first of the Seven Absolutes, ’Mist and Rain,’ is undoubtedly the most mysterious of them all. If it were so easy to encounter, it would be too unbelievable."
Thinking of this, Amelia didn’t ask any more questions.
Because she felt there was no need.
Initially, she had been considering that if Wyatt Barnes were indeed the heir of the Seven Terminating Sect’s first absolute ’Mist and Rain’, with the talent and strength he had shown, his future achievements would certainly not be inferior to those of her disciple Winnie Romero.
But now, realizing that Wyatt Barnes had no connection with the Seven Terminating Sect, she continued to hold onto her previous thinking, believing that Wyatt Barnes would eventually be left behind by Winnie Romero.
"Are you interested in becoming my personal disciple?"
Soon, Amelia straightforwardly said to Wyatt Barnes.
Her words momentarily stunned both Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero.
"With your talent and strength, the future is boundless... If you are willing to become my personal disciple, then the next Sect Leader of the Floating Flame Sect will be you."
Amelia promised while looking at Wyatt Barnes.
If it were someone else, Amelia would never make such a promise.
However, because of Winnie Romero, she was still very assured of Wyatt Barnes. A man admired by her disciple must not be deceitful, and inheriting the Floating Flame Sect should not be an issue.
Hearing Amelia’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but furrow his brow and glanced at Winnie Romero.
"You need not overthink."
Seeing where Wyatt Barnes’s gaze landed, Amelia naturally guessed that he thought she was unwilling to pass the position to Winnie Romero. She continued, "The path Winnie is destined to take is different from yours... In the future, there’s no chance she will inherit the position of Sect Leader of the Floating Flame Sect. Her stage is not limited to the Fletcher Kingdom."
In her words, Amelia was full of confidence in Winnie Romero.
At the same time, she indicated that the position of Sect Leader of the Floating Flame Sect was not fitting for Winnie Romero.
Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes finally withdrew his gaze.
"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader Amelia, but I already have a master."
Wyatt Barnes politely refused.
Since he inherited the supreme Sword Dao technique "Supreme Heart Sword" left by Sword Saint Breezy Wind, he had regarded Sword Saint Breezy Wind as his master in his heart.
Originally intending to say more, Amelia, seeing Wyatt Barnes’s firm gaze, decided not to waste her breath.
Having been in the world for half her life, she naturally understood what Wyatt Barnes’s gaze meant. It meant that even if she talked until she was blue in the face, Wyatt Barnes would not be willing to join her under her tutelage.
For a moment, she felt quite disappointed.
However, although disappointed, she did not intend to force it.
"You need not worship me as your master."
After a moment, Amelia seemed to make a significant decision and continued, "As long as you join our Floating Flame Sect, you need not acknowledge anyone as your master, and I will use the best cultivation resources to nurture you... And you can still become the Sect Leader of the Floating Flame Sect in the future."
It was clear that Amelia truly valued Wyatt Barnes’s talent.
"Sect Leader Amelia, I’m afraid I cannot fulfill your wish... because I don’t plan to stay in the Fletcher Kingdom for long."
Wyatt Barnes once again politely declined.
Hearing this, Amelia furrowed her eyebrows slightly, but then relaxed them, and did not say anything more, only nodding slightly.
After ’confirming’ that Wyatt Barnes was not a person of the Seven Terminating Sect, and confirming that Wyatt Barnes would not join the Floating Flame Sect, Amelia lost interest in staying any longer. After bidding goodbye to Winnie Romero and Wyatt Barnes, she left directly.
For a moment, only Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero were left.
The two were full of curiosity about each other’s experiences.
Not long after, Wyatt Barnes learned from Winnie Romero about what she had been through over the past few years, starting from leaving the Cloud Skies Continent, to leaving the overseas Holy Island, and then to the Fletcher Kingdom’s ’Floating Flame Sect.’
Compared to his own bumpy journey, Winnie Romero’s path seemed much smoother.
"Brother Barnes, how about you?"
Winnie Romero asked Wyatt Barnes, looking at him.
Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes also shared his experiences from the past few years without any concealment, as there was no need to hide anything.
Including the fact that his two fiancées were pregnant and now missing, he also disclosed, showing a deep sense of concern on his face.
"Brother Barnes, the two sisters will surely be blessed by the heavens."
Upon hearing that Keer and Jovie Lee were pregnant with Wyatt Barnes’s children, Winnie Romero’s gaze flashed with a hint of envy, while she appropriately comforted Wyatt Barnes.
"Winnie, your father is now also in the Martial Dao Sacred Land."
Wyatt Barnes said to Winnie Romero, "After the incident at Crescent Island back then, he followed me to the Martial Dao Sacred Land..."
Wyatt Barnes also disclosed what had happened to Taoi Romero after arriving at the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
When she heard that her father had come to the Martial Dao Sacred Land, Winnie Romero couldn’t help but show a trace of joy. However, when she learned that her father was now missing, her heart was suspended in worry, and her face showed concern.
"Don’t worry, Uncle Romero is with my senior brother; nothing will happen to them."
Wyatt Barnes comforted her, "Moreover, the purpose of my coming to the Floating Flame Sect this time is also to make a name for myself... Because only this way, my senior brother will know that I have come to the Fletcher Kingdom and go to the Swayer Family in the Imperial City to find me. By then, Uncle Romero will also come to the Swayer Family with him."
Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Winnie’s heart was somewhat at ease, yet her eyebrows were still slightly furrowed with concern for her father, Taoi Romero’s safety.
"Winnie, I should be leaving the Floating Flame Sect tomorrow to return to the Swayer Family in the capital city."
Wyatt looked at Winnie and said, "Will you go with me?"
Winnie naturally wanted to go with Wyatt, but when she thought of her master, Amelia Tyler, she hesitated to agree immediately, "Brother Barnes, I need to speak with my master first."
Soon, Winnie went to find Amelia Tyler.
Amelia Tyler’s response was simple: she didn’t want Winnie to leave until she broke through to the ’Saint Realm,’ because the outside world was too dangerous.
Even with her deterrence, who knows if there would be some madmen out there who would take action against her disciple.
Seeing Amelia’s uncompromising posture, Winnie knew she couldn’t leave the Floating Flame Sect until she broke through to the ’Saint Realm.’
Moreover, she knew her master was doing it for her own good.
"Saint Realm?"
Wyatt nodded after learning Amelia’s response, "Sect Leader Amelia’s decision is understandable... Since that’s the case, Winnie, you should stay in the Floating Flame Sect for now. Once you have broken through to the ’Saint Realm,’ then leave the Floating Flame Sect to find me."
"Of course, in the meantime, whenever I’m free, I will come to the Floating Flame Sect to find you."
Seeing Winnie’s reluctant expression, Wyatt added another sentence, slightly easing her reluctance.
"If Uncle Romero comes to the Swayer Family, I will bring him to see you as soon as possible."
Seeing Winnie part her lips as if she wanted to say something, Wyatt spoke first, because he knew Winnie would certainly talk about her father, Taoi Romero.
Hearing Wyatt’s words, a smile appeared on Winnie’s face.
As the saying goes,
A gentleman would die for a friend who knows his heart, and a woman would make herself beautiful for her lover.
A woman, besides making herself beautiful for her lover, would also do so for her confidant.
The next day, Wyatt Barnes left the Floating Flame Sect together with Beau Swayer and Jordan Swayer.
When they arrived, the disciples of the Floating Flame Sect were extremely indifferent to them.
But when they left, the disciples did not dare to neglect them. Of course, it might also be because Winnie was present.
In the eyes of the disciples of the Floating Flame Sect, Winnie Romero was undoubtedly the next Sect Leader, and no one wanted to risk offending her.
"Winnie, go back."
Wyatt said to Winnie with a smile.
"Brother Barnes, I’ll leave after you do."
Winnie said.
Wyatt gave a wry smile but said nothing more, turning with Beau Swayer and Jordan Swayer. Before long, they vanished into the horizon, disappearing from Winnie’s sight.
Only once Wyatt was gone did Winnie reluctantly withdraw her gaze and return to the Floating Flame Sect.
"Mr. Barnes, what exactly is your relationship with that Miss Romero at the Floating Flame Sect? The way she treats you is just like she treats a lover."
On the road, Beau Swayer could no longer suppress the gossipy flame in his heart and couldn’t help but ask.
Faced with Beau Swayer’s inquiry, Wyatt merely smiled and didn’t respond because he didn’t know how to reply.
At this moment, his feelings were complex.
In his heart, he had already accepted Winnie Romero, but now, when he thought of his two fiancées being missing, he had no mind for anything else.
Realizing that Wyatt didn’t seem willing to talk, Beau Swayer changed the subject, "Mr. Barnes, after your decisive victory over Miss Romero yesterday, your fame will likely spread throughout the Fletcher Kingdom before long... By then, if your senior brother is in the Fletcher Kingdom, he will surely hear about your deeds."
"By then, he will surely come to the capital city to find you."
Beau Swayer said.
"Let’s hope so."
Wyatt nodded, hoping things would go as smoothly as that.
As Wyatt Barnes, Beau Swayer, and Jordan Swayer returned to the capital city, the distant Hanson’s manor gradually settled down.
However, the peace was only superficial.
As the former elder of the Hanson family, Juan Hanson, whose only grandson was killed, certainly wouldn’t rest easily, "Whoever you are, for killing my grandson, I will make you pay with your life!"
Juan Hanson’s eyes glinted with a bloody hue, as if transforming into a bloodthirsty demon in that instant.
At the same time, Karina Hanson’s group also returned to the Cloud Skies Continent and the Crimson Heaven Kingdom.
Soon, they learned of the ’clues’ Wyatt Barnes had left behind from his acquaintances.
