Chapter 2389: Chapter 2387: Accepting an Apprentice Chapter 2389: Chapter 2387: Accepting an Apprentice He too had his own story to tell, but his position forced him to relinquish much–a necessity by circumstances.

Just as Ethan Smith and Chad Wilson were about to leave, Ella Jenkins suddenly appeared in front of them.

“Ella Jenkins, what are you doing?”

Chad Wilson’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The matter had already come to a conclusion, but with Ella Jenkins’ arrival, the atmosphere grew tense again.

“Over the next hundred years, the Leiming Academy Celestial Tomb will be open to both the Wilson family and the Taylor family. I am aware of the agreement between Holy Lord Taylor and the Wilson family to foster Daniel Wilson. Emily Taylor will extract five drops of her blood essence, which should be sufficient for Daniel Wilson’s use.”

Ella Jenkins stated her terms.

Finlay Taylor and Chad Wilson exchanged glances, both catching a glimpse of incredulity in each other’s eyes.

For the sake of Saintess Taylor, Thunder Courtyard was willing to pay such a price.

One must know that the immortal grave was the greatest secret of Thunder Roar Academy. If the higher-ups of the Taylor family entered the tomb, they would gain sufficient knowledge of the cultivation skills left by Immortal Emperor Eden Garner, significantly diminishing the competitive power of the academy.

Just as the Wilson family cooperated with the Taylor family, offering the Wilson Family Immortal Scripture, it essentially signified that the core interests of both families were now intertwined. Moreover, after a brief perusal, it had already provided Finlay Taylor with great enlightenment.

“Still not enough.”

Finlay Taylor shook his head.

“Add the Quasi-fairy artifact Suo Lin, give it to him,” said Ella Jenkins loudly to Ethan Smith.

Ethan Smith was stunned for a moment before he responded. He wiped his own imprint from Suo Lin and then flung it toward Finlay Taylor without any hesitation.

“It really is a Quasi-fairy artifact; the Fire Qilin inside even absorbed a trace of the Vermilion Bird Saint Beast’s flames. It is indeed a terrifying magical artifact.”

Chad Wilson probed Suo Lin with his divine sense and then slightly nodded in approval.

Finlay Taylor wanted to say more, but Ella Jenkins emitted a powerful fluctuation from her body, her overwhelming aura instantly enveloping the two men.

“I once missed an opportunity, and now I don’t want anyone else to have the same regrets. I believe Thunder Courtyard has shown enough sincerity and given both families considerable respect. If Holy Lord Taylor still refuses, then don’t blame me, Ella Jenkins, for not extending enough hospitality.”

“Heh, threatening us in front of me and the Family Head of the Taylor family? It seems no one in this world has the right to do so.”

Chad Wilson crossed his arms over his chest, staring coldly at Ella Jenkins with a sneer.

“If the two of you refuse to give face, then I will have no choice but to erase you both.”

A vast power of Time and Age surged from Ella Jenkins, this force, tenfold stronger than when she had just battled Finlay Taylor.

The emergence of this force caused the complexions of both Chad Wilson and Finlay Taylor to change drastically, especially Finlay Taylor’s, who keenly felt that even a mere wisp of the power of age forced him to consider using a celestial artifact.

If such a massive force of age struck them, he had no confidence that he could withstand it.

“Thunder Roar Academy really has such audacity; I’ve taken note.”

Finlay Taylor waved his hand, and Emily Taylor was released from the Divine Destiny Pagoda, then the two immediately vanished from the spot.

“Ethan Smith, are you alright?”

Emily Taylor grabbed Ethan Smith and, seeing his bloodied body, surmised what had happened. She fed her robust spiritual energy into Ethan Smith, healing the injuries within his body.

“I’m fine.”

Ethan Smith, holding onto Emily Taylor, approached Ella Jenkins and Edwin Garner and knelt before them, solemnly kowtowing nine times. Emily Taylor knelt alongside him.

He knew the enormous sacrifices they had made this time.

“Thank you, Dean Garner, Ella Jenkins. Your kindness to me is like that of parents reborn, and I, Ethan Smith, shall be forever indebted.”

He said with a choked voice.

“Ha ha, you little rascal, the price paid for you two this time is not small, so I will have to charge interest on these things.”

“From now on, my life belongs to Dean Garner and Grandma Jenkins.”

Ethan Smith wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes, only in front of them would he allow himself to cry so recklessly.

Edwin Garner stroked his beard and released Salena Carpenter.

He had been afraid that this little girl would go mad, so he didn’t dare to release her. Now that the matter was resolved, he could finally let her out.

“You old fart, I’m so moved! You and Grandma Jenkins were so cool today. When you die, I’m going to smash a pot for you, I promise!”

Salena Carpenter’s eyes were red as she climbed onto the back of Edwin Garner and wiped her nose on him, just now she almost thought that Emily Taylor was going to take her away.

She didn’t expect that, in the end, everything would take such a dramatic turn, leaving her crying bitterly.

Suddenly, she bit down hard on Edwin Garner’s neck, causing him so much pain that he almost passed out.

“You crazy child, that’s so painful.”

Edwin Garner was almost in so much pain he would faint, frantically shaking but unable to shake off Salena Carpenter.

“There’s no need for that, get up child. Actually, most of it was also for myself, to resolve my own regrets.”

Grandma Jenkins pulled up Ethan Smith and Emily Taylor. She lifted her head and gazed into the distant azure sky.

Edwin Garner, standing behind her, imperceptibly shook his head. That Grandma Jenkins of those times must have hoped that there would be someone to stand in front of her, but sadly there was none.

It was not until late into the night that everyone dispersed.

As Ethan Smith and the others left, the wrinkles on Grandma Jenkins’s face sunk deep like ravines, and even the black hairs on her head instantly lost their color, as if she had aged hundreds of years in an instant.

“Grandma Jenkins! You!”

The color drained from Edwin Garner’s face.

“How can the Power of Time and Age be so easily controlled? Using it inevitably leads to backlash against oneself, but if today’s actions could complete Ethan Smith and Emily Taylor’s needs, then it makes up for my past regrets. This bit of passed time means nothing to me.”

Grandma Jenkins waved her hand, evidently not taking it to heart.

How could the strongest person under Immortal Emperor Taylor from the Taylor family be easily defeated.

The next day at noon, Edwin Garner and Grandma Jenkins arrived at the small courtyard where Ethan Smith and Emily Taylor were resting.

Cough cough cough cough cough cough!

Edwin Garner’s throat was almost broken from coughing, and only then did the two awake.

“Dean Garner! Grandma Jenkins!”

Emily Taylor’s face blushed as if water was about to drip from it, as she gently paid respects to Edwin Garner and Grandma Jenkins.

“Ethan Smith, he hasn’t woken up yet?”

Edwin Garner looked into the distance, pretending to ask casually.

“I’ll wake him up.”

Emily Taylor fled as if mad.

Actually, nothing happened last night, the two of them just hugged and fell asleep.

Perhaps it was because of the intense pressure before that they didn’t expect to fall into such a deep sleep, so much so that when Edwin Garner came to the front door, the two of them hadn’t woken up for a long time.

“Emily, I’m asking if you’re willing to be my disciple and enter my mentorship.”

Grandma Jenkins stared at Emily Taylor and asked seriously.

“Although the Yan Family Immortal Scripture has quite a few differences from Thunder Roar Academy’s theories, the path of cultivation ultimately leads to the same goal. Beyond tribulation, it mostly relies on personal enlightenment and one must have their own path. What I can offer are some suggestions and guidance.”
