Chapter 2272


    “Huff!” Quintina heaved a sigh in relief.


    She turned to James and scolded him, “Do you have a death wish? Why would you joke about


    something like that?”


    James said with a yful smile, “What if I say it’s true, but I turned your father down?”


    Quintina was stunned.


    She felt that James was not lying since her father had mentioned it to her before.


    “You turned him down? Why would you turn him down?”


    Quintina stared at James, then scanned herself, saying, “Is it because I’m not pretty enough? Or am I


    not charming enough? Or is there something about me that isn’t worthy of you?” Although Quintina did


    not have any feelings for James, she was slightly confused about why James would refuse to marry


    her.


    She was the daughter of the Ancient n’s leader. Countless suitors hade for her hand in


    marriage. Many people wanted to marry her and build a rtionship with the Ancient n.


    Quintina stared at James and asked for an exnation.


    “It’s because I’m married.”


    Thinking of Thea, a smile formed on James’ face. He felt happy thinking of the memories he had with


    Thea.


    Then, he grew worried.


    Six months had passed, and he was unsure about the situation on Earth. He was also curious about


    how Thea and Winnie were doing.


    Seeing James’ smile suddenly turn into a worrisome expression, Quintina could not help asking,


    “What’s wrong?”


    James recollected himself. “It’s nothing.”


    With his wife and daughter still waiting for him on Earth, James was determined to improve his strength


    as soon as possible. Then, he could return earlier to eliminate the Divinity Sect’s elder, Yuvaan, and


    end their feud.


    “I’ll be taking my leave first.”


    James waved goodbye to Quintina, turned around, and headed down the mountain.


    Quintina looked at James’ leaving figure and sneered, “What’s the point pretending? He said he


    rejected the marriage? Who would ever reject me?”


    Soon, James returned to the courtyard where Yoan was staying.


    “Let’s go, Sir.”


    He called out to Yoan from outside the courtyard.


    Yoan asked with a smile, “What did the Ancient n’s leader want from you?”


    Jannes said smilingly, “Nothing much We just had a brief conversation.”


    “Is that so?” Yoan had a look of disbelief.


    “Of course “James nodded.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Yoan did not pursue the matter any further.


    “Let’s go.” James turned and left.


    The two departed from the Ancient n’s territory.


    After leaving the Ancient n, the two made their way to the Welkin Academy without taking any


    breaks


    A few dayster, they arrived at the Welkin Academy.


    “James, there are still three months left before the Grand Tournament. I don’t know what cultivation


    rank and physical strength you’ve reached after going into the Pagoda of mes, but you better not


    waste these three months. You have to train hard and prepare for the Grand Tournament.”


    With that said, he took out some Energy Enhancement Elixirs.


    “Here’s some Energy Enhancement Elixirs. They can quickly increase your True Energy.”


    “Thank you, Sir.” James epted the elixirs.


    “Mhm. Go ahead and cultivate. I’ll get going.”


    After he finished speaking, Yoan turned to leave.


    James was now Yoan’s disciple and was qualified to live on the independent mountain within Mount


    Crescent. However, he remembereding to the Welkin Academy with Mny.


    He was gone for six months and did not know what had happened to Mny during this period.


    James did not rest on Mount Crescent but walked toward the peak where the ordinary disciples stayed.
