Severin smiled wryly and asked, “Hey, what’s going on? Why are you tormenting yourselves like this? I


    don’t think you did anything wrong.”


    “We are very sorry for our mistakes. Please don’t hold it against us. We promise never to do it again.”


    “Yes. We were foolish to underestimate you.


    They were all so frightened that they did not dare to get up.


    Meanwhile, She and Diane could not help themselves from giggling. Those disciples seemed to think


    Severin was a petty


    person


    Severin waved his hand and channeled an unseen force that gently lifted the kneeling disciples to their


    feet.


    “I’m not going to hold a grudge against any of you over what happened yesterday. You didn’t know who


    I was, and so did many of the elders. I can’t me you for that.”


    Severin retracted his invisible force and continued, “Yourmitment to fulfilling your duties as


    members of the patrol, and your unwavering attitude toward preventing any suspicious individuals from


    passing beyond a certain point, ismendable.


    “Really? Does this mean you don’t me us for our actions?” Rano and the others heaved a sigh of


    relief upon hearing


    Severin’s words.


    Severin, however, then changed his tune a little and lectured them, “That doesn’t excuse you being so


    condescending and dismissive of us. At the very least, one of you should have informed the sect leader


    and asked if he knows such an individual. That is the proper thing to do. Have I made myself clear?”


    “Yes! We will learn from that! Thank you for your advice. We will never look down on anyone again.”


    Rano promptly extended


    his hand for a handshake.


    “We will take this as a valuable lesson. Thank you.”


    “But if you’re still unhappy with us, you could p us a few times to vent your displeasure if you want?”


    Several other disciples were still a little anxious, and they were all being overly courteous to them.


    “Yesterday is in the past, so let’s all move on and look toward the future. I can see that you have


    reached a decent level of attainment. Most of you are either level two or level three saints. Your level is


    also very stable, I might add. A breakthrough should be on the horizon, yes?” Severin nced at their


    attainment levels and remarked.


    Rano nodded. “Yes. Our attainment is pretty stable now, but it’s not easy to get a breakthrough. We


    need to wait in line if we want to get sorne pills. It’ll probably take at least six months before our turn


    arrives.”


    “six months?” Severin was at a loss for words. Six months was too long a wait just to get some pills.


    “Yeah. It’s not like we have any other option, though. Those with higher attainment levels generally


    have it easier, since they have priority in resource allocation because of their attainment. There are


    many people on our level withit the sect and only three fourth–grade low–rank alchemists. The rate at


    which they produce pills is a little slow, and whether or not they will even. set about crafting pills is


    highly dependent on their mood. They may take prolonged breaks if they have other tasks at hand,


    which makes it even more difficult for us to get any pills.”


    Rana sighed in resignation, and the others expressed a simr level of helplessness.


    Severin nodded and proceeded to scrutinize the group’s attainment level. With a wave of his hand,


    several pills floated out and hovered before them.


    “I’ll give each of you a pill. Use it during your training. These pills should be able to ensure a smooth


    breakthrough since all of you are already on the verge of one,” Severin said with a smile to tann and


    the others.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
