“You’re a level six saint?!” Gilda was genuinely surprised, as his attainment had now surpassed hers.


    “A level six saint? That’s incredible! You might even catch up to Felipe soon, since he’s only a level


    seven


    saint right now,” Wuhlricht’s said excitedly.


    He understood how challenging it was to make a breakthrough after reaching royal saint. The difficulty


    will continue to grow if one is a level five or level six saint. With Severin’s breakthrough to level six


    saint,


    the sect could boast to have yet another powerful individual.


    Severin nodded and reminded them. However, it is very important to keep this matter under wraps for


    now. Our fellow disciples might grow suspicious if they found out that my attainment level had


    skyrocketed all of a sudden. Frederick might sense that something is amiss too, and he would definitely


    be even angrier If he learns that I was the man Gilda was with that night. I won’t even begin to


    imagine how he would react if he found out you epted me rather than banishing me. It’s possible he


    could even instigate the Horizon Sect to confront us directly.”


    Wuhlricht chuckled. “Then we’re on the same page! We cannot reveal your attainment level or your


    connection to the child’s father. Both these aspects must remain closely quarded secrets for now.”


    “I can understand the rationale behind not disclosing that I’m the father, but would it be eptable for


    me to be with Gilda? The worst that could happen is that other people might be inclined to believe I’m


    your chosen sessor.”


    Wuhlricht chuckled at that suggestion, “Haha! That’s fine for now. You’ll have to tolerate some of the


    gossip for now, but we’ll eventually reveal the truth about you being the father. There wille a day


    when our sect bes formidable enough and no longer has to fear the Horizon Sect.”


    Severin smiled nonchntly. “It doesn’t bother me. All that matters is that I know the child is mine. I


    don’t


    care what other people think of me.”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “Does that mean… I’ll be able to tell people that you’re my partner soon?” Gilda asked with a pursed


    smile.


    Severin chuckled and said, “Of course. You can even tell them now if you want.”


    “Haha, great! I’ll help you spread the word then. The news will travel quickly within the sect once I


    Inform some of the elders and protectors,” Wuhlricht dered. He was Incredibly satisfied with Severin


    thus far.


    After some thought, Severin told Wuhlricht, “I believe our sect won’t stay weak for much longer, but it’s


    Important that we shouldn’t rush to enter that ce‘ even after you’re able toprehend the miniature


    ck tower’s secrets. We need to ensure our sect is genuinely strong before we go in, since I wouldn’t


    expect us to bring the entire sect with us anyway. Too many people and it might arouse some


    unwee


    Wuhlricht concurred. “Spot on, Severin. Unfortunately, it’s going to be challenging for our sect to grow


    stronger to the point where we don’t need to fear the Horizon Sect’s disciples. I am a level eight royal


    saint, so I’m no match for the level nine royal saints. Let’s not forget that the powerful royal saint figures


    within the Horizon Sect outnumber ours greatly. Your ability to refine fourth–grade high–rank pills is of


    great use, but only in terms of helping our saints catch up to theirs. We are still very far behind when it


    comes to royal saints.”
