Felix fell into a dilemma. He knew that Edmund was far from kind, and there was no way he was just genuinely trying to help Wilbur and Felix. Edmund definitely had some other intentions and was trying to trick Wilbur intoing here.


    At the thought, Felix said carefully, "But Master, Wilbur and I have already separated. I don''t know where he is, and I don''t think I can find him."


    "Are you saying that we have a deal as long as I find him?"


    Felix did not want to say yes but had no choice, so he nodded.


    Edmundughed. "We''ll go out of town tomorrow. I''ll take you to Wilbur, and the two of you wille and work for me in the Reyne family."


    "Yes, Master."


    Felix was a little surprised, but there was nothing he could do about it. All he could wish for was that Edmund would not find Wilbur the next day.


    However, Edmund had already hatched up a n. The energy aura in the Azure Dragon Lake was dissipating at an rming rate, which could only mean that there was a cultivator absorbing it somewhere else, and that cultivator was probably Wilbur.


    Considering this, all Edmund had to do now was head out of town to find Wilbur, and his n would be halfplete.


    The next day, Edmund headed out with Felix in tow. The two of them searched the threekes nearby, and Edmund eventually followed Babbit''s memories to nter Lake. He released his spirit energy, searching the waters.


    It was not long before he detected a special aura in theke, and so did Wilbur after having cultivated in the mirror dimension for three hundred years.


    Wilbur''s eyes flew open. "Crap. Is Babbit here again?"


    The mirror began to rumble, rising out of theke and spinning in mid-air. It was not long before Wilbur emerged from it, his gaze icy.


    Edmund lit up at the sight of Wilbur. He was about to snatch the bronze mirror away before realizing the position he was in and had no choice but to say, "So, you''re Wilbur Penn?"


    Wilbur sneered at Babbit. "This is hardly our first time seeing each other, is it? That goes for Mister Felix Horne here, too."


    Felix opened his mouth but could not find the words to say. Babbit blinked before a grin spread across his face. "Right, I almost forgot! Since you already know the secret of the Azure Dragon Lake, Wilbur, why don''t youe back to the Reyne family and join us?"


    "Join the Reyne family?"


    Wilbur frowned at Babbit, not knowing where this sudden kindness hade from. Babbit would have made such an offer the first time he crossed paths with Wilbur if he had really wanted to take Wilbur in, but he had waited until now to do


    So.


    Thus, Wilbur suspected that Babbit did not actually want Wilbur to join the Reyne family. He had other ns for sure, and Wilbur would fall right into them if he were to say yes to the offer.


    "Yes, this is an invitation. Come, and join my family."


    Wilbur snorted. "What if I don''t want to?"
