Chapter 141: William’s Unwillingness

Chapter 141 William’s unwillingness

Regarding the fact that Walton had become a Great Sage, Bud wasn’t the only one who felt surprised?

The same moment Bud left for Linley’s courtyard, the bard William’s door was gently pushed open.

He stared at the golden-haired Walton in the air, his brow furrowed.

Envy, jealousy, confusion, and unconvinced.

All kinds of complicated emotions interweaved.

Why?

Why Walton?

This old man was obviously injured, and he was born in a poor family. He had learned all the magic power and mystic abilities through thick-skinned, shameless, and licking the faces of various sects.

Moreover, his talent was far inferior to mine…

Why… did he advance to the Great Sage first?

Why?!

William clenched his fists tightly…

Although he had never told Bud, Walton, and the others about his true identity.

However, from his surname, one could guess…

He came from the William family in the North.

His uncle was the sect patriarch of William VII.

And since he was young, the person who had been teaching him the mystic abilities was none other than William Saul of the Far North region, who was known as the first person after the patriarch!

It could be said that from the moment he was born, he had been a noble.

What he had been taught was the most formal noble education.

William, who had been raised by this sort of education system, always had the pride of a noble Scion.

It was this sort of noble pride deep within his bones, which made William completely turned his nose up at Linley, upon hearing that Linley wanted to take him in as a disciple!

HMPH!

The noble young master of the William family, his master in the past was the second most powerful expert of the Far North region, William Saul!

Given this sort of experience, why would he be willing to take a 21-year-old boy as his master?

This was simply a joke!

William thought proudly.

Of course, why did William who was so prominent in the past, become an Eastern Bard now?

This all started 500 years ago.

If it wasn’t for the road to the North suddenly being blocked 500 years ago, he would probably be in the North now, receiving the most orthodox education. He might even have become a Great Sage!

Only, all of that was if.

Fate was such a joke.

Five hundred years ago, when he had secretly traveled from the North to the East to play, the gears of fate had begun to turn.

Everything he had suffered during those five hundred years was what he was destined to experience.

After so many years, William had come to understand all of this.

But what he didn’t understand was why, five hundred years ago, he had already become a Sage. Five hundred years later, he was still a Sage?

And Walton had surpassed him?

In addition, that fellow Linley was only twenty one years old, but he was already a Great Sage…

Was this fate…

A bitter smile appeared on William’s face.

When he was young, everyone had felt that he was the main character of the world. But as he grew older, the wider he saw the world was, he saw more geniuses. Only then did he suddenly realize…

He was so shallow and ignorant…

“Da…Da…”

William paced out of the house and walked towards the main road.

The road was slightly muddy.

Walton’s promotion had actually caused a change in the weather, causing a light rain.

William walked in the light rain.

His gaze was still fixed on Walton, but the jealousy and resentment in his eyes were slowly dissipating…

He began to think about the true reason for Walton’s promotion.

What would it be?

…

These past few days, if there was anything that Walton had done that he hadn’t done… Only…

That he acknowledged Linley as his master.

If he acknowledged Linley as his master, would he be able to increase the speed of his advancement to become a Great Sage?

William couldn’t help but frown.

This was impossible.

No matter how talented Linley was, he was only a 21-year-old fellow. He didn’t have any talent in teaching.

No, even if he did have the talent in teaching, there was no way he would be able to teach Walton how to become a Great Sage in such a short period of time!

William was silent.

What was it?

What was the reason…

William’s heart was itching with anxiety. At this moment, he really wanted to pull up the corner of Walton’s clothes and question him!

But right at this moment, a group of figures began to gather from afar.

William looked over and saw…

It was the patriarch of the Li Fire Sect, Roderick!

And his daughter, Natasha.

And the disciples of the Li Fire Sect.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were shining as they ran excitedly towards William.

This, this…

What happened?

William was stunned and stopped in his tracks.

Were they looking for me?

William suddenly felt a little nervous.

He saw the bustling crowd gradually approaching and finally walking to his side.

However, they only gave William a look before continuing to rush forward!

And their target was…Walton’s residence!

“Mr. William, you’re out too? Do you also want to acknowledge Mr. Walton as your master?! Do you want to come along?” A disciple of the Li Fire Sect asked excitedly.

William: …

“Mr. William, don’t be embarrassed! This is the Great Sage! Oh My God! If I can be guided by the Great Sage, I can brag about this in our village for the rest of my life!”

“That’s right, that’s right! And I heard through the grapevine that Mr. Walton has always been very happy to guide others. This time, he will definitely guide us with great care!”

“Really? That would be wonderful! To be able to be guided by a Great Sage…I really smoke from my ancestral grave in my last life!”

“That’s right, that’s right. Let’s hurry up and leave! If we’re too late, we might miss Mr. Walton’s guidance…”

“Mr. William, are you really not going with us? Listening to a lecture will help your cultivation level as well!”

“You dumb fool, shut up! Mr. William and Linley come back together, he’s probably a Sage expert at his peak stage. Why does he still need any guidance?”

“Ah… ? No Way, Coco… If that’s the case, then why didn’t Mr. William become a Great Sage? Is it because Mr. William is a bit dumber…”

“Idiot! Shut up! You’re the dumber one…”

“Mr. William, Ha… I’m sorry, he doesn’t know how to speak, please take no offense…”

…

The disciples of the Li Fire Sect were all talking at once.

When they noticed that Mr. William’s expression was getting worse, they all lowered their voices and escaped as if they were running away.

Finally, Mr. William was left alone, standing on the spot with his fists clenched.

B*stards…

A bunch of b*stards who don’t know how to cultivate!

What do you know about cultivation?

Do you know how difficult it is for a Sage to advance to the Great Sage?

Even the top geniuses of the continent would be stuck at this promotion for at least ten years!

I can already be considered as a genius, okay?!

From the first level of the Sage Realm to the peak of the Sage Realm, I relied on myself to figure it out!

Can you do it?!

Can you do it!!!

William gritted his teeth and roared in his heart.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

However, after letting out a few silent roars in his heart…

His anger gradually subsided, and then he let out a long, dejected sigh.

He knew that everything he had said was right.

But if that fellow had been there, it would have been easy to refute him.

All he had to do was say, “Linley advanced from being an apprentice Enchanter to becoming a Great Sage in three years. Thus, isn’t advancing to become a Great Sage nothing special…?”

William would instantly be rendered speechless…

In front of a genius who didn’t follow common sense, any explanation would be an excuse…

“D*mn it… truly d*mn it…”

William clenched his fists tightly.

His talent wasn’t as high as Linley’s. William accepted it.

But…

At this moment, that old fellow, Walton, was about to shit on his head as well.

This was something William simply couldn’t stand!

“All these praises should have been mine… Mine!”

William thought angrily in his heart.

And then, he turned his gaze back to Linley’s residence.

For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that…

Walton’s realm promotion to become a Great Sage definitely had something to do with Linley!

“Could it be that Linley taught him some sort of secret technique…?”

“The secret to quickly advancing…”

“If I acknowledged him as my master, then I’ll be able to acquire…?”

William couldn’t help but think this.

Afterwards, he went silent for a moment. When he raised his head, his gaze was filled with determination as he walked directly towards Linley’s residence…!
