Chapter 230 Recruitment and Trusting the Fate Sense
Meanwhile Arthur's thoughts were on the visions he just saw while battling William.
Firstly he saw that his luck took the form of a Golden Dragon and then he saw a battle in an unknown world.
He felt that they might meet again, perhaps in the Martial Emperor Secret Realm.
'That should be very likely,' Arthur thought.
To keep an eye on William, he asked Aixen to secretly follow him, suspecting he might be from another continent.
Aixen swiftly left unnoticed.
----
William and the old man appeared above the Ancient Battlefield Ruins.
"Uncle you shouldn't have interfered."
William was upset, sharing his frustration about not finishing the fight.
"I still had my trump cards you know?"
The uncle calmly showed his injured hand, revealing that Arthur left a mark despite the different realms.
"That kid is not simple. Also I suspect he was holding back."
"This..." This surprised William, realizing Arthur had hidden his true strength more than he thought.
The uncle wisely warned William, "This is what I have been trying to teach you. Never underestimate anyone, especially in a battle of life and death."
"Yes, Uncle Markins."
"Good, you still have a lot to learn. This has been a great tempering experience so far. I surmise that we should be the only ones with this kind of teleportation artifact that has let you roam the world and gather experience much more than others."
"Let's go," said the old man.
The duo used a bell-like artifact, vanished with a resonating sound, leaving only echoes. Unseen by them, Aixen observed from a distance.
At this time, Arthur was seated cross-legged, a distance away from the Skeleton Warrior as he meditated on the guise of recuperating.
Philia nodded feeling it was normal after such a heated battle, but Arthur merely wanted to wait for Aixen's information.
Aixen appears at this time, though no one could see or sense him.
Arthur acted like he was resting, letting Aixen share his observations without raising suspicion from anyone, including Brandon who stood close to him.
They communicated using spiritual sense.
Arthur took in the information thoughtfully.
"What? No, not really...um..I just thought that you um..."
"Couldn't cultivate?"
"Yeah, that. But apparently you can't always trust what you hear."
"Hehe, you weren't wrong though. I only began to cultivate less than two years ago," Arthur replied.
"You what? Sorry, did you say twelve years ago or two years ago."
"What do you think?"
"Nevermind, so what now?" Philia decided to drop it as she doubted Arthur was telling the truth.
His name, once associated with an inability to cultivate, now carried weight, contradicting her preconceptions.
Meanwhile, Touki had thoughts of his own.
"Hey, why are you guys forgetting about me!"
"That's not true Touki, we were just settling the terms of our agreement. This is for the adults to discuss."
"Aren't I am adult too?"
"What who told you that?"
"Uncle did! He said whoever is strong enough is old enough."
"Tch! That stupid old man. I told you not to listen to him," Philia felt exasperated.
"Big bro what do you think?" Touki turned to Arthur.
"I agree with your uncle," Arthur grinned.
"Whoever has the strongest fist is the eldest in the martial world."
"Hey, don't say that!" Philia stomped her feet.
"Alright, let's move to proper business."
Arthur explained some more things to Philia and she nodded in understanding but she was also at a loss why Arthur was giving such information.
'Why does he trust me that much?' This was her thought but meanwhile Arthur was merely following the guidance of his Fate Sense.
Touki told Arthur that he wanted to become strong and Arthur confidently claimed to be the best person for the task in the entire world.
While Touki listened eagerly, Philia couldn't shake the thought that Arthur might be boasting.
Despite any reservations, Arthur chose to trust them, guided by fate's threads indicating the value they could hold.
Moreover he knows that to walk the path of a sovereign, he needs subjects with great luck who are favoured by the heavens.
