Chapter 1757: Chapter 1757: A Friend to Confide In
Although they weren’t worried that Augustine would go too far, he certainly dared to teach Tommy a lesson.
"I am deliberately opposing you, so what? What can you do, teach me a lesson?"
Augustine glanced at Tommy faintly, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"You!!"
Hearing Augustine’s words, Tommy’s face turned a mix of green and pale, yet he was lost for words, let alone daring to strike Augustine.
If he made a move, he would be the one to suffer, not Augustine.
Given his capabilities, he couldn’t even beat Wyatt, who was at the peak of the Middle Saint Realm, let alone Augustine at the peak of the Great Saint Realm.
"If you don’t dare, then stop whining in front of me!"
Augustine looked at him with disdain, then withdrew his gaze and smiled at Wyatt, "Wyatt, it’s nice to meet you... let’s go! Join me for a drink."
After speaking, Augustine stepped into the air and quickly moved away.
Wyatt nodded to Matthew, Ebba, and Enoch, then followed Augustine, leaving behind only a dashing silhouette.
The day’s farce came to an end.
"Ah——"
After Augustine and Wyatt left, Tommy’s body trembled violently with anger, finally unable to hold back a shout full of fury and unwillingness.
"Augustine, Wyatt... I, Tommy, swear, I will never let you go! I will never let you go!!"
Tommy continuously roared inwardly, and if his thoughts could kill, Wyatt and Augustine would have died countless times by now.
"That guy is truly lucky, even Augustine helped him."
With the matter coming to a close, Ebba breathed a sigh of relief; for her, this was the best outcome.
If Wyatt really had to make a move, she would’ve been concerned.
Wyatt followed Augustine to his residence for a drink, and by the end of the session, they had fully gotten to know each other.
Of course, that was also because Augustine himself was a straightforward person, very much to Wyatt’s liking.
"Augustine, did you really help me today just because you found me agreeable?"
After three rounds of drinks, Wyatt looked at Augustine and asked with a smile.
"Of course."
Augustine hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Really?"
Wyatt didn’t blink, staring into Augustine’s eyes as if trying to discern something.
"Alright, stop staring!"
They say eyes are windows to the soul; even Augustine couldn’t make his eyes lie. Seeing Wyatt’s unwavering gaze upon him, he quickly surrendered.
He honestly said, "The reason I was there and helped you was because of ’Master Ancestor’... Master Ancestor mentioned you to me, saying that your talent surpassed mine. Coupled with your reputation in the Heavenly Palace, I became very curious about you."
"It turns out Master Ancestor has a discerning eye. You’re indeed extraordinary."
Augustine stated.
"Master Ancestor?"
Wyatt showed confusion, not knowing who Augustine’s Master Ancestor referred to.
As far as he knew, Augustine’s father was one of the two Protectors of the Mysterious Void Mansion, a peer of the House Master, already considered high-ranking within the mansion.
Finding someone with a higher rank than Augustine’s father within the mansion would be difficult.
And Augustine’s ’Master Ancestor’ certainly has a rank higher than his father.
"Spirit pool."
Seeing Wyatt’s confused expression, Augustine slowly uttered two words to remind him.
"So that senior is your Master Ancestor."
Augustine reminded him to such an extent that if Wyatt still didn’t know who Augustine’s ’Master Ancestor’ was, his reaction would indeed be too slow.
Augustine’s Master Ancestor was the one-armed old man guarding the spirit pool.
"So, that senior is your father’s master?"
Wyatt inquired.
"Yes, he’s my father’s master. I don’t have a master yet."
Augustine laughed, "My master should currently be waiting for me in the ’Upper Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land."
"Are you planning to go to the Upper Domain, Augustine?"
Wyatt was somewhat surprised.
"Yes."
Augustine nodded, "Once my cultivation breaks through to the ’Human Saint Realm’, I will go to the Upper Domain... going there has always been my goal."
Wyatt nodded, understanding this.
In the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, going to the Upper Domain is not just Augustine’s goal.
Many talented individuals, confident in themselves, yearn for the Upper Domain because it is the gathering place of true powerhouses in the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
In that place, there are many powerful beings not found in the Lower Domain.
"Almost there?"
Wyatt asked.
"At most a year."
Augustine Landon smiled slightly, his face full of confidence, at most a year, he would break through to the Human Saint Realm and head to the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!
"So fast?"
Wyatt Barnes was even more surprised.
"Compared with others, it might be fast... but compared to you, Junior Brother Wyatt, it’s not fast. I believe you can definitely break through to the ’Human Saint Realm’ before the age of fifty!"
Augustine had great admiration for Wyatt’s talent and had high hopes for him.
"Junior Brother Wyatt, if you break through to the Human Saint Realm, do you plan to go to the Upper Domain?"
Augustine asked.
"Of course!"
Wyatt nodded without any hesitation.
The Upper Domain, he would definitely go, but it wouldn’t be after breaking through to the ’Human Saint Realm’.
With his current cultivation, breaking through to the Human Saint Realm would take a long time, and he couldn’t wait.
He had long made up his mind to head to the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land once he broke through to the ’Great Saint Realm’ to find Keer and his child.
"It seems we have the same goal, not planning to waste time in the Lower Domain... Looks like I need to put pressure on myself to make a name in the Upper Domain before you, Junior Brother Wyatt, arrive, so I can look after you."
Augustine laughed.
"I believe in you, Senior Brother Augustine, you will definitely make a name for yourself in the Upper Domain."
Wyatt laughed as well.
Some people may know each other their whole life and never become friends.
Of course, this refers to heartfelt friends.
But Wyatt and Augustine, though only acquainted for a day, quickly became friends because of their compatible personalities, and they were friends at heart.
"Junior Brother Wyatt, earlier when I saw you at the peak of the Heavenly Palace, fighting those Cox Family brothers... Your domain and True Origin seemed quite similar to the domain and True Origin of that Eden Lee who appeared in the Sky-scraping Mansion region. Do you really know him?"
Suddenly, Augustine seemed to remember something and asked.
"Senior Brother Augustine, how do you know that my domain and True Origin are similar to Eden Lee’s domain and True Origin?"
Wyatt asked in confusion.
If it were people from Tang Yue Mansion or Surge Hayden Mansion who, after witnessing his domain and True Origin, thought they were similar to Eden Lee’s, he would not be surprised.
Because during the Overleaping Rankings battle, many people from Tang Yue Mansion and Surge Hayden Mansion were present.
But the problem was, the person in front of him was Augustine, a disciple of Mysterious Void Mansion, not someone from Tang Yue or Surge Hayden Mansion.
"Last time during the Overleaping Rankings battle in the Sky-scraping Mansion region, a friend of mine happened to be there... My friend is a ’Taoist Talisman Master’, especially well-versed in ’Mirror Image Talismans’. The Overleaping Rankings battle was conducted within the Illusion Array ’Jewel Chess Game’ in Jewel Valley, where ordinary Mirror Image Talismans couldn’t capture footage of the event."
Augustine said, "But my friend’s Inscription Drawing ’Mirror Image Talisman’ couldn’t perfectly capture the event within the Jewel Chess Game, though it recorded some fragments... In those fragments, I saw Eden Lee’s domain and True Origin, which were almost identical to yours."
"Moreover, I heard that when you first joined our Mysterious Void Mansion, you mentioned knowing Eden Lee to someone."
At this point, Augustine paused and looked at Wyatt, waiting for his response.
"Senior Brother Augustine, although we’ve only known each other for a day, I feel like I’ve known you forever. So, I won’t hide some things from you."
Wyatt said.
Though they had only known each other a day, Wyatt already considered Augustine a true friend and was sure that Augustine would never betray him.
"Oh?"
Hearing Wyatt say this, Augustine became even more curious.
"Actually, the Eden Lee who appeared in the Sky-scraping Mansion region back then was me."
Wyatt stated candidly.
"What?!"
Augustine was evidently shocked by Wyatt’s words. "Junior Brother Wyatt, what’s going on? As far as I know, neither you nor Eden Lee showed any signs of disguise... I saw Eden Lee’s face through the Mirror Image Talisman, and it was average, incomparable to your handsome face."
"That’s because I know a secret technique of disguise, which can change my appearance using True Origin."
As Wyatt spoke slowly, the muscles on his face began to twitch, and finally, under Augustine’s astonished gaze, he transformed into an ordinary-looking young man.
And this ordinary face was not unfamiliar to Augustine.
Back then, through the Mirror Image Talisman, the face he saw of Eden Lee was this one.
"I didn’t expect such a miraculous secret technique of disguise to exist in this world."
After a moment, Augustine came back to his senses, gave a thumbs up, and praised.
"Junior Brother Wyatt, is there any reason for your disguise to participate in the Overleaping Rankings battle?"
Regarding this, Augustine felt somewhat curious.
"Senior Brother Augustine, the reason I participated in the Overleaping Rankings battle with the disguise..."
Since he decided not to hide the identity of ’Eden Lee’ before Augustine, Wyatt told him everything about Karina Hanson.
"I see."
After listening, Augustine suddenly realized, "So, that means the young lady, Julia, owes you gratitude. You killed the Junior House Master of Sky-scraping Mansion, ’Peace Adams’, allowing her to break away from that engagement."
"Peace Adams isn’t dead."
Wyatt shook his head, a gleam of cold light unconsciously flashing in his eyes, targeted at Peace Adams.
"How could that be?!"
Upon hearing this, Augustine was incredulous. "Though the footage my friend’s Mirror Image Talisman recorded was fragmented, I clearly saw Peace Adams get pierced through the forehead by your sword... He couldn’t possibly be alive!"
