Chapter 549 - Secret Realms
Because he knew that these cultivators have much more experience and knowledge about various things which would help his children to become powerful cultivators.
What's more, no harm would come to them by the top powers of the Zrcoeshter province.
So, he sincerely hoped his children would become their disciples.
"I know. If they are not selected by you, they lack the required qualifications," the guild master nodded his head as he agreed to her words.
It doesn't mean if someone called a certain someone as a talented cultivator then that certain someone was actually a talented cultivator. Moreover, along with the talent, the powerful cultivators check for other parameters when taking in a personal disciple.
"So, Edmond, it's time to bring your children out from the shadows," After that, the guild master looked at Edmond and said with a smiling expression.
"I will do as you say, guild master,"
How could Edmond not follow the guild master's words when he was offering a bright future for his adopted children.
'Looks like I need to change my plans about my mission. I can't waste their talent for that mission,'
At the same time as he nodded his head, Edmond silent thought in his head about changing plans about some mission.
'I think, its best like this,'
Udo looked at Edmond and silently thought in his head as he silently agreed to Edmond's decision of bringing his adopted children from the shadows.
That's right!
Except for the guild master and Udo, no one in the Zrochester province knows about Edmond's nine adopted children because they have the threat from the top sects of the Zrochester province. So, Edmond hid them until now and secretly trained them.
'Since the guild master wants to make the disciple accepting ceremony public, I don't have to worry about my children's safety as no one will dare to make trouble with the five old cultivator's disciples,'
Edmond felt that this was one of the good things that happened to him for a few years now and carefully planned about his and their future.
'Huh?'
All of a sudden, Edmond frowned a little as he thought about something.
"You don't need to worry, Edmond. First, we will secretly conduct the tests for your adopted children and then conduct the ceremony to publicly announce it. So, those who are not selected can remain hidden as you wanted,"
The guild master seemed like what made Edmond frown and eased his worry with the brief explanation.
"Thank you, guild master,"
Edmond heaved a sigh of relief when he heard those words and thanked the guild master.
"Okay then. Let's conduct the tests in any one of your secret realms. What do you say?" The guild master nodded his head and looking at the five old cultivators he asked them about the location for conducting tests for selecting the disciples.
That's right!
These five old cultivators don't live in the Zrochester province or in the human world; instead, they live in some secret realms that were connected to every world.
"We choose his secret realm,"
As soon as the guild master finished his sentence, all four powerful cultivators pointed their fingers at the one called the eternal nurturer, Ramon.
"Why do you always want to come to my secret realm?" Ramon scoffed at the other four old cultivators that selected his secret realm as the venue for conducting the test for selecting their disciples.
"Okay then, We will go to Ramon's secret realm in a week. Until then take some rest and Edmond, you need to heal all the injuries of your children from earlier battle and bring them to their top shape,"
Without wasting any time, the guild master finalized Ramon's secret realm and asked everyone to take some rest as they just had a tiresome battle with the demon army.
The guild master, especially, asked Edmond to take care of his children as he knew that they had participated in the battle and were greatly exhausted.
So, he gave them a week to rest.
"Thank you, guild master,"
Edmond and others had various questions in their mind regarding the secret realm; however, they knew it was not the time to ask for, and he simply thanked the guild master before leaving the room along with Udo, Blood rose and Darbaudr.
"Rulf, you too go and take a rest,"
The guild master indirectly asked Rulf to go out ofo the room which Rulf followed without saying a word as he knew these powerful cultivators have something important to discuss.
"Why did you finalize my secret realm before I even accept it,"
Ramon patiently waited until Rulf, Edmond and others left the room and as soon as they closed the door after leaving the room, he angrily shouted at the guild master.
"Okay. Now accept it,"
The guild master calmly replied to Ramon and asked him to confirm his secret realm as the location of conducting the tests.
'Well done, Rae'
All the other four powerful cultivators gave their thumbs up at the Guild master's words.
"Sigh... you all wanted to take the treasures from my secret realm. I know " Ramon didn't argue much because he didn't like to argue much with others. So, he shook his head as though giving confirmation in his own way.
"I know, Ramon is the most magnanimous among all of us,"
The guild master smilingly replied to Ramon and all others supported him.
'Hehe...you think you can get my things that easily. Once you come to my secret realm, I will cover all the loses,'
However, unexpected to their expectations, Ramon cunningly smiled to himself and he finally decided to cover all the losses from his friends.
"If my guess is correct, the royal family and other top powers must have already got the news of your appearance, I wonder what is their next move,"
After that, the guild master changed the topic and guessed.
"Although the royal family doesn't fear us much, that couldn't be said to other powers. Let's see what they will do,"
"Anyway, since our Rae doesn't want to fight them, let them come here and apologize to us and I have a good deal for them. All I hope is that they come here,"
Soon, everyone started discussing what the top powers of the Zrochester province would do next.
"Okay then. Let's just wait and see for the reply from them. You must be tired of travelling all the way from your secret realms to here. So, go and take some rest,"
After discussing for a while, the guild master asked them to take rest as they travelled a very long distance to come here.
"Don't think, we have become powerful with our age. We are more powerful than you now, remember?" When Esmund heard, the guild master's words he retorted.
"Okay okay. You can discuss all you want. I will leave this room as my old bones are tired after running here and there...Haha," The guild master laughingly said and stood up from his chair to leave the room.
He knew that Esmund was always like that. So, he didn't bother much about it.
'...'
Esmund became speechless when he saw that and hurriedly said, "Fine, we will leave now."
"Haha"
When they saw the actions of Esmund, all the other cultivators laughed before leaving the room with him.
As for the guild master, he closed the door and went to sleep on his bed.
