Chapter 861: 861:Young Master Is Too Steady

"Yes. We can’t stop them from going just because we’re worried about the others."

Julia smiled faintly.

"We just need to make sure the other children understand the reason."

Ethan looked down at the five invitations again.

His fingers gently brushed over the names written on them.

He was still torn about sending them away.

They were his children.No matter how talented they were, he still saw them as the little ones who used to run around the residence and cling to him.

But his wives were right.

They were reaching an age where their aspirations were beginning to take shape. They wanted to see the world, meet new people, and experience things outside Blanks.

He couldn’t keep them sheltered forever.

Ethan finally sighed.

"Then there isn’t much we can do."

He picked up the invitations one by one.

"If these five have been selected, we’ll send them."

His expression remained complicated, but his voice became firm.

"We’ll explain everything to the others and make sure none of them feel neglected."

Sophia reached over and gently placed her hand over his.

"That’s all we can do."

........

After ending the meeting, he moved toward the forging room.

"Since these kids are going, I need to prepare suitable gifts for them."

He pushed open the heavy door and stepped inside. The familiar smell of metal and heat immediately filled the room. Several materials were already arranged around the forge, and the various tools Ethan had collected over the years were neatly placed nearby.

He walked toward the center of the room and looked at the empty forge.A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Come on, Ethan. Time to work hard."

He raised his hand and poured energy into the formation.

The forge suddenly lit up, and the flames began to rise.

Ethan rolled up his sleeves and looked at the materials in front of him.

.......

In another part of Blanks, Raymond was sitting with Gu Cheng and drinking tea.

At the age of fourteen, Raymond already carried a mature, smart, and steady aura. His movements were calm, and even the way he held the teacup was measured. He quietly took a sip of spiritual tea and placed the cup back on the table without making a sound.

Gu Cheng watched his way of drinking tea for a moment before laughing.

"You shouldn’t be too steady. Having some rashness and hot blood in your youth is good. Missing out on it is gonna make you regret it."

Raymond raised his brows slightly. He picked up the teacup again and took another sip before speaking.

"Regrets are for those who fail and think of the past, while I always look ahead."

Gu Cheng’s smile faded slightly as he listened.

"Blanks have been developing silently, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that we are amassing great momentum. As a wise man said..."

Raymond paused and looked toward the distance.

"The tallest tree is cut first. We might suffer a big blow if we don’t have enough means."

Gu Cheng’s eyes twitched when he heard this.

"Aren’t you thinking too far ahead? The Empress is benevolent and your father is still standing."

Raymond calmly placed his teacup down.

"Just because my father is there doesn’t mean I would just lean on him and lie flat."

Gu Cheng raised his brows.

"How is it different from handing my fate to another? He might cover me today, but what about the future?"

Gu Cheng sighed when he heard this.

Why is this kid talking like those old schemers in our world?

After living here for the past years, Gu Cheng could see that although there were many treacherous things in this world, they couldn’t be compared to the geezers of his world.

And that was to be expected.

The cultivators of his world could live for millions of years, while here, the highest realm, which was the Transcendent Realm, allowed people to live for at most a thousand years.

How could the experience of hundreds of thousands and millions of years be compared to this?

So, in his view, Raymond had been thinking too much.

But what could he say?

Gu Cheng picked up his teacup and took a sip before asking.

"Have you heard about Zenith Academy?"

Raymond’s hand paused slightly.

He tapped his finger against the rim of the teacup and fell into deep thought.

"I have."

"Then what are your plans?"

Raymond remained silent for a moment before answering.

"Nothing at present. Since we five are going, I have to take care of these brats so that they don’t lose their way."

As he said this, he remembered his fellow brothers and sisters.

Kael was an outgoing and lively personality, while Lucian was quite meek.

Seraphina, this sister of his, was quite cold like a fairy. She seemed to find everything around her mundane.

As for Lena...

Raymond’s expression changed slightly.

He didn’t even want to think about her.

The two continued their conversation for some time. Raymond remained calm as usual, while Gu Cheng listened to him with a strange expression.

After a while, Raymond suddenly noticed a slight fluctuation in Gu Cheng’s eyes.

"Someone is here?"

"Hmm!"

Raymond immediately placed his teacup down and got up. He tidied his clothes before a man appeared outside the room and was about to bow.

"No need for formalities."

Raymond raised his hand and stopped him from bowing.

"Father called me, right?"

"Yes, Young Master. Lord asked me to call you to the office."

"Very well. Let’s depart."

Raymond gave Gu Cheng a slight nod before following the man.

As the silhouette of Raymond disappeared from sight, Gu Cheng could heard a clicking sound

"That brat has been influenced by you too much. I shouldn’t have let you interact with him."

Gu Cheng rolled his eyes and picked up his teacup again. He took another sip of the spiritual tea while feeling a little proud.

Though he was like an elder to Raymond, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that he was also like a teacher who had guided him over the past years.

And now that bird was finally going to fly.

Gu Cheng looked toward the direction Raymond had disappeared and smiled slightly.

He wondered what sort of miraculous things he was going to hear from this brat in the future.
