There was fierceness and hostility in Zenith’s eyes, and it was apparent that he regarded Caspian as
an enemy.
On the other hand, Caspian only coldly glanced at Zenith, and he was not angry.
However, Zenith believed Caspian’s performance was just an act, trying to pretend as if he was a
strong young man.
Not only that, Zenith thought Caspian was secretly frightened.
After some time, Caspian said, “Chief Zenith, I’ll naturally not interfere with the Gibson family’s affairs.
However, before the battle starts, I’m only advising you to be prepared for Solana’s victory.”
“That’s impossible!” Zenith waved his hand rudely.
“The Troy family has three second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivators, far from what my Gibson
family can match.
If Solana wins, our Gibson family will face another disaster and be annihilated! Hence, neither the Troy
family nor I will let Solana win! So please…”
Zenith inched closer to Caspian and flashed his pearly whites.
“Don’t worry about us.
Remember, no matter what, don’t interrupt our plans! The fact that you stayed in Solana’s cottage last
night was already the biggest compromise the Gibson family has for you.”
“You… Just behave yourself!” Zenith snorted, turned around, and left, leaving Caspian alone by the
lake.
Looking at Zenith’s back, Caspian shook his head helplessly.
‘I finally know why Solana talks so little.
Sure enough, the last people in this world who drive you crazy are the people who say they are good
for you.’
Although threatened by Zenith, Caspian did not move out of Solana’s courtyard.
On the contrary, he stayed in the house for the whole day.
Only in the evening when the sun set, Caspian sat on the railing under the eaves and watched Solana
practice the Gibson family’s martial arts, the Whirlwind Palm.
When Zenith heard the news, there was only a look of disdain in his eyes.
In his opinion, Caspian was persuaded.
Not only did he believe Caspian was intimidated, but he also looked down on Caspian’s current
actions.
“Being threatened by others but yet to fight back? They all said that cultivators relied on the injustice in
their chest to cultivate, yet this kid doesn’t have the guts.
He’s a sect disciple, yet he’s not as good as the disciple of my family! No wonder he’s a son-in-law
that’s marrying into his wife’s family.
What a hopeless man!”
After that evaluation, Zenith just let people continue monitoring the small courtyard, preventing other
people from approaching at will.
Then, he did not pay more attention to the two.
***
Another day passed, and it was now the 29th of August.
Tomorrow would be when the Gibson family and the Troy family compete, and it was also Solana’s
birthday.
At night, Caspian and Solana sat opposite each other in the house.
Their shadows were stretched very long by the candlelights, reflecting on the ground and wall.
Not only that, but the bright candlelights gave the room a sweet hint that was not there in the past.
That was Solana’s long-lost feeling, but she did not say it out and just felt it carefully in her heart for
fear that even a second was wasted.
After all, Solana knew that Caspian would leave after the match tomorrow.
According to him, he would do something that he had to do after waiting for a long time.
That night, before Caspian parted, he wanted to give her words of advice.
“I talked to your dad.” Caspian‘s voice was not loud, but every word was clear, and Solana heard them
all.
“Your opponent tomorrow is slightly stronger than you, and there’s no doubt about that In addition, the
pressure you face is more than just these.
In the entire Gibson family, I’m afraid that no one except you and me wants you to win.
The reason is very simple.
If you lose, you‘ll have to marry that Spencer as promised.
Although it doesn’t affect your identity as a Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciple, there are bound to be
serious drawbacks for your future cultivation.”
Caspian continued, “Whether it’s the Troy family or the Gibson family, no one will pay attention to your
feelings anymore because they all got what they wanted.
The Gibson family got part of the mining rights of Silver Marrow Ore Vein and hoped to return to the
main Gibson family, and the wealthy Troy family, which has no big backing and can only take root in the
soil of this small town, also has the opportunity to get in touch with the head of the main Gibson family.
More importantly, getting you also equal to this Gibson family being bullied as they wish.
Unfortunately, your dad was so stunned by the so-called three generations’ efforts, and he couldn’t see
this at all.
Furthermore, if you win, it would be terrible as the Gibson family will be unhappy, and the Troy family
will be even more upset…”
“According to your father, the Troy family has three second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivators…”
Caspian snorted.
Solana naturally knew that it was useless for her father to threaten Caspian with that.
After all, when Caspian was in the Heavenly Stars Sect, he defeated an entry-level second-stage Pulse
Control Realm disciple.
Moreover, Caspian did not just win against his opponent, but he completely crushed the other party!
Unfortunately, Zenith was not James, and he would never pay attention to Caspian’s situation.
“So tomorrow, if you win, it’ll be a miserable victory.
You have to be mentally prepared,” Caspian said and glanced at Solana.
Suddenly, he revealed a faint smile.
“You know what, Solana… I suddenly feel as if I’m spurting nonsense.
After all, you’re that type of person that once has a goal, you’re willing to fight for it even if it means
hurting yourself to the extreme.
Hence, I’m not worried about your fight tomorrow, but I‘m just somewhat sad.
However, just rest assured as I’ll always be by your side.”
Caspian did not say exactly what he would do for Solana, but his words filled Solana’s heart with
warnmess which was so poignant that her eye sockets were warm, and she was teary.
Compared to her father, her teacher trusted her, and he would not order her around.
When Solana truly needed it, Caspian would be like a ray of light, illuminating the way for her.
That was enough.
Solana squeezed her fists on her knees and whispered, “Thank you…”
“Let them see you in a new light tomorrow.
You’re not the Gibson family’s taciturn daughter they remembered.” Caspian thought for a while,
stretched out his hand, and patted Solana on the head.
“You’re very strong, stronger than everyone thinks.
It’s time to show your strength.
You should also return to the Heavenly Stars Sect after I leave tomorrow.
I’ll see you when I come back, and I don’t have anything particular to remind you of.
However, if you encounter any trouble by then, you can go to Heavenly Stars Sect and look for Xander
and the others, or you can find Maisie.”
Caspian smiled and continued, “Let’s sleep earlier today and amaze everyone tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Solana nodded.
The outside of the cottage was a living room, and there was only one bedroom.
Cultivators were different from mortals and did not have a strong need for sleep.
However, whenever Solana was in the courtyard, she was still used to not meditating every night like in
the past, but sleeping like a mortal.
Inside the room, there were two people lying side by side.
Outside the house, there was the sound of crickets.
The night was quiet, but Solana was not asleep yet.
She did not know whether it was because of nervousness for the bet tomorrow as it would be the
decider of her future or because Caspian was leaving the next day.
Solana kept staring in at the bright moon outside for a long while when Caspian’s voice suddenly
sounded from behind her.
“Happy birthday!”
