?His hatred and enmity towards such folks ran deep through his bones. So, without knowing or feeling it, he emitted a very dangerous air around him when he spoke such words.


    "You noticed what happened when we came back," William couldn''t help but add, "the ones who instigated all this are agents of the dark spirit masters in my academy. I already spotted a n who belonged to them. And such a n caused that useless trial against the three of us."


    "Is that what happened?" This was the first time for William to exin things in such a way to Lina. Thetter didn''t say much, only sharing the same enmity as William.


    After all, she knew that she got chased down by a n belonging to the dark spirit masters. And she had a good reason to believe so.


    "Young master… There is something that happened before and I want to tell you about it…" and after a moment of hesitation, she decided to exin in full detail.


    What she said made William''s eyes shine in understanding. He knew that refusing a marriage proposal was something insulting to a big n like the Lizards, but it wasn''t enough tounch such a big hunt or entice such events here.


    From what Lina said, she exined that she idently stumbled across a suspicious meeting. It was between spirit masters from the Golden Sky academy led by the young master of the Bronze Lizard n and a group of dark veiled spirit masters.


    ording to her words, one day she was walking across the forest around her academy when she passed through a concealment array, one that didn''t stop her.


    She didn''t know why she could pass through such an array without even doing anything. However, that unexined happening ended up ruining her life.


    She witnessed the two groups exchanging stuff, holding papers with maps drawn over them. She managed to get a short nce around before hurriedly running away for her life.


    And starting from there, the young master of the Bronze Lizard n showed a sudden interest in her. He tried to buy her from her old masters but failed.


    Then he came up with the idea of marriage, and this also failed thanks to her firm refusal.


    Then the disaster befell over her family, and she ended up running for her and her little sister''s lives before finally meeting up with William.


    Thetter finally linked all the missing dots and got to see the full picture of what happened to her crystal clear.


    "Do you recall what you saw back then?" William couldn''t help but ask, hoping she''d recall a thing or two about that meeting.


    "I just took a glimpse over these papers," she paused before adding, "but I recognised a familiar map. It was a map of the area surrounding a few ns at that academy."


    "Hmm…" William was lost in thought. It seemed what she saw idently was part of the dark spirit masters'' ns for the Golden Sky academy. And yet he felt somehow uneasy about such news.


    When he tried to find out why he felt this way, he felt like something was inside his mind for a second before it floated into thin air the next moment.


    After pondering deeply for a few minutes without any sess, he sighed and decided to drop such a matter entirely and forgot about his uneasy feeling.


    "It doesn''t matter. You are now living in the Aspire academy, having nothing to do with the Golden Sky academy anymore."


    William was partially correct about that. After all, he didn''t know lots of things that the other two formidable spirit masters knew.


    "This…" the face of the headmaster instantly changed the moment he heard what Lina said. He turned to Kong, and thetter didn''t show any better expression than his friend''s.


    "They don''t know that the uing big spirit masterpetition will be held at the Golden Sky academy… If what this little girl said is true, then our kids will be in great danger!"


    The two spirit masters didn''t need to say anything else. They shared the same thoughts, and they shared the same worry for the future of the spirit masters they nned to send there as well.


    "I wanted to send my grandson and granddaughter there…" the headmaster slowly muttered in a grave tone.


    "I nned to send Berry there as well…" Kong decided that after Berry''s sudden recovery, she deserved a chance to experience the real world of spirit masters.


    The two shared the same heavy gaze, one that expressed more worry and much concern over the ones they held close to their hearts.


    They were also worried about other spirit masters the academy and the Long n nned to send.


    These kids were considered the bright future of their academy and n. If something bad happened to them, then the consequences would be quite severe.


    The spirit masters they nned to send were considered the future of the entire academy and the Long n. So, losing them would be quite a hit to both.


    As the two kept worrying over this, William tried to squeeze his mind, trying to recall anything big that happened at the Golden Sky academy back then.


    But he was a mere porter back then, and hecked much intel about lots of big things happening at the outside academies and world.


    "Aside from these papers, I heard part of their discussion when I stumbled across their meeting," Lina didn''t stop telling more intel as she added, "I heard that young master of the Bronze Lizard n shout that such a plot will negatively impact his people, attract the hatred of many big ns. And he asked for a change of the selected ce away from his n."


    "This…" William didn''t know what he could make out with these words. "Is there anything else?" He tried to know more so he could get the best use of what he learnt.
