No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 2171
Jackie’s room was on the west side hall. This used to be a storage space for miscellaneous items, but everything had been cleaned out and the space was nicely tidied.

After the runner disciple left, Jackie poured a pot of tea for Noel and Brook, who bade him goodbye after spending half a day talking to them.

With that, Jackie was the only one left in the west side hall after sending Brook and Noel away. Jackie sighed helplessly as he stood alone in the empty side hall. He thought that Elder Godfrey would ask him to come after he had arrived. Unexpectedly, he had been ignored.

After sitting in the side hall for another hour, he became utterly bored and could not reign his thoughts. He then opened the side hall’s door and walked out of the west side hall. Jackie had just stepped on the green stone path when he saw a man In formal elder clothing sitting in the gazebo. The man had his back facing Jackie and seemed to be enjoying his tea.

Jackie’s tension ebbed away when he saw that person’s back figure. He walked steadily toward the gazebo that was situated in the middle. The surrounding plants were incredibly lush, which would obstruct one’s view densely. He moved the leaves away as he slowly walked inside.

Elder Godfrey slowly looked up and glanced at Jackie who arrived in the gazebo.

Jackie’s expression seemed a little bitter. Although he had become Elder Godfrey’s last disciple, Jackie’s mood was still slightly terrible. He sat down opposite Elder Godfrey impolitely before he took another jade teacup from the table to pour himself a cup of tea. The delicate fragrance of the tea leaves assailed his nostrils. He had never drunk such tea, but he knew that this was a type of spirited tea that could clear one’s mind with its fragrance.

Elder Godrey’s mouth curled upward as a significant smile appeared on his face. He did not waste time on other irrelevant things as he said straightforwardly,” You can ask anything you wish to know, and I’ll tell you everything I know without reservation.“

Jackie scoffed lightly. He initially held respect for this formal elder, but what he did previously had stripped off all the respect Jackie had for him.

Jackie replied in a slightly low voice, “I feel that the Eleventh Elder should give me an explanation. You didn’t give me any hint before suddenly announcing me as your last disciple in front of everyone, causing everyone to target me. I had no idea that the Eleventh Elder was so confident in me and knew that I was capable of settling this dispute without seeing me in action.”

Elder Godfrey chuckled when he heard this. He did not get angry because of Jackie’s angry tone. The elder picked up his cup and took a sip. “I know that you’re not a commoner, and this can be considered my test to you. If you pass the challenge, it proves that you’re capable of becoming my last disciple. The news I’ve declared is true as my last disciple has to be excellent in every aspect.”

Jackie was furious when he heard this. This meant that Elder Godfrey only had a brief understanding about Jackie, and he did not consider things on his behalf when he decided to do so. If Jackie was capable of suppressing the matter, it meant that Jackie was qualified to be his last disciple. If Jackie failed, he would follow the First and Second Elders’ opinion and choose a last disciple among those three disciples.

Chapter 2172
Regardless, the Eleventh Elder was not at a loss and Jackie was the only one who would suffer.

Jackie glowered at the elder, though not as intensely, but his response was curt as he spoke, “You truly are amazing at calculating such matters, Elder Godfrey. Compared to you, my schemes seem to be nothing important.”

Elder Godfrey naturally understood Jackie’s hidden sarcasm. He put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at Jackie. “You don’t need to be so angry. We’re fated, and I have to thank you for rescuing me out of Mount Beasts. I owe you for your kindness, and I naturally won’t ignore you when you’re in trouble. It was indeed rash of me to suddenly announce this back then, but I won’t abandon you even if you’re unable to defeat any of those three disciples.”

The elder’s words might have seemed pleasant, but Jackie was not a three-year-old child. He chuckled and spoke softly, “You have to understand that I’ll face the danger of failing once I get onto the battle stage. You announced me as your last disciple previously, and they’ll naturally target me. If they attack me fatally, I may lose my hands or legs by then.”

Elder Godfrey said, “I know that you aren’t an ordinary person, and you won’t put yourself in such danger. If you truly feel that your strength is incomparable to them, you won’t join them on the battle platform. I know this clearly.”

Jackie snorted and did not respond. He only turned to one side and looked at the dense trees surrounding them.

Elder Godfrey was not displeased because of Jackie’s attitude. He ignored Jackie and continued speaking,” Right now, you are already my last disciple. To put things simply, we are on the same boat. Don’t let these grievances affect our relationship.”

Jackie’s mouth twitched as he itched to say something terrible. However, he also understood that what Elder Godfrey said was true, and the two of them were in the same boat. It was best for them to not speak so harshly and cause their relationship to be in a deadlock as he would also suffer because of that. He had no choice but to nod. “You’re right. However, you’ve refuted the First and Second Elder by doing this. Aren’t you afraid that the two of them will cause you trouble in the future? Even a newly recruited informal disciple who doesn’t care about the world also knows that the biggest issue in the sect right now is the battle for the position of sect master. No matter who will become the sect master in the future, it’ll be a battle between the First and Second Elder. It’s unwise of you to offend the two of them at once.”

Jackie did not purposely say this to disgust Elder Godfrey. Instead, he felt that Elder Godfrey had completely offended those two elders by doing what he did. Both the elders were not people that could be easily dealt with, especially the Second Elder. He was a gloomy, extremely shrewd person. Once he had his eyes fixated on a person, that person’s life would not be easy in the future.

Elder Godfrey chuckled and replied nonchalantly, “We have many days ahead, and even if the sect master wishes to abdicate his position, it’ll take him two to three years to do so. Who will know how the situation is in two or three years? On top of that, will they let go of me easily even if I didn’t offend them? The others might not know this, but you know what I went through before. I was framed by others, and I found out that those two elders made a pact together to lure me into Mount Beasts after I did my investigation.”

Jackie’s expression stiffened when he heard this. He had never imagined that this was the case. He naturally understood that Elder Godfrey was framed by others to appear at Mount Beasts at that time.

Chapter 2173
However, Jackie did not expect that the people who framed Elder Godfrey were the First and Second Elders. The two of them were incompatible during any other day, and Jackie was rather surprised by the fact that they would temporarily join forces to frame Elder Godfrey

Elder Godfrey exhaled deeply. “I’ve already figured a way out for myself, and I’ve also thought about the way out for you. Some things are unavoidable even if I wish to avoid them. As the results will be the same, it’s better to live happily than living a vexed life.”

Jackie nodded deeply as he agreed with what Elder Godfrey said. Elder Godfrey chuckled, shook his head, and said solemnly, “Let’s not talk about these miscellaneous matters. I have something important to tell you right now.”

“The spot to enter the Secret Place for Resources, yes?” Jackie blurted out without waiting for Elder Godfrey to continue speaking.

Elder Godfrey raised his brows and glanced at Jackie in surprise. “How did you learn about that? I’ve just learned about this recently, and according to those people’s virtue, they would’ve asked their subordinates to keep it a secret. Surprisingly, news of this has been spread, it seems.”

Jackie’s lips twitched reluctantly before he simply described what he experienced before he entered the Mysterious Green Hall to Elder Godfrey.

Elder Godfrey sneered coldly after he heard what happened. “So it was Griffin Olsen. He’s always been like that; acting domineeringly due to the fact that he was a chosen disciple. His characteristics and your temperament would definitely end badly sooner or later. Since he said that he won’t let you off the hook, you should do the same.”

Jackie smiled helplessly when he heard this. Usually, would the support not stand forth and protect those under their care from harm? It looked like Elder Godfrey did not plan to do so.

Elder Godfrey seemed to be oblivious about Jackie’s struggle as he continued, “I’ve finally understood the stories behind some of the things that happened, and I’ve made my guesses as to why the Thousand Leaves Pavilion would act as if they didn’t see the members of the Corpse Pavilion. The Thousand Leaves Pavilion is carrying out a chest game, and every step they take is a gamble with much to lose.”
