Chapter 1124
Though Anton might have been more effective if he was allowed into the Eighth Vent, he couldn’t fault them for their caution. What difference would a few weeks of delays make compared to consequences stretching far into the future? The people of Unov shouldn’t rush.
“You haven’t spoken much of what happened,” Anton said. “My current assumption is that you fled to these locations during an invasion from the upper realms. Before that time, did you know Jaya of the Twisting Spike Sect?”
Hadrianus was Anton’s nearly constant conversation partner and guard, though the man wasn’t so much guarding him as guarding against him. Or making people believe he was, since Hadrianus was fairly well aware that he couldn’t restrict Anton if the old man didn’t want it.
“I know of her,” Hadrianus agreed. “But we were not particularly acquainted. We lived on different continents, and I likely wouldn’t have any knowledge of her if she were not a Life Transformation cultivator.”
“I see,” Anton said. “I was hoping that you would say she has a good heart.”
“How often is that the case?” Hadrianus asked.
“Often enough. Sometimes people merely choose the wrong council.”
The man inside the protective barriers pondered for a few moments. “That may be the case. She may have to make difficult choices, given the limited resources available.”
“I’m taking that into consideration,” Anton nodded.
