Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2075: Inside the Great Hall

"Leilani."

The Family Head Brightfall, ’Collin Brightfall’, upon seeing Leilani Brightfall approaching, showed a gentle smile, his eyes full of deep affection.

However, soon he couldn’t help but secretly sigh.

Thinking about the ’promise’ he made to his daughter that he was likely unable to keep, he felt a pang of discomfort in his heart.

You see, his daughter had grown up, and he had never disappointed her before.

Yet this time, he was going to disappoint her.

"Grand Elder, Second Elder."

When Leilani Brightfall reached Collin Brightfall’s side, she also greeted the two elders beside him with a smile.

These two elders were the ’Grand Elder’ and the ’Second Elder’ of the Brightfall Family.

The Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family was an elder of medium build and ordinary looks. Upon hearing Leilani Brightfall’s greeting and seeing her, he immediately showed a smile and nodded slightly, "Little Leilani."

The Second Elder of the Brightfall Family was taller than the Grand Elder, about as tall as the Family Head Brightfall ’Collin Brightfall’.

Faced with Leilani Brightfall’s greeting, he gave her a slight glance and then, somewhat dissatisfied, said to her, "Leilani, today’s events were a bit ill-considered."

When Leilani heard this, she fell silent for a moment.

Today, taking Wyatt Barnes by the hand at the tavern and holding it as they left was something she did impulsively without thinking...

Looking back, she was a bit taken aback, feeling that she had been rather bold!

After all, although she felt a fondness for Wyatt Barnes, it was still the first day they had met.

However, what was done was done.

In a certain sense, her actions did indeed deliver a resounding ’slap’ to the Easton Family.

So, facing the Second Elder’s dissatisfaction, she dared not argue.

"Family Head, Grand Elder, Second Elder!"

At that moment, Jaxton Brightfall, the Second Master of the Brightfall Family, stepped past Wyatt Barnes and reached the trio of Collin Brightfall and the two elders first, greeting them proactively.

Upon seeing Jaxton Brightfall, Collin Brightfall subtly furrowed his brow and then nodded faintly.

Next, after Jaxton Brightfall, a group of elders from the Brightfall Family followed and greeted the trio of Collin Brightfall.

"Jaxton Brightfall stays, the rest can disperse."

Seeing so many elders gathered, the Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family frowned and then spoke calmly.

Though the words were calm, they carried an unmistakable tone of authority and command.

Within the Brightfall Family, there were three ’Saint Immortal Realm strongmen’.

Among them, the Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family was the strongest!

Hence, the Brightfall Family elders dared not disobey the Grand Elder’s words.

As soon as the Grand Elder finished speaking, the group of elders, after glancing once at Jaxton Brightfall, dispersed one by one.

Although they wanted to follow into the main hall to join the ’excitement’, they knew that once the Grand Elder spoke, going into the main hall was out of the question.

However, even though they couldn’t enter the main hall to partake in the ’excitement’, their ’will’ would be conveyed by someone.

Their Second Master, ’Jaxton Brightfall’, was entirely capable of representing them!

Originally a vast group gathered together, now only ’Jaxton Brightfall’ remained.

In a moment, with slow steps, Wyatt Barnes at last reached the vicinity of Family Head Brightfall ’Collin Brightfall’ and the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Brightfall Family.

"Father, he is the friend I mentioned to you before."

Seeing Wyatt Barnes approach, Leilani Brightfall timely introduced him to Collin Brightfall.

Because of Wyatt Barnes’ previous display of ’confidence’, she didn’t feel much pressure now...

Even if she knew her father might not represent the family in protecting Wyatt Barnes!

"Family Head Brightfall."

Before Collin Brightfall could speak, Wyatt Barnes greeted him with a smile.

"Hello."

Faced with Wyatt Barnes’ courteous greeting, Collin Brightfall naturally returned a smile and then asked, "What should I call you?"

"Eden Lee!"

Wyatt Barnes responded with a smile.

This response initially left Leilani Brightfall stunned.

Because she knew Wyatt Barnes’ ’real name’, and suddenly hearing him use such a strange name left her a bit bewildered.

However, upon thinking about it, recalling Wyatt Barnes seemed to have an unspeakable reason for not revealing his name, she felt at ease.

"So it’s Brother Eden Lee."

Collin Brightfall nodded and then asked, "Isn’t Brother Eden Lee from ’Airebright City’?"

"No."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head.

"May I know from where Brother Eden Lee hails?"

Collin Brightfall asked further.

As he asked, a hint of anticipation also appeared in his eyes.

Because he knew that today he was almost unable to protect the purple-clad youth before him, he hoped the youth had an impressive ’background’, so the Easton Family would hesitate to act against him.

Thus, his daughter wouldn’t be disappointed due to his inability to protect the youth.

"Family Head Brightfall, I’m but a ’loose cultivator’, my home is wherever I roam!"

Faced with Collin Brightfall’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes responded immediately, without revealing his ’origins’.

Loose cultivator?

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Jaxton Brightfall and the Second Elder of the Brightfall Family both showed disdain in their eyes, whereas Family Head Brightfall and the Grand Elder’s expressions grew solemn.

Especially Collin Brightfall, whose eyes were deeply disappointed.

As for ’Leilani Brightfall’, she was first stunned, and then relieved, realizing that Wyatt was probably just temporarily concealing his ’origins’.

When facing members of the Easton Family later, he would reveal his ’origins’, causing the Easton Family to hesitate and refrain from taking action against him!

If not, he wouldn’t have been so confident earlier.

"Brother Eden, this is our Brightfall Family Grand Elder and Second Elder..."

Collin Brightfall spoke, breaking the somewhat silent atmosphere, and introduced the Brightfall Family Grand Elder and Second Elder to Wyatt.

"Greetings, esteemed elders."

Wyatt respectfully greeted the two old men.

The Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family nodded lightly, acknowledging Wyatt.

As for the Second Elder of the Brightfall Family, he only glanced at Wyatt initially and now pretended not to hear Wyatt’s greeting, ignoring him entirely.

Wyatt remained calm in response.

Those who ’look down on others’ with ’dog eyes,’ he’s seen many like them all the way from the Mortal Continent, and he no longer takes them to heart.

"Family Head, Grand Elder, Second Elder... we should go in. If we let the Easton Family Head and their elders wait too long, it might seem like our Brightfall Family doesn’t treat guests well."

Suddenly, Jaxton Brightfall’s voice entered Wyatt’s ears, seemingly reminding Collin Brightfall and the others, yet containing a hint of schadenfreude.

Of course, this ’schadenfreude’ was directed at Wyatt.

Immediately, with Jaxton Brightfall’s reminder, Family Head Brightfall, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder took the lead towards the Brightfall Family’s grand hall not far away.

Wyatt and Leilani walked side by side, following them.

As for Jaxton Brightfall, he walked at the end, as if afraid Wyatt might escape at a critical moment.

Walking into the Brightfall Family’s grand hall, everything inside it came into Wyatt’s view.

The Brightfall grand hall was very spacious, and although the arrangements inside were simple, they did not lack grandeur.

"Father, it’s him! It’s him!!"

Just as Wyatt was observing the Brightfall Family’s grand hall, an agitated voice, sounding familiar, reached his ears, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

In an instant, Wyatt’s gaze was drawn to the owner of the voice.

With just one glance, he recognized the Second Young Master of the Easton Family, ’Bless Easton,’ whom he’d reprimanded earlier today at a restaurant in the center of Airebright City.

At this moment, Bless Easton was standing beside a middle-aged man, excitedly pointing at Wyatt while speaking with agitation to the man beside him.

From the way Bless Easton addressed the middle-aged man, his ’identity’ naturally became clear—

The person was none other than the Easton Family Head:

Hev Easton!

As Bless Easton spoke, Hev Easton’s gradually chilling gaze fell on Wyatt, instantly making Wyatt feel as though he was being stared at by a ’venomous snake’.

However, Wyatt only lightly glanced at Hev Easton before his gaze shifted to the other two elders standing beside him.

These two elders stood shoulder to shoulder with Hev Easton, indicating their obviously esteemed status in the Easton Family, "They... could they be the ’Grand Elder’ and ’Second Elder’ of the Easton Family?"

Earlier, while in the independent residence where Leilani lived, an elder from the Brightfall Family had mentioned that besides the Easton Family’s father-son duo, the ’Grand Elder’ and ’Second Elder’ of the Easton Family were present.

Looking at the Easton Family, only those two had the qualification to stand alongside Family Head ’Hev Easton’.

These two were also the other two Saint Immortal Realm powerhouses of the Easton Family aside from ’Hev Easton’.

The Easton Family, like the Brightfall Family, had three Saint Immortal Realm powerhouses each:

All being Family Head, Grand Elder, and Second Elder.

As for the other two elders standing behind Hev Easton and the others, Wyatt merely glanced at them briefly and paid them no further attention.

It was clear their status in the Easton Family was ordinary, likely being just regular elders.

"Family Head Easton!"

At the same time, Family Head Brightfall ’Collin Brightfall’ and the Brightfall Family Grand Elder and Second Elder walked towards Hev Easton and the others together, smilingly greeting Hev Easton.

Beside him, the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Brightfall Family also greeted the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Easton Family respectively.

"Wretch! Wretch!!"

Seeing Wyatt and Leilani stand together like ’immortal lovers’, Bless Easton was so enraged his eyes turned red, continually screaming hysterically in his heart.
