Chapter 2406: Do You Really Think I Can’t Do Anything to You?
Carson Flores almost lost his life to The Wither-Bloom Sage, leading to a round of scolding from the three women.
Carson reflected on himself; he couldn’t be careless. The circle he was in now—anyone coming along could potentially be after his life.
Safety first!
This time, he came to meet Lorvian Randall, which counted as penetrating deep into the Sea God Sect. Coupled with the matter of the Sea Tide Pearl, Carson’s true self didn’t come; only his incarnation did.
Crispin Valentine, unable to tolerate Carson’s provocation, decided to teach Carson a lesson.
Killing you would indeed bring massive retaliation, but teaching you a lesson shouldn’t be a problem.
"You disrespectful brat, it seems you were raised without discipline, hence your reckless words. I will discipline you on behalf of your elders."
Carson sneered, about to respond, but Lorvian Randall suddenly stepped forward to shield Carson, calmly saying, "I’m not seriously injured, you can go back."
Carson was a bit surprised. Lorvian Randall was quite straightforward.
He actually stood up to the Vice Sect Hierarch for Carson!
Lorvian Randall went out of his way to do this, so Carson couldn’t reject his goodwill. He smiled and said, "Alright, as long as you’re okay. I will report back to the sect. Farewell!"
Lorvian Randall humbly replied, "See you again."
Crispin Valentine was about to make a move but was suddenly stopped by Lorvian Randall, leaving him exasperated. "Lorvian Randall, you... arrogant! Do you really think I, as the Saint Heir, can’t do anything to you?"
Lorvian Randall calmly replied, "My actions are above board, and my words can withstand scrutiny. It’s all for the glory of the Sea God. If Vice Sect Hierarch Valentine thinks my actions are improper, he can strip me of my Saint Heir status and throw me in jail."
Seeing Lorvian Randall block Crispin Valentine, Carson didn’t hesitate any longer, turned around, and left. Those at the door, seeing Lorvian Randall intervene, made no further orders, allowing Carson to leave.
Watching Carson leave, Crispin Valentine felt a great loss of face, coldly stating, "The position of Saint Heir was personally decided by the Sect Hierarch. I cannot revoke your position as Saint Heir. Everyone witnessed today’s events. You will have to explain to the Sect Hierarch yourself."
Lorvian Randall calmly replied, "I will certainly explain to the Sect Hierarch."
A seething Crispin Valentine turned and left the main tent. Once inside his own tent, his anger vanished, leaving only coldness and gloom.
To achieve the position of Vice Sect Hierarch, how could he be a person who openly shows his emotions?
All of this was just an act, a performance for others to see, showcasing his helplessness.
The same old saying: shift the blame!
Although he was the leader of this mission, he believed that among the people around, there were definitely those belonging to the Sect Hierarch, closely watching every move. They would report everything that happened here back to the Sect Hierarch.
Let Lorvian Randall face the Sect Hierarch’s punishment. With him bearing the blame first, his own responsibility would be greatly reduced.
As for Carson Flores?
He should thank him.
What happened in the main tent just now needed to be spread quickly. The more exaggerated the spread, the harder it would be for Lorvian Randall to explain.
Mud on the crotch, if it’s not feces, it’s as good as.
...
Carson Flores left the Sea God Sect’s camp, frowning.
Lorvian Randall was truly a stand-up guy.
Even at this point, he adhered to his actions, without shifting blame, even willing to take on the blame himself for the matter.
Crispin Valentine, continually pressing the issue of the Sea Tide Pearl, was only trying to shift the blame, wasn’t he?
Lorvian Randall might be in for suffering when he gets back.
I’ll see if there’s a chance to meet him again later.
Some things need closure.
Carson returned to the camp and recounted the entire event, leaving everyone quite moved.
"This Lorvian Randall has principles."
"Quite a stand-up guy. Do you think he’ll be okay?"
"Now he’s taking the fall for that Vice Sect Hierarch. This matter is somewhat related to us; is there anything we can do to help him?"
Carson shook his head with a wry smile, "With his status, there’s little we can do to help him. However, Lilianna, I’ve observed just now; the internal strife in the Sea God Sect is severe. It’s not just among the disciples; even the Vice Sect Hierarch and the Saint Heir are at odds. You should reconsider your previous thoughts about joining the Sea God Sect."
"It’s not that the Sea God Sect has no prospects. Instead, the severe internal strife within means you might spend more energy dealing with it, hindering your cultivation speed. These struggles could also lead to fatal consequences, so it’s better to stay away."
"Regarding the issue with the Sea Tide Pearl, we can find other ways to make amends for him. He even said that even with the Sea Tide Pearl, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand that sudden surge of power from Profound River, meaning that his losing the match didn’t have much to do with us."
Lilianna Norman nodded and said, "Alright, I will listen to you."
