Bab 27: Chapter 27 Charlotte Snow (Updated)

Nightin took in a deep breathe as he calmed himself down, trying to make himself look as natural and calm as possible. Putting his hands out for a handshake, he made a formal introduction of himself, "My name is Nightin and I'm the sect master of the Nirvana sect."

Charlotte returned the handshake as she gestured for Nightin to take a seat opposite of her on the stone chair. The chairs and table were made of simple stones that can be found anywhere even in the world of mortals, yet they gave off the feeling of simplicity and perfection at this moment.

The simple stony material has blended in with the pure yet carefree nature of the garden, the plants and flowers free from the struggles and chaos of the world. Even in the darkest periods and worst times, such a place could definitely bring light into the person's life.

After the two of them had sat down, Charlotte looked at Nightin, only to get dazed by Nightin who is looking at her. Before she realized it,she started to blush with two patches of light red appearing on the sides of her face.

It was also at this point of time that Charlotte saw the scar on Nightin's right arm. It was three lines and even up till this day, she has never forgotten about it. Trying to calm down while hiding the tears through her blush, she told herself that Nightin must never identify her.

Nightin didn't know why either, but looking into her eyes was painful for him.

Nightin subconsciously looked back and raised his hand up towards Charlotte's face. Slowly yet gradually, at the exact moment his hand touched Charlotte's face...

"Hey! What are you doing to my granddaughter in my residence!" The loud voice of a old man sounded out from behind which startled both Nightin and Charlotte as they pulled back from each other. Charlotte's blush couldn't be hidden as the same thought keeps flashing past her mind: This is bad, someone is going to misunderstand us. But she still told herself resiliently, I have to deal with the pain alone.

The old man appeared as he looked at Nightin saying, "Young man, walk up to me." Just a casual remark from him ,yet it was filled with the power to influence anyone who has a weak mind easily.

Nightin sat down on the spot, even though the person may be Charlotte's grandfather, he doesn't qualify to make him lower his pride against him. Ignoring his orders, Nightin just stared back at the old man without any fear.

"Oh, are you trying to push my limits?" The old man questioned back, his anger clear from his tone. A strong aura started to crush down on Nightin's body, even so, he wasn't willing to back down. He didn't even shout out in pain, didn't even beg for mercy, he merely sat there without making a move. He could feel his bones breaking apart while the blood in his body started to rampage around.

The old man laughed out loud at this time, only to get interrupted by Charlotte. Being his granddaughter, how could she not know what he's up to right now. "Grandfather, that's enough! He'll die at this rate!"

The old man's laughter stopped as his expression froze for a moment. The next moment, he took out an elixir from his spatial ring and pushed it into Nightin's mouth.

The moment the elixir entered Nightin's mouth, his blood started to recover as his bones mended themselves back. Not only that, he could feel that his bones were much stronger than before and that impurities have been purified from his body.

To top if off, Nightin could feel his cultivation increasing rapidly. With the excess medicinal spirit essence left,h e would be able to step into the second realm of Martial Spirit soon, within three days at most.

The old man started to pat Nightin's shoulder as he looked at him in worry while saying, "Young lad, forgive me for what had happened just now. I was merely testing if you're worthy of becoming my son in law, but I got too excited over witnessing a genius with strong determination and will, resulting in me forgetting to keep my pressure back in." Even though the old man said sorry, the carefree tone of his made Nightin and Charlotte speechless.

Nightin inhaled a few deep breathes of air before he slowly started to speak up, "It's fine senior,I still have yet to thank you for the elixir for elixir that you've given me, it must have been extremely precious to you."

Nightin grinned. The old man Charlotte's grandfather Eira Snow shuddered as he looked at Nightin,that grin of his gave him a feeling that something bad will be coming out from his mouth.

"I've passed the test for your granddaughter right, does that mean that Charlotte belongs to me right now?" Nightin chuckled as he looked at Charlotte who was still blushing in the corner, her face looking at the ground as both of her hands were tugging her robe nervously.

Charlotte didn't know why but the man in front of her has seemed to capture her heart. Ever since young, people only approach her to harm her who is only safe until now thanks to Eira's protection. As for people who approach her not just because of her looks or status,she has never met one in her life. Never in her life did she expect such a person like Nightin to barge into this peaceful yet dull life or hers.

He had yet to change until now.

Charlotte couldn't see the desire to have her to himself or his interest in her status or looks, Nightin himself didn't know what his feelings for Charlotte were like either.

At this moment, Eira and Nightin had already left the area as they head towards Eira's secret chamber where formation arrays have been formed. Everything they talk about within this chamber won't be know to the outside world and will be kept hidden.

Eira looked at Nightin as he said, "You may be a genius,but you're far from being strong enough. I'll be honest with you, Charlotte is someone who is bound to stand at the top of the younger generation one day, in the true upper realm."

Yet, Nightin still thinks of the upper realm as the same matter as the true upper realm.

Nightin replied as he exhaled, "It doesn't matter to me. I've placed my sights further than the upper realm, the upper realm will just be another paving stone of mine."

Eira didn't know why, but the young child in front of him may only be a average genius for his age, yet he had the feeling that Nightin isn't this simple. After his countless years of living, it's the first time that he actually met a youth who he couldn't see through.

Eira mocked himself for being useless, a saint being unable to see through a youth? If news of this were to spread in the upper realm, countless forces will either be trying to rope Nightin in or eliminate him who is a threat to them.

Eira told Nightin, "You don't get it, Charlotte doesn't know about this either. But ten years from now, Charlotte has an arranged with the young master of the Marquis Sanctuary, one of the top ten forces in the upper realm. If you really want to break her free from her fate, you will have to contend against saints and worse in the upper realm, are you confident of that? By that time, you'll only be around twenty five years old."

Nightin replied with confidence, no fear or hesitation is could be seen or heard by Eira, "Don't worry, ten years is more than enough. In two years, I'll leave the upper realm along with my sect. The number of disciples will only be a thousand by then, a thousand elites whose talent aren't any weaker than the first class geniuses in the upper realm. As for my backing, he's more than you can ever imagine."

Eira's body froze when Nightin mentioned his backing, before he actually knew it, cold sweat had actually already formed on the back of his body. When Nightin mentioned the backing, he could feel that it wasn't pure arrogance,but confidence that his backing was strong enough.

Nightin didn't say that his backing wasn't someone, but a system or it would have caused him too much trouble and maybe put himself at risk.

Eira laughed, his voice resounding in the chamber as Nightin looked at him while keeping silent without uttering a single word or making any movement to disrupt Eira.

Eira looked at him, this time with respect. "I'm sorry, but due to some unexpected changes, Charlotte will be heading back to the upper realm with me. Ten years, I hope I'll see you then, don't go missing on me. Charlotte's life is in your hands."

Nightin nodded as he asked "Senior Eira, can I talk to Charlotte for awhile. Just before she leaves, you can agree to this small request of mine right?"

Eira waved his hand and have Nightin his agreement. He was the one who has actually wanted Nightin to go for Charlotte after all, though it might be courting death in the eyes of others, he believes that Nightin can do it. How could he bear to be cruel enough to not even give them some alone time? Who knows, maybe Nightin stands a chance.
