Chapter 37: Parting
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing that so many people had gathered to see her, Serena felt a little uneasy. Fortunately, Norton quickly dismissed the irrelevant people, and Serena became a little more at ease. Then, she told the head of the family, Norton, that Howen had already woken up and that he was fine.
Hearing this news, everyone in the Nicholas family clan heaved a sigh of relief. If Howen had really been badly injured, their family clan would definitely be in trouble. Although they were already in trouble now, as long as the other party was fine, it would be a small problem. Their family clan would still be able to handle it.
Furthermore, during the duel, all the rules had been set by Howen. He had said that he would not use magical power, but in the end, he was the first to use magical power and as a result, he was injured by the counterattack. He had no one to blame except himself. If the Sky Blue Magic Academy still wanted to upkeep their reputation, they would not dare to openly cause trouble for the Nicholas family clan.
Now that they had been informed, it was time for Serena to leave, but her gaze kept drifting toward Ron, who had the same ardent eyes.
Of course Norton understood what they were thinking. He immediately said to Ron, “Ron, go and send Serena home!”
“Yes, Grandpa. I’ll definitely send Serena home safely.”
Then Ron and Serena left together, and it was not long before someone saw them holding hands. By the time Ron returned, it was already two hours later. The house of the Nicholas family was only a fifteen-minute walk from Campbell’s. It was baffling how they could have walked for two hours.
In the next few days, everyone was waiting to watch a good show. They all believed that the Nicholas family clan had utterly offended the Sky Blue Magic Academy this time, and that the Sky Blue Magic Academy would certainly not let the Nicholas family clan off easily; they would definitely take ruthless revenge.
They all waited to see how the Sky Blue Magic Academy would take revenge on the Nicholas family, but after waiting for more than ten days, they did not see the show they had been looking forward to.
Regarding this, the Grimm family clan was the most disappointed. They had wanted to see the Nicholas family clan exterminated because of this matter. At least they would have to compensate the other party a huge sum of money, and even the Ice Wand had better be given also as compensation.
However, none of this happened. Many people were speculating whether the guy named Howen had died from his injuries, and whether this could be the reason why he had not taken revenge. There were even many versions of rumors on this.
However, after more than ten days, Howen, Serena, and the other two from the Sky Blue Magic Academy came out from the Campbell family home together. Only then did these rumors disappear completely. Then, everyone watched as they embarked on their journey back to the Sky Blue Magic Academy.
Watching Serena’s gradually receding back view, Ron became a little worried. Earlier, Serena had come to bid him farewell and had said that she would explain their marriage to her teacher when she got back. She believed that her teacher would definitely grant them their wish. Ron did not say anything. After all, the person was Serena’s teacher, and Ron could not say that her teacher was wrong in front of Serena, could he? But Ron was still very worried. He wondered if the other party would make things difficult for Serena.
However, this was not something he could do anything about now. The only thing he could do now was to cultivate harder and improve his own strength as quickly as possible. Right now, everything else was useless. Only his own strength mattered.
Just like earlier when Howen had asked him outrightly to annul the engagement, if he was still someone without any cultivation base, he would not even have the confidence to speak, let alone even dared to challenge Howen in the end. It was only because he was strong that he did not have to fear the other party, and could protect his marriage. That was all.
However, his speed of cultivation had returned to normal and was not a hundredfold faster. Yet, Ron was not discouraged at all. Instead, he worked even harder.
In the past ten days, Romo had accumulated some Faith Points again. The first thing he did was to upgrade the Protective Formation by one level. This upgrade had only cost him 10,000 Faith Points. As such, the capabilities of the Protective Formation had also not increased much. Only its alert and defense capabilities had doubled. There were no other special capabilities.
Romo had wanted to continue to upgrade it, but the System told him that the next upgrade would require 100,000 Faith Points. Romo immediately collapsed and decided that he should delay the upgrade first.
Outside Winterfrost city, there was a church where everyone in the entire Magic Martial Continent worshipped. It was a church of the Heavenly Father faith. According to legend, the entire Magic Martial Continent had been created by the Heavenly Father. Everything in the world, including the people, had been created by him. Hence, every city in the Magic Martial Continent had a church like this. Apart from worshipping their ancestors, they also worshipped the Heavenly Father.
Today, Sonia and Avril had come to this church.
Avril was John’s wife, Little Arthur’s mother. The two of them had come to the church today to pray for their family clan and Little Arthur. They also wanted Little Arthur to be baptized.
Baptism was a blessing ritual which everyone could carry out. Although it was not as effective as paying respects to their ancestors, it was more or less a form of psychological comfort. Therefore, Sonia and Avril had also come here.
After the baptism, the two of them also prayed for a while. Sonia prayed also for something else, and this was, she too wanted a child.
She and Jack had been married for several years, but they had not been able to conceive a child. This was also one of the reasons why Norton did not like Jack previously. Now that the family’s businesses were getting better and the family clan was getting stronger, coupled with Little Arthur’s birth, which had triggered her emotions, she yearned even more for a child.
Although Sonia had prayed softly, Avril still heard it. On the way back, Avril said to Sonia, “Sonia, do you know how John and I had conceived Arthur?”
“Huh? Why do you suddenly speak of this?” Sonia blushed.
“What’s there to hide? We’re all women, what’s there to be afraid of?” Avril did not sense anything untoward and carried on.
Sonia blushed and said, “Don’t we still have a little man here?” She was referring to Little Arthur.
Avril laughed and said, “Haha, if our Little Arthur can understand what we’re talking about, then he is a real genius. Hey, where was I? Don’t interrupt me. I know you hope for a child too. John and I had conceived so quickly because I had a secret prescription.. You just have to take some tonics accordingly, I’ll give you the secret prescription later, and you’ll conceive very quickly.”
