Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 122: Going Home

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Going Home

After parting with Remi Sinclair and Clover Rowan, Wyatt Barnes gave Fill Bear some fragments of silver and bank notes, directing him to settle down in an inn.

Alone, he returned to the Lee Family estate.

"Wyatt Barnes?"

All the way, many of the Lee family’s descendants who saw Wyatt Barnes reacted as if they had seen a ghost.

Wyatt Barnes is back?

My God, he actually returned from the devilish Genius Camp!

In a moment, the whole Lee Family was in an uproar.

The news of Wyatt Barnes joining the Iron Blood Army’s Genius Camp had already spread throughout the Lee Family, so many people were aware of it.

However, they did not expect Wyatt Barnes to return alive.

Returning alive, what does that mean...

Everyone understood.

It means that Wyatt Barnes has secured a place in the ’Saint Martial Arts Academy’!

The Saint Martial Arts Academy, the most sacred institution in Crimson Heaven Kingdom, was always an unreachable dream for each of the Lee family’s descendants.

Now, someone from their Lee Family has actually secured a place in the Saint Martial Arts Academy...

This is undoubtedly an exciting news!

In the quiet courtyard, a graceful and beautiful girl was practicing her swordsmanship, the blade motion emitting a frigid aura...

Suddenly, the girl stopped and looked at the two small pythons on her wrist, sighing, "Young Master has been gone for over a year, when will he be back. Little Black, Little White, do you miss him?"

"They can’t miss him as much as my Keer."

Just then, a familiar voice rang beside the girl’s ear, making her tremble. Slowly, she turned around.

"My Keer has grown up."

Wyatt Barnes looked at the tall girl before him, her height had increased a bit, and the childlike innocence on her pretty face was fading...

What an astonishing transformation!

"Young Master!"

The girl’s eyes turned red, and at this moment, forgetting all the ceremonies, she quickly rushed towards Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes opened his arms, embracing the girl, smelling the fresh scent of her hair and softly said, "Keer, I am back!"

The girl nodded, unwilling to leave Wyatt Barnes’ embrace for a long time.

How she wished this moment could last forever...

Creak!

At this moment, the door of the nearby room opened.

"Is that Wyatt back?"

A radiant, beautiful woman stepped out slowly, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes...

"Mother, I’m back!"

Wyatt Barnes looked at the woman, his eyes revealing a gentle glow.

The girl, feeling shy, left Wyatt Barnes’ embrace, "La...Lady!"

"Silly girl, why are you being shy."

Christina Lee shook her head and laughed.

"That’s right, Keer, you are my soon-to-be wife, there’s nothing to be shy about."

Wyatt Barnes also said.

A year passed, Wyatt’s mother Christina Lee had not changed much; she was still as beautiful and charming as ever, and she did not seem like the mother of a seventeen-year-old at all.

"Bad boy!"

Suddenly, there was an excited voice from outside the courtyard.

Turning around, Wyatt Barnes saw a figure darting in and directly bumping into his embrace. She pounded his chest, "You rogue, you didn’t even visit me when you’re back. I would have no idea that you are back if I didn’t hear it from others."

"Jovie."

After not seeing her for a year, Jovie Lee had become more mature, constantly exuding charm that stirred Wyatt Barnes’ repressed desire.

Feeling his attraction, Jovie blushed and only then realized that Keer and Christina were nearby. Hastily, she left Wyatt Barnes’s embrace.

"Aunt Natalie, Sister Keer."

Jovie Lee greeted Christina Lee and Keer, so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole and hide...

"Wyatt, you’ve been traveling all day, you must be hungry. I’ll prepare some food for you."

Christina Lee went into the kitchen, busying herself.

Keer also followed her in.

At that moment, Jovie looked at Wyatt Barnes, "Did you..."

"Go to see grandpa, right?"

Wyatt Barnes interrupted Jovie, as if he could see through her thoughts.

Jovie nodded softly.

"Of course, I must visit him. I haven’t been home for more than a year and I miss grandpa... Moreover, you are already mine now, naturally I want to pay respect to grandpa with you."

Wyatt Barnes held Jovie’s hand, squeezing her palm gently.

Meeting Atticus Lee again, Wyatt Barnes didn’t know if he was just being delusional, but when Atticus saw him, he seemed relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his chest...

Did he worry that Wyatt Barnes would meet Mishap at the Genius Camp?

Wyatt Barnes didn’t think too much about it.

"Grandpa."

Wyatt Barnes smiled at the old man.

"It’s good that you’re back, what are your plans now?"

Asked Atticus Lee.

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes noticed a hint of anticipation in his grandfather’s eyes.

"Grandpa, in a few days, I plan to set off, and this time, I am thinking of taking my mother, Keer, and Jovie to the Imperial City... Grandpa, why don’t you come with us?"

Wyatt Barnes revealed his plan.

As Sami Thorn, the commander of the Iron Blood Army, said, if he leads his family to the Imperial City by carriage, taking rests along the way, it will take almost a year.

So, this time he came back and didn’t plan to stay for long.

"I won’t go, I’ll spend my life here at the Lee Family."

The old man shook his head.

"Grandpa, if you don’t go, neither will I."

Jovie pouted and acted like a spoiled child.

"Jovie, you’re all grown, you’re not a little girl anymore. I believe that this kid Wyatt will treat you well. Even if you leave, you can come back and visit grandpa whenever you can, right? Don’t worry, your grandpa hasn’t gotten so old that he needs someone to take care of him."

Atticus Lee’s face was filled with affection.

"Grandpa."

Jovie Lee’s eyes were slightly red.

Wyatt Barnes kept his gaze on the old man, sensing something was off but couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

"Grandpa, let’s have dinner together tonight."

Looking at the darkening sky, Wyatt Barnes said to the old man.

"Alright, today I’ll enjoy a meal at your place."

The old man laughed, "I can also ask you about the training at Genius Camp of the Iron Blood Army. I’m quite curious."

Dinner was exceptionally lively today.

Apart from the old man, Keer, Jovie, and Christina Lee were all interested in the Genius Camp

Wyatt Barnes shared his experiences over the past year in the Genius Camp, leaving out some of the more dangerous incidents.

When it came to the death of Westyn Morgan and Mustafa Rowan, Wyatt Barnes sighed deeply.

"Everyone will eventually die, and we all have to face separation... Once you relax and understand these, you’ll feel better... Besides, you’ve fulfilled Mustafa’s last wish. If he could know, he would rest in peace."

With his life experiences, the old man was the sage who comforted him.

"Don’t worry, Grandpa, I’ve learned to let things go."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"Out of the ninety-eight who passed the Genius Camp assessment, only seven survived... Indeed, its reputation of being a brutal training ground isn’t unfounded."

Jovie Lee sighed.

"Mom, you and Keer should get ready. I’ve decided to set off for the Imperial City in three days."

After dinner, having bid goodbye to the old man and Jovie, Wyatt Barnes told Christina Lee.

Christina Lee nodded. She had been prepared, so she wasn’t surprised.

Then, Wyatt Barnes began to play with the two small pythons, "Little Black, Little White... It’s been over a year, have your skills improved? You haven’t been idling, have you?"

As if understanding Wyatt Barnes’s words, the two small pythons raised their heads proudly and nodded at Wyatt Barnes.

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes noticed that the horns on Little Black and Little White’s heads were now completely visible.

"It seems you both have made great progress."

Wyatt Barnes could guess from their physical changes that their strength had improved...

The strength of Fierce Beasts generally came with physical changes.

That was the experience of the Martial Emperor.

The next morning.

Just after breakfast, an unexpected guest arrived at Wyatt Barnes’s home.

Clan Chief Atticus Lee!

"Wyatt Barnes, congratulations."

Atticus Lee had a brilliant smile on his face.

"Thank you, Chief."

Wyatt Barnes replied with a small smile.

"This is just a small token from the Lee Family. When you get to the Sacred Martial Academy, don’t forget that you’re part of the Lee Family."

Atticus Lee handed a bundle of silver notes to Wyatt Barnes as he spoke.

"Chief, I’m not one to forget my roots. There’s really no need for you to be so polite."

Although Wyatt Barnes spoke in this manner, he accepted the silver notes and weighed them. There had to be at least two million taels.

He clearly understood Atticus Lee’s intention - trying to win him over in advance and insure his loyalty to the Lee Family.

That way, if he were to become successful in the future, the Lee Family would also flourish.

"This money might help you now, but it’ll be nothing to you in the future."

Atticus Lee sighed.

Anyone who graduated from the Sacred Martial Academy was a person of significance, at least a government official.

At that time, their status would be far beyond that of a Clan Chief of the Lee Family.

"Regardless, I’d still like to thank you, Chief, for your timely help."

Wyatt Barnes said with a smile.

"When do you plan to go to the Imperial City?"

Chief Atticus Lee asked.

"I plan to leave the day after tomorrow."

Wyatt Barnes answered.

"So soon?"

Atticus Lee was surprised.

"If it were just me, I could make the trip in a few months... but this time, I’m taking my mother and planning on using a horse-drawn carriage."

Wyatt Barnes added.

"In that case, leave the matter of the carriage to me."

Atticus Lee said.

"Thank you, Chief."

Wyatt Barnes showed a thankful smile.

Having bid goodbye to Atticus Lee, Wyatt Barnes left the Lee residence and visited Shally Don at the pharmacy.

"Kid, you finally made it back alive."

Shally Don teased, half smiling, half scolding.

"I bet you were hoping I wouldn’t come back."

Wyatt Barnes rolled his eyes at Shally Don.

"When are you leaving?"

Shally Don asked the same question as Atticus Lee.

"That’s why I’m here to speak with you. I’m leaving the day after tomorrow."

Wyatt Barnes said with a smile.

"When you leave, you’ll certainly take the girl with you. What about the Six-Treasure Body Quenching Fluid?"

Shally Don stared at Wyatt Barnes intently, "How about you sell me the recipe?"

"No!"

Wyatt Barnes responded tersely.

Although he had expected this answer, Shally Don couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
