Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1405: Debt-Free and Carefree

Chapter 1405: Chapter 1405: Debt-Free and Carefree

Wyatt Barnes was just preparing to enter the Jewel Tower when he heard voices outside.

He recognized them as the voices of Baer Bear and Ingot Gold.

The ’Master’ they referred to was undoubtedly the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

"So soon?"

Wyatt Barnes was somewhat surprised.

Without guessing, he knew why the City Lord of Hill Mountain City was looking for him.

Just as Jemma Clifford had said.

Once the City Lord of Hill Mountain City knew of his ’battle achievements’ in the valley, he was almost certain to accept him as a disciple... after all, his achievements were even more exaggerated than Baer Bear’s.

Besides, there was something even Jemma Clifford didn’t know.

That was, he had killed the bandit who was at the Small Perfection stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm.

With the skills of the mid-stage Transcending Mortal Realm, to kill someone at the Small Perfection stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm... his talent and strength were enough to draw unprecedented ’attention’ from the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

Stepping out of the cabin, Wyatt Barnes happened to see Baer Bear and Ingot Gold arriving at their respective cabins.

"Wyatt Barnes, you are simply a ’freak’!"

The True Energy voice transmission of Ingot Gold timely entered his ears.

Although Baer Bear didn’t say anything, his gaze towards Wyatt Barnes was also extremely solemn.

Wyatt Barnes leaped down from the platform, preparing to leave the Hidden Dragon Camp.

Just as he was about to exit the gate of the Hidden Dragon Camp, a figure like a ghost suddenly appeared before him, blocking his path.

"So fast!"

Seeing the one of the thirty-six personal guards, ’Guardian Harvey’, appear before him, Wyatt Barnes was secretly alarmed, "This speed isn’t something that a Martial Artist with the Small Perfection stage of Transcending Mortal Realm could achieve."

Out of curiosity, Wyatt Barnes activated the ’Heavenly Eye’.

In an instant, he scrutinized Guardian Harvey’s cultivation level.

"Transcending Mortal Realm Big Perfection?"

Wyatt Barnes was taken aback, not expecting Guardian Harvey to have also made a breakthrough.

It should be noted, when he first arrived at Hidden Dragon Camp and saw Guardian Harvey, he had used ’Heavenly Eye’ to inspect him.

At that time, Guardian Harvey was only at the Small Perfection stage of Transcending Mortal Realm.

Guardian Harvey came quickly, and left just as swiftly.

Just as Wyatt Barnes regained his composure, Guardian Harvey had already departed.

"What’s going on?"

"Wasn’t Guardian Harvey stopping Wyatt Barnes from leaving? Why isn’t he stopping him now?"

...

The crowd of Hidden Dragon Camp members who had originally planned to watch the excitement suddenly felt a great disappointment.

Only Wyatt Barnes knew, it must be either Baer Bear or Ingot Gold who told Guardian Harvey the ’reason’ for his departure from the Hidden Dragon Camp... with the summoning from the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, how could Guardian Harvey dare to stop him?

Leaving the Hidden Dragon Camp and returning to the Council Hall, Wyatt Barnes knew he had guessed correctly.

"Wyatt Barnes, I wish to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?"

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City, squinting his eyes, straightforwardly asked Wyatt Barnes.

"Lord of the City, if I agree to become your disciple, what benefits will there be?"

Upon hearing the City Lord of Hill Mountain City’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes also asked straightforwardly.

No sooner had Wyatt Barnes spoken than Heavenly Guard’s expression changed, barking angrily: "Wyatt Barnes, don’t get cocky! It’s a blessing of three lifetimes for you that the City Lord wishes to take you as a disciple."

He hadn’t expected Wyatt Barnes to be so bold as to bargain with the City Lord.

Wyatt Barnes ignored the Heavenly Guard, continuing to face the City Lord of Hill Mountain City calmly, as if waiting for his response.

After a brief pause, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, interested, asked: "What benefits do you want?"

"Lord of the City truly is straightforward!"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes lit up, "The benefits I want are not many... I only hope that the Lord of the City can promise me one request."

"Speak."

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City said.

"Lord of the City, I hope you can protect Jemma Clifford, ensuring she does not become a victim of family disputes in Jade Trust Town."

Wyatt Barnes said earnestly.

In front of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, aside from this, he asked for nothing else.

"Jade Trust Town?"

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City frowned, "Is Jemma Clifford from Jade Trust Town?"

As the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, he had some impressions of ’Jade Trust Town’.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, "Jemma Clifford is a member of the Clifford Family from Jade Trust Town, and also the strongest of the younger generation in Jade Trust Town! The other two families opposing the Clifford Family are all wanting her dead."

"What is she to you? To have you do so much for her?"

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City’s eyes held a hint of ambiguity.

"She is my friend... I help her, not for anything else, only to repay a favor."

Wyatt Barnes stated.

"Really just an ordinary friend?"

The gaze of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City became even more ambiguous.

"Really."

Wyatt Barnes nodded calmly, his heart not stirring the slightest ripple.

And what he said was the truth, he had no feelings for Jemma Clifford.

"Heavenly Guard, immediately transmit my command to Jade Trust Town... If any mishap occurs to Jemma Clifford, my mansion of the Hill Mountain City City Lord will exterminate those two families hostile to the Clifford Family."

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City looked at the Heavenly Guard, ordering.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Guard immediately withdrew, leaving the Council Hall, clearly to convey the command of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

For a time, in the vast Council Hall, only Wyatt Barnes and the City Lord of Hill Mountain City remained.

"I’ve seen the teacher."

Wyatt Barnes paid his respects to the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

"Teacher?"

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City frowned, he did not expect Wyatt Barnes to address him as ’teacher’.

Teacher and Master, although very similar, also have great differences... Compared to ’Master’, ’teacher’ is undoubtedly much more casual.

Generally speaking, one can only have one Master.

Even if one wishes to take a second Master, it requires the consent of the first Master; otherwise, it would be considered a great disrespect.

But ’teacher’ is different.

Teacher does not have so many formalities.

As long as it is an elder who has taught and guided one substantially, they can be called ’teacher’.

"Do you have a Master?"

After a while, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City relaxed his brows and asked.

"No."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head.

"Then why don’t you address me as ’Master’, but as ’teacher’?"

As the City Lord of Hill Mountain City asked, his tone became more severe and dissatisfied.

"The teacher, one who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts... In my eyes, a Master is like a bright light in the night, guiding me forward. A teacher, on the other hand, is someone who has helped me during my growth."

Wyatt Barnes said truthfully.

For this reason, in his heart, even if he acknowledged the City Lord of Hill Mountain City as his teacher, the City Lord would only be his ’teacher’, not his ’Master’.

The term ’Master’ is too heavy.

"It seems, you mean I can’t teach you anymore?"

A cold light flickered in the eyes of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, his tone getting deeper.

"If the teacher could become the guiding light leading forward... At that time, I would naturally be willing to address you as ’Master’. But for now, you are still a teacher."

Facing the increasingly displeased City Lord of Hill Mountain City, Wyatt Barnes’s expression remained as calm as ever.

"Hmph! You may leave."

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City huffed.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes didn’t say much, and after responding, he turned and left, exiting the Council Hall.

Watching Wyatt Barnes’s figure disappear, the gloom on the face of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City vanished, replaced by a smile, "Truly a unique young fellow."

"With the cultivation of mid Transcending Mortal Realm, killing a Martial Artist of Small Perfection in Transcending Mortal Realm... It seems, this youngster has quite the secret."

Towards the end, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City was almost murmuring to himself.

"Jemma Clifford’s matter is finally resolved."

On the way back to the Hidden Dragon Camp, a smile hung on Wyatt Barnes’s face; he had finally repaid the favor he owed Jemma Clifford.

Without debts, one feels light.

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes felt as light as a feather.

"In three days, I will check the Hall of Merit."

After returning to Hidden Dragon Camp, a thought crossed Wyatt Barnes’s mind.

In three days, he could use the ’points’ he earned from today’s trial to exchange for ’merit points’... and then, use these merit points to obtain some items from the City Lord’s mansion.

Perhaps, he might find something he desires.

While Wyatt Barnes entered the second floor of the Jewel Tower to continue his practice... an order, issued from the Main Mansion of Hill Mountain City, was sent far and wide.

It reached all the way to ’Jade Trust Town’.

Jade Trust Town, also known as ’Jade Trust Island’, is an island located not far outside the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

Today, Jade Trust Island was not quiet.

Only because an ’envoy’ from the Main Mansion of Hill Mountain City came with an order from the City Lord.

"Descendant of the Clifford Family, ’Jemma Clifford’, is a member of the Hidden Dragon Camp of Hill Mountain City Main Mansion... If anything happens, the Main Mansion of Hill Mountain City will intervene, annihilating the two major families opposing the Clifford Family."

This was the original message of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

After the order was issued, the whole Clifford Family was boiling, each member of the Clifford family was inexplicably excited.

They, the most outstanding descendant of the Clifford Family, were under the protection of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

Unlike the excitement of the Clifford Family, the other two major families were very gloomy, as if they had just held a funeral.

"The Main Mansion of Hill Mountain City, protecting Jemma Clifford?"

They could not understand why the City Lord of Hill Mountain City would protect Jemma Clifford.

"Investigate! Send people to investigate!"

"We must find out why the City Lord of Hill Mountain City would protect Jemma Clifford... Also, stop any covert actions targeting Jemma Clifford by those undercover from Hill Mountain City."

...

Orders were passed down from the two major families, and people from these families began to head towards the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

At the same time, people from the Clifford Family also left Jade Trust Island.

The Clifford Family also wanted to know what exactly was going on.

By the time Jemma Clifford knew all this, it was already three days later.

"The City Lord issued an order to protect me?"

Upon first hearing the news, Jemma Clifford was somewhat dumbfounded.

However, she quickly came to her senses, realizing this all must be somehow related to Wyatt Barnes.

"Wyatt Barnes, it was you... right?"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes walking slowly out from hut number six, Jemma Clifford couldn’t help but ask for confirmation.

"Hmm?"

Looking at the excited face of Jemma Clifford, Wyatt Barnes was momentarily stunned.

He had just come out of the Jewel Tower and was initially slow to react, not understanding the meaning behind Jemma Clifford’s words.

It was only after Jemma Clifford spoke again that he began to realize.
