Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 419 ’Old Fox

Chapter 419: Chapter 419 ’Old Fox

Inside the spacious hall of Ancient River Trading Chamber’s branch.

Including Wyatt Barnes, the people from Seven Stars Sword Clan, all gathered together.

"Wyatt Barnes, you are quite adept at hiding... If it weren’t for the personal letter from the Sect Leader, I would not have known that you had accomplished so much in less than three years since joining our Seven Stars Sword Clan!"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes again, Peni Relief’s eyes shone brightly like stars, and a friendly smile blooming on his face.

Wyatt Barnes gave a slight smile.

He was well aware that since Peni Relief had received a handwritten letter from Sect Leader Zeke Foxsong, he must have gained some understanding of his past.

Most importantly, his identity has been confirmed without doubt.

Peni Relief’s words aroused the curiosity of the other two internal disciples, excluding Shine Dunn and his son.

"Elder Peni Relief, you should probably share with us the content of the Sect Leader’s personal letter, right?"

"Yes, we are also interested in Wyatt Barnes’s achievements."

Looking at Peni Relief, the two Seven Stars Sword Clan inner disciples curiously asked.

"You two youngsters."

Peni Relief gave a shake of his head and a smile, just about to speak when he was interrupted.

"Wyatt Barnes, inner disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan Conquered the position of top external disciple not long after joining by killing ’Ronin Stone’ at the age of twenty. A year later, with his cultivation at the ninth level of the Original Pill Realm, he killed ’Aya Willow’, a first-level Original Infant Realm inner disciple."

"Not long ago, in the ’Martial Competition’ of the Five Great Sects, Wyatt Barnes defeated ’Young Master Blade’ ’Kase Dragonsmith’ of the Demon Lotus Blade Clan, securing the supreme honor of ’first place’ for the Seven Stars Sword Clan!"

It was actually Shine Dunn who stepped forward and explained all this in one breath.

It left the two Seven Stars Sword Clan inner disciples astonished.

Although they knew that Wyatt Barnes was very strong, they did not expect how astonishing his deeds within the Seven Stars Sword Clan were.

He had simply done something unprecedented in the Seven Stars Sword Clan!

For a moment, their gaze towards Wyatt Barnes was filled with awe.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes noticed after Shine Dunn’s detailed introduction, he turned towards him and said sincerely: "Last time, I was unable to confirm your identity as an inner disciple, so I said some harsh words... I hope you didn’t take it to heart."

"Elder Shine Dunn is too courteous."

Seeing Shine Dunn being so polite, Wyatt Barnes responded with a smile.

It seemed that Shine Dunn was not as unbearable as his son...

Being an Elder of the Seven Stars Sword Clan and still willing to apologize to an internal disciple was rare.

"Bastard, did you forget what I said on the way here? Apologize at once."

Soon, Wyatt Barnes saw Shine Dunn’s gaze shift from him to Leo Dunn, filled with a hint of anger.

Leo Dunn drew in a deep breath, looked at Wyatt Barnes, and lowered his head, "Wyatt Barnes, what happened last time was my fault...I shouldn’t have done that. And what follows was because of my own doing! From now on, I won’t hold a grudge against you, and hope we can let bygones be bygones."

This statement caught Wyatt Barnes off guard.

His first thought was that Shine Dunn must have forced Leo to say this...

However, regardless of the process, since Leo Dunn could say these words now, it undoubtedly showed a sense of compromise.

He was not an unreasonable person, so he smiled faintly, "Elder Brother Leo Dunn, although this matter started because of you, my solution was a bit excessive... I apologize."

Leo Dunn nodded and retreated quietly.

"Everything is fine now, it’s bright after rain... Wyatt Barnes is indeed our Seven Stars Sword Clan’s inner disciple, no doubt about it!"

Peni Relief let out a hearty laugh, quite delighted.

He was pleased to have such a prodigy in the Seven Stars Sword Clan.

"Elder Peni Relief, Elder Shine Dunn... I have to discuss something with you in advance."

Wyatt Barnes looked at Peni Relief and Shine Dunn, and spoke slowly.

"What is it?"

"You tell us."

Peni Relief and Shine Dunn looked at Wyatt Barnes together, showing an attitude of no matter what the problem we will solve it for you.

"It’s like this... I’m planning to leave Ancient Ruined City and wander alone for a while."

Wyatt Barnes said bluntly.

He had decided on this plan two months ago, before he left with the caravan.

Now that his identity has been confirmed, it’s time for him to leave.

He always felt that staying in Ancient Ruined City didn’t serve much purpose to gain experience...

Perhaps, wandering alone could yield better results in terms of gaining combat experience.

Wyatt Barnes’s words caused Peni Relief to frown, "Wyatt Barnes, the Sect Leader has sent you here with hopes that you can harness experience... Not only that, I believe the Sect Leader might have decided this considering the fact that with Elder Shine Dunn and me looking after you in Ancient Ruined City, even if you encounter any danger, we can help you tide it over."

"Yes, Wyatt Barnes. If you wander alone and encounter any danger, if something wrong happens to you, how do we explain to the Sect Leader?"

Shine Dunn nodded, agreeing with Peni Relief’s words.

"Both Elders can rest assured, I will act accordingly... I won’t do anything rash."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and smiled, with a look of absolute determination.

Seeing Wyatt Barnes insisting, Peni Relief and Shine Dunn didn’t say anything more...

Peni Relief warned solemnly, "Wyatt Barnes, when you are out and about, you must ensure your safety... you should know, you’re not only responsible for yourself, but also the future of the Seven Stars Sword Clan."

"Yeah, you must be careful."

Shine Dunn also added.

"Don’t worry, elders. I will."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, then said, "In that case, I will embark on my journey immediately..."

"There’s no rush."

Shine Dunn gave a small smile, halting him: "Wyatt Barnes, you just returned today, covered in dust and dirt... Tonight, allow my son and I to host you at the tavern for a meal. You can set off tomorrow, what do you think?"

"That works."

Wyatt Barnes, not suspecting anything, nodded in agreement.

To him, setting off a day early or late didn’t make much of a difference.

"Then tonight we’ll make the most of Elder Shine Dunn."

Peni Relief laughed.

Laughter filled the spacious hall.

That evening, Shine Dunn and his son hosted a feast for everyone from the Seven Stars Sword Clan at the local branch of the Ancient River Trading Chamber.

"Tonight’s feast is both a way for my son and me to make amends, and a farewell to you, Wyatt Barnes."

Shine Dunn raised a wine glass, then glared at Leo Dunn. Father and son joined Wyatt Barnes in a toast.

"Elder Shine Dunn is too courteous; getting to know Brother Leo through conflict wasn’t so bad."

Wyatt Barnes raised his glass in return and toasted to Shine Dunn and his son.

Soon after, Peni Relief and two other disciples from the Seven Stars Sword Clan also joined in...

The six of them continued drinking late into the night.

"Wyatt Barnes, the next time you’re back, we’ll continue drinking."

Shine Dunn smiled at Wyatt Barnes and hauled away his ’dead-drunk’ son, Leo Dunn, back to his courtyard.

"Ok."

Wyatt Barnes responded, walking shoulder to shoulder with Peni Relief towards a different direction.

After bidding his farewell to Peni Relief, Wyatt Barnes returned to his own courtyard.

Back in his courtyard, Wyatt Barnes’ pretense of drunkenness was nowhere to be seen. His muddy eyes cleared up.

"Brother Wyatt, the two guys surnamed Dunn have suddenly become so friendly, there must be some conspiracy..."

Wyatt Barnes’s ears picked up the sound of Little Gold’s voice, infused with origin force.

"Little Gold, I didn’t expect even you to see through this."

Wyatt Barnes pulled Little Gold out of his sleeve, stroking its fur. His eyes sparkled with an intimidating glow, "That ’old fox’, Shine Dunn, is quite the actor, he nearly fooled me. Unfortunately, his dimwitted son let the cat out of the bag."

He had picked up on it when he was still in the hall of the Ancient River Trading Chamber. When Shine Dunn suggested that he should set off tomorrow, it felt even more off.

Shine Dunn seemed to be stalling.

"Brother Wyatt, why don’t we leave under the cover of night?"

Little Gold suggested via origin force.

"No worries, we’ll leave tomorrow... I’m curious to see what tricks Shine Dunn has up his sleeve!"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes turned chilly, and a dismissive and sarcastic smile graced his lips.

Nearly at the same time,

In a courtyard on the other side of the Ancient River Trading Chamber, Shine Dunn’s muddy eyes flashed with a brilliant light. The previous drunken state was nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, Leo Dunn, whom Shine Dunn had let down, had also sobered up.

How could this be a heavily intoxicated man?

"Dad, since Wyatt Barnes is leaving tomorrow... you can track and attack him tomorrow. Once he’s dead and you’ve seized the ’Ching Washes the Marrow Sutra’ from him, good days will follow!"

By the time Leo Dunn finished speaking, his face was full of excitement.

"No..."

"Shine Dunn shook his head, "Tomorrow, not only will I not track him when he leaves, but I will also go have tea with Peni Relief."

Leo Dunn was stupefied, "Dad, if you don’t go after him, won’t he run away?"

"Lei, sometimes, you need to think more... My decision not to pursue and kill Wyatt Barnes doesn’t mean I won’t let others do it."

Shine Dunn’s face broke out into a fox-like smile.

"This way, indeed, nothing can go wrong. But what about the ’Ching Washes the Marrow Sutra’? If we let Wyatt Barnes escape this time, we don’t know when we’ll get another opportunity like this."

Leo Dunn’s eyebrows furrowed, his face showing his displeasure.

"Lei."

Shine Dunn sighed, pointing to his own head, "Sometimes, you need to think more... Me not pursuing and killing Wyatt Barnes for the ’Ching Washes the Marrow Sutra’, doesn’t mean I won’t let others kill him and take the ’Ching Washes the Marrow Sutra’."

"For us, it doesn’t matter who kills him... what matters most is the ’Ching Washes the Marrow Sutra’!"

Upon hearing Shine Dunn’s words, Leo Dunn’s eyes lit up, "Dad, you think of everything!"
