Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1810

Chapter 1810: Chapter 1810: Competing for Opportunities_1 Chapter 1810: Chapter 1810: Competing for Opportunities_1 Ethan Smith paused, and then hurriedly said, “Going to the Central Province? Are there missions?”

Willa nodded with a smile, “Yes, just arrived, but there are only eight spots for the Central Province this time, managed by Ninth Cloud.”

“Eight spots?” Ethan Smith frowned slightly.

Putting aside the number of spots, it was normal for two people to form a group.

Now that there were eight people, it was enough to show that going to the Central Province was extremely dangerous.

What made Ethan even more worried was his relationship with Ninth Cloud.

In the beginning, both Ethan and Salena Carpenter had offended him, so it would be difficult for him to give a spot to Ethan.

“Are you going?” Ethan asked.

Willa shook her head and said, “I won't go. I never participate in life-threatening missions.”

Ethan was silent and then asked, “When can we sign up?”

“Tomorrow,” Willa said.

Ethan nodded and said, “Alright, I got it.”

“Willa, why are you standing outside? Hurry in and have something to eat!” At this moment, Salena's voice came from inside.

Only then did Ethan realize that he was being rude, and he quickly bowed and said, “I'm sorry, I was too anxious, let's go in and chat.”

Willa didn't stand on ceremony and promptly followed Ethan into the cave abode.

Inside the cave abode, Salena had already roasted a huge yak.

It had to be said that Salena's cooking was absolutely perfect. Perhaps it was due to her experience in eating a lot, but the meat she roasted was tender, juicy, and incredibly succulent. Willa praised her while eating.

“Ah, I'm really envious of your life together. It's just like a young married couple,” Willa couldn't help but sigh as she wiped her mouth.

Salena glared at Willa and scolded, “Nonsense, I'm too old to be his grandmother.”

Willa bitterly smiled, “In this world, does anyone care about age? Upon Reaching the Reversion Void Stage, one has a lifespan of over a thousand years. True Saints can live for thousands of years. What is age?”

What she said was indeed not false. For cultivators, age seemed to be just a counting unit.

“Enough, let's not talk about this anymore.” Ethan changed the subject.

“Willa, do you think there's a possibility that I can keep my place in the Thunder Courtyard but not return for a long time?” Ethan asked.

Willa was somewhat surprised and said, “Why, do you want to leave the Thunder Courtyard? I have to tell you that the cultivation here is far superior to that of any other place.”

Ethan was filled with bitterness in his heart.

He knew, of course, that listening to the Great Dao and feeling the aura of the Immortal Emperor here was incomparable to any other place.

However, Ethan's current situation made staying in the Thunder Courtyard too dangerous.

Moreover, once Ethan stepped into the Reversion Void Stage, he would definitely go to the Central Province, and there was no way he could stay at the Thunder Courtyard for a long time.

“The resources controlled by the Thunder Courtyard are beyond my reach in my lifetime, but I've grown accustomed to freedom and find it hard to stay in the same place for a long time,” Ethan explained.

Willa thought for a moment and said, “If you want to enter and leave the Thunder Courtyard freely, you must have made a significant contribution to it, or you must stand out among its people. Otherwise, if you leave the Thunder Courtyard for more than a year, you will never be able to set foot in it again.”

“One year…” Ethan murmured.

To cultivators, a year was extremely short, as if in the blink of an eye.

Ethan was absolutely unwilling to give up the Thunder Courtyard like this.

“What does it mean to stand out in the Thunder Courtyard?” Ethan continued to ask.

Willa smiled and said, “It's simple. There is a competition between the main peaks every ten years. You just need to get into the top three to qualify.”

“I see.” Ethan nodded slightly.

“However, let me tell you, besides the first main peak, there are many people on any other main peak in the Thunder Courtyard, and their strength is extremely strong,” Willa continued.

“Even many top aristocratic family heirs from the Central Province are in the Thunder Courtyard. Their powerful bloodlines flow through their bodies, making them incomparable to ordinary people. It's very difficult to stand out among them.”

“Even Ninth Cloud, the first person in the Demon-slaying Peak, is only ranked fifth.”

Ethan nodded slightly.

For the Rayleigh Province and even the entire Holy Region, the Thunder Courtyard was an indispensable existence, with countless heaven's favorites.

However, Ethan was not afraid. He would not fear anyone at the same realm, no matter their bloodline or extraordinary physique.

“Thank you.” Ethan nodded to Willa.

Willa waved her hand, indicating it was no problem.

They chatted leisurely for a while before Willa left.

After she left, Ethan took a deep breath.

“I have to get a spot for tomorrow's event, no matter what.” Ethan clenched his fist and thought secretly.

Salena wrinkled her nose and said, “That little bastard, Ninth Cloud, might bear a grudge.”

“Willa said it won't happen, but who knows.” Ethan smiled bitterly.

“It's alright, if it really doesn't work out, I'll go by myself and transfer the points to you later,” Salena patted Ethan's shoulder and comforted him.

Ethan looked at Salena and shook his head, “I'm not going for the points this time, I'm going to the Central Province.”

That was the place Ethan had always dreamed of, and this was his only chance to go to the Central Province.

The next day.

Ethan and Salena arrived early at Ninth Cloud's cave abode.

In the cave abode, Ninth Cloud and the peak master were playing chess inside.

The door to the cave abode was tightly closed, and outside there were dozens of Devil Hunters from Demon-slaying Peak waiting.

This made Ethan's heart sink.

They were all Reversion Void Stage cultivators. Ninth Cloud wouldn't give up a Reversion Void cultivator for Ethan, who was only in the Mighty Realm.

“Ethan Smith, you're here too.” At that moment, someone nearby greeted him.

Ethan smiled and nodded in response.

“Ethan, there's no point in going to the Central Province with only the Mighty Realm. It's too dangerous.”

“Yeah, we all know you want to go to the Central Province, but if you go at your current level, it's just suicide. We're not going for fun either.”

“Don't be hasty. Slow down and wait until you step into the Reversion Void Stage.”

Ethan knew they meant well, but he would never give up.

So, Ethan slightly bowed and said, “Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to try.”

Seeing this, the people around him stopped persuading him further and just shook their heads.

They all knew about Ethan's stubbornness, and any further persuasion would be useless.

At this moment, the door of Ninth Cloud's cave abode slowly opened.

Everyone was talking and laughing as they walked into the cave abode.

Ethan didn't waste any time and followed them in immediately.

Inside the cave abode, Ninth Cloud and the peak master stood in front, scanning the crowd.

When Ninth Cloud's gaze fell on Ethan, his brow clearly furrowed.
