Chapter 263: Chapter 263: The Desire for Dragon God’s Power

Scarlett Jennings still didn’t know what had happened in the Jennings Family. After a brief lunch break, she followed a few guests back to the Taoism Academy’s afternoon training session.

Compared to the excitement of the morning’s audience interactions, the afternoon’s live broadcast seemed a bit dull.

But this didn’t stop the viewers from enjoying it; the number of online viewers continued to climb.

Most of the viewers were online passersby.

They originally weren’t very interested in this kind of mystical reality show.

Yet they happened to see the rainmaking replay video shared by netizens.

It was rainmaking!

A ritual passed down by Chinese descendants for thousands of years!

An essential traditional task during droughts!

Many people were quite interested.

And once they started watching, they couldn’t stop, even going back to watch previous episodes’ highlight clips.

The mountain region could barely be described as peaceful and serene.

However, many Mystical Sect masters who saw the video of Scarlett and Gregory Xander’s rainmaking duel were unsettled, either analyzing Scarlett’s four-talisman drawing technique or studying how she summoned such a rainfall.

In a certain courtyard in the Capital Metropolitan.

An old man looked gravely at the iPad in his hand,

"Just from the spiritual power on this young lady, it shouldn’t be enough to summon such a sudden rain; she must have invoked the Dragon God’s power, though how she got it to respond is unknown."

Clearly, the prayers, even the hand signs, were the same.

Could it be that the talisman-drawing method was wrong?

The old man pondered, just as a trendy-looking little old man across from him scoffed lightly with his phone in hand,

"Other than that person from the Special Security Bureau, who else can casually invoke the Dragon God’s power?

But that person has been missing for how many years? This girl doesn’t even match the age. Probably she’s hiding some magic artifact with the Dragon God aura."

Upon hearing this, the old man only chuckled, turning to look at another long-bearded old man sitting at another side of the square table.

"Regardless, the Sea City Taoist Academy picked a good seedling this year, congratulations."

The long-bearded old man, the president of the Sea City Taoist Academy, had been wanting to grin since earlier, but now had to maintain his dignity, responding calmly and confidently,

"Not too bad, there are quite a few with decent potential in this batch of youngsters."

He paused again, "But they are young, their personalities still need to mature."

"Publicizing the existence of our Mystical Sect in this way is quite effective."

The old man said, "Back then, mysticism was branded as feudal superstition, nearly cutting off its lineage like traditional Chinese medicine, forced into hiding, but now it’s time to vindicate our Mystical Sect."

The little old man beside showed a sour expression upon hearing this but quickly changed the topic, pointing at a frozen frame of Scarlett drawing a talisman on his phone and asking the Sea City Academy president.

"This chaotic talisman-drawing style, I feel like I’ve seen it before. That person also came out of your Sea City Academy! What was their name again, Magnolia..."

The Sea City president looked at the still image on the phone screen, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes,

"Yes, Magnolia Hearne... It’s been so many years, didn’t expect her disciple to also enter the same academy."

The coincidences of the Taoist lineage are always so indescribable.

The three elders leisurely chatted about this, while at the Capital Taoist Academy, numerous students fervently discussed the video.

Unlike the three elders, many among them quietly followed the entire live broadcast.

They all marveled at the formidable newcomer Scarlett Jennings.

"Initially, I thought she was just like Evander Simpson, with some minor skills, but unexpectedly she managed to beat Gregory Xander from the Xander Family."

As they spoke, they saw a senior sister in a Taoist robe walking by, suddenly scoffing coldly,

"Gregory Xander, that failure, went to Sea City and couldn’t even surpass a freshman, and just let such a person make a spectacle online!"

The others who were discussing fell silent until the senior sister walked away, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

"That was also from the Xander Family, right?"

"From a branch family, but she’s the one raised by the family head since childhood. Considering her rigid temperament, she’s just like Gregory Xander."

"Tch, no wonder a branch dares to act so arrogantly towards the main family."

"Indeed, it’s said that the Xander Family head valued this branch child so much, he angered his own son to the point of leaving."

Otherwise, how would Gregory Xander, a proper heir of the Capital’s Mystical Sect lineage, end up at the Sea City Academy and stay there for more than three years?

They clicked their tongues in astonishment.

In Sea City also, the old man with greying hair shifted his gaze from the now-clear sky outside the window back to Scarlett in the live stream.

The originally haggard and malicious look in his eyes now had a glint of greed,

"Dragon God’s Power... she could actually borrow the Dragon God’s Power... previously, she was underestimated."

No wonder his plan using the Gibney Family’s child to deal with her had failed.

This Scarlett Jennings was far more capable than he thought.

Previously, he intended to teach her a lesson.

Now, he had no choice but to change his plan.

Instead of revenge, now he wanted the Dragon God’s Power even more...

Sea City Taoist Academy.

After an afternoon of "cultivation," the guests were almost too exhausted to stand upright.

For the first time, they couldn’t be bothered about their image in front of the camera. After receiving the takeaway Scarlett Jennings had ordered in advance, they waved back at the camera as a sign-off gesture, then each moved back to their own dormitory.

To align with the academy’s schedule, the program team’s broadcasting time was adjusted, and it was just past seven when the live stream ended amidst viewers’ lamenting cries.

Scarlett returned to her dormitory, just changed out of her slightly dirty Taoist robe, and her phone on the table started ringing crazily.

She was surprised to see Lucas Jennings requesting a video call and raised an eyebrow.

Lucas Jennings usually wouldn’t dare to disturb her with a video call, especially right after her broadcast ended.

Unwilling to answer, she directly hung up.

Yet, as soon as she did, another video request came through.

Scarlett was puzzled, and after leisurely changing into comfortable casual clothes, she finally accepted the video call.

To her surprise, it was not Lucas Jennings on the other end, but Adam Jennings.

Adam Jennings’s handsome face popped up suddenly, and because it was a video call, Scarlett could hear Lucas Jennings seemingly shouting angrily through a door.

As Adam saw the call connected and was about to speak, Scarlett, expressionless, directly hung up the call.

Adam was initially stunned, and realizing he was hung up on, he began frantically dialing again.

Scarlett became slightly impatient, instinctively wanting to block him, but upon seeing he was using Lucas Jennings’s account, she reconsidered and reconnected.

She wanted to see what nonsense he had to say.

As soon as the call was answered, Adam’s face bore traces of annoyance, apparently fearing she’d hang up again, he got straight to the point,

"Scarlett Jennings, you are Grant!"

His assertive tone carried a hint of interrogation.
