Chapter 183
Ian did not believe that Moana would reject his conditions.
As long as it was an average person, it would be impossible for them to refuse his offer.
Moreover, Ian thought he did enough.
As the sect’s elder, Ian could humble himself and apologize to Leonardo, which proved his sincerity.
Ian stared at Leonardo, waiting for him to nod.
The rest of the elders present were also confident that Moana was the Dark Moon Sect’s disciple.
They were also feeling excited, and they could not help but imagine how great it would be if they were Richard.
After all, entering the Dark Moon Sect implied that the road to immortality would be smooth, and one would not need to go through so many obstacles.
At that time, Moana was still deep in thoughts and did not immediately reply to Ian.
Instead, he looked around his surroundings as if he was searching for someone.
Not long after, Moana smiled at a slender person in a light yellow dress.
“I thought you won’t be coming.”
Following Moana’s line of sight, the crowd saw a young lady with a gentle and quiet temperament standing not far away, looking at Richard.
“It’s the Heavenly Stars Sect!”
“It’s Josua Pine from the Heavenly Stars Sect!”
Immediately, a few people recognized the talented girl who rose to fame in recent years.
Ian remained silent and flashed a smile.
Nonetheless, he did not think that Moana would choose the Heavenly Stars Sect.
Even though the Heavenly Stars Sect’s status in Earlington of Efrax was on par with the Dark Moon Sect’s, the Heavenly Stars Sects focused more on inscriptions and formations, and it would not be a big help to Richard.
Some people were sanctified through magic, while the others were through their gifted physiques.
However, since the ancient past, no one was able to be sanctified through inscriptions or formations.
Those two paths were not great roads, and they were not in line with Moana‘s ambition. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Hence, Ian was confident that Moana would still choose the Dark Moon Sect.
Since Moana already noticed her, Josua did not continue to hide, and she directly walked toward Richard.
Then, she smiled and said, “You did great.
I saw it all.”
After a pause, Josua continued, I’I know you’re ambitious.
Since you’ve already decided, you should make your choice.
No matter what sect you enter, I’ll always support you.”
Although Josua said that, Moana could still see the slight trace of reluctance in her eyes.
After all, Josua believed Moana was taught by the so-called crippled master, and he was her junior.
Nonetheless, Josua was aware that Moana‘s ambition was not on inscriptions nor formations.
Hence, she would not request anything from Moana but only support and give him her best wishes.
For the sake of not affecting Moana’s decision, she did not even inform anyone of their senior-junior relationship as Josua was worried that she would bring him unnecessary trouble.
Soon, the surroundings fell into silence, and everyone waited for Moana to make the final decision.
After all, that was the first time in the past 20 years that someone was being fought after by various sects during the Sects‘ Recruitment Ceremony.
Moana looked around.
Josua appeared sorrowful, whereas Ian seemed to be confident.
Then, Moana took a deep breath in and turned to Josua.
“Josua, I’m sorry for making you worry for so long, and I want to thank you for your constant help.”
“Good luck…” Josua’s lips quivered.
Without even realizing it, she got misty-eyed.
“No matter what you choose, you’ll always be my junior.” Josua’ s voice was so soft that only she and Moana could hear it when she said that.
Later, Moana turned to Ian, and Ian’s eyes immediately lit up.
Ian could not help but blurt out, “Casper, I can guarantee that the decision you made today will be the most important one in your life.
This represents…”
“I’m sorry, Master Ian.” At that time, Moana suddenly interrupted Ian.
He also did not give Ian any chance to react, and he said loudly, “I hope you can understand my stand.
I won’t be choosing the Dark Moon Sect as I have decided on the Heavenly Stars Sect.
As long as they agree, I‘ll become the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciple from this moment onward.”
Moana finished the words in a go, and he did not give anyone a chance to refute.
After saying that, Moana felt relieved.
It was as if the heavy burden he carried for the past few days was lifted away, and he felt better.
Ian widened his eyes, stupefied by what he heard.
After some time, he finally regained his senses and shrieked, “Casper, what did you say?”
Moana shrugged and showed a helpless expression.
“Are you sure?” Ian shouted again.
Moana nodded.
Then, he turned around, facing the dumbfounded Josua.
Josua’s beautiful eyes stared at Richard.
It was apparent that she was yet to recover from Moana‘s words.
After some time, Josua shivered, and the light in her eyes returned.
Then, she asked with her voice somewhat shaking, “Casper, what did you say?”
Moana smiled.
“I said if you don’t mind, I’ll officially be your junior from now onward.”
Josua could not believe her ears.
However, her expression shocked Richard.
“Josua? Josua, what’ s going on? Weren’t you hoping that I’d enter the Heavenly Stars Sect? I’m now agreeing to your invitation.
Don’t you want me anymore?”
Seeing Moana‘s worried expression, Josua could not help but chuckle.
With tears at the corners of her eyes and her smile blooming like a flower, Josua‘s beauty was indescribable.
In an instant, it was as if the surrounding lights all focused on her.
“How dare you lie to me just now!” Finally, Josua could not hold back anymore.
As she was between tears and laughter, Josua directly grabbed Moana’s arm and pinched him.
Moana played along and pretended to be in pain, and he continuously begged for mercy.
Josua felt pity for him and quickly rubbed his hand, but at the same time, she rolled her eyes at him.
Although she seemed to blame Leonardo, even a fool could tell how happy Josua was from her eyes.
At this time, the elders around them gradually returned to their senses, and they understood Moana‘s choice.
Soon, everyone started to congratulate Moana and Josua.
“Congratulations to the Heavenly Stars Sect for having another talented disciple.”
“Congratulations to Casper for joining Heavenly Stars Sect.”
For the sects, if Moana chose them, it would be a great blessing.
However, even if they were not chosen, they did not lose anything.
After all, they did expect to recruit any disciple from the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony.
On the other hand, Ian’s emotions went through ups and downs like a roller-coaster, and his current emotions were utterly complicated.
As he stared at Leonardo, Ian’s eyes flickered with regret, sadness, confusion, awakeness, anger, and so on.
In the end, he let out a long sigh.
“Casper, no matter which sect you choose, I understand.
However, you must be aware that the Heavenly Stars Sect isn’t a battle expert.
In comparison, the Dark Moon Sect suits you better,” Ian explained.
Since Moana settled his problem, he felt incredibly relaxed.
Then, he smiled and cupped his hands at Ian.
“Thank you for looking out for me, Master Ian.
However, you don’t have to worry about it.
Since I‘m entering the Heavenly Stars Sect, then it won’t be a sect that isn’t good at fighting anymore.”
When he heard that, Ian‘s heart skipped a beat, then, he saw Moana’s confident gaze.
