The Most Arbitrary Wizard

Chapter 101: Chapter 70: Master and Disciple, and Master and Disciple

Koni: "..."

She suddenly missed Sean, even though he had only been gone for a moment.

Only when Lord Blake was around did her teacher become so gentle.

Sopea led Koni out of the church.

In the early morning, Alola Town was exceptionally quiet, completely lacking the hustle and bustle expected of a modern city.

Most people here didn’t have much of a nightlife.

Not because of a curfew, but because they were Wizards.

The dead of night was the most suitable time for Meditation.

The master and apprentice walked along the empty street. The streetlights on both sides shone silently, stretching their shadows ever longer behind them.

"Have you remembered what I told you before?" Sopea asked.

"Before?" Koni tilted her head. "Which before?"

"In the dream, when we were reading in the library," Sopea said.

Koni immediately nodded. "I remember. Stay away from Lord Blake."

Indeed, while Sean had been busy with his own things, Sopea had taken the opportunity to tell Koni to keep her distance from Sean as much as possible. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

This "distance" wasn’t physical, but emotional.

Simply put, she was not to fall in love with Sean.

Sopea knew all too well just how terrifying Blake’s Charm had been in the past.

Powerful, handsome, and romantic. Sometimes gentle, sometimes strict. He lacked for no wealth, and his status was beyond reproach.

You could tell from how Blake had managed to turn a vassal town near the Holy City of the Church Court into an autonomous city that even the Pope had to show him deference.

You could say Blake embodied every trait that could possibly attract the opposite sex. He was terrifyingly perfect. It was no exaggeration to say that shortly after the Hall of Truth was founded, before it was officially managed, 80% of the students were female, and 80% of *them* were there for Blake.

There were probably some among the male students, too. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Sopea wasn’t badmouthing Sean behind his back. He himself was one of Blake’s admirers. He felt he and Blake were similar in some ways—they both loved to read and conduct academic research. Blake simply did it better, which made him Sopea’s role model.

But a role model was just a role model. Sopea knew very well that people like him and Blake might be incredible when it came to Cultivation, blessed with unique Talent, but in their personal lives, they would never be good boyfriends or husbands.

That was why Sopea was still single to this day.

A man nearly sixty years old, without even a companion.

At the same time, this was also the reason he had chosen to adopt Koni back then.

He would never have a wife in this lifetime, but he could have a daughter to carry on his dream-path legacy.

Sopea was very self-aware about this matter. He never got involved with people he shouldn’t.

But Lord Blake wasn’t so self-aware.

A man like that could never be tied down by a single woman. Add to that Blake’s free and untamable nature—a man who lived by his passions—and it meant any woman who loved him was destined for lonely nights. Times together were of course happy and sweet, but after they parted... especially knowing Blake might be off seeing other women, the suffering was truly unbearable.

Sopea said, "This is from your teacher’s own painful experience. Don’t make the same mistake."

Koni: "?"

She stopped in her tracks, eyes wide. She felt that single sentence was packed with so much information that she started to stutter. "Teacher, don’t tell me you also..."

Sopea’s face darkened. "Also my ass! I was talking about my female classmates from when I was young."

He was the one who had been scorned, which gave rise to the Dream Builder who later devoted himself single-mindedly to Cultivation.

"Oh, oh, you scared me." Koni patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, then blinked a couple of times as she looked at Sopea.

’Looks like my teacher has quite a history.’

In fact, Sopea had many stories. No one becomes extreme for no reason. It was only because he saw Koni as a daughter that the young girl was qualified to hear these things.

"Anyway, just watch yourself," Sopea warned.

Now that Lord Blake had been "reforged" with the identity of Sean, Sopea would certainly continue to serve him. The current Sean was only Tier Two and needed his "protection." And since Koni was his apprentice, she would inevitably come into contact with Sean. He had to warn her, otherwise it would be too late by the time Koni inexplicably fell for Sean one day.

Sopea didn’t want to see his daughter get played like he once was.

However, after sizing Koni up for a few moments, Sopea felt he might be overthinking things and added a comment:

"Just remember what I said, but don’t think too much about it. Lord Blake might not even be interested in you."

Koni: "?"

’Hey! Even if he’s not interested, you don’t have to say it out loud!’

’Why does my teacher talk just like a real father, even though I’m adopted?’

Sopea ignored Koni’s resentful glare and continued walking forward.

’He wasn’t wrong, after all.’

’His daughter was obedient, yes, but her Cultivation Talent was a bit lacking. Blake wasn’t someone who only cared about looks. Otherwise, during the Era of Polymath, with so many beautiful women in the world, the Hall of Truth wouldn’t have been called the Hall of Truth. It would’ve been called the Hall of Fish Ponds.’

「Meanwhile.」

Elsewhere, Sean, who was eating pizza with Kate, sneezed.

’Someone must be thinking about me!’

Sean pulled out his phone and glanced at it. There were no messages from Elvire. A wave of disappointment washed over him, and he huffed to himself. ’Fine, don’t text me. I won’t text you either. Let’s see who can hold out longer. Hmph.’

Kate didn’t notice Sean’s actions. He was holding a knife and fork, cutting his pizza into small pieces as if it were a steak, elegantly enjoying his late dinner.
