Chapter 1101: Chapter 614: 502 Chapter 1101: Chapter 614: 502 He was indeed shocked, so he repeated the question to Simmon Leaf.
Simmon Leaf's answer remained unchanged.
“Of course, Hilly Chen, when the time comes, I'll be troubling you, and we might even need to leverage your face. With you and me on the move together, I can assure his entry into the number one Great Sect will not be a problem.”
It was only with absolute confidence that Simmon Leaf could make such a promise.
Hilly Chen gazed at him deeply for a moment, yet in the end, he did not refute him; instead, it was as if he had tacitly agreed with his words.
“All right, if this is your thought, I will certainly help you.”
“Hilly Chen, I ask you to believe in me and respect my idea. Introducing this youngster will benefit both of us.”
Hilly Chen certainly believed in him.
Between the two of them, Simmon Leaf had always been the one playing the role of the strategist.
No matter what happened, it was always he who was quick-witted, the first to notice.
Moreover, he had led Hilly Chen away from numerous threats, which Hilly Chen always remembered in his heart.
Now, having heard him speak thus, even though there was a momentary surprise, Hilly Chen quickly understood and was willing to follow and abide by his suggestion.
Logan's gaze shifted between these two men, noticing how good their relationship truly was.
However, going to the number one Great Sect was also a good thing for him.
No matter what plans the other party had, he would not be at a disadvantage and would still gain benefits. With that being the case, there was no need to refuse.
After pondering for a moment, he immediately bowed with his hands clasped together.
“In that case, I extend my thanks to you both in advance.”
Seeing that Logan knew how to act appropriately, the two exchanged a look of satisfaction.
“That's settled, then. Our encounter today was a case of 'no fight, no acquaintance.' I hope nothing from today will leave Shadows in your heart nor become your inner demon.”
Simmon Leaf truly considered the other party's well-being when he spoke these words.
Upon hearing this, Logan's lips twitched, finding the concern to be quite unnecessary.
Inner demons?
Even when he had faced a Powerhouse from the Upper World of the Demon Race, and his life hung by a thread, he had not developed any inner demons.
Now, having merely crossed a few moves with this Powerhouse, how could he possibly be so fearful?
His lips twitched again, finding the concerns raised quite speechless.
However, he still had to show some cooperation on the surface.
“Understood, I assure you I'll take the time to calm my mind when I get back.”
Seeing a different expression on Logan's face at last, Simmon Leaf exhaled a little relieved.
Indeed, no matter how exceptional one's Talent may be, he was still only in the Saint Realm.
If there truly were no fears or doubts, then that would be a reason for others to be afraid.
Now, seeing this person showing a bit of a genuine reaction actually eased Simmon Leaf's concern.
He stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and also offered a calming Magical Treasure.
Logan:…
Regardless of its use, he would accept any top-notch Magical Treasure.
Why refuse something given freely?
Logan hesitated only for a second before decisively accepting it the next moment.
“Thank you, senior.”
Looking at his own empty hands and then at the other's swift actions, Simmon Leaf felt a moment of speechlessness.
He realized he was increasingly unable to comprehend Logan, unable to understand the talents of today.
But, what did it matter whether he understood or not? Pulling a Favor was enough.
Simmon Leaf quickly composed himself and acted as though nothing had happened.
“Well then, the message has been delivered, the gift has been given, and we won't linger any longer. Little Friend Roshe, perhaps one day we'll meet in the Upper World.”
As his words fell, he and Hilly Chen had already risen into the sky.
After exchanging one last look, they departed gracefully into the air.
Only when they were gone did Logan finally allow his tense nerves to relax.
He lowered his gaze, and for a moment, he seemed somewhat vulnerable.
Little White and Little Flower instantly gathered around him, each taking a place by his side.
“Owner, how are you? Are you okay?”
“Owner, are you injured? Your complexion doesn't look good.”
Logan just shook his head and patted his two spirit pets.
“I'm fine, quite good in fact. I don't know if those two people have really left or if they're just testing us, Little Flower, Little White, we must keep a low profile from now on,” he said.
It had taken a simple revelation of Master's inheritance to attract the relentless pursuit of two powerhouses.
What if next time it attracted something even more formidable that he couldn't handle?
After much thought, he decided that he needed to remain discreet in the future and avoid giving anyone leverage against him.
Little Flower and Little White looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
“Yes, Master, we remember, we know what to do.”
Looking at his two devoted spirit pets, he felt much more at ease.
“Thank goodness you are with me, it prevents me from feeling too gloomy. Anyway, since we've sent those two lords on their way, let's leave quickly, there's no need to stay here any longer.”
Logan didn't fancy staying any longer in this desolate mountain range.
Little Flower and Little White felt the same, and everyone quickly agreed to leave together.
Logan was feeling a bit under the weather, and his demeanor showed a tint of fatigue.
Moreover, he had sustained not insignificant injuries from his fight with Simmon Leaf.
He now had to tend to his wounds immediately, which was of utmost importance.
So, after taking some spiritual medicine, he began to seclude himself in a mountain retreat.
He intended to use this time to heal and to contemplate the insights gained from the recent battle, as it seemed he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
Logan planned to see if he could use this opportunity to make a surge forward; perhaps he was already touching the bottleneck.
This time in seclusion, he hoped to attain a different kind of reward.
He took only Little Flower and Little White with him, leaving everything else behind without a word.
Once in the deep mountains, he found an adequate cave.
He set up a protective array and then immersed himself in cultivation.
This period of seclusion lasted a full three months.
And when he emerged, there was a noticeable change.
He had successfully advanced to the Saint Mid-Stage. When Logan stepped out of the cave again, he clenched his hand, feeling the spiritual energy tightly grasped within and could not help feeling rather proud.
“Mid-Stage, I've finally reached the mid-stage, excellent!”
His three months of seclusion had not been in vain; he had broken through that bottleneck at last.
Little Flower and Little White both offered their congratulations.
“Congratulations, Owner, felicitations, Owner!”
“Congratulations on achieving your wish, from now on you are at the Saint Mid-Stage. Owner, the speed of your advancement is the fastest I have ever seen, your future is bound to be limitless!”
Listening to the adulation from his spirit pets, Logan naturally felt delightful.
But as happy as he was, he didn't let it go to his head.
After the joy passed, he regained his composure; there was no need to show off his edge.
“All right, this is indeed a matter for joy, but let's just smile and keep it at that. Better not to make too much noise, let's go back now,” he said.
Little White and Little Flower, too, had grown much steadier in demeanor, mirroring his temperament.
Just as they were about to leave the forest, they suddenly sensed something amiss with the spirit beasts in the mountains.
Because they were flying through the air, they could observe the behavior of these spirit beasts.
The spirit beasts were running around as if mad, stampeding everywhere.
They appeared to be fleeing, running forward without any sense of measure, and some of them were even roaring.
It was as if some dark, terrifying thing was behind them, causing these creatures to instinctively run to save their lives and stay away.
Logan halted his steps, puzzled by the animals' behavior.
“How strange, this doesn't seem like a beast tide, but why would the spirit beasts here suddenly become so agitated? Little Flower, your roots extend deep into the earth; feel the vibrations below and find out the direction. I want to see what's going on that has caused such a commotion, something that's frightening them into such a state.”
Such a situation usually spelled disaster or fortune.
It could either be the emergence of a Spiritual Treasure or a high-level Demon Beast.
Whatever it was, Logan wanted to join in the excitement and find out for himself.
