Chapter 1355: Chapter 741: Dragon Lair_2 Chapter 1355: Chapter 741: Dragon Lair_2 “Turns out it's Young Master Logan, observing your hand and footwork skills seem excellent; you just unlocked the trap we set in an instant–truly astonishing!” Richard Mitchell's words were filled with admiration. He wasn't the kind who flattered others recklessly; his words were entirely sincere in recognizing Logan's prowess.
Upon hearing this, Logan smiled slightly and humbly said, “Young Master Mitchell flatters me. I just happened to know a bit of Mechanism Technique, which enabled my fortunate resolution of the trap. If replaced by another adept in this field, they could probably handle it with ease.”
However, the others, upon hearing this, looked somewhat different for a moment. The women, including Abigail Mitchell and Lucy Parker, who had previously scorned Logan, now remained quiet, merely watching Logan with a hint of apprehension in their eyes. They had initially thought Logan was just an ordinary Loose Cultivator without any remarkable skills, but now it seemed they were wrong.
At this moment, George also stepped forward, scrutinizing Logan with curiosity and asked, “Brother Logan, are you really a Loose Cultivator? How come you are so proficient in Mechanism Technique? You should know, the trap was a collective effort among us, incorporating some elements of an array, and not so easily resolvable.”
Logan smiled and explained, “Brother George might not know, I've been deeply interested in Mechanism Arrays since a young age, so I've put quite some effort into this field. Although I'm a Loose Cultivator, it doesn't mean I lack skills in other areas.”
William Parker also came close, patted Logan on the shoulder, and chuckled, “Brother Logan, you are too modest. Unlocking the trap we set isn't something just anyone can do. I see you have extraordinary skills; surely, you'll achieve great things in the Cultivation World.”
Hearing this, Logan just smiled faintly and didn't overly showcase his abilities. He could see these people had some prejudices against him earlier, but now they had started to change their views.
At this point, Amelia Mitchell also came over, curiously looking at Logan, and asked, “Brother Logan, since you are so skilled, could you perhaps teach us some knowledge of Mechanism Arrays? We are also very interested in it.”
Logan looked at Amelia Mitchell and then at the others, seeing the curiosity and anticipation in their eyes, he nodded and said, “Certainly, I can teach you some basic knowledge. However, the art of Mechanism Arrays is profound and not something that can be learned in a short while. If you are truly interested, I will make time to teach you.”
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, all expressing their eagerness to learn. Richard Mitchell especially, looking at Logan with gratitude, said, “Brother Logan, you are truly generous. We will certainly cherish this opportunity and study the art of Mechanism Arrays diligently.”
In this manner, Logan, Richard Mitchell, and the others found more and more topics in common as they chatted. They discussed the mysteries of Mechanism Arrays, insights into cultivation, and shared their individual experiences and knowledge. Logan realized these individuals, though from Aristocratic Families, did not carry an air of superiority; instead, each was humble and eager to learn. This greatly pleased him and solidified his decision to befriend them. Logan knew that Richard Mitchell's praise intended not only to genuinely flatter and foster a closer relationship but also perhaps to subtly rebuke those women who judged by appearances.
Richard Mitchell glanced at the women, a scarcely noticeable sternness flashing in his eyes, and slowly said, “You see, your approach is too superficial, always judging people by their appearances. It must be understood that appearances can be deceiving and depths unfathomable. Brother Logan might dress simply, but his skills are exceptional, and his mastery of the Mechanism Array is profound. If you only value appearance, you'll truly suffer a great loss.”
The women, hearing this, looked at each other, appearing to realize their previous folly and shallowness. Abigail Mitchell lowered her head and muttered softly, “Brother is right, we shouldn't judge people by their appearances. Brother Logan, we are sorry, we were too rude before.”
Lucy Parker quickly chimed in: “That's right, Brother Logan, don't take it to heart. We will definitely correct ourselves in the future and won't judge people by their appearance again.”
Logan observed the silent exchanges among these people and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. He slightly curved the corners of his lips and casually responded to Richard Mitchell's comment: “Brother Mitchell is too generous. I'm not really that remarkable; I just happen to know a bit about the Mechanism Array Technique.”
Upon hearing this, Richard Mitchell shook his head and earnestly said: “Brother Logan, don't be modest. We have all seen your capabilities. Moreover, I believe that a person's prowess is not solely determined by their Cultivation Level, but more importantly by their character and wisdom. In this regard, you are far superior to us.”
After listening to Richard Mitchell, Logan was somewhat moved. He could see that Richard Mitchell was truly a discerning and broad-minded person who would not look down on him because of his background or appearance, but could instead recognize his strengths and merits. Such a friend was worth making deep connections with.
Thus, Logan smiled and said: “Brother Mitchell, you are right. A person's prowess indeed isn't solely determined by their Cultivation Level. I believe it's more important to consider their disposition and character. In this regard, I also feel that I have much to learn and improve. In the future, I hope Brother Mitchell and everyone else can continue to guide me.”
Upon hearing this, Richard Mitchell laughed heartily, clapping Logan on the shoulder and saying: “Brother Logan, you are too courteous. We should learn from each other and advance together. I believe that with your talent and wisdom, you will surely make a mark in the Cultivation World.”
As such, Logan and Richard Mitchell, along with the rest of their group, continued their chat more enthusiastically, and the atmosphere became increasingly congenial. They discussed insights on cultivation, secrets of the Mechanism Array, and shared their respective experiences and knowledge. Logan realized that he genuinely enjoyed spending time with these people; they were sincere, friendly, and perceptive, making him feel very comfortable and delighted.
Moreover, Richard Mitchell did not pry further. He well understood that everyone had their own secrets and trump cards, which they wouldn't reveal lightly. Were it him, he too wouldn't casually divulge his own methods of breakthrough, as it related to personal safety and strategic advantages.
He looked at Logan, a flicker of admiration in his eyes, before saying: “Young Master Logan, to meet is to be fated. Here in the vast Snow Mountain, for us to come across each other by chance, there must be some destiny guiding us. Why don't you join us, and we can discuss further? I'm very interested in your Mechanism Array Technique and would like to hear about your experiences and insights on your cultivation journey.”
Richard Mitchell's demeanor was sincere and enthusiastic, even showing an intent to form a closer alliance. He recognized that Logan was not an ordinary person and was bound for great achievements. Forming a good relationship now might lead to unexpected benefits in the future.
Logan lowered his eyes slightly, pondering for a while. He understood Richard Mitchell's intentions and knew his own circumstances. In Snow Mountain, having one more friend meant having additional strength, and since Richard Mitchell and the others seemed far from villainous, it was harmless to associate with them.
In the end, Logan did not refuse and joined them. As he sat down, the women shifted slightly to the side, their faces displaying a hint of disdain. Among them, Abigail Mitchell muttered under her breath: “Humph, just a Loose Cultivator, what's so great about that.”
Logan heard their murmurs but paid them no mind. He was well aware of his current status and position and did not expect these people to accept him immediately. Moreover, he didn't take their disdain to heart because he knew that true strength and capability were not proven by appearances or status.
