Chapter 1400: Chapter 764: In Control Chapter 1400: Chapter 764: In Control Second Young Master Wright led the way ahead while occasionally glancing back at Logan following behind him. He couldn't help but feel surprised; Logan walked with a steady pace and an unfazed expression, as if the place he was about to visit was not the cultivation great family clan of the Wrights, but an ordinary alleyway.
“Young Master Logan, are you truly not the least bit nervous?” Second Young Master Wright couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, wondering why Logan could remain so composed.
Logan responded with a slight smile, “Second Young Master Wright, what use is there in being nervous? Since things have already come to this, it's better to face them calmly.”
Upon hearing this, Second Young Master Wright felt a slight shock. This person's temperament was truly extraordinary. To still remain calm when about to visit the Wright Family and as if everything was under his control. He couldn't help looking back again at Logan, trying to discern something from his eyes, yet Logan's gaze remained calm as still water, without the slightest ripple.
“Asking directly to see our family's supreme treasure, either he is excessively arrogant, regarding nothing and no one, unaware that there are always greater people; or, he is supported by an absolute foundation, with an absolute strength allowing it. Logan, which kind of person are you, exactly?” Second Young Master Wright pondered internally.
Second Young Master Wright's gaze flickered; he was well aware that the cultivation world was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers and that one couldn't simply judge a person's strength by their appearance. Logan could ask to see the Wright Family's supreme treasure so calmly either because he really had something to rely on, or because he was overly naive and ignorant. Yet, Second Young Master Wright leaned more toward the former since how could someone who cultivated to such a realm be truly naive and ignorant?
Thinking that Logan might indeed possess an absolute foundation and strength, Second Young Master Wright's demeanor became much more respectful. He understood that facing such a person, he must be more careful and prudent, without any carelessness.
The two of them continued their way, quickly arriving at the Wright's Mansion. As a major family clan within the cultivation world, their residence naturally exuded an imposing and majestic vibe. Guards clad in armor stood on both sides of the gates, who saluted and paid respect upon seeing Second Young Master Wright bringing Logan.
Second Young Master Wright nodded, leading Logan into the mansion. Along the way, he kept introducing Logan to the history and background of the Wright Family, as well as their status and influence in the cultivation world. Logan listened and nodded in understanding. His expression remained as tranquil as ever, as if he was already fully aware of all this.
They walked through several corridors to a spacious hall. Inside the hall were various precious ornaments and decorations, showcasing the wealth and status of the Wright Family. Second Young Master Wright asked Logan to take a seat, then ordered the servants to serve tea and refreshments for him.
“Young Master Logan, please wait a moment. I'll go and fetch our family's supreme treasure so you may witness its miraculous nature with your own eyes,” Second Young Master Wright said.
Logan nodded in understanding, his heart filled with anticipation, eager to see the Wright Family's supreme treasure and its wondrous qualities. Meanwhile, he was quietly observing every move of Second Young Master Wright, trying to glean some clues from his behavior and speech.
The doorman instantly recognized the identity of the person leading the way, his eyes flickered with respect, and he respectfully bowed, his voice carrying a mix of reverence and joy, “Second Young Master Wright, you're finally back; Lord Logan has been waiting for you for a long time. Early this morning, he instructed us to watch for your return, saying that today you would bring an honored guest and that we must be well-prepared for the reception.”
Second Young Master Wright smiled slightly and nodded, showing satisfaction with the doorman's words. He then turned to Logan, walking alongside him, and explained, “Young Master Logan, this is our gatekeeper, Old Li. He has been with our family for decades, always loyal and devoted, a true old servant of our family.”
Upon hearing this, Old Li quickly bowed again to Logan, saying respectfully, “Honored guest, good day. Welcome to the Wright Family. I am Old Li, the gatekeeper of the Wrights. If there's anything you need, just command, and I will do my utmost to serve you.”
Logan smiled and nodded, expressing his appreciation for Old Li's politeness.
At that moment, another gate attendant approached, curiously looking at Second Young Master Wright and Logan, and couldn't help but ask, “Second Young Master, why didn't you take a sedan chair back? Why walk all the way here? The weather isn't cool, and it must have been tiring to walk.”
Second Young Master Wright laughed and patted the attendant's shoulder, saying, “It's alright; it's just a short distance, and walking is good exercise. Besides, the carriage you prepared was too small; two people can't fit in. It's not just me returning, but I've also brought an important guest. We can't have the honored guest squeeze in with me, can we? That would be preposterous. It's better for us to walk back together and enjoy the scenery along the way, is it not?”
As he spoke, he stepped aside to reveal Logan's figure, specifically instructing the gate attendant, “Remember, this is a distinguished guest I've invited to our home, Young Master Logan. Don't be negligent in treating him; regard him as an esteemed guest of the Wright Family. Now hurry up and invite the guest inside, and let Lord Logan and the lady of the house meet him as well.”
Upon hearing this, the gate attendant immediately understood Second Young Master Wright's intentions and quickly nodded in acknowledgment. He turned and ran towards the mansion, shouting loudly while running, “Lord Logan, the lady of the house, Second Young Master has returned! He has brought a distinguished guest! Hurry out to greet them!”
His voice echoed within the Wright's Mansion, causing the servants to run out to see what was happening. Second Young Master Wright and Logan walked leisurely, enjoying the rare tranquility and leisure.
