Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1586: "Who Acknowledges Whom as Father

"If Du Gu finds out that the Elder of Secrets took the initiative to visit the House Master, he might be so angry that he’d blow his top!"

Withered’s face displayed a radiant smile that was more difficult to look at than crying, as if witnessing the moment when Du Gu, the leader of the Shadow Mountain black market, lost his temper.

Lanni Barnes smiled faintly, choosing not to respond.

In truth, this matter also puzzled him greatly.

The first time he encountered the Elder of Secrets by chance, he felt exceptionally lucky, especially when the elder was willing to divine for his son, which filled him with immense joy.

The second time, the Elder of Secrets took the initiative to visit again, and it was also regarding his son, which left him feeling overwhelmed with favor.

Yet, amidst the astonishment, his heart was filled with doubt. What kind of charm did his son possess to draw the concern of such a powerful figure as the Elder of Secrets?

He considered many possibilities as a result.

However, those possibilities all seemed somewhat unrealistic.

Nevertheless, ever since Asa Honorston came looking for him and informed him of the Dragonsmith Clan’s extensive search for his son, Wyatt Barnes, he held the Elder of Secrets in even higher reverence, akin to a deity.

Just because, during the Elder of Secrets’ second visit, he mentioned the Dragonsmith Clan.

Though he didn’t specify the matter, he did suggest that, if possible, he should strive to secure a chance for his son, Wyatt Barnes, to enter the Dragon Washing Pool.

Additionally, he spoke of the importance of the Dragon Washing Pool to the Dragonsmith Clan, mentioning that at a critical moment, a compromise could be made by establishing a ’Five-Year Agreement.’

The Five-Year Agreement was the prior arrangement he had with Emperor Mountain.

And this agreement was also the decision of the Elder of Secrets; he was merely following through.

Though he never imagined his son could defeat Emperor End in five years, he had great faith in the Elder of Secrets. The elder’s miraculous calculations completely won him over, making him believe in the elder’s words without a doubt.

Because of this, the subsequent events unfolded.

Soon after, Withered learned all of this from Lanni Barnes, and he was full of admiration, "In the past, I only heard of the Elder of Secrets’ miraculous calculations, but this time, I truly gained insight! Perhaps, when he came to you, House Master, he had already calculated the connection between the Junior House Master and the Dragonsmith Clan."

"House Master, are we heading back to the Mansion of Azure Clouds?"

Withered looked at Lanni Barnes and asked.

In his view, what the House Master should be doing now is returning to the Mansion of Azure Clouds and then issuing orders to search for the Junior House Master everywhere.

"There’s no rush to return to the Mansion of Azure Clouds."

However, confronting Withered’s inquiry, Lanni Barnes shook his head, "We’re going to the Bibo Han Mansion!"

Bibo Han Mansion!

Hearing Lanni Barnes’ words, Withered expressed confusion, "Going to Bibo Han Mansion?"

"Yes, to Bibo Han Mansion. If I’m not mistaken, that other daughter-in-law of mine should be there... we’re going to bring her home,"

Lanni Barnes said with a smile.

Although the jade slip Wyatt Barnes left in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom of the Cloud Skies Continent did not mention ’Bibo Han Mansion,’ combining the message Wyatt left on the Condensing Sound Jade Piece, he realized that his daughter-in-law named Jovie Lee should now be at the home of a young mistress named Julia from the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

Furthermore, he also heard Withered mention that people from the Bibo Han Mansion had been leaving the southern area of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, searching a large sea area extensively.

Combining his son’s message, he speculated that the major movements of the people from Bibo Han Mansion were likely in search of his son, Wyatt Barnes.

Because his son mentioned leaving Crescent Island with a girl named Julia and losing each other due to certain situations.

In addition, according to Withered’s description, when the people from Bibo Han Mansion came looking for someone, they were led by a Beast Tamer and a young girl.

That young girl was likely the girl named Julia mentioned by his son.

Considering everything, he realized that his daughter-in-law Jovie, after Crescent Island was destroyed, most likely went to the Bibo Han Mansion.

Thus, he was now going to the Bibo Han Mansion to bring his daughter-in-law home.

"Natalie has mentioned this daughter-in-law many times in the past, always singing her praises... Now, I finally have the chance to meet her in person this time,"

anticipating the encounter with the unmet daughter-in-law, Lanni Barnes’s heart was filled with expectation.

The fact that Lanni Barnes was heading to ’Bibo Han Mansion’ with Withered was obviously unknown to Wyatt Barnes, as he was currently sitting quietly cultivating in his room.

In a foreign environment and with plans to accompany the Grand Elder of the Floating Flame Sect to roam the sect’s settlement early the next morning, he chose not to enter the Jewel Tower for cultivation.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

By dusk, the clouds were ablaze with red, and looking to the horizon, the sky appeared as though stained with blood, glaring and striking.

"Young Master of the Swayer Family, an old friend is here. Aren’t you coming out for a look?"

A raspy voice akin to a duck’s quack suddenly came from outside the room, infused with True Energy, clearly reaching Wyatt Barnes’ ears, interrupting his cultivation.

For a moment, Wyatt Barnes frowned.

Just from the voice, he could tell the visitor came with ill intentions.

"Who is it?"

Realizing the person was directed at Beau Swayer, Wyatt Barnes stepped out of the room, just in time to see Beau Swayer stepping out with a somber expression.

From another room, Jordan Swayer also emerged.

"Mr. Barnes."

Beau Swayer originally had a gloomy face, but upon seeing Wyatt Barnes, he forced a smile and took the initiative to greet him.

"The people outside seem to be here for you."

Wyatt Barnes said.

"Yes, it’s a Junior Sect Master of a seventh-rate sect opposing our Swayer Family, and I have a long-standing grudge with him... I apologize, Mr. Barnes, for disturbing you. I’ll resolve this matter immediately, ensuring that he won’t disturb your peace again, Mr. Barnes."

As he spoke, a glint of coldness flashed deep in Beau Swayer’s eyes.

If it were just him, he wouldn’t be so angry.

Because there’s always been a grudge between them, it’s not unusual for the other party to act like this.

However, due to Wyatt Barnes’s presence, He felt extremely guilty, thinking the other’s appearance disrupted Wyatt Barnes’s peace.

In his eyes, Wyatt Barnes was like an elder figure whom Beau Swayer respected deeply.

Disturbing Wyatt Barnes’s peace was akin to slapping Beau’s face.

"I’ll go out with you to take a look."

Wyatt Barnes added.

"Okay."

Beau Swayer did not decline, and after responding, he flew out of the mansion with Wyatt Barnes and Jordan Swayer.

Currently, in the sky outside the mansion, there were two people floating, one young man who appeared similar in age to Beau Swayer, and an elderly man with white hair and white eyebrows, the latter bearing an inspired demeanor that seemed celestial and graceful.

However, unlike the old man, the young man donned in brocade attire, but his eyebrows carried a hint of roguishness.

With just a glance, Wyatt Barnes discerned from the other’s lofty posture that he was a complete wastrel.

He had always had little fondness for such wastrels.

"Trace Wind, the conflict between us isn’t a matter of days... If you usually shout like this, I might let it go. However, today, you’ve disturbed Mr. Barnes!"

Beau Swayer looked at the brocaded youth, a fierce gleam flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "You, apologize to Mr. Barnes immediately!"

"Mr. Barnes?"

Faced with Beau Swayer’s seriousness, Trace Wind laughed mockingly, his gaze flickering over Beau Swayer before settling on Wyatt Barnes, "The Mr. Barnes you’re talking about, is it him? Beau Swayer, are you joking? This guy looks like just a young kid who surely isn’t older than you, yet you respect him as you would a father. Are you trying to make him your father?"

"Never thought the dignified young master of the Swayer Family had such a hobby... Hahaha..."

As Trace Wind said this, he laughed unscrupulously.

It had to be said, his words were extremely venomous and utterly merciless.

"Trace Wind, you’re courting death!"

Even though Beau Swayer had a good temper, hearing Trace Wind’s words made him unable to tolerate it, almost growling with anger, True Energy surged from him just as he was about to attack Trace Wind.

Seeing Beau Swayer’s rage, a hint of a successful plot flashed in Trace Wind’s eyes.

Though the glimmer was fleeting, Wyatt Barnes caught it clearly, and seeing this, he stepped forward immediately, blocking Beau from taking action.

Seeing Wyatt Barnes stopping Beau Swayer, Trace Wind’s brow furrowed, then relaxed as he continued to mock, "Tsk tsk... Beau Swayer, are you planning to hide behind your dad for your whole life?"

Due to Wyatt Barnes stopping him, Beau had calmed down a little, but hearing Trace Wind’s words, he couldn’t help but get furious.

"Left is ’dad’, right is ’dad’... It seems you really lack a father."

Wyatt Barnes glanced at Trace Wind nonchalantly, saying.

"What are you..."

Trace Wind’s face darkened, just about to say ’what kind of thing are you,’ but as the ’thing’ was about to leave his mouth, Beau Swayer quickly, as though instructed, said sharply like rapid-fire fireworks detonating, "Son, say ’thing’ for me."

"Thing!"

And the ’thing’ on Trace Wind’s lips promptly came out.

"Son is really obedient."

Beau Swayer laughed, his smile radiant.

Seeing Trace Wind’s flushed face, eyes bloodshot, Beau Swayer continued, "Trace Wind... no, son, listen to your dad and hurry to apologize to Mr. Barnes."

At this moment, Beau Swayer was bursting with glee inside.

He wondered why he hadn’t realized before that Mr. Barnes had this side to him?

Earlier, it was due to Wyatt Barnes’s reminder that he hurriedly led Trace Wind into a trap with his words like setting off rapid-fire fireworks.

And Trace Wind smoothly fell into the trap.

"Beau Swayer, you’re courting death!"

When had Trace Wind ever been humiliated like this? Instantly enraged, his aura surged, and in the blink of an eye, the area within a hundred meters was filled with intense rifts, as if the void was being torn apart.
