In the Mystic Demon Library, Ravina Ingale was still hesitant.
"Ezra, I'm warning you that my money is not so easily earned. If my people do not reach the first level after ten days…" Ravina Ingale shot a look at Ezra Zephyr. "I will not let you off."
At that time, the expressions of Ezra Zephyr changed. "Listen lady, this is your 3rd time threatening me. Let me be clear..." a dominating aura came out of Ezra as he continued. "I don't give a shit about your connections, I am capable of killing the likes of you and that Drake Tubble, be a little respectful."
Ravina's eyes widened, and she saw death in Ezra's scarlet eyes, she was still stunned when Ezra spoke again.
"Relax, this is already a bargain and I will not cheat anyone." He hurriedly pledged. This was his first customer, and he had to make sure she was satisfied at all costs. However, he has his pride as well.
Ravina came back to her senses, she replied "When should I send her to begin training?"
"Our time is precious, so we'll of course be starting now. Send her." Ezra Zephyr waved his hand, tossing the bag of Spirit jade in the bracelet as he walked down the mountain.
Ravina Ingale looked at his leaving figure, before looking towards the lecture halls in the rear mountain as she hesitated for a moment. Before jumping towards the halls.
<Rear Mountain, Lecture Hall>
Roshi watched the numerous unofficial outer mountain disciples arrive one after another and suddenly frowned. He had not seen a lady disciple amongst them.
At this moment, Moshi suddenly rushed over, his expression extremely ugly.
Roshi frowned and asked, "What is it?"
The other disciples also looked over.
Moshi hesitated for a second, somewhat unable to believe his own words as he explained, "Mahi Ingale sent someone to say that she will not be coming."
"Not coming?" Roshi was taken aback, somewhat unhappy as he said, "Wasn't she doing well so far? Does she no longer plan on learning the Gossamer Steps technique?"
Mahi Ingale was the cousin of Ravina Ingale and was from a powerful background, while also being very pretty. Hence, Roshi had some designs on her and was currently attempting to fulfil the dream of 'marrying into power and wealth', hoping to make use of this opportunity while teaching her to get into her good books.
Mahi's sudden absence had disrupted his tempo. Moshi summoned his courage and said, "She… she's still learning, but… she has gone to learn from Ezra Zephyr and Ravina Ingale was with her."
The lecture hall immediately fell silent, numerous disciples looking at each other first before quickly breaking out into a din.
"Ezra Zephyr of Naran Continent?"
"Mahi is learning the Gossamer Steps technique from Ezra Zephyr?!"
"What the heck is she doing?"
Roshi was also stupefied. Soon after, his complexion turned steely green with rage. He was truly unable to comprehend what Mahi Ingale was thinking. Did she sustain some brain damage? It was preposterous for her to learn spiritual techniques from another unofficial outer mountain disciple What kind of drug had Ezra given her?!
Most importantly, if news of this spread, where would Roshi be able to hide his face?!
He gnashed his teeth, no longer able to restrain his emotions. He violently kicked a nearby table to dust, his expression twisting as he roared, "Ezra Zephyr, you're practically asking for death!"
Roshi raged in the hall, his twisted expression causing the unofficial outer mountain disciples to keep silent out of fear. He was undoubtedly akin to a volcano on the verge of eruption at this moment.
Although Roshi was seeing red, he still retained some of his rationality, and soon took in a deep breath. He knew that if an official outer mountain disciple like himself were to lash out at Ezra Zephyr in a fit of rage for no real reason, it would be a violation of the rules.
Of course, the most important factor was the extremely powerful mysterious creature at Ezra Zephyr's side which was way stronger than himself. Even if he did try something, it would likely not end well for him.
Roshi's anger gradually returned to calmness, though his face remained stormy. He looked at the crowd of disciples and flatly said, "Continue your training. This is Mahi's personal decision, so no one can interfere.
I do hope that this 'great master' she has found will be able to help her advance by leaps and bounds."
At this point, everyone could hear the hint of ridicule in his voice. Evidently, he felt that Mahi Ingale was asking for trouble. It was hard to believe that she had become so muddle-headed because of Ezra Zephyr.
The other disciples nodded one after another, though a puzzled look remained in their eyes.
"Why has Mahi chosen to learn from Ezra Zephyr?"
"Could she… be interested in him?"
"No no, Moshi said Ravina was with her as well."
"Ravina!... that prodigy!"
However, these words were immediately rebutted in a clearly sore manner, "How can that be possible? Who do you think Mahi is? How can she possibly fancy that country bumpkin."
"Then why did she do that?"
"This…"
Everyone looked at each other, unable to think of an answer.
Moshi tried to pacify Roshi, "Don't worry elder brother, when Mahi returns to her senses, she will realise Ezra's true colors. When that happens, she will definitely return."
Roshi coldly snorted as he uncaringly said, "It is her choice, so she'll bear the consequences. If she continued under my tutelage, with her talent, she would have mastered the first level of the Gossamer Steps technique in a month…" He shook his head, as if feeling that it was such a pity.
"But who could have imagined that she would choose to ruin her own future? I do want to see how much she will be able to learn from Ezra.
Mhm... if word of this matter spreads to the ears of that elder of Ingale clan, that person will not forgive Ezra Zephyr."
A mocking angle seemed to be hooked up from the corners of Roshi's lips, as if he could already see Ezra's tragic fate.
