Davis had to change the topic a lot of times because he had plenty of things he wanted to know about, besides, he felt that he should stray away from the previous topic since it felt like gunpowder.
"Oh them, they’ve gone to participate in the Youngling Expert Competition," Claire replied.
"Youngling what?" Davis felt confused but then he remembered, "Wait! I’ve heard about this somewhere before..."
"Yes, you would’ve. It’s held once every ten years, and anyone whose age ranges from 9 to 12 can participate in that competition," Logan replied in a casual tone.
"Right!" Davis remembered as he was too busy to care about that lousy competition but at that time he was only 7 or 8 years old, so of course, he couldn’t participate in that competition.
"So to which place did they go?" He asked.
Logan shrugged, "Here, the capital..."
"Here? Where?" Davis remembered that he had already mapped out the north and some parts of the east and west of the capital.
He didn’t find any of them though.
If so, "They’re south?"
Claire nodded, "Almost near the southern gates..."
"I see..." Davis held his chin and thought of seeing them, especially that little brother of his whom he had never interacted with before.
"When does the competition end?" Davis asked for more information.
"Both the semifinals and the finals are held a day later, but if you’re trying to go meet them, then forget it. Likely, they have already heard rumors of you returning back, so they are probably on their way back as we speak." Logan said as he shook his head.
Davis blinked but he then realized.
This father of his had shouted about his return to the surroundings of the Royal Castle, so it wasn’t surprising that rumors about his return had already started to spread.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
But even so, at their cultivation, it might take them half a day to return from the southern gates.
The distance between the Royal Castle and the southern gates were as such, but if it was the distance between the Royal Castle and the northern gates, then it might take only less than an hour for them to return.
Yes, the Royal Castle was near to the northern gates but far from the southern gates.
Well, he knew these formations existed and also thought of powering them up through the spirit stones he brought.
Most of them were all Low-Level and Mid-Level Sky Grade Formations, constructed by the ancient people but not used since spirit stones dried out, so he figured that he didn’t need to buy the Sky Grade Formations at Xuan City.
Instead, what he thought of was buying King Grade Formations for the Royal Castle, but seeing as they were expensive and rare in the Tripartite Alliance, he seemingly had not enough resources to buy in multiple quantity at that time he was acting as an Alchemist.
Then again, if he sold all the magical beast corpses he obtained in the Tripartite Alliance Territory, then he might’ve been able to buy those King Grade Formations in multiple quantities but since he was dragged away by Isabella in a hurry, he couldn’t do these things.
Inwardly berating her for a while, he made a mental note to buy those the next time he visited.
In fact, he had a lot to buy as a souvenir but due to his longing for Evelynn, he had pushed aside other matters to return.
’Or maybe if I hadn’t met Isabella, I would’ve gone through cities, buying all the things I needed before returning...’ He once again discerned that it was entirely Isabella’s fault that made him unable to buy a lot of things that he could use to entertain and protect his family.
But then, if he didn’t follow Isabella, would he have been really been able to return this soon?
Shaking his head while realizing that there’s no use in thinking about this matter, he found himself arriving at the Royal Training Grounds, exclusive to the descendants of the emperor.
He surveyed the scene and saw those step-brothers and step-sisters, training like they’ve been giving it their all.
Their figures entrenched in sweat as they swung their weapons at the training equipment.
Not feeling like meeting them, Davis silently left in another direction and entered the inner courtyard as a paradise of flowers greeted him, a garden.
Taking in the fragrance, he tried to move forward when he noticed another one of his step-sister, contemplating in tranquility.
He took a step back and left again, thinking some of the places had become off-limits to him right now.
’Nah, I just don’t want to meet then right now...’ Davis smilingly shook his head.
He moved to a few more places and it was all occupied by his new family members for some reason.
What can he do? Feeling irritated, he returned outside his room and stood in front of the door.
Inside, he could feel Evelynn’s presence, likely cultivating as he could feel her energy undulations.
He blinked and snapped his fingers, "You three, get down..."
