Chapter 39 A Promise He Will Soon Regret

The old Sang's words fell and caused a huger stir than Berry's words among those present here. Who was Sang? Even the old patriarch had to give him a face and show special treatment to him.

"Uncle, have you met him?" Berry's face couldn't help but brighten up when she heard the words Sang said.

"I wasn't the one to meet him, but he is safe and will always be," the old Sang felt the honest concern of Berry towards William, so he answered her question without holding back. "I won't say it again," but he turned to face the frowned old patriarch, "this kid holds a great significance to the entire academy."

"I want to meet this little dude even more right now," unlike what Sang expected, Berry's grandfather suddenly broke into laughter. "Come, let's sit down and talk about this William. I want to hear everything about him from you."

"You…" the old Sang didn't expect such a response. But as the old patriarch himself invited him, and so he couldn't decline. And then he started to tell the tale Ellina told him.

Berry didn't explain things to her father or grandfather when she woke up. She thought that William was in enough trouble already. If she told them about what he did for her, who knew what the old men here would do to him.

Just a simple misunderstanding brought William such trouble already. Besides, she didn't know if she got the right to expose William's secrets to others, even to her father and grandfather.

"Grandfather, we need to remove these posters now," after everything was cleared, Berry finally had the courage to speak about her thoughts again.

"Of course, of course," her grandfather was in a better mood now. Who was he? He was one of the powerhouses of the entire academy. Even amidst the empire, his name was still ringing with his big deeds.

So, when he heard about what William did when forging his arrows, the old patriarch could see the importance of William. he inwardly commended the decisive actions of the forging headmaster by giving William such special treatment.

"Come, let your grandfather check your status," after the old Sang left, the grandfather sat with Berry in a secluded room.

When his little granddaughter hesitated and put up such a funny frowning expression, the old patriarch laughed. "You might trick others' eyes, but not me. I know you made a breakthrough in your strength. Tell me, was it that kid's doing?"

Berry felt an instant scare and started to give excuses for William, yet her grandfather didn't have the slightest intention of touching William.

In his eyes this mysterious kid didn't only give new insights and opened brand new doors for the forging masters here, but he also helped his granddaughter in her crucial problem.

Even he himself failed to help to solve such a disastrous problem. So, when Berry woke up, he noticed the strange fluctuations her body emitted.

He might not be familiar with the concept of twin spirit or spirit merging, but he could see the faint golden spirit power amidst the usual red one.

Berry was a little girl, and she loved her grandfather too much. So, under his repeated questions and persistence, she couldn't help but speak.

Especially when her grandfather promised her to not touch William under any condition. And that made her feel great relief.

Berry didn't hold anything back from him. With her grandfather's strict promises, she decided to spill all the beans out. In her little eyes and mind, she cared most for William's safety more than his secrets.

And soon enough, her grandfather would regret being rash in giving her such promise.

"Twin spirits? What does that even mean?!!"

Inside his own room, and after sending Berry away, the old patriarch was all in deep puzzlement. The words his granddaughter told him were still fresh in his mind. And he kept repeating them until he memorised them by heart.

"Sigh, why did I give her such a promise?" At this point he felt quite itchy, so itchy to go outside and seek that kid's whereabouts and force him to tell him everything William knew. "Sigh! if I went out and looked for him, and didn't touch him... This won't count as me breaking the promise, right?"

Finally, he couldn't hold himself back anymore. The old patriarch left on the fourth day after William's departure and started to look for William's whereabouts.

With his own level of strength as a high level dark gold spirit master, one step away from the legendary rank, he found William's place fast. William was inside the cave of his, still lost in his own world of merging.

"What is he doing?" Seeing this mysterious kid and recognizing him from the poster, the old patriarch couldn't help but feel more puzzlement.

But he didn't come closer or tried to inspect William using his superior spirit power. Instead, he walked to a hiding place and waited.

He feared to alarm such a kid of his presence. Berry's grandfather wanted to see the true essence of this kid. After all, the relationship between his beloved granddaughter and this presumingly porter didn't miss his keen senses.

Starting from there, everything William did was seen by him. The fight with the Golden Sky academy kids made the old patriarch gain more insight about William's personality.

He was sure now this kid wasn't as easy as it might seem. He was sure William was a spirit master, feigning to be a porter before. And that greatly puzzled him.

In his eyes, there was no reason for a spirit master to hide such fact and live a torment life of a porter in the academy, or in any academy.

"Can it be his mysterious master?" Berry's grandfather couldn't help but think about such a possibility. And yet he couldn't even understand the benefits someone like William would get by such suffering.

With more questions gained rather than answers, he followed William during the next few days.
