Chapter 1023: Chapter 1022: Ledger Vaughn Asks Questions

A day later, Yusuf Zuck stopped as Rafael Case made a fuss for him to do so, but they were already not far from the canyon by then.

"Let’s descend, let’s descend," Rafael Case chuckled.

"If you have something in mind, just spill it. What’s going on?" Yusuf Zuck glared at him and said, "We are already quite close to that canyon, we must not be careless."

"Exactly because we can’t be careless, that’s why I told you to descend. Trust me." Rafael Case grabbed Yusuf Zuck and landed on the ground.

Once on the ground, Rafael Case suddenly tore several slits in his robe, untied his hair bun to let his white hair fall loose, and then he started rolling on the ground!

The ground was covered in ash, and he smeared it all over his face while rolling around.

Yusuf Zuck watched, dumbfounded.

"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up, make yourself look more wretched. It has to be convincing, but don’t overdo it. We need to create the illusion that we’ve just emerged from underground and encountered a life-threatening danger!"

"Oh, right, right!" Yusuf Zuck felt it made perfect sense. Rafael Case may not be good at other things, but acting was his life-long profession; he always looked dirty and was despised by others, yet he was clever in his own way, surviving by his wits.

Yusuf Zuck also made a few small tears in his clothes and got a bit dirty, but he did not make his face grimy; he just smeared a bit of ash on it appropriately.

"That’s the look, now let’s get our story straight," Rafael Case said, satisfied.

"Hmm." The two exchanged words as they kept flying.

After more than six hours, they finally saw the large canyon in the distance, and when they flew over, many people stood up!

"Which sect’s low-level cultivator is this? Why do they look so wretched?" a female Taoist from the Baiyun Monastery suddenly said.

"Hehe, they are from our Campbell Sect, and it looks like the two have had a stroke of fortune!" The speaker was Ledger Vaughn, who had noticed from afar that Zayden Newton had reached the cultivation level of Golden Immortal Ninth Rank.

"Master, Master, we’re back, we’re back, hahaha!" Rafael Case started to play the fool, laughing hysterically.

"Impudent, you’re back and you’re back, what’s there to laugh about?" The sect leader snapped.

"Master, I thought I would never see you again..." Rafael Case threw himself at the sect leader’s feet, then started crying with snot and tears, the most annoying part being that he was wiping his nose with the sect leader’s robe as he wept!

The members of the other three Great Sects were all dumbfounded. Where did this utterly shameless old scoundrel come from?

This old scoundrel looked to be over seventy years of age, yet why was he acting like a child?

"I’ve seen the Sect Leader, the Steward, and all the seniors!" Yusuf Zuck, however, maintained a dignified manner, bowing repeatedly to the seniors.

"Stop crying, what kind of look is that? You want to be the laughingstock? Get up!" The sect leader glared at Rafael Case with a look of disappointment, his useless disciple was always like this.

"Dail, what happened to you guys? Why are you in such a state?" At that moment, Aiden Wilkinson stood up and asked with a frown.

"In response to the teacher, Dail and I followed your instructions to go on a training journey, wandered a bit too far, then discovered a hole in the ground. Once we went in, we found an entirely different world full of traps, and it was not easy for us to reach the deepest part of the cave."

"Hehe, if you two lame cultivators could reach the deepest part of that cave, then it can’t be much of a cave!" Dillon Meskill sneered.

Yusuf Zuck gave an embarrassed smile, then stopped talking.

"Zayden Newton, Rafael Case, have either of you seen Delilah Ferguson before?" Ledger Vaughn suddenly asked.

"Junior Sister Snow? Is she really... dead?" Yusuf Zuck’s face suddenly changed, revealing a trace of sorrow.

"Who told you she was dead? And how do you know we all are here?" Ledger Vaughn took a step forward and demanded.

"Uh... Elder Fang told Rafael, asking us to gather here!" Yusuf Zuck replied, somewhat perplexed.

"Correct, it was I who informed them," Elder Fang nodded slightly.

"So, have you seen Delilah Ferguson, or have you seen her in a conflict with anyone?" Ledger Vaughn asked impatiently.

"We did see her when we first left the entrance. Junior Sister Ferguson was heading in this direction. However, she was so fast, Rafael and I wanted to team up with her, but she... she... didn’t take us!" Yusuf Zuck said awkwardly.

"She told us to get lost, calling us a burden..." Rafael Case muttered.

The crowd couldn’t help but laugh. Indeed, these two were burdens, Rafael Case only at the second rank of Immortal, and Zayden Newton at the Golden Immortal Ninth Rank. What else could they be if not burdens?

"And what’s with your Cultivation Level?" Ledger Vaughn sat down, his suspicions dissipated after hearing Yusuf Zuck and Rafael Case’s story, considering the two of them together were no match for Delilah Ferguson.

But how had Zayden Newton’s Cultivation Level increased so rapidly?

"For this, I must thank Instructor Aiden Wilkinson. She gave me two books, and these past few months I’ve gleaned some insight. Plus, Rafael and I had a few Spirit Fruits in secret, so after eating them, this happened!"

"What fruits?" the crowd asked, curious.

"This..." Yusuf Zuck hesitated to say.

"Ah, haha, their fruit is called fig, that I do know!" the Campell Sect’s Chief laughed, "Those fruits are extraordinary."

"I also know about it, Rafael, didn’t you say you were out of them? Turns out you had a secret stash?" Elder Fang suddenly laughed.

"Hmm, I know a bit as well, but that’s your possession, keep it and use it yourselves. There’s no need to speak of it!" Aiden Wilkinson also stepped forward to confirm.

Well, with the Sect’s Chief, the Elder, and the Instructor confirming, Ledger Vaughn had no good reason to inquire further. Thus, he gave the Sect’s Chief a peculiar look!

Just then, the Sect’s Chief urgently transmitted, "Overseer, don’t ask further. If you do, it’ll cause trouble. However, later on, I’ll see if Zayden Newton and Rafael Case have any more of those fruits. If there are any left, I’ll get one for you. It’s guaranteed to surprise you!"

"What kind of fruit could surprise me so much?" Overseer Vaughn transmitted back.

"Heh, I’ve heard the Green Spirit Sect has that fruit!" The Sect’s Chief replied with a smile.

"What? Green Spirit Fruit?" Overseer Vaughn was truly shocked, then turned his gaze toward the members of the Green Spirit Sect sitting not far from him!

Damn it, Zayden Newton and Rafael Case have Green Spirit Fruit? Really? If the Green Spirit Sect finds out, won’t they go insane?

With his thoughts racing, Ledger Vaughn suddenly smiled and nodded to Yusuf Zuck and Rafael Case, "You two lads, all messed up. I have two sets of clothes here. Take them and change, then come back to sit down, cultivate in peace, and wait for the Immortal Emperor to arrive!" As he spoke, he threw out two sets of new clothes, attempting to curry favor, hoping to exchange the clothes for a Green Spirit Fruit!

"Thank you, Overseer! Thank you, Overseer!" Yusuf Zuck and the other thanked him repeatedly.

"Come on, I’ll take you to a place to change," said the Sect’s Chief, standing up and waving. Yusuf Zuck and Rafael Case then followed him toward the back of the canyon.
