Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2746: Chapter 2746: The Selection Approaches

Early on, when he realized that he and Milana Harrington had become husband and wife, he decided that Milana was his woman, and could only be his woman.

And now, Annie Campbell tells him:

The Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect actually arranged a marriage for Milana?

In an instant, Wyatt Barnes’s expression turned sullen, as if water might drip from it...

"Is what you’re saying true?!"

Wyatt Barnes stared coldly at Annie Campbell, asking in a deep voice.

"What true or false?"

Annie Campbell knowingly asked, pretending not to understand Wyatt Barnes’s words.

"Is it true that the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect arranged a marriage for Milana Harrington?"

Wyatt Barnes asked once more.

"Do I have any need to lie to you?"

Annie Campbell glanced faintly at Wyatt Barnes, then her gaze turned somewhat strange, "Why do I feel like you’re particularly agitated when I mention the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect arranged a marriage for Milana Harrington... The man who took Milana’s body couldn’t be you, right?"

"I don’t think it could be you... You’re so weak, Milana wouldn’t possibly be interested in you."

Speaking to the latter part, Annie Campbell shook her head first.

"Hmph!"

Listening to Annie Campbell’s words, Wyatt snorted coldly, turning away directly and ignoring Annie Campbell.

But in his heart, a raging fire of anger was ignited.

"Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect... If you really dare to let my woman marry another, I’ll destroy your entire sect!"

In extreme anger, Wyatt inwardly swore.

At this moment, he fiercely desired to quickly gain the strength to forcibly rescue Milana Harrington from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect!

Upon leaving, Wyatt Barnes was not worried about Annie Campbell making a move to kill him.

Regardless of whether Annie Campbell thought he had a powerful force backing him, he didn’t care, because he knew that even if Annie Campbell tried to kill him, someone would stop it...

And that person was the white-robed youth named Patel with whom he had made a transaction half a year ago.

Now, the Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact ’Xuan Yang Nine Petal Ring’ of that white-robed youth is still in his hands, and the other party is eager for him to retrieve the other Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact ’Xuan Yin Nine Petal Ring’ from the small world left by the Immortal King expert. They definitely wouldn’t let him be easily killed.

At least, before he gets the ’Xuan Yin Nine Petal Ring’ for the other party, they wouldn’t easily let anyone kill him.

This was something he realized half a year ago.

And it was at that time that he knew he had a ’life-preserving charm’ in the Capital City of Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.

Moreover, this charm was so strong that even if the Imperial Family of Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation tried their best, it would be difficult to break.

Let alone someone like Annie Campbell.

"Seems like you have some temper..."

Seeing Wyatt Barnes leave after giving a cold snort, Annie Campbell didn’t stop him, watching Wyatt’s back with a smile on her lips, "Looks like he does care about Milana... Though he has a sense of responsibility, he’s just too fickle."

"If Milana knew he was passionately involved with another woman, who knows what she would think..."

Muttering by the end, Annie Campbell shook her head, looking back at Wyatt’s retreating figure with more dissatisfaction.

"Leilany."

Returning to Leilany’s side, Wyatt Barnes spoke before Leilany could, "I want to go back and train... Are you going to continue shopping with the Thirteenth Prince and the others, or come back with me?"

Currently, Wyatt Barnes is solely focused on training.

Although he wants Leilany to return with him, as having her around provides him with the ideal training environment formed by the ’Divine Crystal’.

The training environment within the Thirteenth Prince’s palace is good, but compared to the environment formed by Leilany’s ’Divine Crystal’, it’s still far inferior.

"Brother Wyatt, I’ll go back with you."

Even though she doesn’t know why Wyatt is in such a hurry to train, Leilany promptly said she wants to go back with him.

Because she feels happy only when she’s with Wyatt; if she’s alone with others, even with food and drinks and fun, she doesn’t feel happy.

Wyatt Barnes hurriedly left with Leilany, while the Thirteenth Prince ’Crue Dragonsmith’ also quickly followed with Francis Bushell, filled with confusion, "What did Annie Campbell do to Elder Brother Ling Tian? To make him so eager to return to training."

However, on the way back, Wyatt Barnes suddenly had a flash of inspiration and went off to find the white-robed youth named Patel.

As for Leilany and the other three, Wyatt directed them to return first.

"Brother Patel."

Upon seeing the white-robed youth, Wyatt Barnes spoke directly, his face serious, "I want to ask for your help."

"What help?"

The white-robed youth sat at a stone table in the courtyard, leisurely sipping his tea, and glanced casually at Wyatt standing not far away, asking.

"I want to ask you to have the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect cancel the marriage between their disciple ’Milana Harrington’ and someone from another faction... even by force if necessary!"

Wyatt Barnes spoke, his gaze flashing between his eyes, his voice deep.

Though he didn’t know when the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect planned to marry off Milana, he realized that stopping the marriage by relying on himself wasn’t realistic.

So, he thought of the white-robed youth.

Although he didn’t know the white-robed youth’s cultivation level, since the other party possessed an ’Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact’, and the entire Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect only had three ’King Grade Immortal Artifacts’, if the white-robed youth was willing to intervene and prevent a marriage alliance involving the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, it should not be a difficult task.

"Oh?"

The white-robed youth placed the teacup on the table, casting a meaningful glance at Wyatt Barnes, "That Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect disciple ’Milana Harrington’, what is she to you? Why do you want to stop the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect from forging a marriage alliance involving her?"

"She is my woman!"

Wyatt Barnes said directly.

"If I don’t help you with this, does that mean you won’t help me retrieve the ’Mysterious Yin Nine Pyramids Ring’?"

The white-robed youth looked deeply at Wyatt Barnes and asked.

"Of course not."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head immediately, "One thing does not interfere with the other... regarding that matter, since I’ve already agreed, and Brother Patel, you’ve also given me the ’Concealment Pendant’, naturally I won’t go back on my word."

"This time, seeking Brother Patel for help is purely another matter."

Wyatt Barnes said.

"Then if I help you with this... what can you give me?"

The white-robed youth, like a businessman, looked at Wyatt Barnes with interest and asked.

"I am willing to make Brother Patel a promise: as long as you help me with this... in the future, at any time, as long as you request it, anything within my power, I, Wyatt Barnes, will not refuse!"

Wyatt Barnes said.

"Listening to you... do you plan to get something for nothing?"

The white-robed youth smiled faintly, appearing unconcerned, "The things you, Wyatt Barnes, can solve, could it be I cannot solve them myself?"

Hearing the white-robed youth’s words, although Wyatt Barnes was not willing, he remained silent.

Indeed.

As strong as the white-robed youth in front of him was, how could there be matters he couldn’t solve but Wyatt could?

Unless he told the white-robed youth:

That he possessed ninety-nine Heavenly Veins, with limitless potential in the future?

But wouldn’t that still be getting something for nothing?

After all, who could guarantee that he, Wyatt Barnes, would not meet an untimely end along the way?

Therefore, even he felt the promise he made had no persuasive power.

"Forget it."

And while Wyatt Barnes was silent, thinking there was no hope, the white-robed youth spoke again, "I can try to help you with this favor... but, whether it will succeed, is uncertain. After all, I don’t yet know which faction the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect is allying with."

"As long as Brother Patel is willing to help, Wyatt Barnes will be deeply grateful."

Wyatt Barnes said immediately, "Moreover, the promise I made remains effective."

After speaking, Wyatt Barnes bid farewell to the white-robed youth and left.

"What an interesting little fellow..."

After Wyatt Barnes left, the white-robed youth smiled faintly, squinting his eyes, "And what’s more, a romantic soul."

When he mentioned ’romantic soul’, a hint of melancholy appeared deep in the white-robed youth’s eyes.

Once upon a time, was he not also a ’romantic soul’?

Yet, the fates were fleeting, and in the end, he could only retrieve the Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact he once gifted her, to console her spirit in the heavens.

Although the white-robed youth had agreed to help, it didn’t deter Wyatt Barnes from immersing himself in intense cultivation. He returned to the royal palace, back to the Thirteenth Prince’s residence, and submerged himself in his training.

There was a sense that unless he broke through to a ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’ state, he would not stop his secluded cultivation!

Time passed quietly.

The day drew closer for the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family to select participants for the ’Desolate Territory Grand Competition’.

As the day for the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family selection drew near, the capital city became busier and more chaotic.

The new faces were mostly people from the various royal mansions of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, and some curious onlookers who traveled from different regions. While they might not witness the selection in person, being in the capital allowed them to hear the results first.

More people naturally meant more chaos...

Yet, Wyatt Barnes, fully immersed in his cultivation, was unaware of all this.

After Wyatt Barnes entered his seclusion for cultivation, regarding the events in the capital of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation worth mentioning:

The Fourth Prince, Judson Dragonsmith, upon learning from Jenny Campbell, the fourth miss of the Campbell Family, that Wyatt Barnes indeed had a significant background, did not dare to hold any illusions.

Even his cousin, who was a closed-door disciple of the last Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect, did not dare provoke Wyatt Barnes, so why should he?

Was he courting death?

Judson Dragonsmith did not realize that the reason Annie Campbell showed leniency to Wyatt Barnes and advised Jenny Campbell not to provoke him further was not because Wyatt Barnes had a significant background, but purely because of her close friend:

Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s disciple, Milana Harrington!
