Chapter 2704 Let Me Follow You


    “Mr. Chance, I would like to seek your counsel on something. May Ie in?” Sigurd asked.


    “Um...”


    Jared hesitated. After all, Vi was still in his room, and Sigurd might misunderstand if he saw her


    there.


    Just then, Sigurd caught sight of Vi, adorned in a gown of brilliant red that was impossible to miss,


    lying draped across a table.


    “Ah, the sect leader is here. I''m sorry for imposing. I shall return another day, Mr. Chance...”


    Sigurd hurriedly apologized and turned to leave.


    “Don''t go!” Jared halted Sigurd.


    He knew that if left unrified, Sigurd would most certainly misinterpret that something was going on


    between him and Vi. The news of Vi''s presence in his roomte at night would definitely spread


    like wildfire through Emerald Cauldron Sect.


    Jared didn''t wish for people to misunderstand, nor did he wish for Vi''s reputation to be tarnished as


    a result of it.


    After all, it was possible that Vi might ride on the misunderstanding to force him to get together with


    her, and Jared would be left with no other choice but toply by then.


    “Please,e in. Ms. Warwick merely stopped by to offer her thanks and perhaps enjoyed one too


    many drinks...”


    Jared pulled Sigurd into the room and continued, “Please send two of your disciples to escort Ms.


    Warwick back.”


    Once inside, Sigurd noticed that Vi was indeed in a deep slumber, her attire untouched. Realizing


    his mistake, he promptly summoned two disciples to see her back to her room.


    And then, Jared and Sigurd were left alone.


    All of a sudden, Sigurd dropped to his knees. “Mr. Chance, now that you have soaked in the medicinal


    pool, are you going to leave Emerald Cauldron Sect? Where will you go next?”


    “I haven''t given it much thought. Why are you asking me these?” Jared cast a puzzled look at Sigurd.

    “Mr. Chance, I havee to see that your power is as deep and mysterious as the ocean''s abyss. I


    wish to follow you and be your humble follower,” Sigurd said sincerely.


    “You wish to follow me?” Jared''s eyes widened. “And give up your recently crowned title as an elder?”


    “I would rather follow you than be an elder. Whether as an elder or amon cultivator, the


    ultimate goal is to ascend to immortality. Even if I am already an elder of Emerald Cauldron Sect, I will


    never attain my goal, so I''d rather serve you, Mr. Chance!” Sigurd reasoned in a determined tone.


    “How are you so sure that following me will help you attain immortality? Even I know not if I will attain


    immortality, let alone guarantee that for you,” Jared said with a thin smile.


    “I believe that with you, I will achieve immortality,” Sigurd dered without hesitation.


    “Haha, you ce too much faith in me. Let me warn you. I don''t know if you will ever achieve


    immortality following me, but it''s almost certain that you might lose your life earlier than you think. The


    dangers I face are beyond your imagination, so you''re better off staying as the elder of Emerald


    Cauldron Sect. Even after you attain immortality, you will experience no significant difference to the life


    you''re living right now. What''s more important is leading a meaningful life,” Jared advised.


    He knew well the risks thaty ahead. If Sigurd followed him, Sigurd might not live long.


    His immediate concern was to retrieve Divine Bow at Norwal City. It was a task fraught with danger as


    it was even more formidable than Yuven''s Imperial Beast City.


    Despite that, Jared''s resolve was unwavering. No matter how dangerous it was, he was adamant about


    retrieving Divine Bow. Without it, and with his sword spirit, Zelda, injured and Dragonyer Sword


    weakened, he would be left without a suitable weapon.
