Life After Prison

Chapter 1667
Severin smiled wryly and asked, “Hey, what’s going on? Why are you tormenting yourselves like this? I don’t think you did
anything wrong.”
“We are very sorry for our mistakes. Please don’t hold it against us. We promise never to do it again.”
“Yes. We were foolish to underestimate you.
They were all so frightened that they did not dare to get up.
Meanwhile, Shella and Diane could not help themselves from giggling. Those disciples seemed to think Severin was a petty
person
Severin waved his hand and channeled an unseen force that gently lifted the kneeling disciples to their feet.
“I’m not going to hold a grudge against any of you over what happened yesterday. You didn’t know who I was, and so did many
of the elders. I can’t blame you for that.”
Severin retracted his invisible force and continued, “Your commitment to fulfilling your duties as members of the patrol, and your
unwavering attitude toward preventing any suspicious individuals from passing beyond a certain point, is commendable.
“Really? Does this mean you don’t blame us for our actions?” Rano and the others heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing
Severin’s words.
Severin, however, then changed his tune a little and lectured them, “That doesn’t excuse you being so condescending and
dismissive of us. At the very least, one of you should have informed the sect leader and asked if he knows such an individual.
That is the proper thing to do. Have I made myself clear?”
“Yes! We will learn from that! Thank you for your advice. We will never look down on anyone again.” Rano promptly extended
his hand for a handshake.
“We will take this as a valuable lesson. Thank you.”
“But if you’re still unhappy with us, you could slap us a few times to vent your displeasure if you want?”

Several other disciples were still a little anxious, and they were all being overly courteous to them.
“Yesterday is in the past, so let’s all move on and look toward the future. I can see that you have reached a decent level of
attainment. Most of you are either level two or level three saints. Your level is also very stable, I might add. A breakthrough
should be on the horizon, yes?” Severin glanced at their attainment levels and remarked.
Rano nodded. “Yes. Our attainment is pretty stable now, but it’s not easy to get a breakthrough. We need to wait in line if we
want to get sorne pills. It’ll probably take at least six months before our turn arrives.”
“six months?” Severin was at a loss for words. Six months was too long a wait just to get some pills.
“Yeah. It’s not like we have any other option, though. Those with higher attainment levels generally have it easier, since they
have priority in resource allocation because of their attainment. There are many people on our level withit the sect and only three
fourth–grade low–rank alchemists. The rate at which they produce pills is a little slow, and whether or not they will even. set
about crafting pills is highly dependent on their mood. They may take prolonged breaks if they have other tasks at hand, which
makes it even more difficult for us to get any pills.”
Rana sighed in resignation, and the others expressed a similar level of helplessness.
Severin nodded and proceeded to scrutinize the group’s attainment level. With a wave of his hand, several pills floated out and
hovered before them.
“I’ll give each of you a pill. Use it during your training. These pills should be able to ensure a smooth breakthrough since all of
you are already on the verge of one,” Severin said with a smile to tann and the others.
