“Mhm.”
Thea nodded slightly.
“Anyway, I’m glad that you’re back. Make yourself at home here. As for your matter, I will personally go to Mount Heavenly Path
and resolve the grudge between the both of you.”
Thea said. However, her expression remained ice-cold and distant.
She glanced at Sienna before looking at James and said, “I can tell Sienna has a crush on you. If you choose to remain in the
Callahans, I will allow her to marry you. Once you become a member of the Callahans, the grudge between you and Mount
Heavenly Path will be removed.”
“What are you talking about, Thea?” Sienna blushed.
Even though she was a powerful figure who had cultivated for many Epochs, she could not help but blush when it came to
romantic affairs. This was a natural instinct of a woman and had nothing to do with her strength.
“Thea,” James blurted.
He came here to search for Thea. Now, she was going to make Sienna marry him.
“What is it? Are you displeased?’ Thea glanced at him and said coldly, “Sienna’s unrivaled in both her looks and
potential.novelebook.com If her progress wasn’t delayed due to the Energy Deviation, she would have reached the Caelum
Ancestral God Rank long ago. Putting her rank aside, are you trying to say that her appearance is not worthy of you?”
“No.”
James hurriedly explained, “Sienna’s a great girl. But...”
“Not buts. The decision is final.”
Then, she turned to leave.
James was at a loss.
Sienna walked toward him and apologized, “I’m really sorry, James. That’s how Thea is. She has always been decisive and
assertive. Please don’t take it to heart.”
James could only smile bitterly.
Then, he remained in the Callahans.
He wanted to look for Thea and set things straight with her. Perhaps he would even confess his love to him. However, he could
not find her anywhere.
At the same time, Thea was already at Mount Heavenly Path.
In the palace where Herschel was located, he was sitting on the throne while glancing downward at Thea. Though he was head
over heels for her, this was Mount Heavenly Path — his territory. As such, he did not act in a subservient manner.
“What a rare guest!”
Herschel laughed.
Thea, who was wearing a black dress, looked at Herschel and said, “I came here for James.”
“James Caden?’ Displeased, Herschel said, “Are you trying to tell me that you’ve got the hots for him?”
Thea shook her head and said, “No. As he will be marrying my sister Sienna soon, he’ll be a Callahan in the future. I believe it is
perfectly reasonable for me as a Callahan to urge you to put the grudge between you and him in the past.”
Thea simply cut to the chase.
“Hahaha...” Herschel laughed and said, “Well, if I turn your request, I would appear to be a bully, won’t I? James is still in the
Callahans, isn’t he? How about this? Ask him to come to Mount Heavenly Path and admit his wrongdoings. Along the way, I will
send cultivators who are two ranks higher than his to block his path. Besides, I’ll be setting up some Formations.”
“I have just a few conditions. One, he has to travel from the Callahans to Mount Heavenly Path on foot. Two, the time limit for this
challenge is five hundred years. Within five hundred years, he has to defeat the cultivators I sent to block his way and cross the
Formations I have set up. If he arrives at Mount Heavenly Path, I will put our grudge behind me. He can even join Mount
Heavenly Path and obtain unlimited cultivation resources.”
Hearing this, Thea furrowed her eyebrows.
What was the difference between this and the 10,000-year agreement? The only difference was that James now had a shorter
time period and a higher difficulty level.
Herschel continued, “Since James is going to marry Sienna, have her wear her wedding gown and wait here at Mount Heavenly
Path for James to arrive.”
