He thought he had planned everything out so long Matteo would agree to be his master, he would do anything no matter how arduous the challenge was. He could endure any hardships without a frown as long as he could become stronger.
He never expected Matteo’s request to be such!
Lily trembled from bewilderment as her impression of Matteo suddenly changed for the worse.
Justin gritted his teeth as he slowly said, “I’m sorry, I’m willing to do anything besides this.”
Lily was touched at just how well Justin treated her.
“Haha! ” Matteo could not help but laugh as he slowly said, “Dude, you said you’ll do anything so long I’ll be your master and yet you can’t even agree to such a small request. How are you going to be strong? You have to know those powerful individuals are the loneliest. People like you who can ’t put their emotions aside will never be strong let alone worthy to be my disciple.”
Matteo chuckled at that. “Yes, I’ve recently thought of accepting a disciple, but my disciple has to roam the entire martial arts world and be indomitable! I want my disciple to put down everything they have. By letting go of the woman you love can you then be indomitable! You can’t do so but still want to be my disciple? Impossible.” Matteo snickered and left.
Justin clenched his fist tightly upon looking at his back. He was unwilling to accept that he had just missed his opportunity.
Lily then approached him slowly and sincerely said, “Justin, thank you.”
Lily was touched as scenes of him crawling under someone’s crotch just for her was deeply embedded in her mind.
Justin slowly stood up and smiled. “Lily, you don’t thank me as you are the most important person in my heart.”
Lily was deeply moved. She approached Justin and took his hand. “You treat me really well. Let’s go.”
Justin was elated at that instant as his Goddess was holding his hand! It felt amazing!
Justin felt like he was on steroids and was filled with energy.
They arrived in town by evening and according to the locals, this town was called Dragonia.
The streets of Dragonia were rowdy and bustling with life! The shops were busy with customers, it was a huge difference when compared to those few other smaller towns they had passed through.
Justin quickly asked a passerby and found out that the Palace was just a dozen kilometers away.
At that news, Lily was overjoyed and elated at the thought she could soon see Darryl.
At night, they both found a small inn and Lily called Justin after checking into separate rooms.
Justin stood by his room door with a smile and asked, “Lily, what’s the matter?”
He was still feeling sweet and mushy from thoughts of Lily holding his hand during the day.
Lily bit her lip and gently said, “Justin, thank you for protecting me all the way. I think we should split ways tomorrow as the roads from Dragonia to the Palace are well-built with many people on it as well, so I don’t think it’ll be dangerous. It has been tough on you to protect me all this while, but I don’ t want to trouble you any further. I’m also afraid that Darryl might misunderstand the two of us…”
What?
Justin’s smile was instantly stuck to his face as he thought he misheard and concernedly looked at Lily. “Lily, you want to split up with me?”
He felt something building up in his chest when Justin said that.
He walked all the way here with her and was so used to seeing and caring for her every day. He did not want to split up with her.
“Justin, I know you treat me well but there’s only one man in my life and it’s Darryl. You and I just aren’t destined to be…” Lily bit her lip and softly said.
Justin felt his mind buzzed as though all his energy had left his body, He was disappointed but still forced a smile. “Okay. I wish you and Darryl happiness. I… I won’t follow you from tomorrow then.”
Lily could feel his disappointment as she bit her lip before giving Justin a light and short hug. She then smiled and said, “Well, then… Good night!”
