“Am I wrong?”

August was stunned. At the same time, he grabbed Christina’s arm.

“You people are working together to deceive me?!” August looked at Lance and the elders angrily. “You almost made the Nolan family lose a good seedling.”

After he pinched Christina’s bones and injected some of his magic power into her body, August found that Christina was not the trash that Lance said she was.

She was a talented child.

At the thought of this, August could not help but feel angry.

“A good seedling?” Lance looked confused.

He had no idea what his grand ancestor was talking about but judging from the situation earlier, it was obvious that the grand ancestor had noticed something strange.

And this strange phenomenon had appeared from his eldest daughter.

“Even if I don’t use magic crystals to test Christina’s magical talent and I’m still unsure of her potential, I’ve come across so many people in the past. With just a glance, I can tell that Christina clearly has a talent for magic. To let such a potential daughter from our family be buried just like that, how could the family leader let such a thing pass?”

August’s white brows furrowed, showing his might without being angry. The surrounding air instantly turned cold.

To think that he had just praised Lance as a patriarch for doing a good job.

It seems he had been made a fool.

Looking at it now, he was simply muddle-headed!

“Impossible!” Lance took a few steps back, his face full of disbelief.

He looked at his daughter, and the image of testing his daughter’s talent appeared in his mind.

At that time, his memory was still very fresh. He was full of anticipation. After all, she was his daughter and he hoped that her talent would be extraordinary.

However, when he saw that the talent stone in the arena did not show any reaction, it was like a basin of cold water that extinguished his fiery heart.

On the other hand, the other children at least either showed two stars of talent or one, at the very least.

For this reason, he refused to believe it and specially dragged Christina back to test her a few more times.

However, the results were all in vain.

His attitude toward his daughter gradually changed.

Now, his daughter, who he had always treated as trash, actually had magic talent according to the grand ancestor’s observation?

It was impossible!

“Grand ancestor, this is impossible. A few years ago, I repeatedly tested her many times.” Lance shook his head crazily.

“Is that so? Come up and take a look for yourself!” August snorted coldly and made way.

Lance hurriedly grabbed his daughter’s hand, letting his mana slowly flow into Christina’s body.

In an instant, he could feel that his daughter’s meridians were unobstructed, strands of starlight faintly discernible. Even traces of mana had begun to slowly be absorbed into his daughter’s body from their surroundings.

This was a common characteristic of one being able to cultivate magic power!

This time, even Lance, who wanted to quibble, could not help but cry out in shock. He was completely stunned.

“Hmph!”

August’s expression was very displeased as he questioned, “You can even be so negligent to your own daughter. How many family geniuses have you missed out on over these years? What else do you have to say?”

Lance’s expression was unsightly as he stammered, “This-this-this… How can this be? Christina, tell me, what’s going on?”

Lancer could not figure it out and could only look at his daughter with a frown.

Being questioned by her father, Christina turned to look at Austin with a request. She discovered that Austin was still calmly drinking his tea with an unfazed expression on his face.

“Teacher, can I let them know?” Christina asked weakly.

She didn’t know what Austin was thinking. He was afraid that she would expose her teacher’s alchemic talent and make him unhappy.

It would be considered a loss on her end if that were the case because she was already questioning how such a powerful person could have suddenly fainted in the forest.

Did he encounter some trouble or an unsolvable problem?

If his identity was exposed, it would attract a powerful enemy for her master.

Austin smiled and said, “That’s up to you.”

After hearing that, Christina heaved a sigh of relief and turned to her father. “Grand ancestor, father, it was my teacher who awakened my magical talent.”

“Teacher?” August and Lance were stunned at the same time.

The two of them turned their gazes toward Austin, who was sitting calmly behind them.

“He… How did he do it?” August was extremely shocked.

What kind of method was involved?!

He was actually able to transform trash into a magical talent.

He had never heard of such a thing before.

Unless the other party was a powerful existence that surpassed the ninth-tier, every other possibility seemed impossible.

However, such a terrifying existence was something the Nolan family could not hope to obtain. It only existed in legends.

Why would someone like this suddenly appear in this small town?

Furthermore, looking at the other party’s appearance, he was still so young.

“Impossible, you must be plotting against us with this fellow, wanting to rebel against the family. You even said something about a teacher. This man doesn’t look like a teacher at all!”

Lance came back to his senses.

He suddenly recalled his identity and situation. Just now, he had lied to grand ancestor August.

Moreover, he had even smeared his daughter’s reputation, saying she had wanted to rebel.

Now, the situation seemed to be becoming more and more different from what he had imagined.

No, he absolutely could not let the grand ancestor change his attitude toward the two of them. Otherwise, his position as head of house would be lost.

Thinking of this, Lance’s face was filled with ferocity. He gritted his teeth and said, “Grand ancestor, no matter who he is or how talented my unfilial daughter is, she can only face death if she wants to work against the family. Grand ancestor, please kill the two of them as a warning to others!”
