Barging into a Magic World after Returning from Xianxia - Chapter 29

In the meeting hall of the Ingrid family.

“Leader, a strange thing has happened in the Nolan family…”

“What’s going on? Where did the people in the courtyard come from?”

Anthony, the current head of household from the Ingrid family, felt very confused after hearing the report from his subordinate.

The one who reported to him was an undercover agent planted by the Ingrid family into the Nolan family.

After the big event happened in the Nolan clan, he found an opportunity to report back to Ingrid’s head of household secretly.

The act of planting an undercover agent between the major families was not uncommon. Anthony was even sure that there must be an undercover agent planted by the Nolan family hiding amongst his own. However, they hid it very well and didn’t let him find out.

“They actually made all the children in the family kneel in front of the courtyard. What are they planning?”

The more Anthony thought about it, the more strange he felt. This was too abnormal.

That spy lowered his head and said, “I don’t know who that person is. I only know that that he’s very powerful. Even the grand ancestor of the Nolan family isn’t a match for him.”

“What’s the relationship between him and the Nolan family?” Anthony asked.

“I think he’s Miss Christina’s teacher,” the spy replied.

“Teacher.” Anthony frowned. After a while, he relaxed his eyebrows and said, “That’s good. I think this person will leave sooner or later. He won’t pose too much of a threat to us.”

He was most afraid that the Nolan family would suddenly become stronger and affect the balance of the three families. If that happened, the other party would definitely start to invade his family.

“Go back. If you have any news, report back. This is your reward.” Anthony waved his hand to let the spy leave.

“Thank you, Grandpa.” After receiving the money, the spy immediately smiled happily and soon disappeared in front of his eyes.

Not long after.

An old butler came into the Ingrid family’s meeting hall. He reported to Anthony, “Grandpa, someone from the Nolan family came over.”

“What did they say?” Anthony asked.

“They said to extend an invitation to you and grand ancestor Jeff to attend the talent test for the Nolan family’s new generation,” the butler said respectfully.

“They even asked grand ancestor Jeff to go with them. Is August up to something?”

Thinking of this, Anthony didn’t want to waste any time. He stood up and went to the place where grand ancestor Jeff was in seclusion to invite him out.

…

At the same time, the members of the Murphy family also received the abnormal news from the Nolan family.

They basically had the same reaction as the Ingrid family. They quickly went to report this to their grand ancestor who was in seclusion.

They planned to go to the Nolan family tomorrow to see what August was up to.

The day of testing the talent of the family’s children soon arrived.

At this time of the year, the Nolan family always held a grand ceremony. Everyone in the town knew that the Nolan family was going to test their disciples.

The first batch of people to come to the Nolan family was the mayor of the town. He was a middle-aged man whose strength had reached that of a fourth-tier mage. His name was Wilson.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw August who was very energetic. He laughed and said, “Such a small matter actually made you come out of closed-door cultivation. It seems that there must be a genius among the children of the Nolan family this time. Congratulations.”

“No, no, no. No matter how powerful they are, they can’t be compared to your son. I heard that he is a genius with four-star talent. Our town has a successor.”

August came up to welcome him. His old face was full of smiles as he spoke in a hypocritical and courteous manner.

After chatting for a few words, he got a servant to bring Wilson and his child into the fighting arena and waited quietly.

After a short while, the members of the big families arrived, and the arena was immediately filled with people.

In an instant, hundreds of people swarmed in. They were all very familiar with each other and chatting with each other before things started.

The members of the Ingrid family and the Murphy family also arrived.

They sat on the seats beside August.

The grand ancestors of the three families were hundreds of years old, but their eyes were still shining and they looked very energetic.

“August, what are you doing?” The Ingrid family’s grand ancestor said gloomily.

“You’ll find out later,” August said calmly.

A few years ago, August had been invited by the grand ancestors of the two families to see their talent test.

At that time, a four-star talent child appeared in the Ingrid and Murphy families at the same time.

However, he was extremely envious.

This was because the highest talent amongst the children in his family was only barely three-star. The difference was simply too great.

Because of this, the two families had been working together in tacit understanding over the past few years. Both openly and secretly, they planned to devour the Nolan family. Many of their businesses had been pushed out of business.

They were bullying the Nolan family because they had no successors.

Those four-star gifted children stood proudly behind their grand ancestors at this moment. They raised their heads and puffed out their chests. They looked at the Nolan family’s children with disdain.

“I hope you won’t disappoint me,” Murphy’s grand ancestor said calmly.

Soon.

The Nolan family’s children of the right age walked onto the arena one by one.

Under the watchful eyes of the many experts of the various factions in the town, the children were slightly nervous.

This test would determine their fates.

“The first test. Henry.” The old butler of the Nolan family held a book in his hand and began to call out names.

The child named Henry timidly walked forward. Under the guidance of the old butler, he pressed his small hand under the talent stone that was similar to a tiny mountain.

Not long after, the magic talent stone lit up like a candle.

“Henry, one-star talent,” the old Butler said faintly.

Such talent was only passable and could only practice magic casually. It was not outstanding.

“Second place…”
