Horey simply could not understand-what connections Frank could possibly have that her mentor would show such a weak reaction? Talk about a bolt from the blue! "Hmph. It seems Sienna Noirot knows her place..." Frank strode a step forward just then, coolly demanding, "And what about you? Are you still going to insist on taking the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom?" "I..." Horey had lost her trump card.
In fact, everyone clearly heard what her mentor had told her-to kneel down before Frank and apologize.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile Horey did not feel as humiliated as Kairo, she was still utterly confused.
And since it was orders from above, she ultimately gave in for the sake of survival, kowtowing audibly and respectfully before Frank. "P-Please forgive me, Mr. Lawrence..." "Get out of here." Seeing that Horey had acknowledged her mistake, Frank waved her off, not bothered to press the issue.
Horey was certainly relieved, turning and fleeing the gates of Kornac's Keep without even collecting her late senior's belongings. It was certainly telling that she had no love for Kairo.
And with Horey's departure, the Kornac's Keep trials ended in bizarre fashion, though no one argued when Yosil announced that Frank won first place.
After all, his ethics, medicinal knowledge, and strength as a martial artist was head and shoulders above them.
The elders agreed on that unanimously too. Still, things got awkward as they had no idea what position they should arrange for S Frank as an apprentice who displayed medical prowess Yosil.

"In that case, you shall be an honorary elder! Brother Lawrence, the stores of Kornac's Keep are at your disposal, and there won't be any restrictions on your freedom."

All the elders of Kornac's Keep agreed to the idea, as did Frank-he certainly would afford Kornac's Keep sattention as an outlet assisting the restoration of Mystic Sky Sect.

At noon, there was a grand feast held for all the participants of the trial.
Halfway through it, Yosil sneaked an elegantly decorated black wooden box to Frank.
Frank opened to find a fresh red flower laying serenely within, its petals glowing. The mere scent refreshed the spirit, and one would feel like they were several years younger.
Yosil sighed, staring wistfully at the black box. "I won't lie to you-I lived this long just by taking it out and sniffing it from tto time." Frank could read his mind and chuckled. "I have a farm resort in Riverton with a spring that promotes longevity. You can try it when you have the time."
