1183 Apportionment Trial (2)
The moment Elder Dewey and the middle-aged woman appeared, Ace instantly felt the tension between Elder Dewey and the tall, middle-aged man.
"Greeting teacher." He quickly greeted Elder Dewey without showing any excessive reaction. Elder Dewey smiled as he nodded, "You've finally arrived."
However, their short interaction astounded the others. The middle-aged man asked, "He's your new disciple, Elder Dewey?"
However, Elder Dewey shook his head as he replied, "No, Elder Roscoe. George is not my official disciple but a student. I don't dare take such a talented disciple and embarrass myself."
He was telling the truth, but in other elders' ears, these words were akin to bragging since they clearly did not believe him at all.
At this moment, the gray-haired old man in Elder Roscoe's group suddenly said, "I've heard about the death of your official disciple, Elder Dewey. You have my condolences."
Elder Dewey's expression fell slightly, but he still nodded, "Thank you for your kind words, Elder Emmett. " A strange light flashed past Elder Roscoe's eyes before it vanished as quickly as it appeared. "I also heard about it, and it seems the killer is still at large. If you need anything from me, don't hesitate to ask, Elder Dewey."
"I won't." Elder Dewey stiffly replied.
Even Marguerite's expression was somewhat unnatural at this moment since they were discussing John, not to mention she was suppressing herself not to flare up for some reason. "Why are you all doing by discussing such a thing in front of juniors? Since this little boy has been here with a Forger Elder Apportionment Token. Shouldn't you be taking him to Apportionment Trial?" The middle-aged woman, Elder Norma, coldly interfered as she seemed also hostile to Elder Roscoe's group.
But she seemed to be someone with a sense of duty and didn't want to show such a sight in front of Juniors. After all, as sect elders, they should be an upright example in front of Juniors, not like quibbling children.
Ace could only sigh secretly, as he knew Elder Dewey's enemies were his enemies now, and he couldn't do anything about it. Nonetheless, he didn't mean he was afraid; as long as he entered the sect, things would be quite interesting.
Although Ace didn't know if he was imagining it, he was sure that someone had happened that made these elders' emotions run wild.
"Be careful; things are not going as planned!"
Ace was then startled when Elder Dewey's voice suddenly rang directly into his ears as he was whispering. He looked towards Elder Dewey in astonishment, and the latter's expression was stiff and helpless.
Ace was instantly vigilant and wondered what had happened, but alas, he knew asking Elder Dewey was impossible at this moment, and running away was even more impossible.
'Clam down, they shouldn't know who I am, and it's impossible. But if things look grim, I'll just run away. It's not like they can stop me.' Ace quickly calmed down.
At this moment, Elder Norma waved her hand, and Ace felt an invisible, gentle force grip him. The next moment, his feet left the ground, and he flew with Elder Norma toward the depth of the sect; she also seemed in a hurry.
The other elders glanced at each other before quickly following them. They knew this matter was huge and wanted to witness it with their own eyes.

Meanwhile, in the core area,
"You just couldn't help yourself, huh?" The Guardian Spirit annoyingly muttered as the scene in the mirror of George being taken towards the depth of the outer core was playing.
The scholarly man chuckled as he watched with great interest, "If he's special, then only the Forger Abyss can measure his true capabilities! If he can't even pass the first level, then he's not worthy of being my future disciple!"
