"Miss Sharon sent me a text and said that about a hundred people from the Lambert family came to Middle Province, asking about us even going to their house for information. She suggested that we change our phone numbers so that we can be much safer," announced Selena as she eyed her phone.
"Yes, we'll have to change our phone numbers. What do we do if we don't change and they manage to find us?" Fiona was startled when she heard the news and was afraid that they would come looking for them.
Andrew agreed and added, "It’s best if everybody ceases contact with our other relatives after we change our numbers. They might end up telling who we are and
where we’re staying—it’ll be hell to get through!"
Old Master Taylor sighed. After all, those were also members of the Taylor family. Although they chose to leave heartlessly, they never wanted anything to happen to the other relatives nor did they want to stop contacting them.
Fane, on the other hand, nonchalantly spoke, "Truthfully, I don't think that it'd be a big deal if we change our numbers or not. I’m not really afraid of this Lambert family, especially now that we've got so many masters here with us. Both King of War Celestino and Goddess of War Lana are with us, too.
"I chose to hide from them and come here for another reason. Apart from that, I didn’t want to involve myself with the troubles of the Lambert family!" "You can continue your boasting. Just tell the truth about how you're not confident! How can you say that you don't want to involve yourself in the mess? What's so good about us running to such a faraway place? I rather stay in the Middle Province; life was good there!" Fiona rolled her eyes a t Fane and felt that Fane was boasting.
"Mother, there are many advantages in moving here!" Fane smiled and explained," Did you notice that this city is always veiled by clouds and mist? This city is also known as the City of Martial Arts, and there are many masters here. What I'm trying to say here is that this city is located at a special geographical location. People who work in this city have a longer lifespan, and the prosperity of such a big city is incomparable to Middle Province!" "This city can make people live several years longer? Are you lying to me?" Fiona was suspicious of what Fane was saying.
Fane chuckled at her suspicion as he commented, "Mother-in-law, there are many things in this world that are unexplainable. For example, grandfather's luminous pearl. Now that he’s placed it by his bedside while he sleeps, don’t you see that the old master's body is much healthier than before? He doesn't get sick s o easily, and the probability of him getting the flu has been reduced as well!"
"Haha! This is true. I don't get the flu so easily, and my appetite and spirit have gotten better as well. I’m enjoying my meals better, and it seems that this luminous pearl Fane gifted to me is an incredibly special item!" Old Master Taylor chuckled heartily. "Since Fane said that this is a good place, then it must be so.
Let's see if I can live till I'm a hundred years old."
Fiona momentarily went silent at that, thinking things through before she replied, "I don't know if you can live that long, but I insist that everyone changes their numbers tomorrow to be safe. Got it?"
