The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 1988

'Well, I think it's time that I accept the result. Besides, it's not too bad. Also, I can visit them from time to time, since the schools are just close to each other as Elder Allen had mentioned, ' thought Austin to himself.

Austin heaved a deep sigh, feeling less down as he pondered more about it.

Besides, everyone, including Violet and the gnome, would have to go their own ways and face their own fates. They needed to learn how to fight for themselves for no one could stay around him forever.

Like what the old man in grey had told him a while ago, the way he was going to take would not be suitable for Caroline, Violet, the gnome, and even the rest of his friends. This would, perhaps, be a great chance for them to find their own ways and tap into their own martial capabilities.

Everyone was suddenly startled by a loud announcement.

"Listen, everyone! All the new disciples of the Black Tortoise School must come here now and rally. Get ready for we will leave for the Black Tortoise School in the Middle Pilgrim Land, where you will start a new life as cultivators," said Elder Barton aloud.

All the new disciples of the Black Tortoise School was surprised at the sudden departure.

When Elder Barton noticed their hesitation, he didn't think twice to shout once more, "Right now!"

The cluster of disciples in front of him turned cold and even more hesitant.

Most of them, if not all, had planned to go back to their own sects or clans to bid their goodbyes for they would be gone for quite a long time.

However, Elder Barton wasn't taking any of their reactions. "If I hear more of this nonsense, I will not hesitate to leave you. As cultivators, we should all know that our number one priority should be to practice our martial arts. We should all be decisive and quick in responding, so stop this nonsense. We leave now! Anyone who wishes to quit can do so now."

Having no other choice but to obey the elder's order, the new disciples under the Black Tortoise School immediately hushed.

Violet, who was delighted a moment ago, turned sad now as she felt reluctant to leave Austin. She hastily walked towards him and said, "Master, to be honest, I don't want to depart with you.

Why don't I just quit from the Black Tortoise School now and go with you as before?"

Violet looked at Austin with sad and longing eyes. She had been by his side for at least seven years now.

She had stayed together with him and had grown up with him ever since she met him.

Having been together for that long established a close relationship between Violet and Austin as if they were siblings.

Therefore, it was natural for Violet to feel this way after knowing that she would have to depart soon.

Hearing this from Violet, Austin gave her a weak smile and said, "Violet, please, don't be silly, and as Elder Barton said, stop talking nonsense.
