Meldrick turned his gaze toward Thomas and Daniel before delivering his message. "Sofia brought her man back. His name is Severin
Daniel's eyes widened upon hearing that, and he responded angrily, "What is the meaning of this?
Didn't Birk inform Sofia that we'll destroy their sect unless she marries me within the next few days?"
In truth, the members of the Unbeaten Wind Sect had no actual intention of going against the
Stormy Moon Sect. They believed that Birk would eventually consent to the marriage if they exerted some pressure on him. The result they had been aiming for was to foster closer relations between the two sects and bolster their collective strength. Sofia did eventually return, but she
returned with a man.
Thomas also clenched his fists and muttered. "Birk is being very disrespectful toward the
Unbeaten Wind Sect."
Meldrick secretly delighted in satisfaction as he observed the father-son duo's growing rage and
the heightened emotions among their elders.
He stepped forward and bowed before saying, "I feel bad for your son too. That guy she brought back is an unaffiliated practitioner, the likes of which are blatantly unsuitable for Miss Sofia. She ought to be marrying someone like your son."
Daniel immediately asked, "Do you genuinely believe that Sofia should marry me?"
Meldrick responded without hesitation, "Absolutely. Only someone of your stature would be fit for Miss Sofia. I came here to relay this information to you for your benefit and the sake of Miss
Sofia's future."
Thomas remained silent. He observed Meldrick intently with a frown, believing that Meldrick would have some form of ulterior motive. After all, if the Stormy Moon Sect were to learn of Meldrick's actions, his life might be in jeopardy.
After some brief thought, Thomas asked, "Do you seek some form of compensation? Why else
would a protector commit an act of betrayal against his sect?"
Meldrick's heart skipped a beat. He had not expected Thomas to be so astute. Simply saying that he felt bad for Thomas's son would hardly be enough to convince them of the fact.

After a moment of reflection, he decided to take a more assertive stance. With a bow, Meldrick said, "I firmly believe that there is a limitless future at the Unbeaten Wind Sect. It holds more promise than the Stormy Moon Sect. If the Stormy Moon Sect Master continues on the path that they're on, then it's almost akin to self-destruction. My attainment isn't particularly high, but I am a level four warrior emperor. I am willing to pledge my allegiance to the Unbeaten Wind Sect and serve you, Mister Thomas'
Thomas was elated As it turned out, Meldrick must have been able to discern the strength of the Unbeaten Wind Sect and feared that the two sects might go to war. In such an event, the Stormy Moon Sect would be powerless to resist, and he would have to surrender in the end. By taking the initiative to jump ship first, he might be expecting certain benefits from the Unbeaten Wind Sect.
Although Thomas held treacherous individuals with some measure of contempt, the surrendering
of a level four warrior emperor was no small matter. Such an individual should not simply be refused entry into their sect, particularly amid escalating tensions between the two sects. Thomas smiled subtly and said. "While your attainment level as a level four warrior emperor might not qualify you to become an elder in our sect, your voluntary surrender and the information you've brought are much appreciated. How about you assume the role of an elder within our sect from today onward? I will accord you the privileges that come with such a
position. Consider this a form of special recognition for your acis."
Upon hearing that he would immediately be appointed as an elder, Meldrick felt ecstatic and expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for promoting me to this position, sir. I solemnly vow that I will train diligently to serve the sect in the future."
