100- Fearless
Several disciples gasped at his response. Even the anger on Elder Vokah's face was unbearable at this point.Elder Ombre instantly stood up. The look on his face was enough to melt ice."Do you understand the seriousness of this matter, boy? The Great Third Master was seen leaving your quarters in tears. Won't you explain your connection to her! We demand to know the reason behind her visit."Thaddeus remained absolutely calm."That is something you should ask the Third Master."Elder Ombre expression darkened slightly."Watch your words. You are speaking before the elders.""I'm aware of that, Elder. But I cannot explain another person's feelings on their behalf." Thaddeus answered again, leaving Elder Ombre stunned. His answer also left several disciples exchanging surprised looks. Even Elder Vokah was struggling to contain his anger.Elder Vokah studied him for a moment, clearly annoyed."Are you saying you have no idea why the Third Master was upset?"Thaddeus paused briefly."I

Reece nodded and held Mehek's other hand" Me too but we have to do this, we can't give up now."He said.Castle chuckled and hugged him tighter, and the others did the same. Mehek looked at their faces, and his worried expression gradually softened. He slowly smiled before laughing out."You are just as scared as I am, yet you're the ones comforting me." He shook his head, smiling." Of course," Kvera replied with a laugh. "Who else is going to comfort us if we start crying too?" She said and they burst into laughter among themselves.Thaddeus smiled at the warm sight and they laughed back at him.He sighed peacefully and glanced at the sun. It was already high in the sky, meaning they had spent longer than expected at the meeting and had to leave soon for the inner assembly.He turned to them." We have to leave now but let me make one thing clear" "Pay attention to what happens after you've left. If one group starts confronting another, I want to know. If an elder calls a disciple
98- the plan
Castle nodded, though his expression grew more serious. "Some of those disciples have known me for a long time. If they discover I'm the one spreading these rumours, I could lose their trust." " Yes.." Jaren nodded in agreement.Thaddeus looked at them."Then don't give them a reason to suspect you. You're not going to accuse anyone. You're only repeating something that fits what they're already discussing."Castle considered his words before nodding again."Understood. I'll be careful." " I have immense faith in you" Thaddeus smiled before turning to the rest of the group " You are all going to do the same thing. " The disciples kept mute and listened." You don't have to approach them to start an argument. Wait until they're already discussing something they're unhappy about, then add a piece of information that gives them another reason to be angry." He said and looked at the reaction on their faces and his gaze stopped on Erin.Erin looked at him thoughtfully."Can you give us
97- The rumors
Soon morning came, but the events of the previous night had already become the main topic of discussion among the disciples.In the main courtyard, a small group of inner disciples had gathered around a stone table, speaking in low voices as they prepared for their morning training session."Did you hear what happened last night?" one of them asked."Hear what?" Another answered, turning another page of the Qi leaflet he was reading." The legendary Third Master was seen leaving Senior Brother Rael's quarters." He said and his companions turned to look at him. "Are you sure it was her?" One asked, closing his leaflet." Of course, I wouldn't be talking about it if I wasn't sure. We both saw her with our eyes. She ran out of Senior Brother Rael's quarters without even wearing her veil." The disciple answered, pointing to his friend."Wait, what? The Third Master was in Rael's quarters?"another asked, giving full attention."That's what I'm telling you!" The disciple leaned closer, low
96- the prophecy
Iris wiped her tears and looked at him." Please..." Thaddeus begged.Iris looked away for a moment.She had seen the vision this morning. It wasn't clear, but enough to set her soul on fire and leave her restless.She looked into his eyes, wondering how to tell him.In the vision, she saw inner disciples gathered among different places in the Sect, whispering strange words to huge crowds with Rael in the center of it all. Their faces were filled with suspicion and anger as they went on and on to share what she sensed to be harmful words. What made it more strange to her was how anyone who heard those words reacted strangely and violently like they were possessed.She couldn't make out everything they said but she watched as the words traveled among them, reaching Elders, mages and every individual in the Sect.Then suddenly the vision changed and the sky turned black and violent with raging thunder.Everywhere she turned to was littered with blood. The sight was horrific and she scr

Thaddeus smiled"Every major group in this sect has its own interests. Some compete for cultivation resources, some fight for the favor of particular elders and many are only allies because they believe working together benefits them." He said and stared at Kova who was watching him quietly."What would happen if those groups began questioning one another? What if the other groups that had been competing peacefully suddenly began accusing each other of dishonest dealings?" He asked him."They would start fighting," Kova answered."Or waste their time trying to prove the other side was lying," Lysa added."Exactly." Thaddeus stopped walking and smiled."And while they're busy arguing, we continue cultivating, completing missions, and building our own reputation. We would have scaled high up on the ladder before they realize anything." The disciples nodded and began exchanging excited glances among themselves.Erin turned to him with a long face."But how do we make that happen? Do you
