“There’s only this one.”

“Thank you.”

After getting a definite answer, Karuman had no choice but to go forward and knock on the door.

The door opened quickly. A servant opened the door and asked, “Who are you? What’s the matter?”

Karuman said, “Please inform the head of the family. My name is Karuman, and I have come on Old Master’s orders.”

The servant looked at Karuman suspiciously and sized him up before saying dryly, “Wait here.”

“…” Karuman suppressed his anger and reminded himself that this was his master’s family. He must not be angry, he must not be angry!

At the same time, in Norton’s room, Ron had already told Norton that Karuman was coming over. Just as Ron had finished speaking, a servant came over to report that a person claiming to be Karuman had arrived outside and was waiting at the door. Norton was very happy to hear this. Since he was the servant of the Old Ancestor, he naturally could not delay. He immediately went out with Ron to welcome him.

After he had opened the door, he saw a gray-robed old man. Norton was only a level-1 Great Mage. He was worlds apart from Karuman, so he naturally could not tell the depths of the other party’s strength. In his eyes, the other party was just an ordinary old man. However, since he was the Old Ancestor’s servant and he had specially instructed him to treat him well, he was definitely not an ordinary person. If he could not even tell the other party’s strength, then it must be that the other party’s strength far surpassed his. Thinking of this, Norton dared not be slack and hurriedly said, “You must be Old Mr Karuman. I am Norton Nicholas, the current head of the Nicholas family clan. Welcome.”

While Norton was observing Karuman, Karuman was also checking on him.

A level-1 Great Mage; his cultivation base can be completely disregarded. The other young man does not look even 20 years old, but he is already a level-6 Great Mage. To have such a cultivation base at such a young age, he is definitely a genius. Even many top students from the magic academies rarely have such achievements. As expected of the family of Master, they are indeed something.

After hearing Norton’s words, although the other party’s strength was very weak, he was still the family head, he had no choice but to bow and greet him, “Karuman greets the Family Head!”

“Old Mr. Karuman, there’s no need for formalities. Please come in.” Norton did not dare to let such a great master, whose depths of strength he could not see, bow. He quickly stopped him and invited him in.

After entering the Nicholas family, Karuman kept observing the entire family. The more he looked at them, the more disappointed he became. The family was too lousy. When he was outside, he had thought that there was another world inside, but now, he was a little disappointed.

After they had reached the reception hall, Norton served the best fragrant tea and greeted him politely. He said, “Old Mr. Karuman, I have already gotten someone to prepare a room for you. You have just arrived at our house, you should take a good rest for a few days.”

“There’s no need. I’ll just guard the ancestral hall according to Master’s instructions.”

“This…” Norton hesitated for a moment, but then remembered that the Old Ancestor lived in the ancestral hall, so it was normal for him to stay in the ancestral hall to serve the Old Ancestor. He said,”Alright.” Hence, the Nicholas family clan had an additional gatekeeper for the ancestral hall.

Regarding Karuman’s arrival, no one in the Nicholas family clan paid attention to him. In fact, Romo had done this deliberately. Romo did not want the descendants of the Nicholas family clan to know that there was a Great Archmage protecting them in the family. If this happened, many of them might lose their drive to improve. This would not be beneficial to their growth, and it was better to have a sense of crisis. Romo had even warned Ron not to probe into Karuman’s past and to just treat him as an ordinary servant.

As for Karuman, Romo’s request for him was even simpler. He just had to be a servant in the ancestral hall to guard the ancestral hall and also to protect the safety of the Nicholas family clan. The request for protection was very simple. He would only intervene when the descendants of the Nicholas family clan were in danger. Other times, he did not have to care.

After staying for two days, Karuman sat at the door of the ancestral hall feeling bored as he watched the Nicholas family members busying themselves. He had mixed feelings. His master’s family clan was too down and out. Apart from the young man whom he had met on the first day who was not bad, the cultivation base of the others was unbearable to look at. His master was so powerful, just a casual pointer from him should have enabled them to be more than that. Why was this happening?

Could it be that this run-down family clan is just an unappreciated side branch of Master? If I’m sent to this place, won’t it be equivalent to being abandoned by Master? Sigh, turning from a free person to a servant is already very tragic, and now, I’m even abandoned by Master. This is even more tragic! It looks like I must have done too many bad things previously. This is my retribution! I must do good things in the future, otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to rise up in this lifetime.

Oh right, he had not seen his master for two days. Since his master was not here and this branch family of his master was not valued, then he could…

“Hmph ~ ~ ~”

At this moment, a familiar cold snort sounded, and then Karuman felt an unbearable pain from the depths of his soul, causing him to instantly fall to the ground in pain. In just an instant, cold sweat had drenched his shirt.

“Master… have mercy…,” he gritted his teeth and begged as he endured the excruciating pain that was unbearable for an ordinary person.

After he had finished speaking, the intense pain in his soul suddenly vanished. He panted heavily, his heart full of fear and lingering dread. He looked around carefully. His master was actually nearby. Otherwise, he would not have immediately discovered his little thought and even punished him immediately. He swore that it was indeed just a little thought. He was only thinking about it.. Before the servant imprint in his soul had been removed, he would definitely not dare to do anything to betray his master.
