His knees thumped loudly against the ground as he bowed down, his voice incomparably sincere.
August’s brows couldn’t help but twitch slightly.
Ever since he entered closed-door cultivation, he hadn’t meddled in the affairs of the mortal world for several decades.
During these several decades, he had only summoned Lance once every three years to inquire about the Nolan family’s current situation then.
Now, he suddenly heard that a daughter of the Nolan family had joined forces with foreign enemies to destroy the family.
What did this mean?
Just the fact that this person wanted to rebel against the family was enough to make him angry.
Had she forgotten who he was?
He was the Nolan family’s only surviving elder since hundreds of years ago. As an ancestor-level existence, he had guarded the Nolan family for generations.
However, this woman wanted to unite with a fourth-tier mage to destroy the Nolan family.
How could she not take him, the grand ancestor, seriously?!
As an elder, how could he not be angry that he was ignored by a junior who was several times younger than him?
“It seems that I’ve been in closed-door cultivation for many years and did not care about the affairs of the mortal world. In the end, the world has forgotten the existence of our old generation,” August could not help but say coldly.
“Heh, it seems that I should come out of seclusion today and let those ignorant juniors know the power of our Nolan family in the past.”
After saying that, August suddenly turned to look at Lance in front of him. “Lance, you said that the traitor of the family has joined forces with a fourth-tier mage?”
Lancaster lowered his head and hurriedly said, “That’s right!”
“Oh? Then you might as well take a look at how many levels of power I have now!” August’s voice was raised. Without being visible, a pure magical aura had already been released from his body.
Just as the aura was released, Lance could not help but stammer in shock, “T-this is… This is the level of a peak fourth-tier mage!”
Beside him, Bruce and Mycroft’s expressions shrank at the same time as they looked up at their ancestor in disbelief.
A peak fourth-tier mage?
They only knew that their ancestor had been in closed-door cultivation for many years and had broken through the limit of his lifespan. When he was in closed-door cultivation, he was already at the peak of a third-tier mage.
Now, decades had passed. They had thought that their ancestor had already broken through from the third-tier and advanced to the fourth-tier. They had also thought that not only had their ancestor broken through to the fourth-tier, but he had not come out of closed-door cultivation for the past few decades. They assumed that he was most likely consolidating his tyrannical strength as a fourth-tier mage.
It was not something that they had pondered on too much.
Not only had their ancestor broken through to the fourth-tier, but his strength had also continued to rise while he was in seclusion. Now, he had already reached the peak of a fourth-tier mage.
The peak of the fourth-tier!
This was a realm that they would not be able to reach in their entire lives.
Their grand ancestor had only been able to do it because he had been in seclusion for decades.
With such a terrifying cultivation base, wouldn’t it be enough to kill the kid who was by Christina’s side?
At this moment, the three people present naturally understood that with their grand ancestor, who was at the fourth-tier peak, solving the matter would naturally be easy.
The matter of dealing with external enemies was not a worry any longer.
On the other side, August, who had already stood up indifferently, also snorted coldly as he looked at the three people in front of him and reprimanded them.
“Lance, I believe that other than me, you’re the one with the greatest seniority in the Nolan family.”
Hearing his ancestor’s reprimanding him for some unknown reason, Lancaster was immediately startled as he hurriedly opened his mouth and said, “I’m here to rectify the situation!”
Looking at Lance’s servile manner, August swept a glance before continuing to reprimand him.
“This time, there’s an external enemy invasion. I’ve stepped forward to settle it for you. What if I’m no longer here?”
Having said that, August looked at Lance coldly. Not giving him the chance to speak, he continued in a cold manner.
“As the head of the Nolan family, you’ve reported to me quite a number of times in the past few years that there are very few talents in the younger generation of the family. Your status is quite low. If you have the chance to report to me about the foreign enemies and beg me to take action, why don’t you focus on nurturing the younger generation?
“The foundation of a family’s strength lies in its younger generation. If the young are strong, then the family is strong! If every member of our Nolan clan is talented in cultivation, they can be considered pillars of the family. If that were the case, why would an old man like me need to take action in such matters!”
His voice rang out repeatedly, causing Lance’s face to turn red as he heard all this.
That’s right. Ever since he had reported to the grand ancestor a few years ago about the strength of the younger generation in the family, August’s expression had never seemed hopeful since the beginning.
It wasn’t hard to see.
As the Nolan family’s grand ancestor, although August usually didn’t ask about family matters, he was still extremely worried and concerned about the family’s long-term development as well as their cultivation problem!
Even the last time when he came to report on the recent situation, he could already see that August had the intention of personally leading a disciple.
Thinking about this, a glint flashed through Lance’s eyes and he immediately used this opportunity to talk about another matter to August.
“What the grand ancestor reprimanded me on is true! Faced with such a huge problem, I naturally do not dare to neglect it. In the past few days, I’ve finally brought the elders to think of a solution.”
“Oh, what solution?” Hearing this, August raised his eyebrows and looked at Lance.
