However, after the incident where Logan Bennett went to great lengths to protect Ethan Brooks, this seventh young master of the Marquis Wu Wei’s household—previously unknown throughout the entire capital—will see his status undergo a tremendous and earth-shaking transformation. Before Logan Bennett makes his true stance clear, even the second prince Ryan Bennett, who wields overwhelming power among the younger generation of Great Qi, will have to think twice before making a move against him.

“The identity of being ‘Logan Bennett’s friend’ is almost equivalent to having a talisman for safe survival in the capital.”

“Sir Ethan Brooks.”

Logan Bennett cupped his hands slightly toward Eric Reed.

Ethan Brooks nodded at him. “Thank you for your help in resolving the situation, sir.” With that, he simply sat down, showing no intention of continuing the conversation with Logan Bennett, the renowned Sword Saint.

Seeing this attitude, not only were those secretly observing a little taken aback, but even Logan Bennett himself, one of the parties involved, was somewhat surprised!

However, his temperament and self-cultivation were far beyond those of ordinary people. He quickly put away that trace of surprise. Seeing that Ethan Brooks had no intention of continuing the conversation, he did not linger or press further. He cupped his hands and said, “Since the matter is settled, I won’t disturb you any longer, Sir Ethan Brooks. If you have time in the future, perhaps we can discuss some matters of cultivation together.”

Ethan Brooks smiled lightly and nodded.

Seeing that Logan Bennett really seemed about to leave, Ivy Foster, who was sitting nearby, could not sit still. To establish a connection with the Sword Saint Logan Bennett was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If she didn’t seize it, who knew if, once Logan Bennett reached the pinnacle of alchemy, he would still pay any attention to ordinary people like them.

With this in mind, Ivy Foster immediately said, “If Sir Logan Bennett is willing to offer guidance to Ethan Brooks in the path of cultivation, it is naturally his honor. If you are so inclined, you are welcome to visit our Marquis Wu Wei’s residence at any time. My husband and I will certainly await your esteemed arrival at the residence!”

“Husband and wife…”

Lily Foster muttered these four words under her breath, sneaking a surprised glance at her mistress! This was the first time since her mistress married the seventh young master that she had ever uttered the word “husband and wife.”

“This…” Logan Bennett looked at Ethan Brooks. “I wonder if it would be an inconvenience for you, Sir Ethan Brooks?”

“If Sir Logan Bennett is willing to come, we would be delighted, not troubled at all.” As she spoke, Ivy Foster was already secretly signaling to Lily Foster, who stood beside Ethan Brooks!

These two, mistress and maid, had been together for so many years that their tacit understanding far surpassed that of ordinary people. With just a glance, Lily Foster immediately understood the message her mistress was conveying, and quietly tugged at Ethan Brooks’s sleeve, signaling him to respond quickly.

Seeing the two of them like this, Ethan Brooks found it rather amusing. Shaking his head slightly in secret, he nevertheless stood up. Under the earnest gazes of the two women, he formally cupped his hands and said, “I have long heard of the Sword Saint’s great name. If Sir Logan Bennett has time to visit the remote place where I reside, you are most welcome.”

Upon hearing this, Logan Bennett’s face showed a faint smile. “In that case, I shall trouble you in the future.”

At this moment, a guard came over and quietly reported that His Majesty the Emperor had arrived and personally invited him to a banquet in the inner court. Naturally, he could not linger here chatting with Ethan Brooks any longer. After taking his leave, he headed straight for the inner court.

Seeing that things had gone smoothly, a smile finally appeared on Ivy Foster’s face, which had been cold ever since the matter with the second prince and Princess Qingping. Now that Ethan Brooks had established a connection with Logan Bennett, both he and the Marquis Wu Wei’s household behind him would see their status rise immediately, and she herself would benefit as well.

At the very least, as long as relations between the two sides remained friendly, those idle rumors outside would no longer spread!

Glancing at Ethan Brooks, who had sat down again and seemed lost in thought, Ivy Foster couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly.

“What is it about him that attracts the Sword Saint Logan Bennett so much!? His strength!? When he killed Adam Wright, his speed in seizing, drawing, and striking with the sword was incredibly fast, but that doesn’t prove much. Even a fifth-level Qi Dao cultivator who has practiced these basic moves for years could do the same, not to mention he struck suddenly and caught Adam Wright off guard… After all, when facing that sudden sword from David Clark, he didn’t even have time to use basic defensive techniques, clearly unable to react to David Clark’s attack… So even if he’s hiding his strength, at most he’s at the sixth, or at best the seventh level of Qi Dao…”

If Ethan Brooks had been able to dodge when that sword was only a finger’s breadth away, she simply wouldn’t believe it…

Even the Sword Saint Logan Bennett, a supreme expert at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Dao, probably couldn’t claim to be able to dodge David Clark’s sword at such close range.

But if it’s not because of his strength, then on what basis has he earned the appreciation of Logan Bennett, a peak ninth-level Qi Dao master?

After giving Ethan Brooks a deep look, Ivy Foster had already made up her mind.
