"Great Masters?"
"Great Masters!"
When Nostradamus and Genie Sylas heard this title, both of them showed grandmother-like smiles at the same time.
Ethan took the chance to say, "Nini, it's okay."
"Actually, I think this is even better. After all, from now on, you'll be the disciple-granddaughter of the two Great Masters. I'm sure the two Great Masters will definitely take good care of you. If there's anything you don't understand in the future, you can also ask the Great Masters for advice."
"Really?"
Nini looked up at the two of them. There was a hint of pleading in her eyes.
This time, the two of them became even less able to harden their hearts and take back the things they gave Nini, much less settle accounts with her.
"Really! Really!"
Genie Sylas showed an auntie-like smile and said, "From now on, you're my granddaughter. If I don't dote on you, who else would I dote on? That brat Ethan?"
"Forget it! Forget it! Let those things count as gifts from Great Master to disciple-granddaughter," Nostradamus had already somewhat realized he might have been tricked, but he couldn't exactly argue with a junior, so he could only say helplessly, "Anyway, if there's anything you don't understand in the future, come ask me. Don't be shy, and don't mind that brat! If he dares bully you, I'll beat him up for you!"
Ethan couldn't hold back anymore and argued from the side, "Hey! I'm her master after all. Can't you save me a little face?"
"Pah!"
"Shut up! I'll settle this with you later!"
The two Archmages glared at Ethan at the same time.
Ethan stopped while he was ahead, "Then Nini, how about Great Master teaches you how to control spiritual power now?"
"Right!", Genie Sylas also joined in, "Your Second Great Master can also teach you how to use spiritual power to its fullest. I even have several special chants here, each corresponding to combat, conservation, expansion, recovery, and so on…"
"Damn! Why have you never taught me any of this?", Ethan instantly became unhappy, "You two are my masters too, alright? How can you be like this?"
"This is called loving the next generation more. What do you know!"
The two spoke in unison and looked down on him.
Ethan rolled his eyes. If he switched places with Nini right now, let's see whether you'd still love the next generation more.
"Two Great Masters, I'm really sorry," Tears filled Nini's eyes, but this time it was genuine, "Today… I want to stay here and spend some time with my sister."
Nostradamus could only helplessly say, "Th… then alright."
"It's okay, teaching tomorrow is fine too. Even if you want to learn a few days later, that's fine," Genie Sylas immediately said, "Anyway, we'll just follow Nini's schedule."
"Thank you, two Great Masters!"
Nini deeply bowed to the two of them.
Nostradamus was just about to leave when he saw Ethan still sneaking around in the graveyard. He immediately used the Red Thread skill to drag Ethan away and said, "You brat, what are you planning with Nini now? I'm telling you, those things were all given to Nini. Don't even think about them."
"Two Great Masters…"
When Nini saw this, she immediately spoke up to explain for Ethan, "It was Nini who asked Master to stay. There are some things about my sister that Nini wants to ask Master about. Please agree, two Great Masters."
The moment Nana was mentioned, Nini's eyes instantly reddened.
This time she didn't even need to act. It was completely genuine emotion. Especially because it was Nini showing real emotion, the two of them immediately couldn't handle it anymore.
"A… agreed!"
"Of course we agree. What's there to disagree with?", Genie Sylas immediately smiled and said, "I'm not like some old ghost. The girl already said this much, yet he's still putting on airs. What's there to act for."
"That's enough!", Nostradamus glared at Genie Sylas and said, "I don't want to argue with you! This is a graveyard. Arguing here is disrespectful to the dead."
"Like I want to argue with you, pah!"
The two claimed they weren't arguing while noisily bickering as they left.
After the two had completely left, Nini finally deeply bowed toward Ethan and said, "Thank you, Lord Ethan, for finding a place where my sister can rest in peace."
"From now on, Nini belongs to you. As long as Lord Ethan wishes it, even if you tell Nini to die, Nini won't refuse."
"But Nini only asks Lord Ethan that even if one day Nini dies unexpectedly…"
"Nini hopes Sister can still stay here."
"I promise you," Ethan nodded and said, "As long as you don't die because you betrayed me, I can promise that your sister can stay here forever, and I'll bury you here too."
"Thank you, Lord Ethan."
Nini gratefully knelt on the ground and sincerely offered the two backpacks with both hands.
Ethan looked down at Nini from above and said, "That Nolan who got injured by Ground Needle Grass before, you deliberately lured him into taking you hostage, right?"
"I don't dare hide it from Lord Ethan. Yes!", Nini admitted without hesitation, "He was lusting after my sister, and during this trip, he deliberately kept all the loot for himself because he wanted to take all the credit."
"That way, after we returned, my sister and I would lose our chance to enter the inner sect because our contribution points would be too low."
"Meanwhile, Nolan would use this chance to enter the inner sect."
"Once he became an inner sect disciple, he would definitely use his authority to threaten my sister, or threaten me even more."
"Anyway…"
"Nolan was the type who wouldn't stop until he got what he wanted, so I had to get rid of him."
"Please forgive me, Lord Ethan "
"So that's how it is," Ethan was very satisfied with Nini's honesty, "If you had refused to admit it just now and kept hiding things, then although I wouldn't expose you directly, you should forget about earning my trust again."
"You're very smart, and you know how to seize the right timing. I appreciate that, because I also like dealing with smart people."
"But at the same time, I also have one requirement for you."
"You are not allowed to play tricks on me."
"Please rest assured, Lord Ethan. Nini wouldn't dare," Nini continued expressing her loyalty.
Only then did Ethan take the two backpacks and help her up, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Lord Ethan."
Ethan asked again, "Are you unhappy that I took the things the two Archmages gave you?"
"Reporting to Lord Ethan, these things were originally Lord Ethan's anyway," Nini respectfully said, "If Lord Ethan hadn't saved me, Nini probably wouldn't even have her life anymore, much less external possessions."
"I'm very satisfied that you understand it this way."
Ethan took several pieces of equipment he didn't already have from the backpacks, along with some materials Nini couldn't use anyway.
As for the remaining ordinary mage equipment, plus healing items, mana recovery items, Return City Scrolls, and things like that, he left them all to Nini and said, "These are for you. Equip them for now."
