Gilmore retrieved several beginner’s martial art manuals from his storage ring and handed them to Kean, saying, “I’m giving you these introductory manuals, Mr. Gould. Follow the techniques, and becoming a cultivator won’t be a tough journey.”
Kean, receiving the manuals from Gilmore, noticed the yellowing covers, a sign of their immense age and rarity.
Excitement and joy were practically bursting from him.
“Mr. Reed, you’re truly a savior in my life!” Kean was so grateful he was practically in tears, almost ready to kneel in thanks.
Gilmore responded, “No need for such courtesies, Mr. Gould.
“Also, if you ever need assistance in the future, feel free to seek out the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect Master, Leland Gardner, on Dragonspire Peak.”
At that, surprise flashed across Kean’s face.
Snowenia was adjacent to the Dragonspire Mountains, so Kean naturally knew of Leland.
Initially, one of the three great realm masters of the Dragonspire Secret Realms, Leland had later, seemingly with the help of a master, monopolized the Dragonspire Secret Realms.
Eventually, with further assistance, he unified the Dragonspire Mountains‘ major sects, establishing Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect.
Could it be that Gilmore was the one who had helped Leland rise within the Dragonspire Mountains‘ major sects?
When he thought of Gilmore’s heaven–defying strength, Kean was almost immediately certain that the person who had helped Leland become the overlord of Dragonspire was Gilmore.
“I’ll remember, Mr. Reed. Should the need arise, I’ll definitely seek out Leland in the Dragonspire Mountains,” Kean promptly replied to him.
With a firm look in his eyes, Gilmore said, “Then this is where we part ways.”
Kean inquired, “Mr. Reed, where will you head after leaving Snowenia?”
“I’m thinking of visiting Glace. It’s not far from Snowenia, so it seems like a good place to explore next,” he answered.
As if recalling something important, Kean advised, “Mr. Reed, be cautious in Glace. That place is under the influence of the Holy Sect Master.”
Gilmore reassured him. “Don’t worry, Mr. Gould. The Holy Sect Master in Glace won’t be able to harm me.”
In truth, Gilmore’s choice to visit Glace wasn’t just for sightseeing. He also intended to confront the Holy Sect Master.
However, Kean believed that, given Gilmore’s strength and the prowess of those accompanying him, even in Glace, the Holy Sect Master would hardly pose a threat.
Kean wanted to be of assistance, so he said, “Mr. Reed, when you go to Glace, let me send you there in a helicopter.”
But Gilmore waved the suggestion away. “No need, Mr. Gould. We’re here to enjoy the journey, not rush through it. We’ll make our way to Glace at a leisurely pace.”
Then, turning to Lilian, Claire, Christine, and the other ladies in the grand hall, he said, “It’s about time. Let’s get going.” Lilian, Claire, and the other women rose from their seats.

Everyone walked out of the grand hall, with Kean and the rest of the Secret Sect members seeing them off.
Once outside the grand hall, Gilmore said to all of them, “No need to see us out further. We’ll say our goodbyes here.”
Kean, the elders, and the seniors also waved goodbye to him. “Have a good trip, Mr. Reed!”
Gilmore, Lilian, and the others were about to leave the Secret Sect.
However, at this moment, a beautiful figure appeared and shouted, “Mr. Reed, are you leaving?”
This beautiful figure was none other than Maria.
Gilmore nodded to her, and said, “Yes, I’m leaving soon. Take care, Ms. Gould.”
Maria looked reluctant to part with him.
Gilmore hadn’t just saved her life; he’d also shown immense kindness to her father.
Moreover, Gilmore had fought a fierce battle with his enemies, which had left a deep impression on her.
In addition, in the past few days, she had accompanied him to travel around Snowenia.
This made her feel even more reluctant to part with him.
She stepped closer to him and said, “Mr. Reed, you are a friend I will never forget. Will I be able to find you in the future?”
With a light smile, Gilmore responded, “Of course. Let’s exchange phone numbers.”
Maria cast a glance at Lilian, Claire, and the others, and asked him, “If you give me your number, aren’t you afraid that your fiancées will get jealous?”
Gilmore chuckled. “Not at all. Even if you were to become my fiancée, they wouldn’t mind.”
This not only eased the tension, but it also brought smiles to the faces of Lilian and the others.
“That’s right. Maria, why don’t you be Gilmore’s fiancee just like us?”
“We promise that we won’t get angry.”
“We will definitely treat you as our best sister.”
Maria blushed furiously when she heard what they said.
Although flustered, Maria retorted somewhat proudly, “I have no interest in becoming his fiancée!”
But her actions betrayed her words when she hesitantly handed over her phone, urging Gilmore, “Quick, tell me your
number.”
Instead of saying it out loud, he took her phone, typed in his number, and returned it to her, saying, “This is my number. If you’re ever in trouble, don’t hesitate to call me.
“Even if I can’t come immediately, I’ll find someone who can help you.”
Maria’s eyes sparkled with gratitude when she heard that, and she nodded solemnly at him.
Then, she saved his number in her contacts.
“Take care.” Gilmore waved his hand at Maria.

Maria waved back and said, “You too.”

And with that, Gilmore, Lilian, Claire, and the others transformed into streaks of light, soaring away toward Magnolia Peak.
As Maria watched Gilmore and the others disappear, a wistful sigh escaped her lips.
At that moment, Kean approached, his voice a whisper only she could hear. “My daughter, have you fallen for Mr. Reed?”
Maria quickly recomposed herself, feigning annoyance. “Father, what are you talking about?”
“You can’t hide it from me,” Kean replied, a gentle smile on his face. “If you truly wish to be with him, you have my blessing.”
Maria’s face was a palette of embarrassment as she said, “It’s not like that, Father. I just treat Mr. Reed as a friend.
“Besides, he already has 11 fiancées. Why would he have room for me?”
Hearing his daughter’s words, Kean knew what to do.
It turned out that his daughter didn’t dare to like Gilmore because he already had 11 fiancées.
Kean said with a smile, “Just now, Mr. Reed’s fiancées agreed to let you be another one of his fiancées.”
“I don’t want to talk about this anymore,” Maria said.
After saying that, she left with a red face.
Looking at his daughter, who was obviously feeling shy and deliberately avoiding him, Kean sighed slightly.
No matter whether his daughter would end up with Gilmore or not, he hoped that she could find a good husband.
