Upon hearing that, Jared was instantly stunned. Celestial technique legacy?
Just as Jared was momentarily stunned, the two people from the Mueller family tensed up. “Who are you? Why do you look exactly like Ms. Selma?”
In a moment of distraction, Jared inadvertently revealed his aura. Although he could mimic Selma’s appearance, he was unable to replicate Selma’s aura.
Moreover, those from the Mueller family who were with Selma would undoubtedly be very familiar with Selma’s aura.
Upon realizing he had been discovered, Jared saw no further need for his disguise. Instantly, he reverted back to his true form.
“It’s you?” Upon recognizing Jared, the two individuals from the Mueller family instantly glared at him with hostility. Without a moment’s hesitation, they launched an attack on Jared.
Jared brandished his Dragonslayer Sword, and with a swift stroke, he forced the two members of the Mueller family to retreat.
When Jared’s aura was revealed, it immediately caught the attention of Selma in the main hall.
“To think that brat is here…” Selma frowned, and in an instant, she vanished from the main hall.
Upon seeing Jared engaged in a fight with two members of the Mueller family, Selma bellowed, “You’ve got some nerve, brat, to actually follow us here.”
Upon turning his head, Jared saw Selma and immediately took off running.
Selma wasn’t about to let that opportunity slip away. She directed her words to the two members of the Mueller family. “Hold the fort here. I’m going to take care of that brat.”
Selma chased after Jared.
However, just as Selma was chasing after Jared, a figure swiftly entered the main hall.
The members of the Mueller family who were stationed in the main hall were taken aback when they saw someone entering. To their surprise, it was Jared who had walked in.
Before they could think twice, they lunged directly at Jared.
They were adamant not to let Jared disrupt Leighton’s learning. Jared had no desire to engage in battle and instead, he turned and ran toward the exit of the main hall.
The two guards from the Mueller family, stationed outside, were utterly baffled when they saw Jared bolting out of the main hall.
They clearly saw Selma chasing after Jared, yet there Jared was, emerging from the main hall again.
However, having seen Jared, they simply couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
The two individuals instantly made a move against Jared.
Just as they were about to confront Jared in the courtyard of the mansion, another Jared suddenly appeared in the main hall.
Jared gazed at the statue before him and at Leighton, who was seated in front of it. He knew for certain that Leighton was engrossed in learning the celestial technique legacy.
Though Jared was extremely curious to investigate what kind of celestial technique legacy was contained within the statue, he simply didn’t have the time.
His shadow clone simply couldn’t hold up for long.
With a swift wave of his hand, Jared instantly drew the statue toward him. Originally, Jared wanted to place the statue inside his storage ring, but he soon discovered that the statue wouldn’t fit.
That left Jared utterly dumbfounded.
After all, the storage ring had the capacity to hold everything in the vast world, except for living people. Even demon beasts could reside within the confines of the ring.
Thus, it was rather odd that the statue couldn’t be stored in the storage ring.
However, Jared simply didn’t have the time to ponder. He could only escape hastily, dragging the statue with one hand.
When the connection between Leighton and the statue was severed, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning deathly pale.
“Brat, return my statue!” Upon seeing Jared snatch away the statue, Leighton instantly went after him like a madman.
Immediately after, he unleashed several Blazing Palms, each fiery blaze lunging toward Jared.
Jared skillfully used Blazing Stride, evading the Flaming Palm and making a swift escape.
Leighton bellowed, “Quick, after him. He’s stolen the statue.”
The few members of the Mueller family who were originally engaged in a fight with Jared suddenly discovered that Jared had vanished into thin air.
Following that, they heard Leighton’s loud outcry. The members of the Mueller family were utterly bewildered, but they still pursued the Jared they saw.
Meanwhile, Selma was still fervently pursuing her Jared.
