CHAPTER 1821: CHAPTER 1821: ARE YOU WYATT BARNES?!

"Meir Nixon... Lanni... Lanni Barnes... I should have thought of it sooner!"

After receiving confirmation from Augustine, Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath and, after a while, managed to slightly calm his agitated emotions.

It turns out that his cheap old man is actually the ’House Master’ of the Mansion of Azure Clouds!

"This... is just too unbelievable!"

Although it was confirmed, Wyatt still felt a sense of unreality.

His cheap old man is actually the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds!

What is the Mansion of Azure Clouds?

It is one of the top two forces in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!

As a quasi-Third-Rate Power, it far surpasses most quasi-Third-Rate Powers, capable of standing alongside the old dominant force of the Lower Domain, ’Shadow Mountain Black Market’.

It is said that the Mansion of Azure Clouds can stand alongside the Shadow Mountain Black Market all because of the current House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, ’Lanni Barnes’!

And the current House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, ’Lanni Barnes’, is his cheap old man!

If there were no other conditions, just hearing the name of the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds as ’Lanni Barnes’, Wyatt would not connect the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds with his cheap old man, because in this world, people with the same name are ubiquitous.

A coincidence is normal!

However, the situation now is different, because besides sharing a name with his cheap old man, the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds has many ’commonalities’ with him:

Both come from the Mortal Continent!

Years ago, both brought their family from their hometown on the Mortal Continent to the Martial Dao Sacred Land!

Both rose in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land in less than twenty years!

If having the same name and one commonality is a coincidence, what about the second commonality, and the third commonality?

Can all be coincidences?

Therefore, after learning some things about the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds from Augustine, along with the name of the House Master, Wyatt is one hundred percent certain that the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, ’Lanni Barnes’, is indeed his cheap old man!

"So Father is the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds... Then, everything from the past can be explained."

After confirming that his cheap old man is the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, Wyatt recalls previous events related to his father, and suddenly everything becomes clear.

"So... the message left by Father in the exquisite jade box back then was to let me find his subordinates and then have his subordinates take me to the Mansion of Azure Clouds?"

Wyatt still remembers, it was precisely because the sound-condensing jade piece was damaged that he missed the opportunity to reunite with his family.

Because of this, he embarked on a journey to the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, alone and relying entirely on his own efforts!

"No wonder Julia also said Father is not simple back then... Now it seems, it’s more than just not simple!"

Recalling Karina Hanson’s words to him back then, he couldn’t help but smile wryly.

The House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds!

One of the two top powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!

In the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, apart from the ’guardian’ sent by one of the First-Rate Powers from the Upper Domain, the most powerful obvious figures are undoubtedly the leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market, ’Alone’, and the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, ’Lanni Barnes’.

"If the sound-condensing jade piece left by Father back then hadn’t been damaged... I would have gone to the Mansion of Azure Clouds long ago and become the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds!"

Meanwhile, Wyatt couldn’t help but sigh at the twists of fate.

It turns out, since coming to the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, the cheap old man he had been searching for all along was the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have taken so many roundabout routes.

"However, though the journey has been arduous, it hasn’t been without rewards... At least, I got to know senior brother Trevor Baillie and senior brother Augustine. Had I gone to the Mansion of Azure Clouds earlier, I wouldn’t have met them."

Thinking of this, Wyatt feels that although tiring, his journey was worthwhile.

"Also... If I’d gone to the Mansion of Azure Clouds earlier, I wouldn’t have come to the Mysterious Void Mansion, and without coming here, I wouldn’t have entered its ’Holy Martial Secret Land’... And without entering the Sacred Martial Secret Land of the Mysterious Void Mansion, I would never have acquired the Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’!"

Inside the Sacred Martial Secret Land of the Mysterious Void Mansion, Wyatt obtained two advanced Divine Abilities. ’Heavenly Flying Immortal’ was decent and perhaps obtainable in the Sacred Martial Secret Land of the Mansion of Azure Clouds.

But the ’Minor Devouring Technique’ is truly unique!

Even inside the Sacred Martial Secret Land of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, obtaining it is almost impossible.

Overall, the damage to the sound-condensing jade piece back then resulted in both losses and gains for Wyatt.

The loss was the chance to reunite with family early.

The gain was meeting two senior brothers and acquiring the Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’.

"And... if I’d gone to the Mansion of Azure Clouds early and became the Junior House Master, I would’ve already brought Keer and Jovie there! That way, they wouldn’t have faced retaliation from the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, ’Emperor End’. Later, even if Keer’s twin sister came, with the protection of the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ powerhouses, she might not have been able to take Keer away!"

Thinking of this, Wyatt felt a tinge of melancholy again.

"Wyatt, are you... okay?"

Seeing Wyatt’s expression flicker with changing emotions, Augustine couldn’t help but ask.

"I’m fine."

Upon hearing Augustine’s voice, Wyatt Barnes snapped back to reality and exhaled deeply.

He understood that the past was unchangeable, and thinking about it now wouldn’t help.

Life, isn’t it just a series of gains and losses?

"Wyatt, you don’t seem like you’re okay... After hearing the name of the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master, your emotions seemed unusually stirred. Can you tell me why?"

Augustine asked.

After asking, he added, "Of course, if it’s inconvenient to say, then just pretend I never asked!"

"Augustine, even though we haven’t known each other long, true friendship is in sharing our hearts. I trust you, so there’s nothing inconvenient to say."

Wyatt said, "The reason I got emotional upon hearing the name of the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master is because his name is exactly the same as my father’s..."

"Your father’s name is the same as the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master’s name?"

Augustine interrupted Wyatt in surprise, "That’s quite a coincidence... but even if your father’s name and the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master’s name are the same, you don’t seem to need to be so agitated, do you?"

As he continued, Augustine felt puzzled, thinking Wyatt’s reaction was overly dramatic.

Same name?

Upon hearing Augustine’s words, Wyatt couldn’t help but shake his head and continued, "My father and I also come from the Lower Domain!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Augustine’s pupils contracted sharply, his face revealing astonishment: "Wyatt, you... you’re also from the Lower Domain? Are all people from the Lower Domain so monstrous? First, there’s the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master, and then you."

"And your father... with your talent, your father certainly can’t be weak either."

From Augustine’s words, even now, he hadn’t connected Wyatt’s father with the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master.

He only assumed Wyatt said he and his father were from the Lower Domain to emphasize his ’origins.’

"Augustine, that Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master, is my father."

Seeing Augustine’s slow reaction, Wyatt couldn’t help but explain directly.

Boom!

This straightforward remark from Wyatt hit Augustine like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned and completely bewildered.

The Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master ’Lanni Barnes’ is Wyatt’s father?

"How could this be!"

Finally snapping back to reality, Augustine looked at Wyatt and said incredulously, "If you are the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master’s son, then you’re the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds... then how could you possibly come to our Mysterious Void Mansion!"

"Moreover... wait! Your name is Wyatt, and the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master is Lanni... Lanni... Wyatt Barnes... Wyatt Barnes! You... you can’t be that guy who got the ’Demon Sealing Monument,’ as rumored back then?"

"No, that’s not right! I saw an image of the guy who got the Demon Sealing Monument, and you don’t look like him... but wait! You know disguise techniques; back then that ’Eden Lee’ in the Sky-scraping Mansion’s territory was you in disguise! You... you’re not really that ’Wyatt Barnes,’ are you?"

As he spoke, Augustine got confused himself.

"That’s right, I am Wyatt Barnes... and also the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master Lanni Barnes’ son!"

When Wyatt spoke these words, his facial muscles shifted, revealing his true face, a completely different handsome visage.

"It’s really you!"

Seeing Wyatt’s true appearance, Augustine couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

The person standing before him now looked exactly like the person in the portrait he’d seen earlier!

And the person in that portrait was named ’Wyatt Barnes,’ the lucky guy who got the super artifact ’Demon Sealing Monument.’

"After the news of you obtaining the Demon Sealing Monument spread, it was as if you vanished completely. I thought someone had done away with you... but I didn’t expect you first disguised yourself as ’Eden Lee’ causing so much trouble in the Sky-scraping Mansion’s territory, and then disguised again as ’Wyatt’ when you came to our Mysterious Void Mansion."

Augustine spoke with a bitter smile and sigh, he never imagined that his Wyatt Barnes junior was the fortunate lad who got the Demon Sealing Monument back then.

"But aren’t you worried that by exposing your identity to me, I might reveal your true identity? You should know, the moment your identity is exposed, you will not be able to leave the Mysterious Void Mansion alive."

Augustine’s expression suddenly became heavy.

"Will you?"

Facing Augustine’s words, Wyatt smiled and asked in return, seeming completely unbothered.

"No."

Replying to Wyatt, Augustine also smiled. He was naturally not the kind of person who would betray his friends.

Even if Wyatt had only one super artifact, or a thousand or a hundred of them, he would never betray Wyatt.

"However... Junior Wyatt, are you really the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds?"

With his smile fading, Augustine looked at Wyatt with a serious expression and asked.

"I am!"

Wyatt nodded affirmatively.
