If he were to allow the other party to continue to grow, it would be terrible. They even had that gold-tier magical weapon. When it was unleashed just now, its power had made even him shudder from the depths of his heart. In other words, he too did not have the confidence to win if faced with such a magical weapon.

Sigh, why do their family have such a powerful magical weapon, while we don’t?

Maril thought gloomily. Their family clan, like the Nicholas family clan, was a powerful family clan that had also produced a Great Archmage in their lineage.

I definitely cannot let them continue to develop. It looks like I must start to do that thing soon.

Maril thought, and then he left.

On the other side, after all the guests of the Nicholas family had been sent off, Norton said to Ron, “Come, follow me.”

Ron nodded and followed Norton into the ancestral hall. No one else followed.

Upon entering the ancestral hall, when there were just the two of them, simultaneously, they both paid their respects to their Old Ancestor, Romo, like they had a tacit understanding. Norton then asked, “Tell me, what actually happened?”

Ron said with gratitude, “Grandpa, my injuries had been healed by the Old Ancestor, the cultivation technique too, had been given to me by the Old Ancestor. He had also helped me advance my cultivation base. Everything I have, had been given by the Old Ancestor!”

As expected!

Although Norton had already been mentally prepared, hearing Ron’s words had confirmed his thinking. He was so grateful to his Old Ancestor that he almost teared up.

“Come, let’s pay our respects to our Old Ancestor again.” After listening to Ron’s story, Norton pulled Ron over to kowtow to Romo again to express their gratitude.

Although he could no longer obtain Faith Points again, Romo had sensed their gratitude. This made Romo very happy.

After they had paid their respects, Ron took out his Ice Wand and said, “Grandpa, do keep this Ice Wand.”

Norton thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think so. This Ice Magic Wand can greatly increase one’s strength. Right now, you are the strongest in our family, so the Ice Wand can only exercise its maximum effects in your hands. If the Old Ancestor has any instructions in the future, you can return it when the time comes.”

“Alright, I’ll hold on to it then.” After giving some thought to it, Ron did not continue to object. At the same time, he had made up his mind not to disappoint the Old Ancestor, since he must have given him the Ice Wand so he could protect the family clan.

“And I don’t think there’ll be any more problems with your engagement to Serena. Grandpa and your Grandpa Colin, we are both supportive of your engagement. Serena also seems to like you very much. Even if there are outsiders trying to prevent this, you still have the support of both our families. You have nothing to fear.”

“Got it, Grandpa.”

…

News of what had happened in the Nicholas family clan quickly spread throughout Winterfrost. Almost everyone was talking about the Nicholas family clan. The most explosive news was that the fallen genius of the Nicholas family clan had made a comeback, and he was even more powerful than before. Not only had he recovered his cultivation base fully, he had even become more powerful than before; he had reached the realm of a level-5 Great Mage. He was simply an exceptional genius.

Moreover, the Nicholas family even had a gold-tier magical weapon! This was a weapon that even a Great Archmage would be envious of!

The genius from the Nicholas family clan had even defeated a top student from the Sky Blue Magic Academy!

In short, all kinds of news about the Nicholas family clan had flooded the entire Winterfrost. As everyone discussed this, they were envious and also jealous of the Nicholas family clan. There were also those who were worried for them and those who mocked them for overestimating their capabilities to dare to even knock the lights out of a top student of the Sky Blue Magic Academy. By doing so, they had utterly offended the Sky Blue Magic Academy. Even if their family had gold-tier magical weapons, they would not be able to withstand the rage of the Sky Blue Magic Academy!

On the other side, in the Campbell family, Howen had already regained his consciousness by evening. He had not been seriously injured earlier but just frozen. Romo had acted with appropriate restraint, so he did not freeze him to death. Otherwise, with Romo’s strength, he would have killed him instantly.

Subsequently, it was City Lord Lein who intervened and saved him. He even gave him a precious medicine for healing injuries. Hence, the wounds on his body had basically healed, but the wounds in his heart certainly had not healed so easily.

After all, he had been defeated in front of so many people by a person whom he had always looked down on and regarded as a loser. Furthermore, he had gone back on his words during the duel. This had not only caused his own reputation to be swept to the ground, but had also implicated the entire Sky Blue Magic Academy.

This was unacceptable to him who had always been proud, so after he had woken up, he had been very quiet. He said nothing when Fiona and Klein asked him anything. He only said that he wanted some rest before chasing them out of the room. They were also afraid of agitating Howen, so they dared not say more. However, this had made them even more worried; they were afraid that Howen would do something irrational.

Colin Campbell had also wanted to inform the Nicholas family right away about Howen’s awakening. After all, they would definitely be very worried about Howen’s injuries. If they knew that Howen was fine, they would be relieved. At least, the Sky Blue Magic Academy would not pursue the matter too much. However, Selina had actually come over to tell him that she wanted to inform them personally about this matter.

How could Colin Campbell not know what Serena was thinking? As the saying went, a woman of age should not be kept from marriage. This was the case now.

Serena’s attention is probably all on that brat, Ron.

Colin Campbell thought gloomily. However, he did not stop her. After all, now that Ron was so outstanding, and Serena could marry Ron, Colin Campbell was overjoyed. How could he forbid her?

When Serena arrived at the house of the Nicholas family, everyone in the family was in a frenzy. Almost everyone had come to the reception hall where Serena was waiting, including the family head Norton and his wife, Zoro, Sonia, Jack, Norin, and almost all the members of the Nicholas family.

They had already met Serena earlier in the day, but there were too many people then, and there were also the outsiders, so they could not act freely.. But it was different now; they all knew that Serena would certainly be Ron’s wife in future, and they were all here now to see Ron’s wife in advance.
