And besides…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly remembered how Dixon had practically begged Daniel to help him before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That attitude was completely different from what Daniel was suggesting now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be fooled by Master Dixon's age. He's got quite the temper too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veya smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that Daniel was joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So… which faction do you actually want to join?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thousand Suns Hall and Blue Jade Guild? Or maybe Artisan's Sanctuary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veya asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel thought for a moment before slowly responding—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, I'm not particularly interested in either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want to find a place with no conflicts, somewhere I can be with close friends and family—drinking tea, relaxing. That's more than enough for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his mind drifted for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered how Rose was doing now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That… does sound nice,\" Veya admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, it really would be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But who knows if that's even possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon had just experienced what it truly meant to be at the peak of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, these kinds of high-ranking figures were people he could barely even meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet today, they had been bickering in front of him like children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all because of Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of it all, Dixon ultimately decided to follow Daniel's original wishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had asked Daniel before—after everything that happened with Artisan's Sanctuary, did he still want to join them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel's answer had been clear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never really cared about joining Artisan's Sanctuary in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only participating in the Enlightenment Competition to help Dixon and his daughter regain some dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been humiliated by Greg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon had been deeply moved at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now, following Daniel's wishes, Dixon announced—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the time being, Daniel would remain a member of Velen Forging Workshop but would head to Thousand Suns Hall to further his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether he would stay there permanently—that would be up to Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thousand Suns Hall official was delighted by this outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Daniel set foot in Thousand Suns Hall, he wasn't worried about keeping him there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the abundance of resources available, not to mention the support of Blue Jade Guild, there was no way Daniel would want to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Thousand Suns Hall couldn't retain him, then Artisan's Sanctuary definitely wouldn't stand a chance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he just had to return and report this incredible news to his lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he also formally established an alliance between Thousand Suns Hall and Velen Forging Workshop—a mutual support agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Morris…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was deeply disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel could have joined Artisan's Sanctuary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of one small mistake…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had slipped through his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't his fault!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all Greg's fault!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morris suddenly realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, this was all because of Greg!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greg had poisoned his mind, constantly talking about how terrible Greenstone City was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had warped Morris' perspective, leading him to ignore a talent like Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the real reason things had turned out this way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back, Morris recalled that in previous years, he had always made sure to evaluate Dixon's recommended students before making any judgments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, Dixon didn't recommend anyone at all—probably because there were no students in Velen Forging Workshop that met the standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morris had completely skipped the evaluation process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that wasn't Greg's fault, then whose was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of Greg, he had even strained his relationship with Velen Forging Workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Dixon had already chosen to send Daniel to Thousand Suns Hall, Morris still had to do something to mend their relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dixon,\" Morris said, forcing a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I return, I will speak with the other Artisan's Sanctuary elders about providing additional resources to Velen Forging Workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, we are partners.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morris was trying to show goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because once a relationship was damaged, it was incredibly difficult to repair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was now doing everything in his power to fix things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn Greg!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morris wouldn't be struggling like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, the struggle came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, the final rankings of the Enlightenment Competition were officially announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some people, the rankings didn't even matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because everyone had already witnessed the truth—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undisputed first place was Daniel, the one who cut the Blue Stone in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for second place…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, it was Veya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the rankings didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no controversy over the results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following this, the official prizes were awarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top ten contestants were all granted core disciple status in Thousand Suns Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veya was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for Daniel, she might have struggled to even make the top ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she had secured second place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that, the Enlightenment Competition finally came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey to Thousand Suns Hall was scheduled for the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Dixon drank a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even drank through half of his ten-year collection of wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious—Dixon was incredibly happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his tolerance for alcohol seemed to have improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking, he clung to Daniel, rambling on about all sorts of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, his emotions overwhelmed him, and he even started crying, wiping his tears and snot all over Daniel's clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swore that he would never make fun of Dixon for being a lightweight again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to tonight, he preferred the Dixon who passed out after one drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Daniel's deadpan expression, Betsy burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Daniel handed his written insights to Betsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also specifically bid farewell to Betsy and Ed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his time here had been brief, it had been wonderful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because Dixon was too hungover, he didn't come to see Daniel off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Betsy and Ed arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying his goodbyes, Daniel boarded Thousand Suns Hall's airship, swiftly departing Greenstone City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The airship was massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath him, Greenstone City gradually shrunk into the distance…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, disappeared completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this, Daniel felt a wave of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people, some moments—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would ultimately become nothing more than fleeting memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never expected us to come here together… and now we're leaving together too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veya walked up beside him, gazing at the now vanished city below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you… will definitely go much farther than me,\" she said, with absolute certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The road is long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one can say how far they'll go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All we can do is give it our all… and leave the rest to time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veya smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah… leave the rest to
