Michelle stared at Austin with a beaming smile plastered on her face.
"Thank you for what you have done for our clan, Austin," she said shyly.
"Don't say that. I'm actually glad that you're not blamingfor getting you into trouble," Austin responded with a blush.
Austin was terrible at handling such situations. He often blurted out random things during those moments.
As Marwell gazed at Austin's slightly red face, something funny suddenly crossed his mind.
‘Perhaps | should give Michelle and Austin sspace, ' he thought with a playful smile. He suddenly felt like being a matchmaker
between the two.
"Michelle, you should keep Austin company. | suddenly remembered that | still have serrands to deal with," Marwell said to his
daughter, smiling inwardly.
Then he took Joyce by the hand and pulled her towards the building where he often cultivated.
"But | don't want to go anywhere. | want to talk to Austin smore,"
Joyce protested, as she struggled to break free from her father's grip. She hadn't seen Austin for a long while and she had so many
to share. The last tthey met wasn't really a good timing for chit-chat, so she didn't want to miss this one.
"Be a good girl now. Leave your sister and Austin alone. You'll understand when you grow up," Marwell lectured.
He then dragged Joyce away.
"Marwell, you..."

"What are you doing, Dad?"
Austin and Michelle immediately knew what Marwell was up to and why he wanted to leave them alone.
Their faces turned red and they both immediately looked the opposite way.
Michelle's cheeks were flushed red, like red apples which were ripe for harvest. She bashfully stole Austin a glance before turning
again in the opposite direction.
Austin was also speechless at Marwell's actions. He was also red from head to toe since he didn't see this coming at all.
‘That old man, why did he suddenly try to fixup with his daughter?’ he wondered, sighing inside awkwardly.
After Marwell and Joyce got into the building, Austin and Michelle were left alone, and an awkward silence suddenly descended on
them. Neither of them had any idea what they should say or do due to the unexpected turn of events.
Austin started a conversation with Michelle just to fill in the awkward silence. After a while, he found an excuse to leave and walked
out.
Before taking his leave, he gave Michelle the Space Rings which initially belonged to Sterling and Lewis. He hoped that the
cultivation resources contained within the rings would be able to help boost the cultivation of the Meng Clan members.
After Austin had taken his leave, Michelle gazed upon the spot where the man once stood, and she suddenly felt upset and
melancholic.
It was true that Austin got Marwell's clan in serious trouble.
But despite of that, he had helped them solve different crises multiple of times already.
And he had provided them with a large amount of resources which were entirely beneficial for the entire clan as well.
In addition to Marwell and Michelle, another two members of the Meng Clan who used to be at the premium stage of Sky Realm
had already reached the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm.
At present, there were four cultivators of the Meng Clan who were at the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm. If it hadn't been for
Austin, such progress would have been too difficult for them to achieve in such a short amount of time. Michelle was indeed
surprised and grateful because of this.
Austin alone took all the credit for the Meng Clan members’ becoming more powerful.
Austin then arrived at the block where Tessa lived.
Using his spiritual sense to check the building where Tessa cultivated, he found Tessa deeply focused in her meditation with her
eyes closed.
Based from the vital energy force which radiated from Tessa, Austin was certain that she was at the preliminary stage of Imperial
Realm already.
‘She has actually reached the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm in such a short amount of time, ' he thought, surprise and
delight was written all over his face.
Out of sheer excitement, Austin decided to enter Tessa's house to check up on her progress.
As soon as he stepped inside, Tessa sensed his presence and stopped her cultivation as she opened her eyes.
"Austin, it's you!" she exclaimed excitedly.

She knew that no one would dare disturb her in there except for Austin. And she was quite pleased that he had decided to visit her.
"Congratulations, Tessa! You have finally reached the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm!"
Austin beamed, like a proud master who had just witnessed his student becstronger.
"Well, you have givena lot of cultivation resources. It seemed only right that | maximize all of them as my thanks to your
generosity," Tessa replied happily.
In fact, Austin had already sensed that Tessa was a talented cultivator the first tthat they had met.
The only thing that was hindering her from progressing even further before was due to the lack of cultivation resources. And
because of her promising talent, Austin didn't even hesitated to provide those resources for her.
As they spoke, Austin sensed that Tessa hadn't stabilized at the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm yet, for she had just made a
breakthrough not too long ago.
After thinking for a while, he took out hundreds of thousands of superior vital energy crystals from his Space Ring and handed
them to Tessa.
Tessa gaped at the shiny superior vital energy crystals. Never before in her entire life had she seen so many superior vital energy
crystals!
Austin also gave Tessa selixirs which could help nourish and replenish her vital energy as she meditated, so that she could
spend more tconsolidating the realm she had reached without worrying about her vital energy levels.
He chatted smore with Tessa for a while, before he took his leave.
Inspired by Tessa's progress, Austin spent the rest of his tpracticing and perfecting the Golden Sun Scripture. . ..
The next day, Austin woke up early and went to the drill ground in the west of the capital.
