Chapter 624 Conversation
"Is that what Mr. Yarrow said?"

Upon hearing Bevan's account, Claire fell into deep thought.

“Yes, Father. Master said I might not understand, but you will. Could you explain the reasoning behind it to me?”

Bevan asked, full of curiosity.

"Didn't Mr. Yaro already explain it to you?"

Although Claire said that, she still patiently spoke up.

"'I think, therefore I am; I am, therefore I think.'"

Even if it's a fictional character, if someone thinks and acts on his behalf, wouldn't he seem as real to those who don't have direct contact with him?

This sounds complicated, but it's actually similar to the concept of passing on the spirit.

The only difference is that the source of the spirit we inherit may be fictitious.

“Perhaps?” Bevan repeated the word in confusion.

Claire nodded slightly and said:

"It is impossible for a person to imagine something they have never seen out of thin air. The character of the Old Man Who Patched Up the Sky may be fictional, but his deeds and his spirit are very likely extracted from many real events."

Bevan, however, said, "I think it's because Master saw too many injustices and, after thinking in reverse, came up with the idea of ​​mending the sky! Otherwise, why are there no similar theories in so many books?"

“Perhaps,” Claire didn’t refute, but instead changed the subject, “Are you sure you want to acknowledge Mr. Yarrow as your godfather?”

"He's a master, not a godfather!" Bevan quickly corrected.

“I know, you just explained it, it’s the overlapping identity of teacher and godfather.”

Claire slowed her pace. "He's more knowledgeable than you, so it's normal for him to be your teacher. But to be your godfather... he wasn't baptized when you were born, and he looks about your age. Wouldn't it be a little strange for him to be your... mentor?"

In fact, even in Aro's previous life, the age gap between a normal master and disciple would not be so small; in fact, Bevin was actually a few years older than Aro.

However, in the era in which Yaro lived in his previous life, formal master-disciple relationships were rare. In addition, the word "master" was widely used on the Internet, so although Yaro was clear about the meaning of "master," he did not pay much attention to it.

Of course, the memories of the two Aro were also an important factor.

In Yaro's eyes, Bevan was just a child. After teaching him for so many days, he had long regarded Bevan as his actual apprentice. Now he was just completing the task of taking on an apprentice and confirming his status, without thinking too much about it.

But Claire had to consider some established rules, as well as the rights and obligations that came with the mentor-apprentice relationship.

Bevin, however, had few concerns and said with an expression of admiration:
"You should be able to appreciate my master's wisdom. In just a few days, he used a knight's secret technique to directly expand a completely new path of cultivation."

"The power he wields is also truly astonishing!"

"You didn't see what happened. That force seemed capable of tearing the sky apart, and the whole world was shattering!"

"And his level of thought!"

Bevin became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Didn't his proposed 'Will to Mend the Heavens' shock you?" Just as jealousy is only directed at those of equal strength, certain concerns only exist between people of the same level.

Having experienced Yaro's knowledge and witnessed his explosive power, Bevin now sees Yaro as almost a god. Only because they were teacher and student did Bevin not immediately bow down to him. Now that he knows how to take their relationship to the next level, he has no more reservations.

If it weren't for Yaro's concern about Bevan's young age and his insistence on obtaining Claire's consent, Bevan would probably have agreed on his own initiative long ago.

However, although he has not formally become an apprentice, Bevin has already naturally changed his address to 'Master'.

Claire frowned slightly. Although he understood his son's admiration for Yarrow, he still had a slight worry in his heart.

“I know Mr. Yaro is extremely powerful, but you must understand that the more powerful a person is, the stronger their enemies will be. If you acknowledge his identity as your apprentice, you may be drawn into a dangerous vortex. Bevin, you are still young, and I don’t want to see you fall into an irreparable situation because of a moment of impulsiveness.”

Claire earnestly advised:
“A student can be an ordinary student, and even if they help Yaro with his work, it can be said to be a necessary contribution to becoming a teacher of a wizard. But a student who is specially recruited under the name of a ‘disciple’ deserves to be treated differently by others.”

“It’s not that I’m unaware of Mr. Yaro’s wisdom and strength, it’s just… sometimes, there’s no need to put all your eggs in one basket, is there?”

In fact, Claire is not an opportunist. She is genuinely convinced of the true meaning of mending the sky and sincerely wants to promote it without any selfish motives.

When faced with her own life or death, Claire truly deserves to be called selfless.

But when it comes to Bevan, he still wants to be more cautious.

“Father, I have given it careful consideration.”

Bevin looked directly into Claire's eyes, his gaze filled with an unprecedented determination.

"Regardless of what others think, and regardless of any potential risks, I am willing to take them on!"

Seeing this, Claire fell silent for a moment.

After a moment of silence, seeing the somewhat dull atmosphere, Bevan broke the ice.

“Father, you know my physical condition. Right now, I can only rely on my master for protection. He has now proposed to take me as a disciple. If we refuse, what will he think?”

Claire's eyes flickered slightly.

Seeing the change in his father's expression, a sly glint flashed in Bevin's eyes. He lowered his head, leaned closer, and whispered:
"If I don't become an apprentice, will I be safe?"

"The territory of Viscount Lix is ​​directly managed by our deputy butler, Dylan, who also oversees the supplies for the Cat School."

"Although Wugong Mountain has not been established yet, I am already a designated elder for passing on skills."

"As for Mingyue Palace, I am also teaching acupoint knowledge, and I will definitely have some influence in the future."

"And the Patching Heaven Sect was entirely perfected by you, Father."

“Father, whether you admit it or not, we have long been bound to Master Yaro.”

“On the contrary, if I don’t take a master, my master might not realize the danger in my situation, and the danger might be more likely to come.”

Upon hearing this, Claire looked up at Bevin, her eyes filled with worry and helplessness: "Alright, alright, I agree. What about Mr. Yaro? I'll go give him an answer right now."

"Master said he was going to observe the situation in the military camp, but I think he was just making room for us to talk. He'll be back soon."
