On his trip back to the main building of the manor, Jiang Chen thought about Jacquardo's last sentence. When he asked Jacquardo how a peasant could use the Golden Apple, the man just smiled without replying.
The elder's response made Jiang Chen feel secretly relieved. Jacquardo's smile without a reply meant he viewed Jiang Chen as an "outsider." Hence, he thought Jiang Chen didn't know about the actual Golden Apple.
After finishing the entire roasted lamb leg, the elder extinguished the bonfire and buried the now-meatless carcass into the ground before departing. He picked up a backpack losing its color and headed to the wooden cabin beside the lake.
Perhaps his thoughts were somewhere else that time flew by as he realized he was now at the main building. When he arrived, Ccides was already waiting for him at the door.
"Did you see master?" When Jiang Chen stepped in front of him, the aged butler smiled courteously.
