Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2014

The revelation filled Oskar with excitement.

"That sounds like an exaggeration." Severin smiled. He deliberately told Oskar about Selene's qualities in the hope of attracting his attention. Although Severin held a special status as the sixth core disciple and was not afraid of threats, there was every possibility that someone might learn of Selene's astounding talent and take extreme risks to get what they wanted. Severin would ideally wish to avoid that.

As soon as Oskar found out that Selene had the legendary 'Celestial Bone Foundation', he was filled with excitement and instantly felt like taking Selene in as his disciple. As the leader of the Grandiuno Sect, he knew the predilections of practitioners and understood just how significant Selene's constitution was.

Many coveted the Celestial Bone Foundation, and that would put Selene in danger. Some people might wish to extract the bones of a person with the Celestial Bone Foundation and remove the marrow before transplanting the extracted part into their bones. Though the effect would be greatly reduced, there was still a scant possibility of becoming a celestial. That alone was tempting enough for many people to take such appalling risks.

Oskar could already foresee how much envy he would get even within the sect. If he accepted Selene as his apprentice, and she became a celestial in the future, then he would be able to stand proud as her teacher. After pondering for a moment, Oskar raised his head and looked at Severin. "Your daughter has been bestowed with an amazing talent. I'm worried that she'll attract the attention of too many people if news gets out."

Severin was elated to hear that because he already had a good guess as to what Oskar wanted to say. He gestured respectfully toward Oskar and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

"I'd like to take your daughter as my apprentice and pass my mantle on to her. Is that agreeable to you?" Oskar asked thoughtfully. "Consider it a way of protecting Selene."
