Living With My Lady Boss

Herbert seemed to be able to read Wilbur's mind and said, "Mister Penn, please remember that the dimensional guardians are without emotions. They suppress their own will to serve the will of the universe dimension. Everything they do is an inevitable part of the universe dimension's operation. This means they won't give special consideration to you or me because of their emotions. I understand this is harsh, and I know your dream is to go back in time to prevent a disaster, Mister Penn. But to be blunt, it's almost impossible. Serving a dimensional guardian is like serving the will of the universe dimension itself. How could the will of the universe dimension, which is predetermined, be easily changed? Thus, becoming a servant of a dimensional guardian only serves to erase a cultivator's emotions and will, turning them into a servant of the dimension's will, and ultimately, enslaving them."

Wilbur kept contemplating what Herbert said on the way back. If what Herbert said was true, then even if Wilbur became a servant of a dimensional guardian, he would not be able to fulfill his wish and would face greater dangers.

Therefore, Wilbur felt deep disappointment and regret. If he could not go back and change the outcome of past events, then everything he was doing would be meaningless.

Heaton saw Wilbur return looking haggard on the snowy mountain. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did you fail the test today?"

Wilbur shook his head and repeated what Herbert said. Heaton asked after listening to him, "If that's the case, why did he insist, but try to make you give up? If dimensional guardians are truly so cold, why do so many people still want to become their servants?"

The question knocked some sense into Wilbur. 'True. If dimensional guardians are as Herbert described, then why did he not choose to withdraw himself but rather wished for others to do so?' he wondered.

It became clear that Herbert only wanted to reduce the number of competitors and was not trying to help Wilbur. Wilbur felt relieved once he understood that.

Heaton pulled out two bottles of beer from the ice bucket and handed one to Wilbur. He said, "Here, Wilbur. Tell him that you are the powerful one tomorrow! Herbert is nothing but a foolish guy."

Meanwhile, Herbert arrived at the palace. He knelt on one knee and said, "Mister Sade, I have carried out the task you instructed."

"So, did Wilbur Penn choose to withdraw from the competition?" asked Sade.

"I noticed he looked dejected, and given that the outcome of the competition did not align with his original intentions, I think he probably won't show up tomorrow," replied Herbert.

"Ha. If he can be persuaded to withdraw so easily, even if he were to become my servant, he would be a cowardly one. I do not need such a servant," said Sade.

It turned out that Herbert was actually Sade's servant. Sade wanted Herbert to continue serving him, but he had to comply with the will of the universe dimension and hold the servant tournament two thousand years ahead of schedule.

Sade could not believe that Wilbur's presence had triggered the dimensional will, forcing Sade to comply. It was undoubtedly a nuisance for Sade, so he had no choice but to send Herbert among the participants, trying to find a way to get close to Wilbur and persuade him to withdraw.

There had never been a case where a cultivator could trigger the will of the universe dimension. Therefore, Sade was wary of Wilbur. If Wilbur could absorb dimensional energy or even control the dimensional will, he might become a dimensional guardian himself.noveldrama

Sade feared that he would be ridiculed by the other dimensional guardians and become the subject of their mockery if it came to that. To avoid such a situation, Sade decided to first weaken Wilbur's will and make him withdraw from the competition, then send someone to eliminate him later.
