Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1609

"It'll be fine, I think. Selene is immensely talented, and her attainment level is worth being proud of too. She'll be in a much better position if she's with us," Sheila responded without hesitation.

However, Sofia interjected and said to Diane, "You should consider this carefully though. If Selene stays in South Link City, she'll enjoy safety under the protection of the Shanahans. Both the Shanahans and the Dracodeus Temple are formidable entities that no one would dare to provoke. This allows her to have a secure environment growing up. Conversely, her safety isn't guaranteed if you bring her to the sect. Severin's uncle-master might be able to offer protection as the sect leader, but there will be plenty of geniuses and high-level practitioners within the sect. Severin's presence might incite feelings of jealousy, which makes it unsafe for Selene."

After pondering for a while, Sheila said, "I believe it shouldn't pose too big of a problem. Being at the sect might not be as safe as staying in South Link City, but Selene will flourish if she remains alongside Severin."

Sofia nodded and added, "This is something Diane must discuss carefully with Severin. We have just over a month left, and it's important to find out Severin's opinion."

Diane concurred and said, "Your concerns are valid, Sofia. The sect may assign us tasks that we are obliged to complete, and it'll be difficult to bring Selene along with us in fulfilling our obligations. Her low attainment level and young age may make it difficult for Severin's uncle-master to accept her into the sect."

Severin smiled and clarified, "Some of the great elders can be exempted from the selection process. They will assume the roles of Dracodeus Temple's leaders to some extent. For the sake of fairness, however, each hall will need to have at least one of its current elders serving as an elder within Dracodeus Temple. Other positions, such as protectors or elders, will be assigned based on their attainment levels. After pausing briefly, Severin added, "As for the position of Supreme leader, we intend to choose from the younger generation, someone who is not more than thirty years of age. They will compete in a combat tournament, and the victor will be qualified to assume the role of the new supreme leader."

Sheila's eyes lit up when she heard about the competition. She asked eagerly, "Can we watch the competition if we have time to spare?"
