Sifler looked at the confident young man in front of him and chuckled wryly.
Yes, Cole had grown up.
As one gets older, it's easy to overlook the passage of time.
The little brat from back then had now turned into a strong individual capable of handling things on his own.
The fledgling eagle had grown into a mighty eagle, and indeed no longer needed him to worry so much.
"Then you should make sure you're ready before you go, and be careful in everything," Sifler advised, feeling at that moment that he was truly old.
Cole flashed a bright and confident smile, "Mm-hmm, I'm leaving now, teacher."
Sifler nodded and said, "Upon your return, I will arrange a marriage for you."
Cole gave a wry smile and ran off as if to escape.
He didn't want to be tied down by marriage so early; the years he spent traveling had made him fall in love with the feeling of freedom.
Once one steps into marriage, many things become beyond one's control.
