On the stage, Megan stood a few meters away from Darryl. She looked complicated.
“Megan!” Abbess Mother Serendipity pressured Megan further.
Megan shivered, but she had to obey her master. She held a sword in her hand.
She sighed.
Darryl also sighed as he said, “Megan, please leave the stage. I do not want to hurt you.”
Even though she was Abbess Mother Serendipity’s student, Darryl did not want to hurt Megan.
Megan was very emotional when she heard Darryl’s words. She bit her lips and felt embarrassed. The man had said that he did not want to hurt her.
Darryl’s words played on repeat in Megan’s mind; she was happy to hear that.
Abbess Mother Serendipity was furious. She shouted, “Megan, don’t listen to him. Just go ahead! ri How could that useless bastard teased Megan; he must be looking for death.
Darryl must be tired and weak after he defeated so many people. When she thought about the pressure from Abbess Mother Serendipity, Megan was about to cry. “Master… I can’t do it.”
Megan was caught between her friendship with Darryl and her master. She would have never gone to the fight that day if she knew she would be caught in such a predicament.
Abbess Mother Serendipity shouted fiercely, “I am ordering you to do it. If you still hesitate, then don’ t call me Master. You will no longer be part of the Emei family.”
Abbess Mother Serendipity continued to say, “Keep in mind that you are representing the Emei family, Megan. Do you want to shame our family?
She was right. Megan was a representation of the Emei family. She bit her lips as she held her sword tightly in her hands. Then she charged toward Darryl.
Darryl did not suspect that Megan would move from her aim at his chest to his lower abdomen. The blade pierced through his stomach.
The sword penetrated Darryl’s abdomen; blood oozed from the fresh wound.
“You—” Darryl’s face immediately paled. He did not expect the sword would turn in his stomach. Darryl’s breath was labored. He was pierced through his abdomen, one of the most critical points for cultivators. Darryl was heartbroken. He did not expect Megan would actually injure him.
