While Darryl was still in shock, Zion went toward him and shook his hand with gratitude. “Thank you so much for saving me, Mister Darryl. You have my eternal gratitude. I’ll be sure to visit you at the Hall and give you my thanks once I’ve fully recovered.”
Darryl waved his hand. “Old Master Featherstone, there’s still one important matter. Don’t tell anyone about my position in the Eternal Life Palace Sect, not even to your granddaughter. I’m still a student in the Hexad School after all…”
“Don’t worry Mister Darryl, I won’t mention this to anyone!”
Darryl nodded and went into the main topic. “Old Master Featherstone, you have the Supreme Mystery Scripture according to the Six Sects. Is this true?”
Zion smiled upon hearing Darryl’s words and proudly said, “It’s true. If not why would they organize such a large joint attack to capture me?”
Zion then used his internal energy to shatter the chains before continuing, “But why will I be carrying such an important item with me? I’ve hidden the scripture at an obscure location. Mister Darryl, you’ve rescued me twice. You should have the scripture which I hid at the outskirts of Donghai City.”
What?
The outskirts?
Darryl was stunned for a moment with a little uneasy and shocked.
‘This Old Master is truly brave. I can’t believe he simply hid such an important item.’
Zion continued again, “There’s a valley in the mountains toward the north of Donghai City. There’ s a stone ruin in this valley. Look toward the northeast once you’re there and the scripture will be under the third stone pillar…”
“Stone ruin, third stone pillar.” Darryl quietly uttered the location and remembered it. He then smiled at Zion and said, “Thank you, Old Master Featherstone.”
‘The scripture is almost at hand. I can finally report back to the Cult Mistress! ’ Darryl could not help but smile when he thought of the Cult Mistress.
Darryl and Zion left the private room after 10 minutes.
Evelyn who was still waiting outside grew impatient. She was extremely cheerful and excited the moment she saw Zion and immediately held onto his arm and exclaimed, “Grandpa…”
Evelyn then remembered she was still in the Hexad School which was under the Six Sects’ influence and quickly covered her mouth. Her behavior indeed was adorable.
“That’s enough. We shouldn’t stay here for long. Let’s quickly leave,” said Darryl as he walked toward the school’s entrance.
Darryl finally stopped when they left the school and entered a secluded alley. “Old Master Featherstone, it should be safe here. You may leave now.”
Zion nodded his head and was about to speak but Evelyn interrupted by stepping forward and said coldly, “Alright, my grandfather is safe now. You can piss off.”
‘Damn. She’s kicking me away the moment she gets what she wanted,’ thought Darryl.
