Darryl turned around and looked at Jewel with a smile. “Don’t steal again in the future.”
“Mister, I am so hungry…” Jewel pouted. Then she whispered, “I steal these steamed buns from here for a reason. The owner is mean and never treats beggars as human beings. One time, I merely stood in front of his store, but he got his people to chase me out. He cursed me so many times, so I came here to steal some steamed buns from him.”
A beggar who lived by her principles?
Darryl laughed. Then he looked at Jewel and said, ” You’re out here at such a young age. Where is your family?”
Jewel frowned. She lowered her head and said, “I don’t have any parents, so I have been wandering around since I was young. I can’t do anything, so I became a beggar…”
Jewel raised her head and looked at Darryl gratefully. “Thankyou, Mister.”
Darryl laughed and patted Jewel’s head. He asked, ” By the way, can you tell me where this place is? I have been living in the mountains for a long time, and I recently came out to see the world. I have no idea what is going on…”
Jewel smiled and said, “This is Hai City, the most prosperous city in the Great East Continent.”
The Great East Continent?
F*ck! Great East Continent! The seven volumes of 1 Supreme Mystery Scripture’ mentioned about the nine continents in the world—the Great East Continent must be one of them. Abbess Mother Serendipity had also been teleported simultaneously, and Darryl still did not know where she was.
Darryl was deep in thoughts as Jewel continued to say, “Mister, there are four major sects in the Great East Continent. They are very powerful and you must not provoke any of them! The four major sects are the Sword Sect, the Jade Sect, the Elixir Sect, and the Artemis Sect.
“The Sword Sect uses the sword and is very good with it.
“The Jade Sect—only women can join them. They are as beautiful as jade, so they are called the Jade Sect.
“The Elixir Sect is good in alchemy. They can refine a lot of powerful pills.
“The Artemis Sect is made up of academicians. They are all great writers who can write beautiful poems and compose music…”
Jewel talked a lot. She had wandered around since she was young, so she had a lot of knowledge. She felt grateful toward Darryl, so she told him everything she knew.
Darryl sighed in relief before he asked, “Then, do you know how I can leave this continent?”
Jewel looked confused. “I don’t know…”
