“I'm here to look for Ms. Viola. I was overcome with emotion when I learned she was still alive. I know you're looking for an opportunity to take over Emerald Cauldron Sect from Hosen. That's why I came to see if there's anything I can do to help,” Ebenez said frankly.
That response left Ghaylen somewhat taken aback. He had not expected Ebenez to be so open and honest.
“Why are you helping me, Ebenez? I know my disciple killed one of yours, so I'd already be counting my lucky stars if you didn't hate me. Why would you still help me? On top of that, you were secretly in contact with Demonic Cultivators and used them to kill my disciples. Now, you turn around and say you want to help us. How am I supposed to trust you?” Since Ebenez had been so forthright, Ghaylen did not beat around the bush and immediately brought up the fact that Ebenez had been communicating with Demonic Cultivators.
“I think you've misunderstood, Ghaylen. I'm not helping you, but Ms. Viola. If she wasn't alive, I'd still view you as a thorn in my side and still hunt Jared down. But now, it turns out that she's alive and well. Our previous lord took us both under his wing, so we must help her. I can't stand Hosen anymore. After becoming the sect's leader, he has been arrogant and never treated us as humans. He hits and scolds us whenever he wants. I've had enough!” Ebenez ranted angrily.
After listening to that, Ghaylen started to trust Ebenez a little. After all, he had witnessed Hosen slapping him in public. No one would believe that Ebenez doesn't feel the slightest resentment toward Hosen after getting slapped. After all, he's Emerald Cauldron Sect's second elder, yet Hosen didn't show him any respect and hit him. I have to say that was a bit too much.
