"Do you know what the jade tablet of a demi-spiritual-emperor force is used for?" Scar asked in surprise after hearing what Ricky had said.
"Back when I got the jade tablet, it was to help me enter the Oriental College, because I was only a demi-immortal and it was highly likely that I would be denied access to such a renowned college," Ricky answered honestly.
"That makes sense!" Scar replied lightly.
"Then, this jade tablet could solve the bad situation coming up in the next three days," Ricky added.
"You're right. The Zhang Clan is well respected because of Jasper. Even some spiritual-emperor forces need to show respect to the clan, let alone demi-spiritual-emperor forces," Scar said.
"If Keyon doesn't want to anger the Zhang Clan, he will give up. If he still insists on taking Madeline away, then we'll have to prepare for a fight!"
"Let's give it our best shot!" Ricky said. "Soar, you need to make sure to get your temper under control when we face him in three days. I promise you that Keyon will be all yours in ten days. You just need to wait a bit longer."
"I understand, Ricky," Soar replied with a quick nod. He had realized that they were on the weaker side in that situation.
Then, Ricky and his companions rested up at the Saber Hall, waiting patiently for whatever was coming their way in three days. Ricky was more concerned about getting the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth though.
Madeline had always been curious about the relationship between Scar and Ricky, because she was able to tell that Scar treated Ricky with great respect. What made her even more curious about it was that neither Ricky nor Soar had influential power standing behind them.
Madeline asked Ricky about it. "Scar works for me, so he has to treat his superiors seriously," was the only answer she got from Ricky.
Since she wasn't satisfied with Ricky's reply, she decided to try and ask Soar. To her surprise, Soar gave her the same answer. Soar wouldn't tell her that Scar was actually Ricky's servant though.
Soar's cryptic reply angered Madeline. She decided to push him further and furiously demanded, "Soar, if you dare to lie to my face once again, you'll lose me forever."
Madeline's strategy worked and Soar was frightened by what she said, though he still kept his mouth shut tightly.
...
Three days passed quickly. As Scar said, a group of warriors came and knocked on the door of the Saber Hall.
The leading one was a young, handsome, and elegant warrior in a golden garment. His eyes were as sharp as two knives. If anyone looked right into his eyes, they would feel as if they were being penetrated by such knives.
Standing behind him was an elder in cyan garment. Ricky knew the elder was called Jim. He was a completed spiritual king from the Garuda tribe.
Another middle-aged warrior in their group looked like a scholar. He was Josiah, leader of the Spear Hall, and a completed spiritual king.
Scar also used his internal power to introduce the other two young warriors standing behind Josiah. One was Banka, and the other one was Benson. They were two well-known geniuses and would fight for the Spear Hall beside Keyon.
"Haha, Scar, have you figured out what to do next? If you hand the girl I want over to me, the Saber Hall will have our gratitude; we can be friends. Besides, when I get the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth, I'll leave some of it to you guys," Keyon said arrogantly.
Keyon irked Soar. If Ricky hadn't put his hand on Soar's shoulder and held him back, he would have already sprung up to fight against Keyon for the girl's honor.
"Keyon, I have already told you that Madeline works for me, but she can decide for herself whether she wants to stay or leave," Scar replied shortly.
