"Yes, this is my jade tablet. There could only be one reason why it is shining now—someone who has another jade tablet from our Zhang Clan is somewhere nearby," Daisy explained.
"And the light on my jade tablet is getting brighter and brighter, indicating that the person holding the jade tablet from our clan is fast approaching."
"So, it means that we may be rescued by whoever is coming towards us," Warren said excitedly when he heard Daisy's explanation.
"Daisy, does that mean this guy is from the same clan you belong to?" Thiago said excitedly as well. If the guy who was coming to rescue them was also from the Zhang Clan, there was no doubt that he would be powerful as well. If that was the case, they now had a chance to get out of their sticky situation. That was why the two disciples were so excited.
"No. If my guess is right, it must be Ricky!" Daisy said slowly. "Apart from me, no other disciple in the Zhang Clan had entered the Land of Legacy."
"Ricky? How could that be possible?" Warren and Thiago both felt that it was unlikely to be him.
On one hand, they didn't understand how Ricky was able to get his hands on the jade tablet of the Zhang Clan; on the other hand, they didn't think Ricky was strong enough to help them get out of their current problem. As a result, the excitement in their eyes went down drastically.
What made them even more worried was that after Ricky showed up, he would probably become another valuable target for the Nether Army.
This time, the Nether Manor had sent so many Nether Army members to the Land of Legacy. Somehow, both Warren and Thiago felt that the main objective of them was to kill Ricky for being the legendary ace genius.
"It's him! I am completely sure about it!" Daisy reiterated with confidence.
"Daisy, can the jade tablet of your clan deliver a message to Ricky that he should not come here?" Warren asked immediately in a serious tone.
"Daisy, I agree with what Warren said. Since there's no way to get out of here anymore, we should at least make sure that the Nether Army doesn't get their hands on Ricky," Thiago said in a serious tone to support Warren.
"And please do tell him that after he makes more progress and becomes a formidable warrior, he can avenge us by killing more warriors from the Nether Army."
"I understand what you mean, but my jade tablet can only sense the presence of other similar tablets and can't send him any information," Daisy said at once.
Hearing what Daisy said, both Warren and Thiago looked even gloomier. They heaved a deep sigh and said, "Why is God so unfair to our Oriental College? Why would he arrange the disciples from our college here today? Does he want us all killed?"
"You two seem to have no confidence in Ricky!" Daisy said when as she heard the deep sighs from Warren and Thiago.
"Daisy, it is not that we don't have confidence in him, but we just know that Ricky still needs to improve his strength in order to stand a chance against them," Warren elaborated.
"To be honest, I don't have much confidence in Ricky too due to his current strength, but someone has told me he has great confidence in him. Therefore, I have to trust Ricky as well," Daisy added.
"Someone? Who would that be?" Warren and Thiago asked out of curiosity.
"My elder brother!"
"What? Jasper has confidence in Ricky?!" Both of them had trouble believing what they just heard.
"Before entering the Land of Legacy, my elder brother said something to me," Daisy said seriously. "He told me that I should never underestimate an ace genius like Ricky.
My brother's exact words were, 'The Land of Legacy is the place where Ricky will rise and after getting out of the Land of Legacy, he will become extremely formidable and completely well-known among the warriors of the Eastern Land. Moreover, he will finally have the strength to compete against me.
Of course, even if we ever have a fierce competition as if we were enemies, we will always remain friends.'"
Warren and Thiago became silent for a while after hearing Daisy's words. If the comments about Ricky were made by others, they would've still refused to believe any of them. Yet, when it came to Jasper, a peerless genius who had grown up to be a very formidable warrior, they had no other choice but to believe him.
"So, now that Ricky is coming, we must believe that he could help us put an end to our trouble," Daisy said. "Since my elder brother has faith in him, I also believe in him with my whole heart.
