Jackie moaned and was too lazy to speak further as she said coldly, “Darren, you know clearly in your heart whether you are friends with Debra. I am telling you, no matter what your relationship is, if you treat the Sect Master poorly, and upset her, I will not let you go easily.”
Jackie’s tone got colder as she continued to say, “Also, let me tell you one thing. I sent someone to investigate Debra’s background. If this woman’s relationship with you is not like what you said, you better watch out. I will torture Debra until she rather die than live.”
When she said the last sentence, Jackie smiled lightly as she glared at Darryl like he was giving him a hint. Then, she turned and left the room.
‘What?’ Darryl’s body went stiff instantly when he watched Jackie leave. Anger started burning in his heart at that instant.
‘Jackie is such a manipulative woman with terrible intentions. She even sent someone to investigate Debra.’
Alongside his anger, Darryl started to be worried. His face turned dark as he stepped out of the room.
Sigh!
Looking at the garden outside, Darryl sighed lightly as he asked Pang Tong and others in the Exquisite Pagoda, “Pang Tong, Yuan Tiangang; do you have any suggestions?”
“This…” Yuan Tiangang went silent for a while as he said bitterly, “If it was about astronomy or geography, feng shui or astrology, I might be able to help you, Master. But…in terms of a relationship between a woman and a man; I really have no clue.”
Pang Tong smiled bitterly and said, “Master, I am unable to help too.”
Darryl went silent.
Just at that moment, Zhang Xu, the Divine Grassist, spoke, “Master, you’re impatient and angry now. Obviously, you won’t be able to figure out anything. Why don’t you calm down first; maybe you’ll come up with a solution then?”
Then, Zhang Xu shared all of his knowledge of calligraphy with Darryl. Darryl calmed his heart and sat on the stone stool in the garden, practicing writing on the ground using a tree branch.
Darryl’s handwriting was good, but now that he had the Divine Grassist’s guidance, his calligraphy has improved substantially.
He was unsure how long he had been practicing, but he finally calmed down when night fell. However, he still could not figure out a solution.
Noticing the sky had gone dark, Darryl returned to his room.
Once he reached his room, he saw a female disciple was waiting inside. Once she saw Darryl had returned, she spoke respectfully, “Lord Master, Elder Master says since you are the Lord Master now, and the Sect Master’s husband, it is not appropriate for you to stay here by yourself. From today onwards, you shall rest in the Sect Master’s room.”
Darryl was stunned when he heard that. He froze for a few seconds before he regained his thoughts. He could not cry or laugh in his heart.
