Darryl felt the bones in his body were shivering when he heard her calling him ‘husband.’ A smile appeared on his face, and he felt delighted.
Although he still had not figured out a way to leave with Debra, he felt delighted when he heard the noble Sect Master calling him ’husband.’
The Sect Master bit her lips, and her face went red as she was incredibly furious and embarrassed. She had never imagined that she would call Darren ‘husband’.
“I greeted you already. Go sleep on the floor,” the Sect Master said coldly.
“Fine, fine.” Darryl smiled and nodded as he released the Sect Master. Of course, he did not release her acupoint. He took advantage of her earlier because what if she tried to ambush him in the middle of the night. It would be wiser to be careful.
The next second, Darryl looked around and saw some paintings on the side table. He took the paintings and laid them on the ground. He had no choice as there were no extra blankets in the room; he could only lay on the paintings.
However, due to his carelessness, Darryl accidentally tore one of the paintings in half.
Seeing that, the Sect Master’s body trembled as she shouted at Darryl, “You! This is the original copy of Master Cecil’s Saint Cursive Calligraphy. You are doomed….”
When she said that, apart from feeling heartache, she felt delighted too.
‘Doomed?’ Darryl squeezed his brows and looked at the Sect Master curiously.
“Isn’t this just a calligraphy painting? What’s the big fuss?” he said.
The Sect Master smiled and said slowly, “Ha-ha! You must not know that Jackie gave it to me on the day the Sun Set Sect was formed. This is really meaningful to her. Now that you tore it, she won’t forgive you so easily.”
The Sect Master was right; the calligraphy painting was indeed a special gift from Jackie to the Sect Master during the formation of the Sun Set Sect. It was like a symbol of their sisterhood; it was exceptionally meaningful.
