As Sofia spoke, she held Lindsey's hand and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"
Since Lindsey came out from the underground city, the person that she was most familiar with was Darryl. For a moment, she could not get used to Sofia's enthusiasm.
"Don't worry!" Looking at Lindsey's face, Darryl chuckled and said, "This is Sofia. I told you about her during our journey. She's my Elixir Assistant."
Lindsey immediately relaxed and said, "My name is Lindsey Hardin. You are Sofia? Darryl mentioned you frequently." Thanks to Darryl, Lindsey felt relatively close to Sofia.
When he saw the two of them get along so well, Darryl chuckled and said to Lindsey, "From now on, you'll stay in the Elixir Sector with Sofia."
Lindsey nodded obediently.
"Great." Sofia was delighted. She held Lindsey's hand tightly and said, "I'll have company in the future." She had been lonely when she assisted Darryl at the Elixir Sector. She was excited about her new friend.
'This girl's last name is Hardin?'
Cormac, who was standing nearby, stared at Lindsey and frowned.
'Is she related to the Heavenly Secret Palace that had collapsed?'
There were only a few Hardins on the Cryolet Continent. The Heavenly Secret Palace, which once flourished within the community, was the most famous. However, they had been destroyed for a thousand years and no longer existed.
Cormac could not help but wonder about that. "Darryl, that girl is—"
Darryl chuckled and said, mysteriously, before Cormac could finish his sentence, "She has a unique identity. Don't worry, Master. I'll meet with the Palace Master. Then I'll reveal who she is."
Cormac decided not to pursue further and directed Darryl and the others toward the main hall.
The Palace Master was seated quietly on the throne in the main hall. Her looming curves were alluring, and she looked charming in a gorgeous long gown. A few female disciples stood on both sides, including Gigi.
Gigi was still troubled by the incident at the North Sea Galaxy. Until then, she had assumed Darryl was the one with bad intentions toward her that night.
Gigi never mentioned it to anyone, but her impression of Darryl deeply buried her heart.
"Right!" Suddenly, the Palace Master remembered something and asked Darryl, "Sofia returned that day and informed you that two Heavenly Ocean Sect disciples caused trouble for you. What happened?"
'Er…' Darryl scratched his head awkwardly and laughed. "It was nothing. It was just a minor misunderstanding." Then, he could not help but look at Gigi.
'Looks like she was too embarrassed. It looks like she did not say anything about the incident at the North Sea Galaxy.'
When the Palace Master realized it was a misunderstanding, she was relieved, but she still growled, "The Heavenly Ocean Sect disciples were too disrespectful. How could they bother you despite knowing you're the head of the Elixir Sector?"
Immediately, Cormac said, "That's right. Those Heavenly Ocean Sect disciples have been getting more arrogant over the past two years. They are too boastful."
