As Laurel spoke, she could not help but tilt her head and look in the main hall's direction with a peculiar twinkle in her eyes. She said emotionally, "How nice would it be if I'm like Senior Sister, and I could muster my courage to speak to Sect Master Darby?"
'Ah…' Darryl found himself flustered by Laurel's sincere confession. 'Seems like she's also an admirer of mine.'
Darryl grinned and said, "Actually, there's no need to be nervous. Though Darryl is well-known throughout the Nine Mainland, he's not aloof and unapproachable."
"Is that true?" asked Laurel as she thought to herself.
Darryl nodded. "Of course! You're inexplicably nervous because you couldn't see Sect Master Darby's face. When he takes off his gold mask, you'd realize that he's actually very easygoing."
Darryl had thought about it. 'Given my current condition, it'd be difficult for me to expose the impersonator. Why don't I just use Laurel? Once the gold mask is taken off, the identity of the impersonator would then be exposed.'
"You…" Laurel felt hesitant upon seeing how serious Darryl was. "Why do you know Sect Master Darby so well?"
'Heh.' Darryl secretly chuckled. 'I'm Darryl Darby. Of course, I know myself well.'
"My Master and Sect Master Darby are close friends," replied Darryl, scratching his head, "so it's only natural that I know him."
After that, Laurel did not think further. She frowned and said, "How would I be able to see Sect Master Darby without his mask?"
Darryl laughed and said meaningfully, "We have to think of a way…"
"We're here!" At that moment, Laurel pointed at the oriental-styled tower in front of them and smiled. "This is Mount Hua's elixir warehouse. There are many inner cores of the enchanted beast. Darren, just take however much you need."
Darryl happily followed Laurel in and started picking the inner core of the enchanted beast.
…
At Mount Hua's main hall.
Salvatore secretly sighed in relief after seeing Darryl being brought out of the main hall. 'Tch. The trouble-making dude is finally gone. I won't be able to stand it if he were to stay any longer.'
Then, seeing the sunset outside the main hall, Salvatore cleared his throat and smiled at Levi. "Sect Master Schwaznero, have you thought about the Bloodwing Battlegear?"
