Darryl looked at Hans quietly and joked, "What do you mean? Have you met many people pretending to be me?"
‘He’s Darryl! For real!’ Hans panicked and kept bowing to Darryl.
"Sir, Sect Master Darby, I was wrong to have not recognized you. I hope you’ll forgive me for having offended you just now."
When Darryl disappeared in the Wild Deserted Secret Region, many con artists three years ago tried to pretend to be Darryl in many places. Hans had encountered a few of them before.
However, Hans had been in the cultivator’s world for so many years, so he knew how to observe a person’s mood and behavior. He was certain that the man in front of him was the real Darryl as he carried an extraordinary temperament that was difficult to fake.
Hans apologized and quickly handed the white bear skin to Stella.
He thought that Stella was very beautiful and she was probably Darryl's woman. He felt apologetic for lying to her, so he wanted to give her the white bear skin to make things right!
Stella hesitated but accepted it in the end. She was surprised that Hans was quite smart.
Darryl's expression eased up and he said to Hans, "You must do good for the people in the future and don't cheat people anymore, alright?"
Hans nodded repeatedly. "I got it. I’ll remember your words!"
Hans’s accomplices were no longer arrogant like before and also nodded and bowed to Darryl. The Scope brothers came back to their senses and surrounded Darryl excitedly.
"Haha! So you’re Darryl!"
"Brother-in-law, you’ve been missing for three years! Do you know how much our little sister has missed you?"
"We haven’t seen you in a long time; we gotta get drunk tonight and you’ll have to treat…”
Stella blushed when she saw her Senior Brothers were being silly again. She was speechless and embarrassed; she wanted to scold her brothers but held back because Darryl was next to them.
Darryl smiled when he heard the four Scope brothers' silly conversations. He smiled and nodded. "I am also very happy to see you all. Let’s have a drink as you’ve suggested.”
