'Haha…'
Darryl was amused when he saw the two sisters' expressions.
However, he decided to cut it off when he was reminded of his mission. He told the sisters, "I have something to do, so please stay here. I'll talk to you when I'm back from the Holy Saint Sect."
Darryl was about to go up the mountain.
What?
Suddenly, something caught Darryl's attention. His eyes landed on Jackie's waist.
The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?
Darryl had sensed the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda's spiritual power permeating from Jackie's waist. As the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda's owner, Darryl trusted his judgment.
"You—"
Jackie was flustered when she noticed his gaze. "What do you want?"
Darryl grinned and slowly approached Jackie. "You stole my Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda three years ago. Shouldn't you return it to me now?"
Darryl was elated.
Initially, he had complained that Jackie's ambush was a waste of his time. He did not expect the pleasant surprise.
"The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is not with me. It was left behind at the Endless Sky Organization Altar when Zhang Jue schemed against me!" Jackie's eyes flickered, and she said as she bit her lips, "Go find Zhang Jue if you want it back!"
Jackie looked firm, but her heart was pounding.
Darryl was right; Jackie did have the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda with her.
When Zhang Jue plotted against her, she had to leave the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda at the Endless Sky Organization. Zhang Jue had given the pagoda to Karen for safekeeping. Then, Jackie had regained control over the Endless Sky Organization half a day ago; she got the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda back from Karen.
Jackie thought that no one would ever find out after she kept the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda's aura hidden. She was astonished that Darryl could sense it nonetheless.
