Everyone, including Khloris, Jedidiah and the elders, was quietly relieved.
They thought the war Lord Kenny Bred rashly launched would cause turmoil in The Nine Mainland again. Since Lord Kenny had died, the hidden danger was eliminated and there was no need to worry about the turmoil spreading to the Great East.
Then, Khloris put on a smile on her arrogant face and complimented Olive, "Oh, very good! Olive, you did well. The journey must have been tough. You should go get some rest."
As she spoke, she looked at Olive with tenderness. Almost everyone in the Sword Sect would stay away from Olive because of the birthmarks on her face, except Khloris, who favored her as a disciple.
"Okay!" Olive nodded and stood up. However, instead of walking out of the main hall immediately, she blinked as she was hesitant to speak.
At that moment, Jedidiah, who had been sitting silently, could not help but ask, "Olive, is there something else you want to tell us?"
He sounded calm, but he looked impatient.
The elders, who were sitting to the side, frowned too. 'Olive didn't leave immediately after reporting to us. Where are her manners?'
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Olive pursed her lips and mustered her courage. "Sect Master, on my way back here, I ran into a pitiful man. He's severely injured and couldn't walk. So, I… I brought him back here."
Then, she looked at Khloris, "Sect Master, Master, that man is pitiful. Please help him."
'Huh?' Immediately, everyone in the main hall exclaimed. The elders pointed at Olive as they discussed among themselves.
"Olive is being nonsensical."
"How could she casually bring outsiders back here?"
