Darryl's voice was almost a whisper as he spoke, and only he and Khloris could hear it. He was also quietly observing the change in Khloris' expressions and he felt a little nervous. It was hard for him to not panic.
There was an undeniable animosity between the Sword Sect and Ford. When Ford was trapped under the cliff, he was ambushed by the Sword Sect and the Elixir Sect.
As Ford's disciple, how could he not be nervous when he revealed his true identity in front of the Deputy Sect Master of the Sword Sect?
Khloris trembled as her delicate face was full of shock. Did she hear him wrong? This man in front of her was Darryl? The Darryl Darby? The well-known leader of the Elysium Gate in the Nine Mainland, Darryl?
Shock flashed in her eyes, and something clicked in her head. It was said that at the bottom of the cliff, Darryl met the Sword Devil, Ford South, and obtained his unrivaled sword technique, the Celestial Swordsmanship. It was no wonder her achievements in sword fighting were no match for his.
With this in mind, Khloris became more alert and she asked in a low voice, "Darryl, what are you doing in the Sword Sect?"
Although Ford had been dead for many years, the old grudges still lingered on. As Ford's disciple, Darryl had disguised himself and sneaked into the Sword Sect. Khloris felt that he had an ulterior motive. Maybe he came here to avenge Ford.
She thought that the mark on his face was just make-up as part of his disguise, and she did not know that it was an effect of being reborn with the help of the Red Lotus Fayette.
Sensing her doubt, Darryl smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, "Don't be nervous, Khloris. I didn't have any ill intentions when I came to the Sword Sect. As for what really happened, Olive has already said that I was injured at that time, and she saved me.
"I know that my master has a grudge against the Sword Sect. But he passed away many years ago, and I don't want to do anything about his past grudges. It's time for us to move on from the past, right? It's just a coincidence that I came to your sect. I'll leave when my wounds completely recover. Are you okay with that?"
Darryl looked dead serious when he said that. Although he had only met Khloris two times, he firmly believed that she was not a despicable person and would not make things difficult for him.
Khloris breathed a sigh of relief and began to think.
