When Olive looked in the mirror, she realized that the marking on her face had faded significantly. Her skin had also become bright and glowy.
That was amazing!
Olive stared at Darryl in a daze and asked, "The ointment you've been working the past few days was for me? It's to remove the marking on my face?"
Olive was not stupid. She realized that what Darryl had done for the past few days was all for her.
"That's right!"
Darryl smiled and answered firmly, "Olive, you're a kind woman. You've saved my life in the forest, and I'll be grateful for it forever. Removing the marking on your face is the least I could do to pay you back."
Darryl pointed at the packets of medicine next to him. "These are all the medicines that I've made. Mix them with water to turn them into a pasty ointment. Lather it on your face every day for the next couple of weeks, and the marking on your face will be gone completely."
"Dart—"
Olive was moved by Darryl's words and actions that her eyes were watery. She could not utter anything else other than his name.
Darryl looked at her with a pleasant expression. "Olive, you'll be the prettiest woman within the Sword Sec without the marking. You should be happy. Why are you crying?"
"Dart!"
Olive could not hold it in any longer. She threw herself into Darryl's arms and said, "You're too good to me!"
Olive held onto Darryl tightly without feeling flustered like she did the previous day. All she had for Darryl was gratitude and admiration.
Darryl sighed in relief as he patted lightly on Olive's shoulder. "You've always been like a little sister to me, Olive. Come on now, wipe your tears. You won't be pretty anymore if you cry.
"Also, there's something else I need to tell you. I'm leaving tomorrow."
Darryl was sad and reluctant, but he could not stay with the Sword Sect forever. He successfully produced a new fairy soul after gathering the Red Lotus Fayette power the previous night.
What?
Olive let go of Darryl instantly upon hearing that. She looked at him, stunned and dejected. "You're leaving the Sword Sect? But Master had already taken you in as a disciple."
