Darryl looked at his surroundings as he thought to himself when his gaze finally landed on Jedidiah. He said calmly, "That is a misunderstanding. I came here to talk about some important matters with my master. I have no intentions of harming her."
Darryl looked at Khloris and said, "Isn't that right, Master?"
Darryl was anxious. If Khloris refused to believe him, it would be troublesome.
When she felt Darryl's sincerity and anxiety, Khloris exhaled and uttered weakly, "That's right, Dart is here to discuss some matter regarding training."
Khloris felt a myriad of emotions as well.
Darryl had injured Khloris just moments ago. She should have been angry at him. However, when she saw Jedidiah and the rest, she was reluctant to tell the truth.
Dart's real identity was Darryl—hero of the Nine Mainland, leader of the Elysium Gate. If his identity were exposed, Jedidiah and the rest would not let him off easily. The whole Sword Sect altar would turn into utter chaos.
Most importantly, if she were to admit that Darryl did try to assault her, she would be deemed impure and would never be able to show her face as the Deputy Sect Master ever again.
Khloris struggled silently and eventually decided to lie about it.
Training?
Jedidiah, Diego, Sienna, and the rest of the disciples frowned when they heard that.
If that were the case, everyone had misunderstood Dart.
A few seconds later, Jedidiah and the rest snapped back to their senses, but they seemed doubtful.
Diego and Sienna looked at each other and sneered in silence.
They knew that Khloris was lying since she refused to look anyone in the eyes when she said that.
"Deputy Sect Master."
Jedidiah asked Khloris with uncertainty, "Since it was just a discussion regarding training, why are you heavily injured?"
