The two female disciples returned, and one of them held the Detox Pill.
"Deputy Sect Master! Here's the Detox Pill." The female disciple with the pill walked toward Khloris and said politely as she passed her the pill.
Khloris nodded as she reached out to accept the medicine.
"Hold up."
A figure flashed before them quickly and took the pill off her hand. His lips curved into a half-smile. It was Diego.
"What was that for?" Khloris was shocked and angry as she frowned and glared at Diego.
Darryl paused as his brows knitted together.
'What is Diego up to this time?' he thought.
"Diego!"
Jedidiah finally snapped to his senses as he glared at Diego and yelled at him, "What was that all about? Give the medicine back to the Deputy Sect Master."
Jedidiah was furious that Diego was messing around.
Did he not notice how weak the Deputy was?
The rest of the disciples stared at Diego in confusion. Everyone thought that he was messing around.
"Master!"
Diego did not panic under everyone's pressure. He smiled and said, "I think today's incident was not as simple as we thought."
Jedidiah paused for a second before he asked, "What do you mean?"
Diego chuckled lightly as he stepped forward and pointed at Khloris. "First thing first, Deputy lives in the Sword Tower, a forbidden area. Not anyone could walk in and out as they wished, yet Dart just wandered in this late at night. How is that not suspicious?
"Secondly, he said he was here for some training advice, which made even less sense to me. Why does he have to do it at this hour instead of during the day?"
The rest of the disciples nodded in agreement.
"What Diego said made complete sense."
"Right! Who would come here at this hour for mere advice?"
