If it were not for him, she would not have been insulted like that.
Diego smiled in response to Khloris' scolding without saying a word.
"Deputy!"
Sienna, who had been standing aside the whole time, finally opened her mouth and said, "Deputy Sect Master, calm down. You can relax if you're truly innocent. Why would anyone slander you if you've done nothing wrong?"
Sienna had spoken with a smile on her face, but her eyes sparkled with malice.
Sienna had always loved Diego, and she even gave herself to him. Sienna had always been envious of Khloris because she knew that Diego had always admired Khloris instead of her.
Of course, when Sienna had the chance to slander Khloris, she would cling to it for dear life.
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Khloris was extremely displeased at Sienna's pretentious tone as she said, "You don't have to beat around the bush. Say what you want to say."
The entire room fell into an awkward silence. The rest of the disciples stared at Sienna in disbelief.
Senior Sister Sienna must have lost it. Why would she question and disrespect the Deputy?
Sienna smiled casually even though she sensed the doubtful gazes. "Deputy Sect Master, please don't be angry at me. I was just trying to understand why you had to take a shower before seeing Dart to give him advice. Wasn't that an appointment with him?"
Khloris took a deep breath and contemplated before she said, "There was no appointment. I did tell him that if he had any questions, he could come to me anytime. I did not expect him to come at this hour."
Khloris was intelligent. She managed to answer all of Sienna's questions with just two sentences.
Khloris thought Sienna would stop there.
She was wrong.
Sienna's mouth curved into a treacherous smile. "Whoa, you must truly love your disciples, allowing them to come to you for advice anytime."
Sienna paused for a second before she continued to say, "I'm just curious, though. Since Dart is just a named disciple, and according to our rules, he has no right to come into the Sword Tower, how exactly did he manage to get in?"
Khloris' face twitched, breaking her calm demeanor.
She answered after pausing for a brief moment. "I gave him my token."
