Khloris was shocked and angry as she looked at Sienna coldly.
She never expected Sienna would slander her and even dared to hit her in public.
"How dare you glare at me?"
Sensing Khloris's shock and anger, Sienna's face turned gloomy, and her gaze was cold. "Khloris, you are our Deputy Sect Master, yet you are so indiscreet to meet a man in private at midnight.
"We've caught you, and you still don't admit it?"
Sienna quickly stepped forward and threw another slap at Khloris's face.
That slap was even more brutal. A crisp sound was heard as Khloris let out a muffled grunt, and blood gushed from her lips, staining her long skirt.
Khloris wanted to stand up, but with her hands tied behind her back and her feet injured, she could not exert any strength at all!
"Alright!"
Jedidiah, who was sitting there, could not look away and rushed at Sienna to scold her. "Sienna, how can you be so rude to her? She is our previous Deputy Sect Master. Stand down!"
Jedidiah picked up the cup of tea next to him and took a leisurely sip. Then, he looked at Khloris and asked, "Khloris, things have come to this. What else do you have to hide? You have already violated the sect's rules by meeting a guy in private late at night, and I have already shown you mercy by not killing you immediately.
"You saved me once, so I should not have treated you like that. But I like to keep things separate. If I let you do whatever you want and ask nothing about it, will I still be able to lead our sect in the future?"
Jedidiah's gaze was filled with anticipation at the end of his speech. "Tell me—who is Dart, and what is his relationship with you? Where did he learn his sword technique?"
He did not want to do that as Khloris had saved him all those years ago.
However, he could not show favoritism after such a huge incident the previous night.
Furthermore, the guy with the mark on his face had outstanding sword technique, and Khloris was close to him. She must know something about it.
"Sect Master—"
