As he spoke, Prince Auten rushed forward, held Master Jade's body in his arms, and cried, "Sect Master, don't frighten me. Wake up, wake up!"
He sobbed, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Prince Auten was a cunning man. He was well aware that if he came up to blame Darryl like Wolfgang, he would undoubtedly be suspected, so he pretended to be unaware of the situation.
Prince Auten delivered an excellent performance. The other disciples' hearts grew heavier as they saw his sad face.
Darryl and Jewel both sighed, dejected.
"Sect Master Darby!"
After crying for a while, Prince Auten looked up at Darryl and asked, "What's going on? What happened to Sect Master?"
Alas!
Darryl sighed and said, "Master Jade was poisoned. It happened too suddenly. I wanted to save him, but it was too late."
Then he told Auten what had happened in detail.
Darryl did not know that Graham was Prince Auten, and what had just happened was all his doing.
Prince Auten nodded in silence.
"Graham!"
Wolfgang, who was standing nearby, shouted in grief and anger, "Darryl is a hypocrite. Don't believe him. He is the murderer. He killed Sect Master."
All the other disciples nodded in agreement.
That Wolfgang was not bad.
Prince Auten could not help but feel excited when he heard that. He could save himself a lot of trouble if he had such a person.
However, Prince Auten pretended to be unhappy. He stood up and scolded Wolfgang, "Sect Master Darby is a hero in the Nine Mainland. He is an upright man. How could he do such a shameless thing?"
