Finally, Conner snapped back to his senses; he put his fists together to greet Darryl and smiled. "Sect Master Darby, your arrival brings pride and honor to the Green Cloud Sect."
After he spoke, Melody walked forward and said, "Father, Master is facing some problem. Zhang Jue had set a trap and harmed the Carter family; we must help him."
Melody shared the entire situation in detail.
'Father is back. If he is willing to help, Master may not need to leave so soon.'
That…
Conner's face looked incredibly awkward.
The next second, Conner forced a smile and said, "I did not expect Zhang Jue to be so deviant. Sect Master Darby, please stay here and let me give it some thoughts."
"Thank you, Sect Master Yoel." Darryl nodded.
Darryl did not want to involve Green Cloud Sect in his problem, but Conner had already spoken. Hence, it was not appropriate for him to reject.
Conner did not say anything else. He stepped out of the main hall and headed toward the room at the back.
Camryn saw her husband's weird facial expression, so she followed behind him quickly.
"Conner, what's wrong?"
Camryn asked once she entered the room.
Conner smiled bitterly as he looked at Camry. "My dear, try to guess the name of the Endless Sky Organization's Sect Master who invited me to a banquet?"
"Who?"
"It's Zhang Jue!" Conner replied with conflicted emotions.
What?
Camryn's body trembled; she was utterly stunned.
Conner sat on the chair; he looked worried. "During the dinner, Zhang Jue proposed to take action against the Raksasa Tribe and Darryl. He got us all to sign a contract. Who would have guessed that Darryl would appear on our doorstep and become Melody's master? This is really complicated."
A few minutes later, Conner returned to the main hall.
"Sect Master Darby!"
Conner looked at Darry and smiled as he said, "On my way back, I heard some news about Dax."
Really?
Darryl's eyes lightened up; he was emotional when he said, "Please, Sect Master Yoel, tell me where he is."
Connor smiled. "I have heard about your brotherhood bond with Dax; it is really admirable. I shall send my disciple to check it out. Once we locate Dax, we will bring him here to reunite with you."
Connor looked sincere. "You are a famous warrior, Sect Master Darby, and you are here at the Green Cloud Sect and even accepted my daughter as your apprentice. We are family now; we must drink to celebrate that wonderful news."
When he said the last sentence, Connor's eyes shone with complication.
Conner did not want to threaten Darryl; he wanted him to stay. Then, Conner sent his disciple to deliver the news to Zhang Jue.
