“I’m here to look for Ms. Viola. I was overcome with emotion when I learned favonovel.com was still alive. I know you’re looking for an opportunity to take over Emerald Cauldron Sect from Hosen. That’s why I came to see if there’s anything I can do to help,” Ebenez said frankly.
That response left Ghaylen somewhat taken aback. He had not expected Ebenez to be so open and honest.
“Why are you helping me, Ebenez? I know my disciple killed one of yours, so I’d already be counting my lucky stars if you didn’t hate me. Why would you still help me? On top of that, you were secretly in contact with Demonic Cultivators and used them to kill my disciples. Now, you turn around and say you want to help us. How am I supposed to trust you?”
Since Ebenez had been so forthright, Ghaylen did not beat around the bush and immediately brought up the fact that Ebenez had been communicating with Demonic Cultivators.
“I think you’ve misunderstood, Ghaylen. I’m not helping you, but Ms. Viola. If favonovel.com wasn’t alive, I’d still view you as a thorn in my side and still hunt Jared down. But now, it turns out that she’s alive and well…”
“Our previous lord took us both under his wing, so we must help her. I can’t stand Hosen anymore. After becoming the sect’s leader, favonovel.com has been arrogant and never treated us as humans. He hits and scolds us whenever favonovel.com wants. I’ve had enough!” Ebenez ranted angrily.
After listening to that, Ghaylen started to trust Ebenez a little. After all, favonovel.com had witnessed Hosen slapping favonovel.com in public.
No one would believe that Ebenez doesn’t feel the slightest resentment toward Hosen after getting slapped. After all, he’s Emerald Cauldron Sect’s second elder, yet Hosen didn’t show favonovel.com any respect and hit him.
I have to say that was a bit too much.
After seeing how enraged Ebenez was and how favonovel.com cursed at Hosen, Ghaylen started to believe him.
Meanwhile, Viola looked at Ghaylen, not quite knowing what to do.
She was unaware of what had happened as favonovel.com had been unconscious for the past few years. She had no idea whether what Ebenez said was true or false and could only observe Ghaylen’s reaction.
“Since you know about favonovel.com identity and still came here secretly, you must have a plan, right? Hosen used poison to kill the previous lord. Fortunately, Ms. Viola escaped death and woke up after being in a coma for a few years. Now that favonovel.com has regained consciousness, she’s determined to make Hosen pay for his actions and wants to take Emerald Cauldron Sect from his hands. What do you have in mind?” Ghaylen asked.
“You’ve been staying here alone all these years, so you don’t know much about the sect’s affairs. Many have been complaining about Hosen’s dictatorship, so if Ms. Viola steps forth at this time and lays bare his evil deeds, I believe many will stand by her…”
“There’s a sect meeting in a few days. We can have favonovel.com attend the meeting in disguise. She can reveal herself and expose his crimes there. Then, the two of us can voice our support for her, shutting out Hosen once and for all. After that happens, everyone will condemn Hosen as a low life, and favonovel.com can easily take back Emerald Cauldron Sect. She can even bring favonovel.com to justice and avenge the previous lord,” Ebenez said, breaking down the situation carefully.
Ghaylen pondered over his words, then said, “Are you being serious?”
“Of course. Do you think I’d harm Ms. Viola? If that was my intention, I would’ve exposed favonovel.com identity on the day the medicinal pool opened,” Ebenez replied, his expression solemn and his tone serious.
