Momentarily stunned to hear that, Fayth quickly snapped out of it before saying, “…Elaborate.”
“As she was heading to Heavenstar Town to get medicinal herbs, she was assaulted by a few men from the Whitehaar Abbey! Had I not stepped in to save her, your sect would’ve surely received a major loss in the form of your chief disciple!” explained Gerald.
Eyes widened, Fayth then turned to look at Zianne before asking, “Does he speak the truth?”
“He does! The assailants were Johnny and four of his Whitehaar Abbey friends! If you need proof, just have a look at the wounds they inflicted on me! Regardless, it was I who invited Warrior Crawford over to show my appreciation for saving me! Even so, I know I’ve done wrong, so do punish me if you feel the need to!” replied Zianne.
Hearing that, Fayth immediately calmed down before walking over to Zianne and helping her up…
Turning their backs to Gerald, Fayth then slid Zianne’s clothes off—up till her shoulders—before realizing that there really was a bruise there. Zianne had been telling the truth!
Now that she realized this, Fayth instantly growled, “I recognize this bruise pattern… It was caused by a Dark Cloud Palm attack, an attack that’s exclusively used by those Whitehaar b*stards!”
Breathing a sigh of relief now that she knew that her master believed her, Zianne took the chance to hand Fayth the medicinal herbs—that she had stored safely in the inner layer of her clothes—before saying, “Speaking of which… here are the herbs you told me to buy, master!”
Nodding in response, Fayth then replied, “Thank you… Regardless, since you’ve already suffered enough, there won’t be any additional punishments! Come with me… and you as well, kind warrior! We’ll have a talk inside!”
Fayth, for one, wasn’t an unreasonable person, and she made sure to cast apologetic gazes at both Zianne and Gerald.
After hearing what their master had to say, the other disciples immediately began leaving the scene, though a few stayed to help Yoona up.
“Don’t worry about it, Madam. I was only doing what was right. There was just no way I could ignore the fact that five men were attacking a single woman!” replied Gerald rather modestly.
“Speaking of which, could you perhaps be a foreigner…? After all, from your speech patterns and the way you look, you don’t seem to be a local… In fact, it feels like you don’t even come from our world! I wonder if I’m right about that…” asked Fayth.
“Well… let’s just say that I come from a far-off land!” replied Gerald with a chuckle.
“I see… Whatever the case is, I have to admit that your skills are astounding… Could I know who your master is…?” said Fayth who seemed to be trying to investigate further into his background.
After all, how had such a young man attained such a high level of cultivation?
