For a brief moment, the atmosphere on the huge ship was extremely solemn; all the disciples held their breath.
Finally, after ten seconds, Diana chuckled. She looked at Darryl and said, “Darren, if you don’t want to be my disciple, then we wouldn’t be related at all. If so, why would I give you a boat?”
Then, her face paled. “I can tell you that we are more than ten thousand kilometers away from the mainland. Even if you are a Martial Saint, you would only last halfway if you were to fly back. You might die from starvation or drowning. Your only chance to survive this island is to be my disciple.”
‘How stingy of her!’
‘I was only asking for a boat. It’s fine if she doesn’t want to give it to me as I’ve refused to be her disciple. Why would she try to scare me?’
However, Diana was right. The mainland was more than ten thousand kilometers away from the island, so it was impossible for him to fly back with Yvette and the Empress in two.
Darryl had a Rocky, but the creature had been badly injured during the fierce battle in the Royal City.
It seemed like Darryl had no choice! He would have to agree to be the woman’s disciple so that he could leave the deserted island! Darryl bowed to the woman. “Disciple Darren pays homage to Master.”
Diana nodded with satisfaction. “Very well.”
“Kneel! Don’t you know the rules?”
Suddenly, a voice echoed from behind him as a handsome male disciple appeared and drove a kick into Darryl’s knee.
Thump!
Darryl fell on his knees uncontrollably.
Darryl was piqued. He turned his head around and saw a male disciple behind him; he stood there with his arms folded, and he looked proud.
The man seemed to be around 25 or 26 years old. He was handsome, and he looked like he had a good temperament. He was Diana’s most senior disciple, Harvey Wave.
Darryl clenched his fists tightly. He was the Elysium Gate’s Sect Master; he felt aggrieved when he was forced to be Diana’s disciple. He was even more upset when he had to suffer indignity from Diana’s disciple as well! If he were alone, Darryl would not have tolerated Harvey’s brash attitude, but he could only suppress the anger in him when he thought of Yvette and the Empress.
‘Forget it. I’ll just kneel since I’m paying homage to a master.’
Darryl sighed as he processed his thoughts. “Please accept my homage to you, Master. I’ve never been involved in the cultivation world, so I don’t know the rules. Please accept my apology.”
Diana finally cracked a smile after Darryl knelt in front of her.
“You have to kneel three times and kowtow nine times,” Harvey commented disapprovingly. Then he continued to say coldly, “Do you think it’s all over after you’ve only knelt once? Are you kidding?”
“Harvey,” Diana interrupted Harvey as she looked at Darryl with a smile. “He said that he doesn’t know the rules because he hasn’t been involved in the cultivation world. Don’t be so uptight about it.”
Diana raised her hand, and Darryl felt a gentle force lifted him.
