Olivia Smith’s way of doing things was very similar to David Smith—very careful and cautious, or perhaps one could say timid. But the more cautious he was, the more meticulous his thoughts became, and the more he considered.

Seeing Ethan Clark act this way, Olivia Smith secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Ever since Master woke up after being injured this time, he had become completely different from before. Not only could he now use lightning—a special attack method that only appeared in legends—but he had also instantly killed Matthew Cooper, who was at the late stage of the Airborne Realm.

Even stranger was his personality, as if... as if he had become a different person.

Although they had gotten into trouble again, at least Second Junior Sister’s issue was resolved. Now, being able to stabilize the situation like this was actually quite beyond Olivia Smith’s expectations.

It seemed that ever since Master regained consciousness, whatever he did was completely beyond Olivia Smith’s comprehension.

“Yushan Olivia Smith, may I ask what brings Senior Henry Reed here?” While thinking, Olivia Smith stepped forward to greet her. Although Henry Reed had announced her arrival in the courtyard, she didn’t stop; by the time Olivia Smith went to welcome her, she had already come straight in.

Henry Reed was the daughter of the Emei Sect leader Samuel Reed, and was a disciple of the same generation as Ethan Clark and the others. Although they were of the same generation, their statuses were vastly different. Wherever David Smith went with his disciples, they were met with cold stares, while Henry Reed was always greeted with smiles.

“Where is your master?” She really didn’t know what David Smith was thinking. He was just a mid-stage Airborne cultivator, yet he had taken on so many disciples. Even more ridiculous, some of his disciples were actually stronger than he was. If Yushan hadn’t recently issued a new sect rule forbidding disciples below the Nascent Soul stage from freely accepting or teaching disciples, he probably would have continued.

It seemed that this rule was changed just because of him.

Although Henry Reed was asking Olivia Smith, her gaze and footsteps didn’t pause as she stepped into the room and looked inside.

“Master is still recovering from his injuries...”

“Is that so? Injured? Let me see if I can help.” Henry Reed was suspicious and determined to get to the bottom of it. Olivia Smith wanted to stop her, but couldn’t.

“Ah...” Suddenly, Henry Reed let out a shriek, and a rainbow-like streak shot through the roof and out.

Chapter 5: Setting Out to Save

Olivia Smith stared at the hole in the roof made by Henry Reed, watching her fly away on her sword. What just happened? Henry Reed was completely different from Matthew Cooper before. She was the daughter of Samuel Reed of the Emei Sect, and already at the Nascent Soul stage—a high level among the younger generation.

What’s more, with such a good father, the things she carried couldn’t be bad. As the saying goes, “To do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools”—magical treasures were also an important part of combat power.

What did Master do to scare off this young lady Henry Reed? The first time they met, she hadn’t even looked at them directly. Although she tried hard to hold it in, you could still see the smile she couldn’t suppress at the corners of her mouth. Toward them, this young lady seemed to have only ridicule, as if watching clowns.

“Ah...” When Olivia Smith looked toward the bed, he was startled as well.

“Master...” Olivia Smith turned to look at the now-awake Ethan Clark, pointing at John Smith on the bed, who was left wearing only underwear: “What’s this?”

“I didn’t expect your Fourth Junior Brother’s physique to be so lethal. Boss, hurry up and get your Fourth Junior Brother dressed, then call Second and Sixth to meet me in the main hall.” As Ethan Clark spoke, he was already walking out.

Although this was the cultivation world, overall thinking was still in sync with the current secular world, which was in the feudal era and not very open. Of course, such little tricks wouldn’t work on the old hands, but for a young lady like Henry Reed from a cultivation sect, it was still quite effective.

It was just that her reaction was a bit more extreme than Ethan Clark had expected. He had only taken off John Smith’s shirt and pants, leaving him in his underwear, and she still couldn’t handle it. If Fourth was wearing modern swimwear or bodybuilding briefs, who knows what she would have done.

Second and Sixth, calling me Boss!!

It was the first time Olivia Smith had heard Master address them like this, and it felt quite novel. He glanced at John Smith, who was still lying there unconscious.

Since Master woke up this time, he really had changed a lot. Such... “peculiar”... methods could actually... come to mind.

Ethan Clark went alone to the main hall and sat down. He had originally wanted to deal with Henry Reed, who had surely come because of the earlier battle at Qingming Mountain.

Fortunately, she hadn’t really seen or caught any evidence, or it wouldn’t have been as simple as just coming to take a look.

But then Ethan Clark thought again—no, Third and Fifth are still in Misty Town, their fate unknown. The situation in Misty Town was very strange. At first, it was just an ordinary town, but half a year ago, one day, it was suddenly shrouded in thick fog.

Since then, no one had come out of the town. Misty Town was just in a remote area, so at first, the local officials from the secular world sent people to investigate. But whether it was constables or soldiers, none of them came back out, not even the wild animals sent in.

Gradually, the rumors became more and more sinister, and they started inviting so-called experts in demon-slaying and exorcism from the secular world, but the results were the same.
