Florian nodded and continued, “I have a suggestion. Business people like us in Donghai City should get together and demolish all of Darryl’s resources in the city.” Upon hearing this, everyone seemed delighted. Jeremy Langley was the first to stand up and agree. “Exactly! We can’t give him any way to get back on his feet.” Darryl came to ruin his wedding, and Jeremy wanted him to pay for it. Others joined in, showing their support, too. “Yeah, there are so many families here. Once we all get together, how hard can it be to destroy his company?” “Haha! Without his powerful resources to back him up, Darryl won’t be able to get back on his feet!” “Yeah! Even when he comes back to Donghai City, he won’t cultivate anyway without money. He’ll be useless!” The crowd laughed together, delighted by their plan. Master Reed let out a sigh and looked at Timothy Langley. “So, is this wedding still happening today?” Upon hearing his words, everyone became silent. ‘Yeah, was the
After being charmed by the sight of the magnificent building, Darryl could not help ask in awe, “Godfather, is this the Carter mansion? It’s huge; it’s mag-” Before he could finish his words, he felt a burning pain in his heart. He spat out more blood, and his sight went black as he fainted instantly. Abbess Mother Serendipity attacked him with all her might. Luckily Darryl was wearing his Celestial Silkworm Armor. Even then, his arteries and veins were all broken, as well as his organs. Darryl had used up all his will power to stay awake on the way here, but now that they had arrived, he could no longer hold it any longer. “Darryl!” Zoran called out in a panic. With Darryl in his arms, he rushed to the main hall. The Carter mansion was divided into the inner court and outer court. The outer court was used to host guests, while the inner court was where the family cultivated. No outsiders, even the most honorable guests, were allowed to enter this area without being invited by
The two women were extraordinarily gorgeous and were currently playing in the water like ethereal fairies.Darryl ogled them. ‘Godfather mentioned that he had two daughters. Could this be them?’ The two ladies playing in the water were indeed Zoran Carter’s daughters. The older one, Rachel Carter, was sexy and attractive, while Sara, the younger sister, was cute and adorable. They were both equally charming.As Darryl continued staring at them, a few maidservants screamed. “Wh-who are you?”The two sisters noticed Darryl’s presence and blushed in embarrassment. Although they were covered, playing in the water did not help much as it made their clothes stick to their body. Rachel was partly ashamed and partly furious. She pointed at Darryl as her voice trembled while she spoke, “Who the hell are you? Leave at once!”This creepy man looked like a beggar covered in blood. They were disgusted by Darryl’s gawking.Sara, on the other hand, was more curious. She cocked her head and
Darryl was not spewing nonsense. He had scanned the surroundings of the pond, and the Feng Shui was not right.A few maids giggled at Darryl’s observation.“Darryl? Did you know that Finnegan Nicholson, the Feng Shui master, specially designed this yard?” Rachel snickered.Finnegan Nicholson was a great Feng Shui master in the fifties. The entire Carter Mansion, including the pond, was specifically designed by him. Yet, Darryl mentioned that the Feng Shui of the pond was not great? What nonsense is that? Darryl laughed and said, “Yes, you’re right. According to Feng Shui, the pond is in a great place.” He continued to calmly explain, “However, the pond is considered a Yin-Yang pond. The north side of the pond receives a great deal of sunlight; hence it’s considered the Yang side, whereas the south is constantly under a shade, making it the Yin side. When Finnegan Nicholson designed the pond, it was meant to balance the Yin and Yang—it was a Feng Shui pond, to put it precisely. So,
“What did you say? I dare you to say it again,” Rachel’s Internal Energy exploded from her. It was so strong it almost crushed Darryl. She was a Level Four Master General! Being at such a high level at such a young age, she was considered a genius.Darryl could not breathe. Abbess Mother Serendipity totally destroyed his powers. As of now, he was only an ordinary human.Sara got out of the pond and tugged at Rachel. “Stop it. Why did you have to do that?”Darryl was great, in Sara’s eyes. If it were not for him, Rachel could have died, and he was right about the pond’s Feng Shui! At noon, Rachel went back to her room to change before she headed to the study.Zoran was reading old manuals in the study as he was anxiously trying to find a way to help Darryl regain his powers.Rachel approached her father and said, “Dad, why did you bring Darryl here?”Thinking about him made her mad! Zoran looked at Rachel and said, “He’s my godson, and he was hurt badly. Of course, it makes se
’Ewan White was here?’ Rachel wondered.She was surprised as she quickly said, “Dad, I’ll come with you.”Ewan White was Ophelia Lane’s disciple. He was also from the famous White family in Mid City.Ewan and Rachel were good friends, and she liked him a lot as she felt he was charming.Ophelia was seated on the sofa, an epitome of grace with her alluring body. Ewan, her disciple, stood behind her in a suit, looking extremely dapper.Ewan has been Ophelia’s follower for almost four to five years and was quite skilled in producing elixirs.“Ewan!” Rachel greeted him happily. “It’s great to see you! We’ve not seen each other for ages. I’ve been almost bored to death!”Ewan laughed. “I’ve been busy! But here I am!”Ophelia smiled. She thought that Ewan and Rachel were a match made in heaven.Zoran walked over and greeted Ophelia, “Welcome to our humble abode.”The Jiangnan Elixir Association was an influential force in the world of cultivators, especially Ophelia Lane. She was
Zoran nodded and laughed, “It seems like you know my godson too! I have decided that Rachel should marry him.”Ewan White was not bad as well, but he is no Darryl Darby.Rachel finally could not take it. She stomped her feet and said, “Dad, I’ve told you. I will not marry him! I like Ewan! Not that live-in son-in-law!” Rachel held Ewan’s arm tight.“Nonsense!” Zoran reprimanded. “How could you disobey your father’s decision! Marriage is not a matter of choice for you.”Rachel panicked. She bit her lip and said, “Dad, I don’t understand. What good is Darryl? If you think he’s a genius, let him have a competition with Ewan and see who’s the better one among the two. If Darryl wins, I’ll listen to you. But if Ewan wins, you’ll let me marry him.”Zoran was silent. He did not expect his daughter to propose such a deal. Darryl has lost all his powers. How could he compete with Ewan? He was handicapped.Ophelia chimed in, “Zoran, since Rachel proposed this, why not let them try it out.”
Rachel snickered, “Anything? Then we’ll compete in producing elixirs.”No matter what, Darryl has to lose. Her father said that Darryl knew how to produce elixirs, but how could this loser beat Ewan? As long as Ewan wins, she could marry him.“Sure,” Darryl shrugged.Ophelia smiled. Darryl’s performance in the previous Elixir Competition was outstanding. He was indeed a rare talent. However, compared to Ewan, he was miles behind.They left and entered the elixir production room. The Carter’s elixir production room was the most professional one in Mid City and contained not only assorted cauldrons but also rare herbs and ingredients.When they reached the room, Darryl heard someone calling him from afar. “Darryl!” Sara approached him. She was wearing a cute yellow dress, looking very bubbly. She was too excited as she said, “I didn’t know you knew how to produce elixirs! You’re amazing. Can I stay next to you and watch?”Though she only met him today, Sara felt a genuine connect
