Chapter 5040
Sandra's eyebrows shot up at the enigmatic expression on Darryl's face, but she refrained
from asking too many questions and hastily stowed the box before following him.
The entire way, Darryl walked ahead while taking in the view before him with an
expression of ease.
Sandra held the box behind him. Her expression was nothing but sour and worried. The
two made for a sharp contrast.
Quickly enough, they reached the first floor of the Pill Tower.
"Sect Master!"
Sofia was in the middle of talking to someone, and her face lit up at the sight of Darryl
returning as she rushed forward to welcome him. "You're back."
As she spoke, Sofia looked warily behind herself.
A breathtaking figure with exquisite features sat on the chair inside. It was Gigi, whom
Darryl had met at the hot spring the previous day.
The Pill Tower had strict rules, and no one could enter without permission - not even the
Palace Master, let alone Gigi.

However, Sofia and Gigi were good friends. Gigi was closer than a sister to Sofia, and
Darryl was not around. Thus, Sofia had taken the autonomy to have Gigi there to visit.
However, she did not expect Darryl to return while they were chatting. She grew nervous.
At the same time, Gigi scrambled to stand at the sight of Darryl. Her exquisite features
creased into an unnatural expression.
Under the circumstances, Darryl was startled before his face broke into a smile as he
looked at Gigi. "Oh, wow, we've got a rare guest! What news from the Palace Master do
you have for me, Miss Norah?"
As he spoke, he took in the sight of Gigi.
She was clad in a deep purple dress that contrasted against the paleness of her skin
perfectly and highlighted her breathtaking curves. Any man who had their eyes on her
would not be able to look away.
Gigi had initially felt slightly guilty, but under Darryl's unrelenting stare, she immediately
grew annoyed as she said coldly, "The Palace Master doesn't have any news. I just wanted
to have a look around. Is there a problem with that?"
She sounded whiny and frustrated, making her and Darryl look like a pair of squabbling
lovers.
Crap!
Sofia was too young to understand the tension in the air and panicked at seeing Darryl
and Gigi arguing. She turned to look pointedly at Gigi.
Following that, Sofia tugged on Darryl's arm, apologizing on cue. "Don’t be too angry, Sect
Master. It's all my fault; I let Sister Gigi in."
As she spoke, Sofia lowered her head with a shameful expression.
"That's alright." Sofia looked like Jewel whenever she made a mistake.
That made Darryl smile, not finding any further fault with her.
Then, Darryl turned to nod at Gigi. "You can visit anytime. You're more than welcome at
the Pill Tower."
Following that, Darryl's gaze sparkled as his tone turned playful. "Oh, and you can come to
me anytime you need someone to clear your acupoints. I'd be more than happy to help."
Darryl smiled at the thought of what had happened yesterday in the hot spring as he
reminisced the feeling.

Gigi's cheeks flushed scarlet as the words rang through the air. She grew bashful. She
wanted to retaliate but could not as Sofia was there, so she merely glared at Darryl.
That man was far too shameless.
Sofia was startled as well.
What was happening?
It was good that the Sect Master allowed Gigi to go there whenever she wanted, so why
did she react like that?
At the look on Gigi's face, Darryl felt nothing but ease.
However, he did not go too far and did not continue to tease her. Sandra was still outside,
after all. He tapped his forehead. "Ah, I forgot we have a guest."
As he spoke, Darryl turned to smile at Sandra. "Come in, Miss Swanson." "Alright!"
Sandra called out, striding in slowly while holding the box. Once she entered the hall, she
took in her surroundings curiously.
Was that the famous Pill Tower of the Pure Yang Division? It sure looked fancier compared
to the one in the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
Just as she marveled at the place, Gigi smiled as she strode over. "Ah, you're here,
Sandra."
