“That’s not what I mean. I already have a girlfriend, and I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to do this
because it puts me in a difficult spot…” When Jared finished speaking, he hurriedly escaped outside.
Because he was a man, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself if he stayed any longer, so
he left.
Seeing how he was about to leave, Cecilia suddenly fell on her knees to the ground.
He was shocked before he quickly helped Cecilia up. However, he still kept his eyes closed as he didn’t
dare to look at her.
The fragrant scent of her body was already testing his limits. If he were to lay his eyes on her, he was
afraid he wouldn’t be able to hold back.
“What are you doing, Ms. Jingle? Put on your clothes quickly! If you have anything to say, tell me about
it after that!” Panic could be seen on his face.
Cecilia suddenly smiled when she saw him like that.
She promptly put on her clothes and became even more attracted to him.
It was because a gentleman like Jared was rare to come by in this day and age.
Jared let out a sigh of relief when he saw her wearing her clothes.
“Just tell me what’s on your mind, Ms. Jingle,” he inquired.
“I hope you’ll truly save Crimson Palace, Mr. Chance!” Cecilia withdrew her smile and requested with a
heavy expression.“Didn’t I kill Peyton already? What other danger is threatening Crimson Palace?”
“It’s exactly because you killed Peyton that we’re in further danger. He’s the godson of Richard, the
leader of Divine Beast Sect. That sect won’t let us go easily for Peyton’s murder. When the time comes,
not only will we be unable to escape the evil jaws of Divine Beast Sect, but we’ll suffer even crueler
treatment under their hands…” explained Cecilia as her expression darkened slightly.
Jared remained silent. It was easy for him to deal with just Peyton, but he wasn’t confident in winning a
battle against an entire sect, especially when he had no idea how powerful Richard was.
“How powerful is Richard, Ms. Jingle? I’m afraid I won’t have an easy time fighting against an entire
sect alone,” he admitted truthfully.
“Richard should be a Martial Arts Marquis, Mr. Chance. However, he only became one recently.
Besides, you’re not alone, Mr. Chance! Everyone in Crimson Palace is willing to do as you ask. From
now on, I’m willing to listen to whatever you say!” Cecilia’s face blushed abruptly when she finished.
It was because her words sounded as though she was a wife talking to her husband.
A frown was seen on his face as he didn’t want to spend too much time there.

“I do want to help you out, Ms. Jingle, but I don’t have enough time! If Divine Beast Sect doesn’t come
after you lot, I can’t keep staying here waiting until they do!” Jared had no time to keep staying at
Crimson Palace.
“Based on what I know about Richard’s personality, he’ll definitely come knocking on our door within
ten days after learning of his godson’s death. If they don’t show up after ten days, then you’re free to
leave, Mr. Chance,” Cecilia clarified.“Fine, I’ll stay here for ten more days!” Jared nodded.
When he thought of the cave, he asked, “What’s the matter with the cave behind Crimson Palace, Ms.
Jingle? Is it still blocked with a rock inside?”
She hesitated to answer when he asked about the cave but relented.
Apparently, a priest died in the cave during meditation. He was the one who put the rock there.
No one knew what was inside the cave. However, based on the abundant amount of energy in the
water flowing out of the cave, whatever was inside would be helpful to a person’s cultivation!
That was why Crimson Palace’s elders built their sect in front of the cave.
The elders also warned their descendants that no one was allowed to remove the rock or they would
be inviting trouble!
And yet, a few leaders of Crimson Palace were still curious about it in the hundreds of years after the
sect was formed. They tried removing the rock, but no matter what they did, the rock remained
unmoved.
