Chapter 91: 91. Trouble Solved for the Nonce

"And that’s what happened," Omar explained to Lily Gomes everything that happened . She looked at Tyler. Tyler scratched his head and looked away like a mischievous student who had been caught by the teacher.

"Huh... You did all that and stayed in the sect thinking it would be safer here," Lily Gomes said.

She sighed, "First of all, the way you handled the situation is reckless. But it’s ok. It worked somehow. But you will still face a lot of problems in Future."

Tyler understood that this was not her defective personality, so he listened carefully. According to Lily Gomes, her personality changes suddenly without any warning and might stay for a minute or a whole month. There is no pattern to it.

"Let’s go meet someone." Lily Gomes dragged Tyler out.

She took a sword and stood on it. Tyler’s eyes lit up as he stood behind her. The sword began to fly. Tyler wobbled and unconsciously tried to hug Lily Gomes. But suddenly, an aura enveloped him and helped him maintain balance. He didn’t have a chance to hug her.

Omar, who was watching from the ground, sighed in relief. He had also tried that trick but it never worked

Soon, they landed at a small valley that looked like it was surrounded by volcanoes. Even though it wasn’t a volcano, the temperature was high here. Tyler was able to handle the heat which surprised Lily Gomes.

"Looks like you have good tolerance." She said,

"Stop." A big, seven-foot-tall man blocked their path.

The Master of Fire Valley Faction, Yan Du, had just returned to his abode to drink his favourite tea after finishing some tasks as an elder. When he arrived near his house, he sighed, "She’s here."

Yan Du noticed Lily Gomes sitting together with her assistant, drinking tea while holding a book.

"Nothing better than reading a book while having tea," Lily Gomes said.

"Gomes, you need to stop breaking into my house," Yan Du suddenly appeared and said. Tyler immediately stood up to show respect.

"Also, how did you get past my guard?" he asked in confusion.

"First of all, his name is Arnold..." She said seriously and continued, "Second of all, I threatened him with my sword."

Yan Du’s eye twitched. He decided to talk less with Lily Gomes. He turned to Tyler. Tyler felt heavy pressure descending upon him. Lily Gomes just coughed, and the pressure instantly vanished. "Why bully the weak?"

"He must be your new assistant," Yan Du said.

"Oh... Yeah... Meet White." Lily said.

Tyler smiled.

"But his heart is totally black." She added.

His smile vanished. Yan Du felt a little sympathy for Tyler because he had to listen to her yapping every day since he worked for her. Tyler also sighed inwardly because the defective personality popped out suddenly when they reached Fire Valley.

"I will get straight to the point. My assistant was throwing shade at your business. I’m here to vibe and keep it chill." Lily Gomes placed the book on the table and said.

"What?" Yan Du was confused.

Tyler sighed and translated her unusual slang, "My assistant had trouble with your people, and I am here to mediate to resolve it peacefully."

"Yo, fr? This is how people speak these days?" Lily Gomes shook her head in disappointment.

Yan Du touched his forehead as if having a headache.

"Alright, let the younger generation handle their own. We won’t interfere." Yan Du really wanted to end this conversation faster.

"I am also quite young, you know," Lily Gomes said.

"I won’t interfere as long as you don’t interfere." He quickly explained and turned to Tyler, "You can do anything. It will be at least training for him."

But he didn’t think Lily Gomes’ assistant could do anything against his first disciple. He had confidence in his disciple.

"Are you sure? This guy killed a fellow trial taker because he wrongly accused his sister," Lily Gomes said.

Tyler was speechless and shocked. He didn’t expect Lily Gomes to know about this.

Yan Du looked at Tyler and turned away. Tyler understood everything from that look.

’What can he even do?’ his eyes seemed to say.

"Fair enough. We have a deal." They just cupped their hands at each other, and Lily Gomes left with Tyler.

Yan Du then looked at the empty tea cups and his heart ached. He quickly went to the kitchen for another packet of tea, but he saw a packet was missing.

’Damn... Lily Gomes." He could only curse under his breath.

"Did you like that tea?" she asked.

"Yup, it tastes good," Tyler nodded. Lily Gomes then threw a packet of tea powder to him.

"Keep it and brew it whenever I am in the office," she said as she drove the sword. Tyler decided to make some more copies later.

A week passed. Tyler’s restaurant didn’t have any more trouble. Most of the time he was in Lily Gomes’ office doing paperwork.

This time, Lily led him to her library and took out an old book.

"White, this is the method used to reconnect the meridians," she handed him the book. Tyler thanked her and began to read it.

"It says it will take ten more years," Tyler was baffled.

"Huh... Yeah... If you want a faster method, you can only use the sect method," she said with a little guilt. She felt like she had tricked her new assistant.

"Alright. There is another way. We can do it within a month." When Lily said that, Tyler’s eyes lit up. He looked at her with anticipation.

"Heard about the new Kunpeng Ruins?" she asked.

Tyler nodded. Everyone was talking about it. It was a hot topic in the sect.

"They found a trial ground that helps you mend the meridians. You see, in my book, they mentioned lots of steps. You can directly skip that and use the last part to mend your meridians there," she explained.

"Trial? You mean I have to go through a trial?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah... But don’t worry, it is not dangerous... probably." Even Lily Gomes was not sure about it.

"Is it safe for novice warriors?" he asked.

"Yeah... As long as they stay at the outskirts," she said.

"Then I will go," Tyler said.

"As expected. Then pack your things. We are leaving tomorrow," Lily said, which made Tyler dumbfounded. He felt like his boss led the conversation to make him agree. Even though he was suspicious, he didn’t ask. As long as there was an opportunity to recover, he was ready to grasp it.

The following day, under the reluctant gaze of Silvia, Tyler left the house. He carefully packed up some charms in his pocket. It is enough to handle Warrior Level Threats.

He didn’t go to the office , instead he left the Floating Island. After reaching a town, he boarded a ship. Tyler sees Lily Gomes is already waiting for him on the ship.

"I have things to do. You can chill until we reach the ruins. Also be careful not to provoke anyone; this is not the sect." She said,

"Don’t worry boss. I don’t have a habit of provoking people." He replied confidently.

"I just left for a few days and You already burned four restaurants." Lily shook her head and left.

Tyler scratched his forehead a little in embarrassment. He then walked to the deck. This is a passenger Ship. People can board it to the newly emerged Kun Peng Ruins.

He just decided to stay on the ship. It is the first time Tyler left the sect area. He is looking forward to it a little.

At Night,

He took out the mask he got from the Blood Cave Garden. No matter what he tried he couldn’t find anything special about it. He recalled the poem that Silvia read.

" In shadows deep where secrets lie, A mask of power, red and white, Whose painted face, both meek and sly, Conceals the truth from mortal sight.

The wearer’s presence, masked and dim, Like phantoms in the twilight’s gleam, Becomes a whisper, soft and slim, A hidden force within a dream."

He did understand some words. But he has no Idea how to activate it.

"Maybe I need Aura." Tyler guessed, "Or...."

Suddenly an Idea popped into Tyler’s mind. He bit his tongue and spat out blood. The blood got absorbed by the mask.

Tyler’s eyes lit up. He quickly took a small flask that had potion and poured it out. He then dropped some of his blood in it. Then he took his copper pot.

Tyler copied his blood again and again. And poured it in the mask. The mask absorbed like 10 litres and nothing happened

Tyler’s mouth twitched. He is glad that he has a copper pot. He quickly became disinterested and kept the mask. He went to sleep. He didn’t notice that the mask glowed a little and A small curse was spreading towards Tyler.

A shadowy figure of Little girl appeared from inside Tyler and bit the curse. The glowing mask dimmed. The Ghost went back to Tyler’s body with disappointment.
