Carson Flores never expected that Briony Simmons, who had been missing for years, would appear beside the old Sect Leader.
Being led to his room by Briony, she finally asked in a low voice, "How is my father doing?"
Carson smiled and said, "He's fine, nothing to worry about."
After a pause, Carson asked, "Why are you here, if you don't mind me asking?"
Briony whispered, "I was being hunted and ended up here. My benefactor saved me. After learning why I came, he let me stay. Given my skills, stepping outside would mean certain death sooner or later."
Carson nodded, "You're indeed lucky."
Briony sighed, "Yes, as a female cultivator, it's extremely difficult to safely pass through the Suffering Pray Sea."
Carson reassured her, "Don't worry. Once the Holy Son finds this place and talks with the senior, perhaps we won't need to stay here anymore."
Briony widened her eyes with surprise and joy, "We can leave?"
Carson glanced at the room next door, "That depends on the senior."
