"And that’s what happened," Omar explained to Lily Gos 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 Gos said.
She sighed, "First of all, the way you handled the situation is reckless. But it’s ok. It worked sohow. 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 Gos, 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 et soone." Lily Gos 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 Gos. 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 Gos.
"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 so tasks as an elder. When he arrived near his house, he sighed, "She’s here."
Yan Du noticed Lily Gos sitting together with her assistant, drinking tea while holding a book.
"Nothing better than reading a book while having tea," Lily Gos said.
"Gos, you need to stop breaking into my house," Yan Du suddenly appeared and said. Tyler imdiately stood up to show respect.
"Also, how did you get past my guard?" he asked in confusion.
"First of all, his na 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 Gos. He turned to Tyler. Tyler felt heavy pressure descending upon him. Lily Gos just coughed, and the pressure instantly vanished. "Why bully the weak?"
"He must be your new assistant," Yan Du said.
"Oh... Yeah... et 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 Gos 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 diate to resolve it peacefully."
"Yo, fr? This is how people speak these days?" Lily Gos shook her head in disappointnt.
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 Gos 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 Gos’ 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 Gos said.
Tyler was speechless and shocked. He didn’t expect Lily Gos 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 seed to say.
"Fair enough. We have a deal." They just cupped their hands at each other, and Lily Gos 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 Gos." He could only curse under his breath.
"Did you like that tea?" she asked.
"Yup, it tastes good," Tyler nodded. Lily Gos 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 so more copies later.

A week passed. Tyler’s restaurant didn’t have any more trouble. Most of the ti he was in Lily Gos’ office doing paperwork.
This ti, Lily led him to her library and took out an old book.
"White, this is the thod used to reconnect the ridians," 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 thod, you can only use the sect thod," 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 nd the ridians. You see, in my book, they ntioned lots of steps. You can directly skip that and use the last part to nd your ridians there," she explained.
"Trial? You an I have to go through a trial?" Tyler asked.
"Yeah... But don’t worry, it is not dangerous... probably." Even Lily Gos 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 so 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 Gos 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 embarrassnt. He then walked to the deck. This is a passenger Ship. People can board it to the newly erged Kun Peng Ruins.
He just decided to stay on the ship. It is the first ti 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 ek and sly, Conceals the truth from mortal sight.
The wearer’s presence, masked and dim, Like phantoms in the twilight’s gleam, Becos a whisper, soft and slim, A hidden force within a dream."
He did understand so 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 so 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 beca 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 dimd. The Ghost went back to Tyler’s body with disappointnt.
