The Pavilion Master's expression grew darker as he observed this.
Every symptom pointed to one conclusion - my golden core had suffered real damage.
I wiped away the blood trickling from my mouth, showing no signs of panic on my face.
"Your condition..." the Pavilion Master started.
I raised my hand dismissively: "Don't worry about me, Lord Pavilion Master. I need to head to Capital City and track down Aiden Eve."
"What happens if Aiden Eve refuses to hand over the Stone of Heaven and Earth?" the Pavilion Master pressed.
I spoke with cold determination: "I've been far too lenient, and that's why everyone thinks they can risk everything to capture Mabel Sean."
Though I hadn't answered his question directly, my meaning was crystal clear.
I said nothing more, took my leave from the Pavilion Master, and walked out of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
Right now, I had no better method to shield the Pavilion Master and Mabel Sean - not unless I could locate a Mystic Realm.
