Chapter 1252 Invitation
While Cecilia was feeling quite puzzled, she had to act as polite as her visitor was.
“You’re too kind, Elder Cowper. It’s our honor that you’re willing to visit us. Please take a seat and enjoy a cup of coffee.” When she finished speaking, she returned to her chair.
Someone swiftly brought a chair for Desmond and served him a cup of coffee.
“Let’s not beat around the bush, Lady Jingle. The reason I’m here is that I’ve received an order from Lord Frey to deal with Peyton’s matter.” Desmond went straight to the point.
I knew it. He’s here for that. She replied, “Indeed, Peyton is killed by Crimson Palace, Elder Cowper. If you’re here for revenge, then just do it.”
Aura gathered around Cecilia as she prepared to strike.
When Desmond saw that, he quickly waved his hands. “You have misunderstood, Lady Jingle. I’m not here for revenge. Peyton was an arrogant id*ot who dared to conspire against you, so he deserves to die. I’m here to apologize on Lord Frey’s behalf, Lady Jingle. Lord Frey apologizes for not teaching Peyton well, which was why he acted so rashly.”
His words stunned her, so much so that she was at a loss for words.
The situation was completely different from how she expected it would unfold.
She knew what kind of person Richard was, and he wasn’t the type of person who would apologize.
After all, he didn’t need to apologize to anyone being the leader of the most powerful sect in the south.
And yet, he had sent someone to apologize to Crimson Palace.
Cecilia was dumbfounded as she had no idea what Divine Beast Sect was trying to do.
“Just cut to the chase, Elder Cowper. What is your reason here?” She was certain Divine Beast Sect had ulterior motives, so she hoped Desmond would lay his intentions out in the open.
Seeing her like that made him laugh. “I really am here to apologize, Lady Jingle. There is one other thing. I’m also here to invite Jared to Divine Beast Sect! When Lord Frey learned of his arrival and his stay at Crimson Palace, he immediately asked me to invite him. You see, Lord Frey admires Jared a lot. “
Cecilia immediately understood what was going on. Divine Beast Sect’s apology is just a front for them to approach Jared! If Jared isn’t currently staying at Crimson Palace, Divine Beast Sect wouldn’t have been that polite. However, if that is the case, it means Divine Beast Sect is quite afraid of Jared and his reputation. When they learned Peyton was killed by him, they didn’t have the nerve to attack him directly. After all, Jared has a lot of power and influence in Jadeborough. Additionally, Mr. Sanders has a very close relationship with him and has helped him many times.
“You’ve come at a bad time, Elder Cowper. Mr. Chance is currently in a cultivation session, and I don’t think it’s a good idea to disturb him,” Cecilia informed apologetically.
“He’s cultivating?” Desmond’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Do you know how long it will be before he comes back?”
“It’s hard to tell. He’ll probably be back in a couple of days, though.”
Jared gave her ten days. Currently, he had been away for the third day, so he would undoubtedly return in the next couple of days.
“Very well. I’ll return in a couple of days to invite him again!” Desmond stood up, bowed in front of Cecilia, and left.
Seeing that Desmond was gone, the people in Crimson Palace got excited. As long as Divine Beast Sect wouldn’t attack them, they would be safe.
Cecilia let out a sigh of relief in her mind and fell asleep the moment she landed in bed.
Her slumber lasted for two days and two nights.
During that time, Jared had made good progress in his cultivation.
However, no matter what he did, he couldn’t break through the barrier that prevented him from becoming a Martial Arts Marquis—Nascent Soul couldn’t form in his body.
