“His name is Daryl, and he’s my grandfather! Well, on paper, at least… I really doubt he’s my grandfather
nowadays… After all, after everything he’s done, I now see him as nothing more than a devil!” replied Gerald as he
shook his head, prompting Saint Darkwind to widen his eyes in shock.
After a brief pause, Saint Darkwind sighed before saying, “You know, the pledge of the holy water has been carried
out for decades… Who knows how many people with bloodline spiritual essence he’s killed…? Are we even sure
that he hasn’t already turned into a full devil? If he has, then you’ll never be his match!”
The cultivation realm and Deitus Realm were simply too far apart! Though Gerald understood that, he simply
replied, “I’m aware of that possibility, though that doesn’t mean I’ll just wait for him to claim my life! Regardless,
aside from all the things we’ve mentioned, you should know that I’m currently hot on Daryl’s trail. Once we find
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim, I believe that many of our questions will finally be answered.”
“That’s great to hear! Please, allow me to assist you!” said Saint Darkwind.
“Welcome aboard!” replied Gerald who knew for a fact that Saint Darkwind had much more experience than he
ever had. What more, Saint Darkwind had come across those from the Sun League before as well. With that in
mind, Gerald intended to keep him close by his side so that they could both look out for each other in the future.
Gerald’s train of thought was cut short when he heard Saint Darkwind ask, “Speaking of which, what should we do
about the three brothers?”
“Just scrape their cultivation off. After all, I’m sure they’ve been doing bad things all this while. Since they don’t
value the lives of commoners and keep bullying them, we’ll just tum them into commoners today!” declared Gerald
in a frigid tone.
“Well said! Just leave it to me!” replied Saint Darkwind as he bolted off.
Gerald, on the other hand, returned to the Morningstar manor to break the formation binding Lyndon. Now that he
had an alliance with these top cultivators, Gerald couldn’t help but feel more confident.
Regardless, by the time all three of them got to spring manor, they found that Professor Boyle was already waiting
for them there. Speaking of the professor, his face was now brimming with vitality compared to when Gerald had
first met him. It was clear that he was almost fully healed thanks to recuperating in the nurturing formation with the
aid of the holy stones.
Either way, upon seeing Lyndon and Saint Darkwind, the professor couldn’t help but ask, “Hmm? Who are those
two?”
“This is Mr. Moldell, and that’s Mr. Darkwind. They’re both friends of mine. Also, to the two of you, this is Professor
Boyle. He’s the one who’s been providing me with clues to find Yearning Island!” introduced Gerald.

Once the formalities were over, Professor Boyle went straight to the point by saying, “It took quite a while, but we
finally found some clues to Ms. Willow’s whereabouts! As I’ve previously said, though we haven’t met in ages, I did
know that she was from the Shu Province. With that in mind, I began my investigations there. Unfortunately, even
after asking all my students there, none of them seemed to have kept in touch with her. That is, until one of my
students contacted me this morning.”
“She told me that she had heard that I was looking for her, but that aside, she said that though she hadn’t met
Phoebe in a while, she did meet with Phoebe’s boyfriend a while back. They’re now apparently married, and
Phoebe’s husband appears to be running a rather successful company in Peaceton! Aside from that, I was also told
that he had apparently changed his name to Marcel Lurvink about ten years ago.”
Clearing his throat, the professor then added, “He’s always kept a low profile, and my student only met him by
chance in a shopping complex. Naturally, when she called him Ferb, his old name, he pretended not to know her! It
was only after digging around a little when she found out about his name change!”
