The Man's Decree

“Man?” Juliet blinked in surprise, then turned to look at Jared. “Father, did he vanquish your demonic soul?” she asked.

“Of course it was him. If I could get rid of it myself, don’t you think I would have done it a long time ago? You really are something, you know. In the future, when something major like this happens, you must let me know first,” Gael grumbled.

“Something major?” Juliet was even more bewildered. She thought Gael was referring to her bringing Jared to see him, so she lowered her head and said, “Father, I understand. I won’t do it again in the future…”

Gael waved his hand and said, “Okay, I didn’t mean to blame you. This was your decision, and as your father, it’s only right that I respect your choices. It’s getting late, you should head back now. If you wait until dawn, you risk being discovered.”

“Father, now that you’re all right, aren’t you coming out with us?” Juliet asked, confused.

Since everything was back to normal and his madness had subsided, why not step out? It was the perfect time to reclaim Harlan’s position as the acting sect leader!

“Though the demonic soul has been vanquished, my spiritual sense has suffered severe damage. I must recuperate. If I leave now and alert Harlan that I’ve already come to my senses, he’ll surely do something out of desperation. Once I’ve recovered, I’ll unlock the Divine Flame Mountain and allow the Divine Flame Seal to see the light of day again. When the time comes, my dear son-in-law will be able to utilize the Divine Flame Seal to comprehend the fire fusion technique!” Gael slowly explained.
