Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1692 Ask For Help

"Yes. I think so too. If you don't have any objections, I'll send my people to the Genie Fief right now,"Gilbert said.

Elder Leticia nodded eagerly. Her silence was agreement enough.

After that, Gilbert called for a servant and told him to run to the Genie Fief and deliver a message.At the same time, he whispered to more of his people and ordered them to surround the guest hallwhere Gloria lived.

At first, Gloria expected Gilbert to come straight to her, but a whole day had passed and he stillhadn't shown up, so she grew confused.

"My Lady, I have some bad news!" Suddenly, Purple burst through the door.

"What's wrong?" Gloria asked, turning to face her with her beautiful eyes narrowed.

"Someone just stopped me outside. He said that the leader has ordered us to stay in. And I just sawa bunch of masters surrounding our house,” Purple replied, looking wary.

"Gilbert must be trying to take the engagement covenant by force," Gloria assumed.

"What should we do? Should we attack them?" Purple stood straight like she was ready to fight."No. We should just wait for a while. Maybe they are just worried we will try and escape.” Gloriawaved her hand nonchalantly.

Another day crawled by and Gilbert was still nowhere to be seen. The guest hall was also stillsurrounded.

"It looks like Gilbert wants to

put me under house arrest. He might have sent someone to look for my father.” Gloria knew thatshe had underestimated Gilbert. He might not want to hurt her but that wouldn't stop him fromtrapping her inside the Ghost Fief.

If her father were to learn about what she had done in the Ghost Fief, he would probably ask her tohand over the engagement covenant immediately. That would mean that all her efforts would be invain and she would have to return to the Genie Fief with nothing.

"Should I sneak out and bring reinforcements from the Genie Fief to help us?" Purple asked,beginning to feel antsy from being trapped inside.

"You won't get there and back fast enough. Besides, I'm the one who made a mistake. My father willask me to hand over the engagement covenant if we go to him. I don't want my plan to fail..."Above all else, Gloria didn't want all of her efforts to be flushed down the toilet. She had worked toohard.

"Then what should we do?"

"It looks like I have to ask my fiance for help.” Gloria decided that her back-up plan would work justfine.

"Will he help us?" Purple asked in a doubtful voice.

"Tonight, I will try to attract the attention of the guards. Once I've done that, you can sneak out andreplace the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief. He will think of a way to save us. Tell him that if he can do it,I will return the engagement covenant to him,” Gloria answered, ignoring her uncertainty.

"Okay." Purple nodded.

That evening, as soon as she had finished her dinner that had been sent by the servant, Gloriawalked out of the guest hall alone. The moment that she reached the outer door of the guest hall,two officials that were at the Emperor Realm appeared and blocked her path.

"We're sorry. We have orders from our leader to not let you out," one of them said politely, cuppinghis hands.

"Can't I just take a walk?" Gloria's beautiful eyes twinkled and an attractive smile spread on hercheeks. Within seconds, the two officials and some other members behind them couldn't take theireyes off of her.

"We can't disobey the order of our leader.” However, the officials had a stronger willpower than shehad thought and not long after, they came to their senses.

"If you don't trust me, then you can follow me..." Ignoring the two officials, Gloria walked straightout of the door of the guest hall. The two officials exchanged a glance and followed her. A few otherpeople trailed on their heels.

Accompanied by so many people, Gloria strolled around the leader's whole mansion.

Her plan had worked. The guest hall was no longer guarded. A figure in red rushed out of it at anextremely fast speed and silently escaped into the darkness.

Before long, the figure had reached the outside the Ghost Palace.

However, the moment she stepped into the Ghost Palace, her entire body froze like she was trappedin a block of ice.

"It's so late. Why is there a rat in my house?" Then, the old voice continued, "Oh, it's not a rat. It's abeauty!”

Confused, Purple looked around and saw a strange, old man standing beside her. Immediately, herface turned murderous and she demanded, "Who are you?"

"I'd like to know the same thing. Why are you breaking into my Ghost Palace in the middle of thenight?" Esteban’s eyes raked over Purple and he made a rough guess at her identity.

"I'm here because I need to speak to the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief," Purple explained.

"Are you looking for my disciple? Are you the Godly Genius of the Genie Fief? You are reallybeautiful..." He nodded with eagerness flashing in his eyes.

"I am not!" Purple snorted.

"No? What a pity. I guess you can be an experimental subject for me instead. I'm in need of one fora living body experiment I've been dying to try.” Esteban rubbed his hands and laughed manically.Purple shuddered with fear.

"Old man, don't frighten her." A voice rang out, interrupting them.

Rocky was not surprised to see Purple there.

"Humph. Do you think you are the only one who is good at being merciful towards women?"Esteban muttered. After saying that, he walked towards the side door.

Rocky approached Purple and presented her with a bottle. He held it under her nose and sheinhaled the sweet aroma that wafted into her nostrils. Suddenly, her limbs relaxed and she couldmove again.

"What happened to me just now?" Purple asked.

"Instead of coming in from the main door, you entered from the eaves. The eaves have been taintedwith the gastrodia fragrance. Even a small whiff will paralyze you for a while,” Rocky explained.

"It is so powerfull” Purple stared at Rocky in shock. She was at the Emperor Realm, yet she had beenpoisoned without realizing it.

"What's up?" Rocky asked her, wondering why she had come.

"Lady Gloria sent me here..."

"Does she need me to help her?" Rocky raised his eyebrows.

"How did you know?" Again, Purple was full of surprise.

"She thought she was smart enough to destroy my engagement with the Godly Genius of theFlower Fief, but she didn't realize the position she was putting herself in. If I'm right, Gilbert musthave put her under house arrest.” Rocky knew Gilbert well enough that he understood his innerworkings. He had suspected that house arrest would be Gloria's punishment from the moment shetried to come between Rocky and his engagement.

"You're right. She asked me to look for you and tell you to save us.” Purple nodded in a hurry.

"Do you think I will help you?" Rocky smiled.

"I don't think so, but she thinks you will..." Purple answered honestly.

"Okay." Rocky marveled at Gloria's thought process. He would go and save her. However, he woulddo it not because of the engagement covenant. He wanted to secretly make her his ally so that hecould have an advantage during the battle of the Godly Geniuses. He knew that open alliances wereboring. If two people allied secretly and delivered a fatal blow to an unsuspecting opponent, itwould be terrifying. Thus, Rocky would partner up with Gloria to make himself more formidable.
