At the same time, Darby Seaview Mansion was exceptionally lively.
A dozen tables were arranged in the hall as all the offspring of the Darby family were present for the reunion dinner.
Abbess Mother Serendipity was at the seat for honored guests with a dozen pretty Emei female desciples around her.
They were a unique scene in the Darby reunion dinner.
Old Master Darby was seated on the main seat when he said emotionally "Is everyone here? Alright. Today is my first Mid-Autumn Festival after I ended my isolation to cultivate. I am glad to see the Darby family growing and prospering."
He looked toward Abbess Mother Serendipity and smiled "Aside from that, we have Abbess Mother Serendipity from the Emei sect with us today for the Darby family's Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner. We are honored to have you here!"
The Darby offspring nodded in agreement.
Abbess Mother Serendipity nodded lightly and said humbly "Old Master Darby, don't mention it. We are graceful for your kindness in letting us stay in your home. You even invited us to join you for dinner this Mid-Autumn Festival. The honor is ours."
She did not intend anything with those words but the others were caught up with something.
A hint of awkwardness spread through the days.
Even Old Master Darby was unaeasy. After all, he was the one who led the family to enter the Eternal Life Palace Sect.
She mentioned that the Eternal Life Palace Sect was a cult with demonic roots, was she mocking the Darby family too?
Old Master Darby could not rebut so he coughed awkwardly and smiled dryly "Indeed, cough... Abbess Mother Serendipity, you're right."
He was anxious.
He could not continue the topic anymore or he might say something wrong and expose themselves.
Abbess Mother Serendipity spoke again "By the way, Mister Darby, the Darby family certainly has wide connections since you are one of the wealthiest families in Donghai City. I have something to ask here, do you know a Darryl Darby?"
Darryl Darby?
Everyone's expression changed into bewilderment when they heard the name.
'How did Abbess Mother Serendipity know about the good-for-nothing Darryl?'
Florian stood up with a smile "Abbess Mother Serendipity, are you close with Darryl?"
She shook her head and said "Not really, we've never met. The eldest of our young disciples in the Emei Sect named Megan Castello informed me a few days ago that Darryl Darby from Donghai City has Godly pills, hence I'm asking about him."
What?
'Darryl has Godly Pills?'
Haha...
Laughter erupted in the mansion hall upon Abbess Mother Serendipity's words, humor, and disdain were written all over the Darby family's faces.
A disciple snickered and said "Abbess Mother Serendipity, you might not know this but Darryl is indeed from our family. He is the second young master."
Abbess Mother Serendipity's face gleamed with delight "Is that so?"
The disciple laughed and continued in a scornful tone "However, he violated a family rule and he was chased out of the family. He is now a live-in son-in-law and we have nothing to do with him. How can a piece of trash like him have Godly Pills?"
"Exactly. He is a loser, how can he possess such rare medicine?"
"Abbess Mother Serendipity, you must have mistaken him for someone else."
"Right..."
Listening to the Darby family's conversation, Abbess Mother Serendipity raised her thin brwon as confusion emerged on her delicate face.
Something was off.
Darryl Darby sounded worthless from the Darby family's words.
However, Megan said that Darryl was an amazing individual as if he knew everything.
How could this happen?
Florian added "Abbess Mother Serendipity, Darryl is the black sheep of the Darby family, he is a monster! He tarnished my brother's bride on their wedding night! How wicked is that?"
He was trying to impress Abbess Mother Serendipity and he lost control of his mouth.
Old Master Darby coughed and glared at Florian, gesturing him to stop as one must not air their dirty linen in public! How could he tell outsiders about a member of their family tarnishing his brother's wife?
How could the Darby family sustain their reputation after this?
"What?"
