Pope frowned slightly and said, "What you say makes sense, I’ll try my best, at least we cannot let him beco an enemy of the Church. As for everything else, let it be." The image of Xuan Yue suddenly flashed in his mind, according to Xuan Ye’s report, his granddaughter’s relationship with Ah Dai was rather unusual. For the Church to continue its existence on the continent, they might have to make use of this relationship in the future.
Three days later, in the Holy Church’s Prayer Temple.
Ah Dai’s consciousness was gradually awakening, and the soreness throughout his body made it hard for him to move. The True Qi inside him seed to be circulating automatically, his blood vessels felt stiff, and as his consciousness beca clearer, not only did he gain control of his body, he also rembered everything that had happened before. He suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Big brother, sister, Xing Er, you guys run quickly!" A strong sense of fear filled his chest, and he sat up abruptly, gasping for air.
"Ah Dai, you’re finally awake." The excited voice of Yan Shi reached his ears. Only then did Ah Dai see his surroundings clearly, he was in a vast room, surrounded by the brothers Yan Shi, Zhuo Yun, Xing Er, Xuan Ye and an old man wearing a Golden Sacrificial Gown with a Golden Crown. Seeing that Yan Shi and the others were alright, Ah Dai breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Am I, am I not dreaming?" Yan Shi grabbed Ah Dai’s hand and choked up, "Brother, you scared to death. If you had died, big brother would have surely followed you."
Looking at Yan Shi’s sincere expression, Ah Dai felt warmth in his heart and smiled, "Big brother, look, I’m fine, right? Where is this? Uncle Xuan Ye... Lord Ritualist, why are you here?"
Pope had predicted that Ah Dai would wake up around this ti, so he had co to the Prayer Temple in advance. He smiled and said, "Because, you are now in the Holy Church’s Prayer Temple."
Yan Shi hurriedly summarized what had happened after Ah Dai had lost consciousness. After hearing his account, Ah Dai finally understood, scratching his head with a bitter smile, "Judgnt Chief could have just asked directly if he wanted to test . Was there a need to be so serious? Pope, thank you for saving ."
Pope smiled and said, "This was a mistake caused by us. If the Judgnt Chief had not tested you, you wouldn’t have been so seriously injured. It was only right to heal you. Moreover, if it weren’t for your rich True Qi, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything. How do you feel now? Are you feeling normal?"
Gratefulness shone in Ah Dai’s eyes as he jumped down from the altar and moved his body around, "Thank you, except for still feeling a bit weak, I’m almost fully recovered."
Pope nodded and said, "Weakness is normal. You’ve been relying on the True Qi in your body to sustain your life. You haven’t eaten anything in over ten days, how could you not be weak? Alright, Xuan Ye, take Ah Dai to have sothing to eat. Let him rest properly. I’ll talk to him tomorrow." Xuan Ye promptly responded respectfully.
Seeing the Pope’s warm smile, Ah Dai’s heart ward, and respect filled his eyes. Seeing his expression, the Pope knew that the purpose of his visit had been achieved. He nodded at Ah Dai, a flash of light, and vanished from the hall.
After the Pope left, Xuan Ye glanced at Ah Dai with a cool expression. Ah Dai, who was already quite plain-looking and now sporting a shaved head, looked even more plain, and to Xuan Ye, he was quite unpleasant to look at. He couldn’t understand why his daughter had fallen for him, but fortunately, Yue Yue had already forgotten him by now. He said indifferently, "Co with . I’ll take you to rest."
Xuan Ye led the five to a refined pavilion in the Divine Mountain specially set up for guests, arranging three rooms for them. The brothers Yan Shi hadn’t rested properly in the last few days, and now that they confird Ah Dai was fine, they crawled into their room and fell asleep. Both Zhuo Yun and Xing Er were also greatly exhausted. Even though Xing Er wanted to stay with Ah Dai a little longer, Zhuo Yun, worried that her energy depletion would weaken the Bloodline of Elf King too much, forcibly took her back to their room to ditate.
After Xuan Ye took Ah Dai to his room, he ordered his servants to bring so liquid food for Ah Dai. "Alright, have so food and rest. I’ll take you to see the Pope tomorrow," he said and then turned to walk away. Perhaps it was because of the humiliation he had experienced on Divine Mountain, even if Ah Dai was truly the Savior, he couldn’t muster any fondness for him.
"Uncle Xuan Ye," Ah Dai called out anxiously.
Xuan Ye, with his back to Ah Dai, spoke coldly, "Don’t call uncle. You can call by my na, or Ritualist Xuan Ye. I’m not worthy of the title uncle. If you have sothing to say, just say it."
