Lian Dan chuckled, "There’s no need to deny it, ever since you first laid eyes on that lad, there was sothing different about your gaze. Others might not understand you, but how could I not? Now that the token of engagent has been given and accepted by that young man, it seems like things are starting to take shape. Ah— having found a good match, we can finally reassure your late father, and our master will be happy for you too."
Hearing Lian Dan ntion her deceased father, Di Ya’s eyes reddened and she said softly, "Elder brothers, thank you for always looking after . With dad gone, now it’s only you and master who are my family. I... I do have feelings for him, but the four elders had captured them before, will he hold a grudge?"
Zhu Yuan smiled gently, "Don’t worry, little sister. Soone who has cultivated the Holy Light to such a level won’t be narrow-minded. That lad isn’t very scheming, and you’ve apologized before; he most likely won’t fuss over it much. My concern is that you are not from the church, and if you want to be with him in the future, you might face so difficulties."
Upon hearing Zhu Yuan’s words, Di Ya tensed up and asked anxiously, "Then, what should I do? I am the Clan Leader of the Yajin Tribe, I can’t join the church!"
Lian Dan laughed, "Don’t listen to your second senior brother’s nonsense. It’s not necessary to join the church to be together. As long as you are a faithful believer of the Sky God, you can be with soone from the church. That lad has a truly extraordinary background! Isn’t he the Pope’s biological grandson as Elder Tian Luo said? With his status, he is a good match for you. With his profound magical abilities, who knows, maybe in the future, you could even beco the Pope’s wife! Speaking of, it’s incredible how powerful those four elders are; I hadn’t expected it. Combined, their power might even pose a challenge to our master; Soul Magic, this is the first ti I’ve heard about it. Moreover, Elder Tian Luo is quite cunning, making you connect with Ah Dai and Xuan Re, because they are the Savior, and those who followed the Savior, God Feather, centuries ago all t with great outcos. If there truly is a millennial calamity, the Savior will be a bright light in the darkness, and as long as the Yajin Tribe follows him, you will successfully pass through the ordeal."
Di Ya nodded, saying, "Yes! The four elders have considered the future deeply. It seems I’m still too naive. I need to learn more from them from now on. Elder Tian Luo has agreed to teach Soul Magic. Ever since I’ve seen that Ah Dai’s martial arts, I’ve lost all confidence in myself. Big brother, he’s truly formidable; his Qi can completely restrict my movents. Perhaps, he has already reached the Sword Saint Realm of master. The competition among the four great Sword Saints is set to take place next year, and considering Ah Dai’s abilities, I fear master might not have the upper hand this ti!"
Lian Dan gave a faint smile, "You needn’t feel sad on behalf of our master. He once said that the cultivation of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang has reached the pinnacle of human strength, and defeating him is nearly impossible. In recent years, our master has started to view victory and defeat with detachnt. In two years, perhaps the top experts of the four continents will gather just to have tea and chat."
Reflecting on her master, Dongfang Sword Saint, and his miraculous martial arts, Di Ya couldn’t help but beco a bit entranced, murmuring, "If that’s really the case, it would be wonderful."
Lian Dan said, "We’ve been here for many days, and it’s ti to head back. There are many things awaiting us in the group. The competition among rcenary groups is fierce too. Apart from our Red Charming rcenary Group, several new Special Class rcenary Groups have erged. I have thousands of n depending on to eat; we need more lucrative contracts. Di Ya, you have to seize your own happiness. A brilliant man like Xuan Re will likely have many admirers; seize the opportunity and don’t let shyness cost you a lifeti of happiness."
Di Ya’s shyness resurfaced, but she took in Lian Dan’s words, nodding softly, "I understand. We’ll definitely et again in the future."
Lian Dan addressed Zhu Yuan, "Brother, let’s get going. Riding quickly, we should reach Red Hurricane City in five days. I just received word that the Moon Scar rcenary Corps has been undercutting our deals again by offering lower prices."
Zhu Yuan frowned, "This Moon Scar rcenary Corps doesn’t act like a Special Class rcenary Corps at all; they only take on missions below level one and drastically undercut prices, making it hard for us to survive!"
Lian Dan helplessly replied, "We can’t help it, they are a Special Class rcenary Corps and have so influence. If we have to, we may need to lower our prices to remain competitive. Those special missions are too difficult anyway. I don’t want to see too many casualties among my brothers. How would I explain that to their families? Alright, little sister, we’ll head back to rest now. You have a lot on your plate so don’t bother coming to see us off. If anything cos up, send soone to Red Hurricane City to find us. Your brothers will always be your strong support. I know you’re busy, but make sure to rest. If master finds you looking haggard, he won’t let off the hook!" Having said this, Lian Dan burst into hearty laughter.
Ah Dai and his companions exited the Clan Leader’s Mansion, stepping outside, Olivia moved closer to Xuan Yue, eyeing the dagger she held, while Kino also approached curiously. The dagger, including the handle, was just eight inches long, shorter than Ah Dai’s Sword of Hades. Its sheath was made of green sharkskin, featuring two buckled straps that seed apt for attachnt to an arm or leg. A light blue gemstone was embedded in the handle. From its appearance, except for its novel sheath design, there was nothing particularly special about it.
