StunningEdge Chapter 82

hapter 82:

The capital's temple of Light, the Pope's study:

The pope watched Liuxue Qing who was standing before him seriously, listening to her report. After finding the pope, she set up a magic barrier in the study, making him confused. Only after the pope finished hearing Lixue Qing did he understand why she was so serious.

"Are you sure you saw correctly?" The pope asked seriously. She was Cliff's disciple and also soone from the Hill clan, and recently rose in the capital. But even so, there was no way she could sumr a grand, three headed dragon!

"Your holiness, I promise I saw correctly. The furry atball that I saw Claire with today was the little animal that was crouching on the back of the black dragon that day. I know it seems outlandish, with Claire's strength, there's now way for her to summon a dragon, not to ntion order one to do sothing so shaless. But, I promise, the little animal I saw today in her embrace was the once crouching on the black dragon's back that day." Liuxue Qing frowned, exceptionally serious.

The pope fell silent, not sure. The reason why Liuxue Qing was able to beco the divine princess wasn't because of her appearance or elegance, but because of her undeniable strength. Illusions didn't work on her because of exceptional senses and strong fighting power.

If Liuxue Qing didn't see wrong, then was that girl from the Hill can able to summon a dragon then order him? He had personally seen the dragon that day, it was definitely real. And he definitely felt the despicable dragon's spit.

If it was really related to Claire, then he would have to take ti to think about it. But that didn't an he was going to let her go easily! Actually daring the steal the goddess's gift! Humph! No matter who it was, they would all receive due punishnt.

"I understand. Don't publicize this information for now. I'll leave it to you to investigate. You know her so investigating should be relatively easy. If she really stole the goddess's gift, she will definitely receive due punishnt. Even the emperor won't be able to shield her!" The pope said coldly, imdiately improving Liuxue Qing's mood.

Liuxue Qing suppressed her urge to laugh and said to the pope solemnly, "You holiness, don't worry. I will definitely investigate and report everything.

"Yes. You may leave now." The pope nodded.

Not long after Liuxue Qing left, there was a quiet knock at the door.

"Co in." Naturally, the pope could tell from the footsteps who it was. It was the Temple of Light's highest clairvoyant, L'Oreal.

L'Oreal had always had strange eyes and piercing green hair. She opened the softly and said concisely, "The person the goddess is looking for is in the capital. The anomaly in the sky was caused by that person."

"What?!" The pope stood up swiftly. When the divine prince, Leng Lingyun, went to Yowusali, he didn't find any clues, but now they were actually in the capital again?!

"The divine prince and princess were both there in the early morning when the anomaly happened, it should be easy to get an answer if we ask them." L'Oreal voice was incomparably empty, devoid of emotion.

"Alright. Thank you for your trouble." The pope was always very polite to L'Oreal because she was the equivalent of the goddess's eyes and mouth and had always passed on the goddess's orders.

"I well take my leave." L'Oreal said concisely and slowly withdrew.

The pope let out a sigh of relief. They hadn't been able to find any clues about the person the person the goddess was looking for after all this ti. He was even a little afraid the goddess might lose her patience and bla them for not working hard enough. Now there was finally progress, how could he not let out a sigh?

Soon, Leng Lingyun arrived at the study.

"Your holiness, were you looking for ?" Leng Lingyun said, neither servile nor overbearing.

The pope looked at the person standing before him and felt sowhat regretful. This outstanding young man didn't work wholeheartedly for the Temple of Light because he believed in the goddess, but because of his little sister.

"Yes." The pope recollected his thoughts, stood up, and slowly approached Leng Lingyun, saying, "Lingyun, I have always treated you as my own child. I saw you when you entered the Temple of Light, saw your each and every step of progression to this level. I hope you will live up to my expectations."

"Lingyun knows and won't fail to live up to your holiness's expectations." Leng Lingyun's tone of voice still hadn't changed.

The pope sighed internally. As expected, this child still didn't open his heart to others.

"When the anomaly happened outside the city walls in the early morning, you were there. Can you tell in detail what exactly happened?" The pope turned to the main topic.

"When it was early morning and I was heading to the city gates, I saw the dark clouds cover the sky, thunder and lightning booming…." Leng Lingyun started saying in detail, including that Claire had almost been murdered, but held back the matter of the earth spikes suddenly changing in direction

"You're saying Claire Hill was also there?" The pope frowned slightly, wanting to say sothing, but couldn't. How was that girl also involved? Coincidence?

"Yes." Leng Lingyun saw the pope's expression change and wanted to ask sothing, but resisted in the end.

"There's nothing else, you can take your leave. Investigate what exactly caused the anomaly." The pope ordered, still frowning.

"Yes." Leng Lingyun left the room, leaving the pope to ponder in the study alone.

Camille's house:

When Claire woke up, it was already night ti. Sumr ca to get Claire to wake up and eat dinner. Qiao Chuxin, that shy and pretty girl, was smiling widely and seed to getting along with everybody else pretty well. When she saw Claire and Sumr enter, she imdiately got up to greet them.

"Claire, today, big sister Sumr bought so many things." Qiao Chuxin said happily.

Sure enough, Claire saw that Qiao Chuxin looked like a new person. Clothes make the man, as the saying goes. Currently, Qiao Chuxin was lovely, wearing fitting pink clothes and gotten a brand new, pretty case for the bow that was on her back before.

"You still carry your bow when you're eating?" Claire sat down and asked.

"My mother has said if the bow is there, the person is here. If the bow isn't there, then there's no need for a person." Qiao Chuxin replied seriously.

Claire nodded. As a fighter, she understood this kind of ntality.

After everybody ate, Sumr suggested that they stroll around the most flourishing night market of the capital.

Claire glanced at the eager Qiao Chuxin and nodded, agreeing. Qiao Chuxing and Sumr cheered.

Little did they know, this stroll would bring them an unexpected encounter.

As night fell, the capital bustled with activity.

The noisy downtown area had lights brightening each street.

Sumr and Qiao Chuxin were at the front, excitedly look at this, touching that. Jean and Ben silently followed Claire from behind. Pitiful Walter had to stay with Camille at ho. If he didn't pay attention for even just one second, his Dark aura would be discovered. Naturally, he couldn't appear at the crowded downtown area.

"Claire, buy this." Sumr pointed at so ornants displayed by a peddler on the side of the road.

"Take anything you guys like." Claire replied nonchalantly. Claire had no interest in the ornants for little girls.

Sumr and Qiao Chuxin happily chose what they liked, grabbing anything they took a liking to, and the Claire would pay.

The bustling streets make Qiao Chuxin's eyes wide. She had never seen such a lively night.

Amidst the crowd, a gaze landed on Claire.

"Elder brother, it's that little girl again." It was the mysterious golden haired, blue eyed woman.

"We keep on crossing paths." The golden haired, blue eyed man laughed quietly. Suddenly, expression changed greatly, because he felt the bronzeware vibrate in the bag!What did this an? It ant that the pearl that had originally been part of the bronzeware was close, developing a resonance between the two!

"Elder brother, what is it?" The golden haired, blue eyed girl frowned slightly. Naturally, she discovered the man's strange response.

"The Azure Pearl is close by!" The man said with a low voice, very certain.

"What?" The blonde woman said exclaid quietly, surprised. "Close by? Elder brother, are you sure?"

"I'm sure. The Azure Ripple is vibrating, he can feel the Azure Pearl is nearby." The blonde man's expression started to beco anxious, then he looked in all directions. But it was so crowded, where could he find the Azure Pearl?

Right at this mont, the blonde man's expression changed again, because he saw clearly that a girl pull out an ordinary looking pearl clearly, and the pearl was vibrating!

"Claire, how strange. The pearl seems like it's having spasms, it keeps on vibrating." Sumr didn't understand why the pearl had been vibrating her bag continuously and had taken it out to give it to Claire.

Claire looked suspiciously at the pearl in her hand and starting pondering. The pearl was vibrating for no reason? It seed like it was resonating with sothing.

Suddenly, Claire felt two burning gazes on her. She looked up instantly and saw a man and won who looked similar to each other staring fiercely at her from within the crowd, or to be more accurate, staring fiercely at the pearl in her hand! And the woman gave Claire a familiar feeling. That pair of eyes….Ah! She rembered, it was the assassin from that night who could have killed her but didn't and also the woman who she had bumped into after stealing the goddess's gift.

What relation did they have with this pearl? Claire withdrew her gaze, looking at the pearl in her hand. She thought about the two's intense stare, then realized sothing.

Perhaps this pearl wasn't as simple as it seed.

"Claire?" Sumr's puzzled voice called Claire, making her co back to her senses.
