"Yeah." Lei Dianying looked at him and nodded slightly.
After leaving the castle tower, he rushed to the Naruko-taisha Shrine without stopping. He must ask the fox for a proper questioning.
Chapter 113: Reluctant Farewell
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the Narujin Taisha Shrine, giving this ancient and mysterious shrine a solemn and sacred glow. The cool evening breeze blows the green leaves of the sacred cherry tree, swaying gently, making a rustling sound, as if telling something.
At this time, Chiki Ueno ran to the gate of the shrine panting.
His clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to his skin, making him feel hot and uncomfortable. His lungs ached as if they were being pricked by needles, and every breath felt like a knife cutting him.
The shrine maiden Inashiro Hotaru looked at his miserable state and was a little curious. She stepped forward and asked, "Ueno Chiki, didn't you come to the shrine yesterday? Why are you here again?"
He panted, "Huff~, please, go and tell Yae, the chief priest, sir, that I want to see her."
But what he didn't expect was that Daocheng Yingmei frowned and said, "Lord Yae Gongji has gone on a long journey and will not be back in the near future."
Son of God, is this also within your expectations?
Ueno Chiki stood there, gritting his teeth in anger.
The image of the fox laughing triumphantly already appeared in his mind.
Standing there, he could only sigh helplessly, and secretly swore in his heart that one day he would make her understand how “powerful” he was!
.......
The next morning, the gentle sunlight sprinkled on the sea surface at the Inazuma Castle Ferry, and the originally calm sea surface was covered with a layer of light yellow light. The morning sea breeze also blew gently, bringing waves hitting the reefs, making bursts of light noises.
Ueno Chiki stood on the shore, his eyes fixed on the front, where Kamisato Ayaka and Yoshimiya were. His heart was filled with deep emotions, which were the reluctance and attachment to the two people he loved.
Kamisato Ayaka stepped forward and walked in front of him. Her eyes were full of concern and care for Ueno Chiki. The corners of her mouth moved slightly, as if she had thousands of words to say to him. But in the end, she just took a deep breath and said in a steady and deep tone: "Chiki, have a safe journey."
He heard her sincere and strong feelings in these simple words.
Without hesitation, he opened his arms, hugged her tightly in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry."
After a while, Ueno Chiki finally released his embrace. It was not that he did not want to continue to immerse himself in this warm moment, but he realized that Xiao Gong was still watching them quietly. He could not ignore her, as she was also an important person in his heart.
Kamisato Ayaka seemed to have sensed his concerns. She frowned slightly and glared at him angrily. Her tone was a warning and a hint of jealousy. "After you arrive at Xumi, you are not allowed to mess with other girls. Otherwise, you know what happened to Piyero in "Night Shift Hospital: ..."!"
A chill ran down Ueno Chiki's back and he swallowed. He knew what happened to Piero in the novel. In the end, the heroine Dotole chopped off Piero's calf with a pair of scissors, and then chopped off his head and put it in a box.
He quickly swore, "Linghua, I promise I will never mess with other girls again."
Kamisato Ayaka snorted coldly, and walked aside with a little dissatisfaction and expectation, leaving space for him and Xiao Gong. He noticed this subtle movement, and gratitude and apology surged in his heart.
He turned his head and his eyes fell on Xiao Gong again. She was still standing there quietly, the sea breeze blowing her hair, and her golden eyes revealed a complex emotion. There was deep affection, a hint of reluctance, and a subtle firmness in her eyes.
His heart trembled slightly, and he knew that he had to take the initiative and hug her.
He was about to take a step towards her, but saw that she had already walked towards him.
When Xiao Gong walked in front of him, he gently stretched out his hands and held her in his arms. Her body stiffened slightly, but soon relaxed and snuggled against his chest.
"Come back early, sister Linghua and I will be waiting for you here." Xiaogong said gently.
At this moment, Ueno Chiki was intoxicated by this warmth, and a strong desire surged in his heart. He wanted time to stop at this moment forever, so that he could hug Kamisato Ayaka and Yoshimiya for a long time and feel their presence and warmth. But reality did not allow him to do so, and he knew he had to make some achievements.
After a while, he woke up from this gentle state.
He loosened his arms and nodded to Kamisato Ayaka and Yoshimiya. His voice was full of confidence, "I'll be back soon!"
After saying this, he turned around and never looked back, walking towards the passenger ship bound for Xumi with firm steps.
Kamisato Ayaka and Xiao Gong stood there, quietly watching his back as he left, watching the passenger ship carrying him slowly disappear into the sky until it could no longer be seen.
However, even though he had disappeared from their sight, they still stood there, their hearts full of longing and prayer. They looked forward to the day when they would meet him again, hoping that he would have a safe journey on Xumi, and that he would return to them as a great hero.
Not far from the ferry, the sea breeze blew gently, and the sun shone through the clouds, illuminating two women with slender figures and beautiful faces. They stood there quietly, their eyes fixed on the passenger ship that was moving farther and farther away in front of them.
Yae Kamiko blinked her beautiful fox eyes and said with a smile, "Ying, why don't you go and see your sweetheart off?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, as if she was teasing Lei Diandian.
Lei Dianying had a calm expression. He turned his head with a hint of insight in his eyes. He sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Son of God, all this is your calculation."
"Plot? What plot?" Yae Shinto pretended to be dumb with an innocent look on his face, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
Lei Yingying looked at her, knowing in his heart that all this was carefully arranged by Yae Shenzi. Although she was slow to react, she was not stupid.
"What is your purpose in planning all this?"
"The purpose is of course to make you have a man who loves you and cares about you." Yae Shinko came close to her, and his jade-like slender hands began to slowly climb up to the soft peak. "As your dependent, I see that you are so lonely and bored in the castle tower every day, so I want to find a way to relieve your boredom. Hehe, this touch is getting better and better, I wonder if Qianshu has it,"
Lei Dianying slapped her dirty hands away in annoyance, but the moment her hand touched Yae Shenzi's, she noticed something strange and her face suddenly changed.
"Son of God, you actually......"
Chapter 114: The "Mom Hunter" in the Order House
In a spacious and bright office of the Ordinance House, a gentle and elegant young man sat at his desk.
He was wearing a high-necked tight vest that highlighted his tall posture and strong physique. His short smoky-gray hair was neat and natural, adding a touch of maturity and competence to his handsome face.
His face is gentle, and his facial features are three-dimensional and coordinated, like a handsome god in a classical sculpture. His eyes are emerald green, like clear lake water, sparkling with wisdom and concentration.
At this time, he was reading a light novel "Brokeback Mountain: ..." by Inazuma carefully.
This light novel has an indescribable attraction to him. Every plot makes him feel strongly involved, as if he is the rich man Pantaloni in the novel, and his roommate Kavi is Dally Duck who is so poor that he has to sell himself.
Just when he read the climax of the novel, his vision suddenly went dark, and then a line of text appeared, "Injunction of the Court of Religious Affairs: No one is allowed to spread, sell, or read the light novel by Inazuma."
Soon, the line of text disappeared, but it was deeply engraved in his mind.
"Azar, what are you doing?!" He frowned, unable to accept that this light novel was banned.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted his mood.
He rarely has such big emotional fluctuations. Usually he is as calm as an ice cube. After calming down, he began to think about the reason why Hazard issued this ban.
Over the past month, the behavior of the House of Lords has become increasingly strange and abnormal. The originally solemn and serious atmosphere has been replaced by an inexplicable sense of tension, as if a huge rock was dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples.
As a clerk, he has always been responsible for recording all meetings and instructions of the Decree Council. However, the great sage Azar deliberately excluded and avoided him, making it impossible for him to work normally.
Hazard's behavior is like a mystery, as if he is hiding something and planning something.
He stood up and prepared to talk to Hazard to see if he could find some clues and then infer Hazard's ultimate goal.
He straightened his clothes, took steady steps, and walked through the long circular corridor. The walls of the corridor were inlaid with ancient murals depicting the history and traditions of the Abbey, but he had no intention of appreciating them at the moment.
Finally, he arrived at the door of Hazard's office.
There was a middle-aged scholar standing quietly in front of the door. He was the assistant of the Great Sage Azar, the edict officer Uday. Upon seeing him coming, he immediately stepped forward and said politely, "Secretary Elhaisen, are you here to see the Great Sage?"
Elhaisen nodded.
Uday shook his head slightly. "I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while. The Great Sage is meeting with the Sage Nafis of the Asana School."
When he heard the name "Nafis", Elhaisen's heart skipped a beat and the expression on his face became a little strange.
In the House of the Magisterium, although the Great Sage Azar has the greatest power, when it comes to temper, Nafis is undoubtedly the worst. Nafis has a strong character and sharp words. Once he has a dispute with someone, he will not easily compromise.
Elhaisen stood outside the door, thinking to himself: I'm afraid the conversation inside is about to become tense.
As expected, a fierce quarrel broke out in the office. Even though he was standing outside the door, he could hear Nafis's loud and deep voice and...one word after another of obscene words.
At this time, in the office, Nafis, with gray hair but a vigorous face, was madly attacking Hazard.
"Azar, damn it, you son of a bitch, you actually dared to withhold our college's research funds."
"Fuck you, do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you're a great sage?"
"Fuck you, it was our academy that worked with the Great Compassion Tree King to cultivate the rainforest, which allowed the Xumi people to live a peaceful life."
"Fuck you! You dare to mess with us now? When I was a sage, you were still wearing diapers. Fuck you!"
"........."
Nafis always mentions Azar's biological mother, and no one can tolerate such insults.
Although Hazard had good personal qualities, he couldn't help but be irritated at this moment. He slammed the desk hard, and the loud sound seemed to vibrate the air around him.
He yelled, "Nafis, enough!" His voice was filled with suppressed anger.
This sudden roar made Nafis stunned for a moment. He stopped his continuous insults, pointed his finger at Azar, and asked, "Are you going to deduct our college's research funds? If you do, I will continue to scold you."
After hearing this, Azar was helpless and had to say gently: "Now is a critical moment. As long as our plan succeeds, Xumi will usher in a new future."
"Fuck you, you bastard, don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm asking you about funding. Besides, your plan has no chance of success." Nafis continued to curse. He was not optimistic about Hazard's plan at all.
"How can it be impossible to succeed? We have the Heart of God and the ultimate puppet. We can definitely create a new God." Azar said devoutly and fanatically.
"Fuck you. I didn't want to criticize your stupid plan, but you just had to come here to get scolded. You morons don't even know what God is, yet you want to create one. Isn't that ridiculous? Hazard, you bastard, you still call yourself a scholar. Where is the truth-seeking spirit in academic research?" Nafis criticized again.
At this moment, when Azar heard Nafis insulting his plan, his face immediately turned ashen and his eyes became colder and colder, like the north wind in the cold winter, sharp and biting. His fingers turned white because of the force, and every joint revealed his inner anger.
He could accept Nafis's personal attacks on him, but he could not accept his criticism of the great plan of creating gods.
"Nafis, stop talking. I promise not to withhold the research funds of Amyrido College." He said calmly, but underneath this calmness was a boundless murderous intent.
"That's more like it." After getting the result he wanted, Nafis stopped attacking Hazard and walked out the door contentedly.
Chapter 115 The Seventh School
Nafis, in a good mood, pushed open the office door and found Alhaisen standing outside. He stepped forward and gently patted his shoulder, saying enthusiastically: "Alhaisen, if you have time, come to Amirido College more often. Believe me, you will like the Ascension School."
After hearing this, Elhaisen respectfully responded to Nafis: "Sage Nafis, I don't have this plan for the moment." His tone was calm, without the slightest arrogance, and he firmly stated his position.
After hearing this, Nafis showed a regretful expression. He looked at Elhaisen as if he saw the possibility of missing out on something wonderful.
His eyes were full of regret, and his voice also revealed deep regret: "What a pity."
Then, he left somewhat disappointed.
Elhaisen was very emotional. Nafis was one of the few scholars he respected in the academy, but it was a pity that he was more interested in symbols and language.
Then, Alhaisen said to Uday, "Master Uday, please go in and report. I want to see the Great Sage."
After hearing this, Uday the Mufti immediately opened the door of the room and walked in without saying a word.
However, after just a moment, he came out in a panic, with an expression of embarrassment and helplessness on his face.
He looked at Elhaisen, and said with a hint of apology in his tone: "Secretary Elhaisen, I'm sorry, the Great Sage doesn't want to see anyone right now."
