Chapter 1146: Chapter 88: Memory Restoration_4
"If Ah Dai was just an ordinary civilian, Grandfather would never agree to your association with Him. Because you are my granddaughter, and your father, Xuan Ye, is the most likely candidate to become the next Pope. In the Holy See, your status is equivalent to that of a Princess; how could someone of your status develop feelings for a mere civilian?" Watching Xuan Yue’s face turn pale, the Pope said with a smile, "Don’t worry, Grandfather hasn’t finished speaking! Although I oppose relationships with someone of unequal status, I don’t object to your association with Ah Dai. You once said that Ah Dai might be the Savior of the millennium catastrophe, although I can’t be certain of that claim. However, it’s very possible that Prophet Pu Lin of the Pu Yan tribe has made an accurate prediction, and judging from the current situation, his conjecture is gradually becoming reality. Both you and Ah Dai have achieved feats that ordinary people could never accomplish; your progress has been incredibly rapid. If you and Ah Dai truly are the Saviors of this calamity, arranged by the Sky God to be together, how could Grandfather go against the Sky God’s will? Child, I know you miss him very much right now and want to find him as soon as possible, but you have been separated for three years. Without Grandfather’s help, I’m afraid you might not be able to find any trace of him even after years, so be patient and listen to the end of what Grandfather has to say."
Xuan Yue’s eyes lit up with joy, "Grandfather, do you know where Ah Dai is?"
The Pope said with a smile, "Although I don’t know where he is, I am confident that you can find him. The Ah Dai you knew before isn’t the same. In the three years you’ve forgotten about him, too much has happened on the continent. A year ago, your Ah Dai became a Grim Reaper known to the world, and in the Empire of Sunset, at least a thousand lives were claimed by his hand."
Hearing the Pope’s words, Xuan Yue trembled, took a step back with a pale face, and said shakily, "No, that’s impossible. Ah Dai couldn’t have killed so many people; he’s so kind, how could he become the Grim Reaper?"
The Pope sighed and said, "I am not quite clear about the specifics, but you needn’t worry too much. Those Ah Dai killed were members of the Dark Forces within the Sunset Empire. It seems that he killed in order to rescue the Elves, and nearly all those he killed had it coming. What Grandfather wants to tell you is, Ah Dai’s abilities have changed astronomically compared to when you were together. Even your father might have difficulty defeating him now."
A flash of astonishment swept through Xuan Yue’s wide eyes, and she said with relief, "Ah Dai has the Sword of Hades; of course, ordinary people can’t deal with him."
The Pope shook his head gravely, "No, what Grandfather is saying is based on the premise that he isn’t using the Sword of Hades. The Judgment Chief once personally tested Ah Dai’s skills and almost fell to him. You aren’t unaware of your uncle’s abilities, are you?"
Xuan Yue’s mouth opened wide in surprise as she muttered, "Grandfather, you can’t be joking with me. My uncle is the most formidable person I’ve met besides you. Oh, no, the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang also seems very powerful. It’s impossible for Ah Dai to compete with my uncle."
The Pope gave a wry smile, "If it weren’t a fact before my eyes, I wouldn’t believe it either, but it is true. Do you remember, almost a year ago, I used the Divine Healing Technique in the Prayer Temple? You even asked me whom I was saving; that time, it was to save Ah Dai. Although Ah Dai launched his most powerful attack and nearly defeated your uncle, he also paid a heavy price. The powerful attack he unleashed shattered many of his vital meridians, and he nearly died."
Xuan Yue became anxious, grabbing the Pope’s garments, "Grandfather, why didn’t you tell me earlier? How is Ah Dai? How is he?"
The Pope replied, "I didn’t tell you at the time because I was afraid it would affect your meditation; that was the most crucial moment in your cultivation. Rest assured, do you still not know how powerful Grandfather’s Divine Healing Technique is? With the combined efforts of Grandfather and your uncle, we could bring back a breath of life even in a dead person. We treated Ah Dai at that time, and he recovered. However, after he was healed, he immediately left the Holy See."
Upon hearing that Ah Dai was alright, Xuan Yue immediately relaxed, her pretty face blushing slightly with a coy expression, "Then, didn’t he mention me? Having come to the Holy See, why didn’t he look for me?"
The Pope shook his head, "He didn’t mention you in front of me, but when he left, he seemed a bit off, as if in a heavy mood."
Xuan Yue muttered dreamily, "Ah Dai, why didn’t you come to see me? Could it be that you’ve forgotten Yue Yue?" Overwhelmed by a powerful longing, Xuan Yue said resolutely to the Pope, "Grandfather, since you don’t object, I will go find Ah Dai right now."
The Pope nodded, "Alright, Grandfather won’t stop you. With your current Magic Level, self-protection is not a problem. When facing enemies, you must not be careless, having the Angel Wand and the Divine Artifacts Phoenix Blood, Grandfather can rest easy."
"Grandfather, then how can I find Ah Dai?"
The Pope’s lips moved slightly, and the light elements in the Temple of Light fluctuated. He casually drew a line in the air, causing a rift to appear. The Pope reached into the rift and pulled out two books that were not very thick, pointing to the one with a red cover, he said, "Do you remember the magic spells related to Phoenix’s Blood that Grandfather taught you?"
