Chapter 1161: Chapter 91: Xuan Yue? Xuan Re?_4
Ah Dai sighed inwardly. Although you look very much like Yue Yue and are her brother, how could Yue Yue’s place in my heart ever be replaced by you? Sighing helplessly, he said, "Did Yue Yue ask you to join me in roaming the continent in her stead? I think, let’s forget about it. Apart from revenge, there’s nothing on this continent that I long for. My enemy is the Assassin’s Guild. Since you are from the Church, it’s better not to get involved, otherwise, it’s not good for you or for the Church."
Watching Ah Dai’s disheartened appearance, Xuan Yue almost couldn’t resist telling him that she was Yue Yue, barely suppressing the excitement in her heart, and said, "Ah Dai, for my sister’s wish, let me follow you. Wasn’t it me who saved your life yesterday? My strength should be sufficient to help you, and with me by your side, you’ll avoid much trouble. A magician and a martial arts expert working together would be just perfect, wouldn’t it?"
"But I am going to seek revenge, not to travel. It’s too dangerous. I can’t agree to this."
"Revenge? It looks more like you’re heading to your death. Have you forgotten what happened yesterday? Those assassins almost took your life. The Assassin’s Guild surely has more than just those few assassins. That mysterious Assassin’s Guild President has never shown himself to the public; do you know how strong he is? With your power alone, can you really take revenge? Even if you had the ability to seek vengeance, do you know where the Assassin’s Guild is? You don’t know; you would only be searching blindly and could very likely fall into the Guild’s ambush once again. But with my help, it’s different. We can search together! At worst, I’ll stay out of the way when it comes time for you to take your revenge. That should be fine, right?"
Ah Dai was well aware that what Xuan Yue said was true. Although his own skills were not weak, they were insufficient for seeking revenge against the Assassin’s Guild. He sighed and asked, "After I passed out yesterday, what happened to those eight assassins? Did they just let me go?"
Seeing that Ah Dai’s tone was softening, Xuan Yue smiled and said, "They had no choice but to give up. That dragon of yours struck them from behind, causing them serious injuries. Coupled with my sudden appearance, and considering that holy magic is the bane of their dark energy, of course they had to flee."
Ah Dai sighed and said, "Those eight assassins were really formidable. Even if we joined forces, we might not be able to handle them. It’s too dangerous for you to follow me. If something happened to you, how could I ever explain it to Yue Yue?"
Xuan Yue responded contemptuously, "No matter how strong they are, they are part of the dark forces. The reason you suffered so badly is because you lack vigilance and you haven’t fully utilized the treasures you possess. Do you really think there’s nothing besides the Sword of Hades that can help you? Don’t forget, the Ring of Guardian on your left hand and the Dragon’s Blood around your neck are divine artifacts. Divine artifacts! Do you realize what that represents? It represents power. If a divine artifact could unleash all its potential, the terror would be beyond your imagination. What you need now is to learn how to use these two divine artifacts. Once you master their usage, together with me, you won’t have to fear those assassins."
Ah Dai scratched his head and said, "But how can I learn to use these two divine artifacts? Your father, Xuan Ye, initially said he would teach me how to use the Ring of Guardian. But after he found out I had the Sword of Hades, he changed his opinion of me drastically. He grew very hostile, and besides, I don’t want to ask anything of your Church."
Hearing Ah Dai mention her father, a chill ran through Xuan Yue’s heart. She recalled what her father had said to her; indeed, Xuan Ye was very hostile toward him, even detested him. If she were to spend time with Ah Dai in the future, her father would likely become the biggest obstacle. Xuan Yue looked down, contemplatively.
Ah Dai, thinking Xuan Yue was pondering the usage of the divine artifacts, consoled her, "Stop thinking about it. As for how to use the artifacts, I should figure it out myself. With some trial and error over time, I should be able to understand."
Xuan Yue snapped out of her thoughts, shook her head, and said, "No, trial and error won’t work. Could you actually guess the spells that activate the artifacts? Don’t worry, I have a way. ’With Phoenix’s Blood as the guide, open the gates of time and space.’" A red light shone, and the two tomes the Pope had originally given to her were accurately summoned by Xuan Yue, gently landing in her hands. With a smug smile, Xuan Yue handed the two tomes to Ah Dai and said, "These two record the usage of the Ring of Guardian and the Dragon’s Blood. Study them well. It was your sister who worried you weren’t strong enough and asked me to bring them to you."
Ah Dai’s heart jolted. Looking down at the tomes in his hands, the fragrant aroma from those Church-marked tomes filled the air. Ah Dai trembled slightly all over, his eyes reddening unconsciously. Yue Yue still thought of him! Always thought of him! Clutching the tomes in his arms, he was unable to speak, his eyes misty. His lips trembled slightly, "Yue Yue... did Yue Yue ask you to bring these? Yue Yue, you’re still thinking of me!"
Xuan Yue watched Ah Dai’s infatuated expression. A warm current flowed in her heart. How she wished she could replace those tomes in his embrace! Unable to contain her feelings for Ah Dai any longer, she said with excitement, "Ah Dai, actually I..."
