Chapter 1167: Chapter 92: Contradictory Psychology_5
Ah Dai sighed, "I know the importance of enhancing my power, but I’ve reached a bottleneck now, and it’s incredibly difficult to improve further. Perhaps, that realm is something I may never achieve in my lifetime. I can’t keep waiting indefinitely!"
"Realm, is it? Although the concept of a realm is elusive and hard to grasp, it’s not entirely without solution. In the face of danger or when provoked, a realm could suddenly improve. How will you know if you don’t try? I actually have a method that could very likely help you advance to a new level." Having said that, Xuan Yue gave a mysterious smile.
Ah Dai’s heart leapt with joy, knowing that Yue Yue’s brother wouldn’t be careless with his words. He quickly asked, "What method?"
Xuan Yue smiled and said, "Now is not the time to tell you. Your primary task is to first master the use of several Divine Artifacts, and then, just follow my lead."
Ah Dai, puzzled, said, "Follow your lead? I..."
Xuan Yue interrupted him, "What? Is that not okay? Even if you don’t trust me, don’t you trust Yue Yue? I am the person Yue Yue trusts the most. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have sent me to find you."
Hearing him mention Yue Yue, Ah Dai deflated like a punctured ball, unable to find a reason to refuse, and said reluctantly, "Alright then, but I don’t have much time left. By the year 999 of the Holy Calendar, I still have two important duels to complete. There’s less than two years left, and I want to settle things with the Assassin’s Guild."
Xuan Yue, remembering Ah Dai’s duel with his father, shuddered. Torn between her father and her lover, both of whom were her dearest, how could she choose!
Xuan Yue sighed silently to herself. Forget it, it’s still too early to think about these things. Isn’t there still two years left? We’ll see when the time comes. Perhaps by the time of the duel, there could be another way to resolve their conflict. With that thought, she nodded and said, "Two years is enough time. We can spend a year enhancing your strength, and then go settle the score with the Assassin’s Guild. You should know the power of the church by then, and I can surely use that power to get accurate information from the Guild."
Ah Dai frowned and said, "Using the church’s power doesn’t seem right. After all, I have no real connection with the church."
In Xuan Yue’s heart, Ah Dai was already considered as one of her own, and she blurted out, "How can you say there’s no connection?" As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized her blunder, and quickly defended, "Aren’t you acquainted with my sister and me? That’s your connection to the church! Alright, that’s settled then. After a whole day of cultivation, aren’t you supposed to get some fruit for me to eat? I’ll go with you; I want to see what the fruit garden here looks like, to produce such delicious fruits."
Ah Dai said, "Alright, I’ll take you there."
The two of them got out of bed, and Ah Dai picked up a bamboo basket and left the room.
As evening descended, the setting sun dyed the mists of the Illusive Forest a light orange, creating a captivating sight. Sheng Xie was still lying there, engulfed in his pleasant dreams. Ah Dai took Xuan Yue’s hand and said, "Come, I’ll take you. It’s hard to make out directions in the thick mist of the fruit garden; it’s better if I hold your hand." Unbeknownst to him, Ah Dai had already grown to like the feeling of holding Xuan Yue’s hand, something even he hadn’t realized.
