Chapter 1530: Chapter 171 Spy Appears
The eight second-generation disciples of the Tian Gang Sword Sect leapt onto the Light Altar, forming a circle. Each extended an arm, pressing on different acupoints of Ah Dai to help him circulate energy. A white light akin to Light Magic enveloped the entire altar, while Xuan Yue anxiously waited on the side. She knew that in cases like Ah Dai’s, where he had deviated into madness, it was much better for his senior brothers to use True Qi from the same source to help him than for her to treat him with Light Magic. Misaligned and damaged meridians were different; damage could be treated with magic, but misalignment was beyond magic’s reach. The Pope landed beside Xuan Yue, gently stroking his granddaughter’s hair and communicated telepathically, "Don’t worry, he will be fine. After all, you mustn’t forget, he is the Savior foretold by the Prophet Pu Lin! Yue Yue, do you still want to marry Bu Yi? If you do, as long as I’m here, Ah Dai won’t be able to stop it."
Xuan Yue’s face flushed, a rosy hue rising on her fair cheeks, as she shyly said, "Grandfather, you’re teasing me. I never intended to marry anyone else anyway."
The Pope glanced at the dazed Ba Bu Yi below the altar and said, "However, Ah Dai’s timely arrival isn’t quite fair to Bu Yi, is it? This incident might be a huge blow to him. How do you plan to explain this to the Ba Family? Earlier, I used Ah Dai’s identity as the Savior to handle those ordinary clergy members, but you should know, the Ba Family isn’t so easily dealt with."
Xuan Yue snorted coldly and said, "If it weren’t for Ba Bu Yi, Ah Dai and I wouldn’t have separated in the first place. He’s the one who subjected us to the pain of separation and almost broke us apart. Doesn’t he deserve a little bit of a lesson? I have no intention of explaining anything to him, nor do I need to. My heart belongs to Ah Dai, and it will forever."
Sighing, the Pope said, "Leave this matter to me." At that moment, the eight second-generation disciples of the Tian Gang Sword Sect gradually finished their work, almost simultaneously opening their eyes. Xuan Yue anxiously approached Xi Wen and asked urgently, "Master, how is he? Is he out of danger?"
Xi Wen smiled slightly and said, "Don’t worry. The level of cultivation Ah Dai has reached now isn’t so easily threatened. His internal energy has stabilized, and after resting for a few days, he’ll be back to normal. You’ll just need to take good care of him!"
Upon hearing Ah Dai was alright, Xuan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, taking Ah Dai from Lu Wen’s hands, letting him lean into her embrace, holding his somewhat cold hand tightly, her heart full of tenderness.
Suddenly, applause broke out, an icy voice saying, "Wonderful! Wonderful! You truly are a pair of passionate lovers, aren’t you?" With a flash, Luo Shui glided onto the Light Altar, her stunningly beautiful face shrouded in frost, eyes blazing with fire, and everyone could feel the intense hatred emanating from her. The Ba father and son followed her onto the altar. Though Ba Bu Lun was equally angry, his gaze did not hold Luo Shui’s fierce intensity. Ba Bu Yi, on the other hand, looked bewildered, his face pale as a sheet. The trio approached Ah Dai and Xuan Yue step by step.
The Pope walked to Xuan Yue’s side, sighing softly, and said, "Bu Lun, this situation is indeed Yue Yue and Ah Dai’s fault, but since they truly love each other, let them be together."
Before Ba Bu Lun could speak, Luo Shui shouted excitedly, "Let them be together, and what about my son? If they’re truly in love, why did Xuan Yue agree to marry Bu Yi? Pope, you must give our family an explanation, or we will not let this go." The killing intent continuously seeped from Luo Shui, causing the Pope to frown slightly.
Ba Bu Lun pulled his wife back and said to the Pope, "Your Holiness, please forgive Luo Shui’s rudeness, she is simply too upset. However, with this situation, how do we remain in the court? Although Ah Dai passed the test of the three Red Robe Priests and can be forgiven for desecrating the Sky God, this wedding cannot just be annulled. Yue Yue is my family’s daughter-in-law, and this result is something no one can change. Your Holiness, please reconsider."
The Pope found himself in a difficult position as it was indeed inappropriate for Xuan Yue, and he was unsure how to explain to the Ba Family. In the midst of these complex emotions, no one noticed the graceful movements of Luo Shui, who supposedly didn’t know martial arts, as she ascended the altar.
Xuan Yue handed Ah Dai to Xi Wen, slowly stood up from the ground, and bowed to Luo Shui and Ba Bu Lun, saying, "Aunt Luo Shui, Uncle Ba Bu Lun, I’m sorry, this is Yue Yue’s fault. However, Yue Yue truly loves Ah Dai. I cannot possibly become a couple with Brother Bu Yi. I told him long ago that I only see him as an older brother. I’m truly sorry. Please forgive Ah Dai and me."
Ba Bu Lun said angrily, "Since you don’t like Bu Yi, why did you agree to marry him? Don’t you realize how much this hurts him? Yue Yue, you’re too selfish."
Xuan Yue raised her eyebrows, pouting slightly, "You’re right, I fooled you, I fooled Brother Ba Bu Yi. But, Uncle Bu Lun, you should remember the time in the Elf Forest when Brother Bu Yi tricked Ah Dai, right? Hasn’t he harmed Ah Dai enough? This is merely retribution, a bitter fruit Brother Bu Yi sowed himself, and now he must reap. I love Ah Dai, and I will love only him in my life; this will never change. Brother Bu Yi, give up on it. There are many better girls in the court than I am, and I’m sure you will find a good match." As she finished, Xuan Yue looked at the trembling Ba Bu Yi, her heart softened. Ah Dai’s arrival at the final moment had dispelled all her sorrow and resentment, leaving only the desire to stay forever with her beloved.
