Chapter 213: Chapter 47 Return to the Vatican_4
Nasha gently stroked her daughter’s long hair, smiling and said, "Silly girl. You’re too young to understand matters of the heart. I know you don’t want to stay in the church, you want to go find Ah Dai, right?"
Xuan Yue sat up abruptly, her voice trembling, "Mother, will... will you let me go?"
Nasha sighed. It seemed that her daughter was really deep in love. She was so enchanted by that simple-minded boy, that she didn’t realize it, "No."
Upon hearing her mother’s firm refusal, the hint of excitement on Xuan Yue’s face vanished, replaced by her disappointment.
Seeing her daughter’s disappointed expression, Nasha’s heart ached as she continued, "Yue Yue, you’re still too young. How can I let you roam around on the continent? With your current strength, you can’t even protect yourself. Your father told me about your adventures. If it weren’t for your luck, you would have been badly hurt. You are my only daughter, and I can’t let you take such risks. You’re not even sixteen!"
Xuan Yue was choked with emotion, "But, but mother, I really want to be with Ah Dai! I..."
Nasha covered Xuan Yue’s small mouth, "Stop talking. I understand how you feel. Your father was wrong to look down on Ah Dai just because of his humble origins. Although I don’t agree with you being with Ah Dai, I don’t want you to be unhappy. Happiness is something you have to fight for on your own. How about this, I will make a decision for your father. As long as you can surpass my strength and reach the level of a White Robe Priest, and if by then, you still can’t forget Ah Dai, I will agree to let you go find him. Then, I can rest assured!"
After hearing her mother’s words, a spark of hope reignited in Xuan Yue’s heart. She had thought that she would never be allowed to leave the church, but now that her mother had said this, there was hope. The power of a White Robe Priest? Maybe it was not that hard to achieve.
Nasha wiped the tears from Xuan Yue’s face and shook her head, "Girl, don’t get too excited. Do you think the strength of a White Robe Priest is easy to achieve? If it were, the church wouldn’t have so few of them. Being able to surpass my strength without using any divine artifacts is when you’ll truly have met the standards, but this is not something easy. Although you are talented, I don’t know how long it will take, it all depends on your effort."
Xuan Yue looked at her mother. For the first time in her life, she had such a strong desire for power, she said firmly, "Mother, I will definitely reach the power of a White Robe Priest as soon as possible. You must keep your word!"
Nasha smiled, "When have I ever broken my word? As you know, your father has to listen to me."
For the first time since returning to the church, Xuan Yue laughed happily, "Yes! Mother is so beautiful, if father doesn’t listen to you, you can ignore him. He fears that the most. The time when you were upset with him, he was so miserable, hehe."
Standing outside the door, Xuan Ye couldn’t help but shake his head with a bitter smile. Was he really that afraid of Nasha? After thinking about it, the answer was definitely yes. In this world, apart from his own father, what he feared most was probably his wife. Recalling last night’s passion, his heart fluttered.
After hearing her daughter’s words, Nasha’s face reddened slightly, "Don’t talk nonsense outside, your father is the Red Bishop of the church after all. If others hear you, it will be bad for his reputation, understand? Alright, now go change your clothes, I will call your father to bring you to meet your grandfather."
"Alright, mother, you go call father now, I can’t wait to start learning magic with grandfather." Xuan Yue inwardly resolved to enhance her abilities as soon as possible, so that when she would roam around the mainland with Ah Dai in the future, she would be able to help him. Just thinking back to the prospect of being with Ah Dai again brightened her spirits, banishing all the previous gloom from her mind.
Nasha left Xuan Yue’s room and holding onto her husband, who had been standing at the door for a while, went back to their bedroom.
"Husband, do you think Yue Yue will really forget Ah Dai through all her training?"
Xuan Ye replied confidently, "She certainly will. You know, Sacred Light Magic requires complete focus during meditation, without any distractions. If Yue Yue wants to reach the level of a White Robe Priest, she will have to train diligently. At that time, Ah Dai’s image in her heart will gradually fade, or even be completely forgotten. By the time she has mastered her powers, she would probably have long forgotten who Ah Dai was. Then, we can find the best candidate to be our son-in-law. Everything will be alright, right?"
Nasha still seemed a bit worried, "But what if she still has feelings for Ah Dai then? I’ve already promised her that I would let her go to find Ah Dai."
After some thought, Xuan Ye said, "It will be quite difficult for Yue Yue to reach your level. If she still can’t forget Ah Dai at that time as you said, then let her go to find him. Perhaps, Sky God has destined them to be together, and we are powerless to separate them. Moreover, I also made that bet with the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang. It seems, we’ll have to wait for the answer until five years later."
