Chapter 428: Chapter 91 Xuan Yue? Xuan Re?_4
Ah Dai sighed quietly, thinking to himself, "Although you look a lot like Yue Yue and you are her brother, you could never take her place in my heart." With a reluctant sigh, he said, "Did Yue Yue ask you to take her place and venture across the continent with me? I think it’s better if we forget about that. Apart from seeking revenge, there’s nothing left for me in this world. My enemy is the Assassin’s Guild. Since you are part of the Church, it would be better for you to stay out of this. It would not end well for either of you or the Church."
Watching Ah Dai’s sorrowful expression, Xuan Yue almost couldn’t resist telling him that she was actually Yue Yue. She managed to suppress the growing excitement in her heart and said, "Big brother Ah Dai, for my sister’s sake, please let me accompany you. Didn’t I save your life yesterday? I’m strong enough to help you. Having me by your side would ease many of your troubles. We form a perfect duo - a mage and a martial arts master."
"But, I’m going for revenge, not sight-seeing! It’s too dangerous, I can’t agree to that."
"Revenge? More like a death wish. Have you forgotten what happened yesterday? Those assassins nearly killed you. The Assassin’s Guild surely has more than just a few assassins. The elusive President of the Assassin’s Guild has never shown himself in public, do you know how strong he is? Using your own strength alone, can you really take your revenge? Even if you are able to, do you even know where the Assassin’s Guild is located? Without this knowledge, you’ll blindly pursue your revenge and likely fall into their ambush yet again. But if you have me, things will be different. We can look for them together. At most, I’ll stay out of your way when you take your revenge. Can’t we agree on this?"
Ah Dai knew very well that Xuan Yue was speaking the truth. Although he was already quite formidable, going against the Assassin’s Guild was still too risky. He sighed and asked, "What happened to the eight assassins after I passed out yesterday? Did they just let me get away that easily?"
Xuan Yue saw that Ah Dai was beginning to relent and smiled gently, "They had no choice but to let you go. Your dragon snuck up on them and inflicted considerable damage. Add to that my sudden appearance, and their dark energy being weak against my holy magic, it was only natural for them to flee."
Ah Dai sighed, "Those eight assassins were really powerful, even if we banded together, we might not be able to handle them. It’s too dangerous for you to follow me, and if anything were to happen to you, I don’t know how I would ever face Yue Yue."
With a tone of disdain, Xuan Yue replied, "No matter how strong the assassins are, they are just part of the Dark Forces. The reason you suffered that much is because you were not vigilant enough and you didn’t fully utilize the treasures you possess. Do you think the Sword of Hades is the only artifact that can help you? Don’t forget, the Ring of Guardian you wear on your left hand and the Dragon’s Blood you wear around your neck are also Divine Artifacts. Divine Artifacts! Do you know what that means? They represent power. If the full power of a Divine Artifact could be utilized, its terrifying force would be beyond your imagination. What you need now is to learn how these two Divine Artifacts operate. Once you master them, along with my aid, you wouldn’t have to fear those assassins."
Ah Dai scratched his head and said, "But how can I learn to operate these Divine Artifacts! Xuan Ye, your father, initially wanted to teach me how to use the Ring of Guardian. But once he found out I had the Sword of Hades, his attitude towards me changed drastically. He was completely repelled by me, and besides, I don’t want to owe anything to the Church."
Hearing Ah Dai mention her father, Xuan Yue’s heart tightened. She immediately recalled her father’s words to her, and indeed as Ah Dai had said, Xuan Ye was very much opposed, even disgusted by him. If she wanted to be with Ah Dai in the future, her father would likely pose the biggest obstacle. Xuan Yue dropped her gaze, lost in thought.
Ah Dai thought that Xuan Yue was considering how to use the Divine Artifacts and comforted her, "Stop thinking about it. I’ll figure out how to use these Divine Artifacts on my own. With some more time and exploration, I’ll understand them."
Xuan Yue regained her composure, shook her head and said, "No, mere exploration is not enough. Can you figure out the spell activation codes of the artifacts by just exploring? Don’t worry, I have a way. Using the blood of the Phoenix as a guide, open the doors of time and space." A red glow lit up as the two scriptural tomes given to her by the Pope were accurately summoned by Xuan Yue, who handed them over to Ah Dai, "These two contain the usage methods of the Ring of Guardian and the Dragon’s Blood. You should study them carefully. Yue Yue had me bring them as she was worried about your lack of strength."
A shock ran through Ah Dai’s heart as he looked down at the scriptural tomes in his hands. The subtly fragrant tomes embossed with the Church’s emblem triggered a light shiver throughout Ah Dai’s body, causing his eyes to moisten. Yue Yue is still thinking about me! She has always been thinking about me! Holding the tomes tightly, Ah Dai was lost for words, his eyes filled with confusion. With trembling lips, he said, "Yue Yue, did she have you bring these? Yue Yue, she’s still thinking about me!"
Watching Ah Dai in his dazed state, Xuan Yue felt a warm current flowing in her heart. How she wished she could be in the place of those tomes right now, held in his embrace! Unable to contain her feelings any longer, she blurted out excitedly, "Ah Dai, actually I..."
