Chapter 599: Chapter 166: All the Guests Have Arrived_4
Xi Wen had heard about Ah Dai resuscitating Prophet Pu Lin from Yan Shi, and asked with concern, "How is the prophet’s health now, has he fully recovered?"
Pu Lin smiled and said, "Since I took over as the prophet of the Pu Yan Clan, my body has never been as good as it is now. Sect Leader Xi Wen, I assume you came over to ask about Ah Dai. Don’t worry, by tomorrow, everything will naturally be clear. If the heavens have destined him and Xuan Yue to be together, they will definitely not part."
Xi Wen thought to himself, isn’t that the same as saying nothing? He worriedly said, "I’m afraid that Ah Dai, that foolish boy, won’t be able to arrive in time, which could be troublesome."
Yan Shi walked to his father’s side and said quietly, "If all else fails, we’ll just have to prevent the wedding. We can’t let Ah Dai and Yue Yue be separated."
Kary frowned and said, "But doing so would be tantamount to going against the entire church. I’m afraid there would be serious consequences."
Xi Wen and Prophet Pu Lin exchanged a glance, saying, "Let’s not discuss this now. Everyone can come to my room tonight, and we’ll discuss our strategies. Also, Prophet Pu Lin, Larthas came to see us just now, you probably also saw it, what do you think of him?"
Pu Lin smiled slightly, saying, "I know Larthas fairly well. The way he is now is different from before; you could say he’s seen the light. I think the Tian Jing Mage Guild will no longer conflict with the Continental Mage Guild. You can trust him completely. Yan Shi’s suggestion is also a possibility, if worst comes to worst, we can simply resort force. Although those of us here are not a match for the church, the power backing us, is something the Pope has to consider. You can rest assured, Ah Dai is a good, kind-hearted boy. He won’t be let down by the heavens. He’ll rise to the top after enduring the hardest trials. The tribulations the Savior must face are about to end."
Seeing Pu Lin’s certainty, Xi Wen’s worries were somewhat alleviated. He nodded and said, "Let’s wait until this evening to discuss everything. Cheers." He drank his cup of wine in one gulp and returned to his own table with Feng Wen and Kary. Watching the three of them return, Pu Lin whispered to Yan Shi sitting next to him, "Tonight, invite the people from the Elf Clan as well. After Ah Dai arrives tomorrow, we need to support him and give the Pope a reason." Yan Shi didn’t seem surprised by Pu Lin’s inscrutable words, and after nodding, he and Yan Li went to the Elf Clan’s table.
In the morning, the sun shone brightly on the earth. Under the rising sun, the church’s Divine Mountain was bathed in a golden glow, looking even more sacred. Today was the big wedding day for the church’s Red Robe Priest, and all the clergy were mobilized to ensure no mistakes were made. The Sacred Knight Legion from the church had cordoned off the entire Divine Mountain. Apart from notable figures invited by the church, no one else was allowed to enter the Divine Mountain. All around the Grand Hall of the Divine Mountain, you could see bustling priests and judges, busily making the final preparations for the upcoming wedding.
In Deputy Judge Ballon’s home, Ballon was dressing up in his wedding clothes with his parents’ assistance. He was wearing a white wedding garment, adorned with intricate golden patterns. The garment, to which Xuan Ye had personally added holy magic, not only brimming with sacred energy but it also had a defensive power that was on par with a suit of Heavy Armor. It was custom-made for Ballon by Xuan Ye.
Seeing her son’s handsome face and joyous expression, Luo Shui smiled and said, "You silly boy, after today, you will truly become an adult. In the future, you must work even harder. Yue Yue is now the acting Red Robe Priest of the church. You need to attain a position of at least a Deputy Judge or higher to be worthy of her. Yue Yue is a good girl, but she’s a bit too naughty. You need to manage her more, don’t be like your father, who doesn’t have a shred of masculinity."
Ballon protested, "How do I not have any masculinity? I just love you and that’s why I listen to you and follow your advice. Don’t embarrass me in front of our son."
Luo Shui, clearly in high spirits, chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, Deputy Judge. But son, Yue Yue is not like me. After all, she has loved someone else before. So, after the wedding, you must keep a close eye on her so she doesn’t run away with someone."
Ballon gave an awkward smile and said, "Mom, that won’t happen. Yue Yue isn’t that kind of person. Since she has agreed to marry me, I’m sure she will stay with me. I am content to have a wife like Yue Yue. I will touch her heart with my sincere love, just like how dad moved you."
Ballon’s father, Ballon, laughed heartily and said, "Yes, yes, that’s my good son. Yue Yue has good taste, she knows my son is much better than that Ah Dai. It’s only a suave, handsome, and accomplished young man like my son that can match her. You are the protagonist today, so you must perform well and not give others the impression that you married her only because of Yue Yue’s position."
Ballon nodded decisively and said, "I truly love Yue Yue. What others say doesn’t matter, I will prove my love for Yue Yue through my actions. Dad, should we leave now?"
