Chapter 610: Chapter 168 Love Declaration_5
Ah Dai was overjoyed. He firmly believed that with his current strength, he would have no problem defeating Xuan Ye without harming him. His gratitude towards Larthas had reached its peak. He had come here today to disrupt this wedding with a resolve to die, wishing only to completely express his love to Xuan Yue. Even if it meant death at the hands of the clergy, he would not let Xuan Yue marry someone else. This sudden turn of events stirred up a feeling of emerging from darkness into light, his excitement couldn’t help but surge.
The Pope inwardly gave a silent applause. He cast a glance at Xi Wen among the distinguished guests, thinking to himself, ’This must have been planned by you all along. Well, there’s no other choice now.’ He pretended to hesitate, then said: "Hmm, there’s no other way out now. But even if Ah Dai can defeat the sacrificer Xuan Ye, I can only cancel the wedding. He still has to face due punishment."
Larthas was suppressing the delight in his heart when he was about to speak. Suddenly, a somewhat sharp voice came from behind: "Wait, Your Holiness, we can’t let this boy off too easily!"
Larthas and the Pope were both irritated at once. They turned to look and saw Quan Yi in his brocade robe now standing beside Larthas. Initially, Quan Yi had thought that Xuan Yue must be an ugly woman and her suitor was simply trying to rise swiftly to power by marrying her. However, upon seeing Ah Dai appear and Xuan Yue reveal her true appearance, Quan Yi was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He had seen beautiful women before and his harem could definitely match up to three thousand beauties. But, a beauty like Xuan Yue, so utterly refined and filled with a sacred aura, was something he had never seen before, she was even more stunning than the Elf Princess. Envy surged in his heart; he wished to kill both the man on the stage and Ah Dai. He wouldn’t be satisfied until he himself could marry Xuan Yue. Now, seeing Larthas attempting to defuse the situation for Ah Dai, an intense mix of jealousy and hatred caused him to quickly intervene.
The Pope looked at Quan Yi, whose face had turned somewhat pale from indulgence in wine and women. He felt a wave of distaste and casually asked, "So, Your Majesty, how do you think we should proceed?"
Quan Yi gave the Pope a standard Church salute, usually performed by a believer to a Bishop, and said: "Despite being entrusted with the Empire of Sunset City, I will never forget that all of these are blessings from the Sky God. Today, this young man named Ah Dai dared to blaspheme the Sky God on this sacred Light Altar. I am filled with rage and even want to personally execute this blasphemer for the Sky God. Although Your Holiness is merciful and has valid reasons expressed by State Preceptor Larthas, we absolutely cannot let this blasphemer of the Sky God go that easily. In my opinion, if we want to reduce his culpability, we need to increase the difficulty of the test."
The Pope coldly responded: "So, in your opinion, how should we increase the difficulty?" Although he was extremely annoyed by the man in front of him, who had a gloomy face, he couldn’t vent his frustrations in front of so many clergy members.
Quan Yi sneered, and said: "I believe that Ah Dai should be tested by the four Red Bishops together. Only if he can end the fight with them in a draw can his blasphemy against Sky God be forgiven."
