Chapter 837: Chapter 24 The Light of Tranquility_3
Ah Dai was stunned, "Why would they use us as scapegoats? We didn’t do anything!"
Yue Ji curled her lips and said, "You’re too naive. Wouldn’t the murderer hiding in the dark frame us? Although we returned with Yan Shi, don’t forget, the people of the Pu Yan tribe are very united, they wouldn’t suspect their own clansmen, but we foreigners are the ones likely to be suspected."
Moon Scar sighed, "My sister makes sense; our visit to meet the Clan Leader of Pu Yan is very unpredictable!"
Yan Shi’s wife had died, and Ah Dai had felt very depressed. Although his interaction with Yan Shi was brief, he had liked Yan Shi’s forthright and bold personality.
"Hmm." Xuan Yue moved her body slightly, lifting her head that was resting on Ah Dai’s shoulder, looked at him with bleary eyes, and said vaguely, "Where is this? I feel so uncomfortable! My whole body is soft."
Remembering the scene when Xuan Yue had used The Light of Tranquility, Moon Scar looked at her admiringly, "Miss Xuan Yue, your magic is really incredible. To reach such a realm at your age, you must have practiced hard for a long time."
Xuan Yue looked at Moon Scar, sat up straight, her face turning slightly red. At the church, she was known for being naughty, even her father couldn’t control her, let alone make her practice seriously. She hardly ever practiced properly. If it weren’t for the Holy Power of the Pope and the Red Bishop purifying her body, she probably wouldn’t have reached even the Junior Magician level by now.
"Big brother Moon Scar, are we setting off now? That Yan Shi, is he alright now? It’s so frightening, his wife’s death was too horrifying."
Moon Scar gave a bitter smile and repeated what he had just said to Ah Dai.
After hearing Moon Scar’s account, Xuan Yue snorted angrily, "They can’t be unreasonable, we were trying to help them! Eh, Ah Dai, why are you holding my hand?"
Ah Dai’s face turned red, "No, no, it’s not me holding your hand; it’s you who has been holding onto me!"
Xuan Yue released Ah Dai’s hand and spat, "You’re lying! Who is holding onto your hand, dummy? Are you trying to take advantage of me?"
Yue Ji tossed her fiery red hair back, a cold expression on her face, and said impatiently, "It’s so dangerous now and you still have the mood to quarrel about who’s taking advantage of whom. Ever since you used that magic yesterday, your hands have been clasped together. We couldn’t even pull them apart. Just accept that you’re taking advantage of each other."
Xuan Yue stuck her tongue out at Yue Ji, glanced at Ah Dai, and said, "It must be because you transferred your magic power to me; that’s why this happened, right, Ah Dai?"
Ah Dai shook his slightly stiff right hand and said, "I...I’m not sure, maybe. Miss, back at the Mage Guild, your father gave me a magic scroll. He said I could use it to reach him in times of danger. Maybe we should use this scroll now. Big brother Moon Scar said the Pu Yan tribe might be unfavorable to us!"
Xuan Yue’s eyes widened, "You wouldn’t dare. It took such effort for dad to finally let go of me. If I bring him here, I’ll just get dragged back. No using it, got it? Even if it’s dangerous, I’m not afraid. Ah! What did you just call me? Before I used The Light of Tranquility, what did you promise to call me?"
Ah Dai then remembered he had promised to call Xuan Yue ’Yue Yue.’ He stuttered, "Okay, okay, Yue, Yue Yue."
Yue Ji burst out laughing and mocked, "So affectionate, huh? Yue Yue, does that make you Dai Dai?"
Xuan Yue first glared at Yue Ji, then said satisfied, "That’s more like it. Ah Dai, how did Yan Shi’s wife die, anyway? He really is pitiful. It seems he and his wife were very close; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone completely berserk. I wonder who could be so cruel to kill his wife."
Yue Ji added, "It was rape followed by murder. The person must be a perverted sadist. If I find out who it was, I’d just chop it off."
Xuan Yue curiously asked, "Chop off what?"
When Yue Ji heard Xuan Yue’s naive question, her face turned red and she spat, "Go ask Ah Dai; I won’t tell you."
Moon Scar frowned, "Little sister, you’re becoming more and more inappropriate. Such things aren’t for a girl like you to say. Miss Xuan Yue, don’t listen to her nonsense."
Xuan Yue curiously looked at the blushing Yue Ji and murmured, "Where is ’there’?"
Moon Scar, feeling embarrassed, glanced at the confused Ah Dai and changed the subject, "According to the Pu Yan people, it’s a two-day journey from Yan Shi’s tribe to his father’s tribe. It’s already been over a day, so we should arrive before nightfall today. This incident has caused quite a stir; the Pu Yan tribe is a major tribe in the Federation. The unexplained rape and murder of the Clan Leader’s son’s wife will surely stir up trouble. I wonder how their Clan Leader will deal with it. According to the Pu Yan people who investigated the scene that time, no suspicious traces were found; the neighbors didn’t hear any disturbance at Yan Shi’s house. The criminal seems to be a sadist; Yan Shi’s wife’s arms and legs were completely broken, she suffered immense pain before her death. After the rape, the murderer used a sharp weapon to penetrate her lower body, killing her. The method was extremely gruesome, definitely that of a murderous demon."
