Chapter 530: The High Priest of Yancheng
"The high priest seems to have something to discuss with you." Xilan Meng understood what the high priest meant.
"Looking for me?" Ye Luoxing was puzzled, but after hesitating for two seconds, he walked over.
A few minutes later, Ye Luoxing stopped in front of the high priest. She looked at the elderly female in front of her who looked like a human in her sixties or seventies. She was about 1.9 meters tall, a little taller than Ye Luoxing. She was wrapped in a long gray cloak. The wrinkles on her face could not hide her clear eyes. She was a female who looked very resolute and intelligent!
When she saw Ye Luoxing, she smiled politely and introduced herself: "Hello, female Ye Luoxing. I am Damu, the high priest of Yancheng. I have a few words to say to you alone. Do you have time?"
"Well... yes." Ye Luoxing agreed. She didn't sense any malice from her.
Dam nodded, turned to Xilanmon and said, "Xilanmon, you stay here and don't let irrelevant orcs get close."
Xilan Meng nodded respectfully: "Yes, High Priest."
Damu smiled politely at Ye Luoxing, turned and walked towards the river. Ye Luoxing glanced at Xilan Meng and followed her.
Finally, Dam stopped near the river. Here, Ye Luoxing could see the situation at the wooden house over there. It was very quiet around, so there was no need to worry about any orcs hearing their conversation.
Seeing the high priest in front of him turned around, Ye Luoxing took the initiative to ask her: "What do you want to say?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the high priest in front of her bending down towards her. Seeing this, Ye Luoxing was stunned, as she was not used to the etiquette of the elders.
She hurriedly asked, "What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to be like this."
Ye Luoxing stretched out her hand, wanting to help her up, but she didn't do it right away. First, she was worried that the female in front of her came to her for those female matters again. If it was like what happened in the morning, it would be difficult to deal with. Second, she saw that the female in front of her had slowly straightened up.
She did come to her because of the females, but she looked at Ye Luoxing sincerely, and the first sentence she said was: "Female Ye Luoxing, those male beasts made excessive demands on you because their partners were captured. Although they were anxious, they were wrong in this matter. You are a female, and I am the high priest of Yancheng. I did not manage them well, so I have to apologize to you!"
Ye Luoxing opened her mouth slightly, a little surprised. Obviously, she never expected that the high priest of Yancheng would come to apologize to her specifically for this matter.
High Priest Dam continued, "Yesterday, thanks to Tis and Pochen who stopped it in time, who knows how much trouble it would have caused. I don't know where you are from, but you were captured and brought to the West together with the group of females from the North. So many things have happened in the past few days. I think you have a bad impression of our West. Of course, it's reasonable for you to dislike the exotic beasts!"
"Yue Huang and the others did something wrong. They scared you the day they entered the city, and what happened yesterday was even worse..."
Dam shook her head and sighed. Her expression revealed helplessness and disappointment, and her hand holding the staff tightened.
Ye Luoxing looked at the older female in front of him. At least he didn't dislike the friendly aura she exuded.
She just said to Dam calmly: "You seem to be more reasonable than them. Do you think it is right for Xidi to capture females?"
High Priest Dam was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Yue Huang did something wrong. The hatred between the West and the North has lasted for too long. He captured a female from the North this time. On the day he entered the city, many orcs were celebrating. I thought this matter would not develop too far, but from that day on, something was wrong..."
"It seems that you are fully aware of what has happened during this period of time." Ye Luoxing's tone was still calm. Managing the Beast City was indeed not the main responsibility of the high priest. Ye Luoxing did not hate her being able to stand here and say these words at this moment.
The high priest sighed again: "Naya has been with me since she was little. I like this kid very much. But this time, she was unfortunately captured by the Yan beasts. I am very worried about her. At the same time, I can better understand how you feel when you are in Yancheng. This place is unfamiliar and even 'scary' to you. After what happened yesterday, I am more worried about Naya, but I can also better understand your situation."
"High Priest Dam..." Ye Luoxing murmured softly, as if he could sense her sadness.
The high priestess has no partner. Judging from her loving eyes, Naya must be like her female cub to her.
The high priest chuckled at her again, then looked at her seriously: "We are worried about the females in the West, and I think your relatives are also worried about you. Females cannot be traded. Today, in addition to apologizing to you, I also want to ask you to rest assured that neither you nor the group of females in the North will fall into the hands of the Yan beasts!"
When Dam said these words, Ye Luoxing couldn't help but feel even more touched. This old man was very gentle, which was completely different from the feeling she had when Yue Huang and the others who had imprisoned her made the promise.
"High Priest Damu, I understand what you mean, but..." Ye Luoxing hesitated and did not say the rest of the words.
She saw that Dam should have finished his words, so she thought about leaving without saying goodbye, but she didn't expect the old man in front of her to speak again.
Dam said to her sincerely, "I know you want to leave here, and so do the females in the North. Don't worry, I will arrange for you to leave after the trouble in the West is resolved. I will send them back to the North safely. However, there are still groups of Yan beasts in the West, so you should stay in the city for the time being to avoid danger!"
"You?!" Ye Luoxing's eyes widened this time. This was exactly what she had been wanting to say but stopped herself from saying. However, she did not expect that the high priest would actually offer to send them away. She thought she was just here to apologize, but she did not expect that her apology was "sincere".
"Have you made up your mind? Can Yue Huang and the others agree?" Ye Luoxing still asked this question.
The high priest smiled gently and said firmly: "Since I have said these words, I will do them. I am the high priest of Yancheng. No matter what they think in their hearts, I can send you away safely."
"..." Ye Luoxing and Yue Shang fell silent at the same time. The old man in front of them looked serious, but he looked amiable when he smiled.
After the high priest finished speaking, he stepped aside and said to her, "Okay, excellent female cub, go back and have a good rest. I hope what happened yesterday did not affect you!"
Damu turned and left. Ye Luoxing looked at her slowly disappearing back and finally called her.
"High Priest Dam!" Her voice was clear and floated into the ears of the female in front of her with the spring breeze by the river.
