"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 being 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 with a face that showed she was very resolute and intelligent!
When she saw Ye Luoxing, she smiled politely and introduced herself: "Hello, Ye Luoxing, I am Damu, the high priest of Yancheng. I have a few words to say to you in private. Do you have time?"
"Well... yes." Ye Luoxing agreed. She didn't sense any malice from her.
Dam nodded, turned to Xilanmeng and said, "Xilanmeng, you stay here and don't let any unrelated 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. The surroundings were very quiet, so there was no need to worry about 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 bowing to her. Seeing this, Ye Luoxing was stunned. 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 directly. First, she was worried that the female in front of her was looking for her because of those female matters again. If it was like 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 had indeed come to her because of the females, but she looked at Ye Luoxing sincerely, and the first words she said were: "Female Ye Luoxing, those male beasts made excessive demands on you because their mates were captured. Although they were anxious, they were wrong in this matter. You are a female, and as the high priest of Yancheng, I did not manage them well. I am also responsible, so I need to apologize to you!"
Ye Luoxing opened her mouth slightly in surprise. She obviously 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 intervened in time, who knows how much more chaos would have ensued. I don't know where you're from, but you were captured and brought to the West with those females from the North. With so much going on these days, I'm sure you have a bad impression of us in the West. Of course, it's understandable that you don't like exotic beasts!"
"Yue Huang and the others did something wrong. They scared you the day they entered the city, and even that happened yesterday..."
Dam shook her head and sighed. Her expression revealed helplessness and disappointment, and her hand gripping 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 simply said to Dam calmly, "You seem more reasonable than them. Do you think it's right for Xidi to capture the female?"
High Priest Dam was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Yue Huang was wrong. The hatred between the West and the North has lasted for too long. This time, he captured a female from the North. On the day he entered the city, many orcs were celebrating. I thought this matter wouldn't escalate too much, but from that day on, something was wrong..."
"It seems that you fully understand 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 dislike 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 love her 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 to you, even 'scary'. After what happened yesterday, I am even 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. Looking at 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 believe your relatives are worried about you too. Females cannot be traded. Today, in addition to apologizing to you, I also want to ask you to rest assured that neither you nor those females in the North will fall into the hands of the Hell Beast!"
Dam's words touched Ye Luoxing even more. This was a completely different feeling from when Yue Huang and the others, who had imprisoned her, had promised her. This old man was very gentle...
"High Priest Dam, I understand what you mean, but..." Ye Luoxing hesitated and did not say the rest of the words.
She saw that Damu should have finished speaking, and she was thinking of 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 those females from the North. Don't worry, once the trouble in the West is resolved, I will arrange for you to leave. I will send them back to the North safely. However, there are still herds of Yan beasts in the West, so you should stay in the city for the time being to avoid any danger!"
"You?!" Ye Luoxing really widened her eyes this time. This was exactly what she had been wanting to say but she didn't expect the high priest to offer to send them away. She thought she was just here to apologize, but she didn't expect her apology to be "sincere".
"Have you made up your mind? Will 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, "Alright, excellent female cub, go back and have a good rest. I hope what happened yesterday didn't affect you!"
Dam 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.
