Temple Academy, Meditation Hall.
There was no one else in the empty hall except for a girl in a simple black robe who was cleaning. She first swept the floor, then scrubbed the walls, chairs, and statues.
The workload is not heavy and can be evenly distributed to each student, so it only needs to be done about twice a year.
And today it is Luo Xier who is doing it because her student number is higher.
Okay, that should be about it.
After cleaning, Luo Xier looked at the neat and clean interior of the church and felt much more relaxed. She put down her tools, washed her hands and face, and then sat on the benches in the church to rest.
It was around 2-3 pm at this time, and the sunlight shone obliquely into the room through the colored glass windows. Half of the angel carved from white marble was bathed in light, while the other half appeared relatively cool.
Luo Xier leaned back in a wooden chair, her silver hair falling like silk on her shoulders and slender waist. She felt warm under the sun.
Observing the two transparent extraordinary cores, one red and one white, in his consciousness, Loran Hill also began to sort out the current progress.
Since enrolling, she recently took another dose of the [Glow Soul-Condensing Potion] she had concocted, and her training progress had greatly improved. She was now in the middle stages of Sequence 4 in the Angel Sequence, and close to Sequence 5 in the Demon Sequence. As for the Nature Sequence, she hadn't practiced much recently, so there hadn't been much change.
If only time could be split into two halves, the girl lamented slightly.
Ugh...
The church door was pushed open, and anxious footsteps sounded in the empty hall, then walked towards the front.
"Hello, are you a nun? Can you guide me?"
A young man in a gray robe looked around and saw Loran Hill, the only one in the church. He thought she was a nun here, so he asked.
I have to say that Luo Xier's clothes are indeed very similar to those of a nun. The black, slightly tight robe, the white collar, and the face, if you say she is an angel, I guess many people would believe it.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" The girl with silver hair and a black dress stood up and asked the anxious young man. Although she was not a nun, she could still help with some simple questions.
"Hello."
It was unclear from the back before, but now that he had walked in and saw Luo Xier with such a young face, the young man hesitated again. After a while, she spoke.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I've been feeling anxious and hesitant lately. Although I've consulted classmates and teachers about the truth and the reality, and I understand it, I still want to talk to someone and get some guidance. I heard that the nuns and priests in the temple are quite skilled in this area."
"So that's how it is." Luo Xier also vaguely guessed the reason why the young man was hesitant. After all, she was younger than him, so how could she enlighten him?
"The nun or priest on duty will be here in a while and is resting now. Why don't you wait a moment?" Luo Xier looked at the wall clock and replied.
The young man looked at the beautiful back of the person in front of him bathed in the sun, and suddenly felt better, and his previous hesitation was suddenly put aside.
"How about I just tell you straight up? It's not a particularly profound question, but I've been really tortured lately."
He was a fifth-year student at Tower Academy and would graduate this year, but his grades were only average among the graduating class. Now, some organizations and institutions were recruiting from the school. He was beginning to wonder where to go. One option was the Frost Rose's Clock Tower City, another was the alchemy workshop in his hometown, and finally, he could join an archaeological expedition to explore the ruins.
Among them, the various resources and academic exchange atmosphere in the Clock Tower City were the best, while his hometown was the most free and comfortable. With his level of Sequence 6, he could directly set up his own workshop after arriving in his hometown, with the funds coming from the sponsorship of wealthy merchants in the city, without him having to spend a penny.
But he is also very interested in some hidden and novel knowledge. If he joins the archaeological team, he can explore more interesting things, but such a life will be more dangerous and unstable.
It’s probably about how to choose in the face of the future.
Luo Xier looked at the hesitant young man, feeling that he was very much like the college student in her previous life, and began to think about it with great interest.
In fact, no matter which one he chooses, he will regret it.
Returning home, I'd regret never having ventured out and experienced life, and envy my classmates who'd gone to the Clock Tower City and joined the expedition team. After arriving in the Clock Tower City, I'd gradually tire of the lonely and busy life and yearn for the freedom of adventure and the comforts of home. After joining the expedition team, the initial novelty wore off, but I'd fall back on the beauty of home and the bustling city.
People are like this. Whatever they cannot get in the end is the most desirable. They will add all kinds of beautiful filters to it and miss it in their hearts all the time.
"Then let's try them all."
The girl sitting under the stained-glass window said this as a silver seed sprouted in her palm and then continued to spread into the air.
“Everything in life is like chocolates in a box. If you don’t open it and try it, you won’t know how they taste.”
Luo Xier looked at the branches made up of silver light spots extending and blooming in the air, thinking slowly in her heart.
"You can go to the Clock Tower City when you are young, experience the prosperity and beauty of the big city, and enrich your knowledge and strength."
"When you're middle-aged, you have a certain amount of capital and strength, so it's safer to go on adventures, and you can uncover more mysteries and understand more things."
"When you feel tired and lose your desire for certain things, you can go back to where you grew up, open your own alchemy workshop, sit on a park bench, watch the innocent children playing in the fields, and live out the rest of your life in peace."
“Life like this should be beautiful.”
The girl talked about her previous wishes and plans, but unfortunately things did not go as she wished and everything happened suddenly.
Ever since Luo Xier began to tell the story, the young man felt as if he was surrounded by feathers of light. A sense of peace and tranquility slowly flowed over him, and his usual anxiety and irritability also calmed down, slowly falling to the bottom of the lake in his heart and settling.
The silver branches that grew all over the church eventually covered the entire dome, blooming into beautiful flowers one by one, and then blossoming like fireworks. Silver and golden light particles left dreamy traces in the air, and finally gathered again in the girl's palm, condensing into a silver bud with golden leaves wrapped around its edges.
Then the seed gradually flew up and landed in the young man's cupped hands.
"Although I suggest this, it is ultimately your life, and everything should be based on your heart."
"Thank you for your guidance." The young man lowered his head, placed one hand on his chest, and bowed.
"I understand."
