“It’s nothing.” Before Alger’s questioning voice had even finished, Miller spoke up first to stop him.
His voice was weak and barely concealed, and his whole body was still limp and leaning against Alger, with no strength at all.
Even so, the first thing he did when he regained consciousness was to decisively stop Alger from asking questions.
No one knew better than him what had happened to him just now, especially since the Father God had made it clear before leaving that he did not want to attract any other attention.
Although the figures before him were still so blurry that he couldn't tell who was who, this didn't stop Miller, who had regained some strength, from standing up straight and his face returned to its usual serene appearance.
"I'm fine, I just tripped and fell." As he said this, he dusted off his robe as if to remove the dust that he had "accidentally" gotten on it.
Everyone fell silent as they watched his actions.
Given his disheveled appearance, no one believed that he had simply "accidentally" tripped and fallen!
Furthermore, even though Assistant Instructor Alger had just cast a cleaning spell on him, he was still cleaning with his hands...
In short, this excuse was full of holes! Nobody believed he had actually fallen!
Even though everyone knew that what Bishop Miller said wasn't true, no one present had the courage to press him further.
For a moment, no one responded to his words, or rather, no one knew how to respond.
No one dared to look at each other, and the atmosphere was about to become awkward. Just then, Alger took the initiative to break the deadlock.
Even though he knew in his heart that Miller was making things up, he appeared completely convinced and believed him without a doubt.
"So that's how it is! Is the gentleman injured?" His tone was concerned, showing no sign of doubt whatsoever.
No wonder they were able to gain a foothold by the bishop's side!
Unaware of what the others were thinking, Miller nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Alger's question. "It's getting late, let's go back and rest!"
That's what they said—
Sisi couldn't help but look up at the sky; the enormous sun hung high in the air.
If I remember correctly, at this time yesterday, they were still searching for the demonic energy that had vanished without a trace, and they didn't say it was getting late!
But they only dared to mutter a few complaints in their hearts. Didn't they see that after Miller finished speaking, none of the people beside him disobeyed and followed him back?
but······
Don't be fooled by their current docile demeanor and seemingly uninterested in what just happened; their hearts are actually racing with excitement, desperately wanting to know what exactly happened!
However, it was obvious without even trying that Bishop Miller would never tell them.
Fortunately, two people involved know about this. Since one of them won't speak out, then the remaining one...
Almost everyone was thinking to themselves at that moment: It's good to go back! If we go back, we can "properly" ask Xu Ling a question!
They really did a good job, especially Sissi and April. It was an easy thing for them to get what they wanted because they were so close to the source!
Unfortunately, they all forgot the most important premise—after returning, Miller would no longer look for Xu Ling.
However, this is impossible!
Almost as soon as they stepped into the church grounds, Miller said, "I have something to tell Xu Ling," and then casually left with Xu Ling, leaving Qianqian and the others dumbfounded.
It seems they won't have a chance to find out.
That's for sure!
Although Miller's purpose in taking Xu Ling away was not to tell her not to tell anyone about the Father God's descent, it didn't stop him from mentioning it at the end of their conversation.
Let's get back to the present.
Since he was only staying here temporarily, Miller did not have his own office.
Since the content of their conversation could not be overheard by others, Miller took Xu Ling back to his room.
The moment the door closed, his long, white hair suddenly turned golden again.
Having already experienced this once, Xu Ling knew from the change that the God of Light who had run away had returned.
Perfect timing! We were only halfway through what we were talking about; He hadn't yet told her when he would return Ruth to her!
Fearing that He would leave without a word again, Xu Ling rushed forward and grabbed Miller's wrists tightly with both hands. "Don't run! I won't let go until you tell me when you're going to give Ruth back to me!"
She spoke with a deep, resonant voice, clearly indicating that she had made up her mind.
However, Miller, who had his back to her, did not speak; his body was completely stiffened by the close contact!
Xu Ling didn't know that, let alone Miller himself, even the God of Light who was currently occupying the body had never been so close to anyone in thousands of years!
Even in the age of gods, no other deity dared to touch the God of Light like this!
So, the first reaction of the God of Light was to shake him off, but before his body could act, his brain firmly stopped him.
He did not forget his original intention—to seek Xu Ling's help.
Therefore, even though his whole body was screaming "get rid of me quickly," he still managed to restrain his impulse as much as possible.
His body stiffening was already the most restrained reaction he could muster.
"Don't worry," he managed to squeeze out two words through gritted teeth to reassure Xu Ling as he faced the wooden door, "I came back to explain things clearly. So, can you let go of my hand first?"
As his voice calmed down, the God of Light slowly turned around.
If it weren't for the obvious pause at the beginning when he said "Don't worry," no one would have noticed the slight fluctuation in his emotions.
To be honest, Xu Ling would completely ignore any major ups and downs now. After all, her attention wasn't focused on such trivial details!
Despite hearing the promise from the God of Light, Xu Ling held onto his hands tightly and did not let go as instructed.
Her actions demonstrated that she did not trust the God of Light.
Of course, her eyes made no attempt to hide her meaning.
God of Light:······
