And so, without anyone interrupting, Xu Ling talked for a long time.
When people lack confidence, they tend to say a lot of unnecessary things to prove the truthfulness of their words.
When Xu Ling looked up at the God of Light, her throat was dry from talking, she was still a little uneasy: Would He realize that she was lying?
Just then, the God of Light spoke: "That—"
Xu Ling's heart jumped involuntarily, but fortunately, things didn't turn out as she had expected.
The God of Light parted his lips slightly and asked, "So, are you going to find this elf?"
Great, nothing found!
Xu Ling's expression immediately relaxed. Suppressing the upward curve of her lips, she asked somewhat shyly, "Is it okay?"
“It is possible, but…” The God of Light paused here, and seeing that Xu Ling visibly tensed up at these two words, He immediately continued, “Do you know where the other party is right now?”
How could she not know?!
But obviously she couldn't tell the truth, since she had just said that she had only walked with the other person for a short distance!
“Well, I can—” Xu Ling’s eyes darted around as she thought of what to say, “Hmm, yes, I can contact the other party!”
This is even less believable!
However, the God of Light, who knew everything, still showed no sign of anything amiss. "Alright, you can try to contact him first. Once you've made contact, we can go find your friend."
"Okay, okay!" Xu Ling nodded happily. However, she paused after nodding, and a strange look appeared on her face.
"What's wrong?" the God of Light asked.
“You’re acting strange,” Xu Ling said, her gaze scrutinizing the God of Light. “Why are you being so easy to talk to?”
Only now did she realize that the God of Light had a uniquely positive attitude towards this matter!
Putting everything else aside, her desire to find a pure-blooded elf was purely to get rid of a burden. What exactly does He want to achieve with such enthusiasm?
Could it really be for Miller?
Xu Ling scoffed at this answer; to be honest, she really didn't believe it!
How is this possible?!
But that's the truth, as the God of Light blurted out: "It's all for Miller."
Xu Ling: "...Are you serious?"
The God of Light remained steadfast in his stance, for this was not a lie; He was genuinely concerned for Miller's sake.
Miller's pain at that moment—
The God of Light placed his hand on his heart, feeling a deep empathy for the lingering discomfort.
After confirming again and again that the God of Light was truly acting for Miller, Xu Ling had no choice but to believe it, no matter how much she felt it was fake.
"Alright, I'll contact them first, and once I know where they are..."
The God of Light immediately replied, "Just tell Miller, and the two of you can discuss the next steps."
This works too!
Xu Ling nodded in agreement.
Once the matter was settled, the God of Light did not linger on Miller's body for long. He simply closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Miller himself was back.
Very good, this time the God of Light didn't make Miller faint or cause a huge commotion.
Having finished discussing things with the God of Light, Xu Ling felt she had nothing more to say to Miller. Seeing that he had woken up and was standing steadily, she greeted him and left.
Xu Ling left quickly. She had no choice but to admit that she had boasted in front of the God of Light. She had said "contact the other party" without even thinking about it!
When she came to her senses, she realized that it seemed... she couldn't contact Emerald at all!
Of course, she can't contact anyone, but there are reliable people available. Therefore, she has to find someone reliable now and think of a solution!
——
When Xu Ling returned to her room, no one else had come back yet, and she didn't know what they had gone to do.
Seeing that no one was around, she looked out the window and called out, "Fei'er!"
Because of Fei'er's enormous size, even if he were to shrink himself as much as possible so that the villagers could see him, it would still cause panic. Therefore, unless necessary, he rarely left the church grounds and basically stayed near Xu Ling and the others' room, waiting for them to return.
Today was no exception; Fei'er was guarding outside. Therefore, upon hearing Xu Ling's shout, the distant bushes stirred without any wind, and the next second, a huge wolf's head appeared.
Fei'er's wolf ears twitched, and after realizing that Xu Ling was alone, she spoke in human language: "My lord, is there anything I can help you with?"
As he asked the question, he stood up and walked towards Xu Ling.
"Where did the reliable ones go?"
Fei'er shook his head. "The reliable adults haven't come back." So, he didn't know where they had gone.
Well, it seems we can only wait for them to come back.
With nothing else to do, Xu Ling rested her chin on her hand and, while waiting for Kaopu to return, casually asked Fei'er, "Fei'er, do you have a way to contact Thanos?"
this······
Fei'er stated that the Moonlight Silver Wolves do have a unique way of communicating, but—
"It's too far away, I can't contact Thanos."
Xu Ling wasn't discouraged by the answer she received; instead, she couldn't help but look forward to Kaopu's return even more.
Fortunately, the reliable one hadn't been out playing around for long. After a while, Xu Ling heard A Bao's "quack quack" and the sound of its wings flapping.
The first thing that caught her eye was a jet-black crow. Seemingly surprised that she was there at this time, Abao's small, black bean-like eyes lit up, and it landed on Xu Ling's shoulder with a "caw caw".
"quack--"
It sounded rather unpleasant, and even now Xu Ling still couldn't understand what A Bao meant by calling out "powerful," so she could only smile and pat its head, "Is it reliable?"
Before she could finish speaking, a golden kitten jumped out from Fei'er's head, sat on it, and asked with a hint of surprise, "You were looking for me?"
It's strange that Xu Ling had to look for it so rarely!
"Didn't I come looking for you yesterday!" Even though it was covered by thick fur, Xu Ling could still read the meaning on its face and couldn't help but feel annoyed.
But remembering that important business was at hand, he just rolled his eyes at it and replied seriously, "I need to talk to you."
Whenever Xu Ling said this, Kaopu immediately understood that she was about to say something that couldn't be told to others.
So, Kaopu leaped off Fei'er's head, vaulted onto the balcony, and landed on Xu Ling's shoulder. Its landing was perfectly timed, squeezing out A Bao and taking his place.
Abao flapped its wings again, about to land on Xu Ling's head, when Kaopu stopped it, "You go play with Fei'er first, Xu Ling and I have something to do, meow~"
Since it said so, Abao immediately turned around and landed on Fei'er's head.
