Perhaps the method really worked, or something else, but in any case, no one bothered Xu Ling after that.
Pretending to be asleep, Xu Ling actually fell asleep without realizing it.
That night, she had a rare dream.
That was in her previous life when she was banished to the Western world of gods.
After being helpless once again in the face of people praying in the church, she sat dejectedly on the church tower, completely bewildered.
Just then, a gentle breeze came and softly brushed her cheek, seemingly carrying with it a broken whisper.
—Would you...be...willing...to...help me?
Xu Ling forgot how she answered back then, only seeing her lips move in her dream, and she didn't know what she said.
Before she could decipher the mystery, the scene in her dream changed drastically.
The gentle breeze was gone, and what came into view were vast expanses of dry, cracked land—she had suddenly returned to a barren land!
I forgot what time it was, but I saw myself and Kaopu staring anxiously at something.
As they got closer, it turned out he was staring at the divination ball!
Memories flooded back, and everything in the dream began to overlap with hers. She saw the dark ink spreading within the divination ball, saw the shift in perspective, saw Ruth's figure appear, saw the silver hair...
etc!
Xu Ling's gaze froze instantly, lingering on the silky white hair for a long time, a sense of familiarity inexplicably welling up within her.
This is······
A name lingered on her lips, but before she could utter it, a familiar and exquisite face rushed into her field of vision.
really!
"It's Miller!"
The moment the name was uttered, Xu Ling suddenly opened her eyes and sprang to her feet.
However, having just woken from a dream, her gaze was unfocused, staring aimlessly ahead, muttering unconsciously, "It's Miller..."
"Wake up!" The next second, a cat's paw slapped her across the face, waking her up completely.
Xu Ling blinked twice, snapping out of her daze, and then saw the reliable person who almost filled her field of vision. "Reliable person... what are you doing!"
Before the words were even finished, her hands had already swiftly pulled away the eyesore.
Kaopu didn't resist, but frowned and asked, "Why are you calling that bishop of the Church of Light by his name? That's strange!"
Reminded by it, Xu Ling immediately remembered everything from her dream.
"That's right," her eyes instantly brimming with barely concealed excitement, "I know exactly where Ruth is!"
Reliable: ? ? ? ?
She was almost frantic yesterday because she had no clue whatsoever, and then she found out overnight?
That's a lie!
The reliable one expressed disbelief and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, "Lingling, you're getting better and better at lying!"
"Really, really!" Xu Ling was surprised that it didn't believe her, so she eagerly told it everything from her dream.
Upon hearing this, Kaopu's eyebrows twitched, and he was about to say something when Xu Ling immediately said seriously, "Also, don't say I'm dreaming and it's unbelievable! You know, I'm a god, a god! Even if my divine position is small, I still have a divine position. My dreams aren't just random; they have meaning!"
That makes some sense!
The disbelief on Kaopu's face immediately subsided. Although its energy conversion system was different from Xu Ling's and it didn't know much about it, it had vaguely heard this statement before.
Therefore, the reliable one decided to trust Xu Ling for the time being. "Since Ruth is in Miller's..." It only mouthed the word "Miller" without actually saying it. "In his hand, then why haven't we been able to sense Ruth's presence on him for so long?"
Yes! Why is that?
Xu Ling was taken aback by the question. She snapped out of her reverie at discovering Ruth's location and began to ponder the problem.
If she didn't notice it at first, it could be explained that they hadn't spent much time together at the academy, and the scent Ruth left on Miller was too faint, causing her to overlook it.
Now that they've all come out together for training and spent a whole day together, even the least perceptive person should have noticed by now, right?
"Besides, didn't I discover Ruth's presence not far away yesterday?" Reliable added, not forgetting its efforts yesterday.
"So, Miller did this too? What was his reason for doing it? Why did he lie to me?"
One question after another was thrown at her. Before she could figure out the first one, the second and the third came crashing down on her. Xu Ling's scalp tingled instantly, and her thoughts came to a standstill.
"This...this..." She stammered for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a clear answer.
"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you anymore!" The reliable assistant came to the rescue just in time, even though it was the one who raised these problems. "There's no need to rush. Now that we've found our target, everything else will be much easier!"
"Let's go!" It jumped off the bed. "It's getting late. If you don't get up soon, Lily and the others will be coming to find you!"
It was at this moment that Xu Ling realized that she and Kaopu were the only ones in this huge room.
No wonder when she said those things earlier, Kaopu didn't stop her much or tell her to keep her voice down!
In fact, when Kaopu urged Xu Ling, he exaggerated quite a bit. When she brought Kaopu to the place where they ate yesterday, they had only eaten half of the meal. It wasn't like what Kaopu had said, where April and the others were anxiously coming to find them!
After breakfast, just like yesterday, Xu Ling and the others were taken to the place where they had worked the day before. Xu Ling was still there alone with a hoe, while the others went to another place to search for the elusive demonic energy.
However... there's a slight difference this time, there's no reliable person accompanying Xu Ling.
Using what could be described as a high-sounding excuse, Alger managed to send these reliable little animals away.
Of course, it wasn't that the reliable creature didn't realize that Alger's excuse was a bit perfunctory; it just wanted to see what Miller and the others were up to, so it gave Xu Ling a wink and left obediently without saying a word.
Once they were out of sight, without Miller saying a word, Alger immediately made an excuse to leave: "I'm going to check on Pedro and the others."
Soon, all that was left was Xu Ling, who was pretending to hoe the ground, and Miller, who seemed calm but was actually struggling with how to trigger Xu Ling's farming ability.
An awkward standoff ensued, with both people hesitant to speak first, fearing that their intentions would be exposed as soon as they opened their mouths.
However, seeing that the hardened soil beneath his feet had crumbled to the ground, he knew that if he continued to waste time, the big guys who had left would be coming back!
Xu Ling took a deep breath and decided to take the initiative!
She wasn't the only one who thought this way; at the same time, Miller also decided to take the initiative.
The obstacles ahead have been cleared away by the Father God, so he naturally cannot wait passively for the subsequent progress to come!
