"Let's go back quickly. The divine energy on the sea is too strong; we shouldn't stay any longer."
Seeing Luo Yu's smile, Qin Yiyan also slightly curled the corners of her lips.
She truly admired this young man—Luo Yu had no parents and left his hometown at a young age, coming to the empire alone and working his way up to his current position.
How similar this is to her past self! She was also born an orphan, raised by the Holy See, and only after awakening to become a "Chosen One" did she gradually rise from a lowly nun to eventually take on the heavy responsibility of the Knights Templar Commander.
She knew all too well the feeling of not being trusted and having to rely on herself to persevere. Having been rained on herself, she naturally wanted to hold an umbrella for others as well. This was both a matter of doctrine and her own heart.
And Luo Yu did not disappoint her, which was the best possible outcome—that's why she specifically sought out Xu Shi before setting sail.
She originally planned to confront the other person on the spot, but after considering some other external factors, she temporarily suppressed the idea and only lightly mocked the other person.
There are too many things involved here, and it's easy for people to make a fuss about it. It's better to wait until we've finished defeating the sea god before calmly sorting things out one by one.
Ultimately, she was still standing up for Luo Yu... However, she didn't deny it. As a knight commander, she naturally had a duty to help her knights when they were in trouble. It just so happened that Xu Shi didn't give her a good impression either. Not only did he have close ties with the royal family and completely disregard the Papacy, but he also gave Qin Yiyan an indescribable sense of malevolence.
Tsk.
"Speaking of which, Luo Yu, are your two younger sisters still with Xu Shi?"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask another question.
"...Yes, they don't want to go back with me."
It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because once it was brought up, a hint of malice appeared in Luo Yu's eyes, and his tone unconsciously turned colder.
Because Xu Shi is truly despicable! Luo Yu knew he wasn't immune to being wronged before, but he always managed to find opportunities to retaliate. However, when facing Xu Shi, he found himself helpless and could only swallow his anger and suffer in silence.
More importantly, since he appeared, the attitudes of those around him have changed quite a bit. The two sisters, Feng and Ling, are just the most obvious examples... I don't know what kind of bewitching potion Xu Shi gave them, but they are willing to stay by his side.
After so many years of getting along, is it really less important than a stranger?
But that's exactly how it is, which is really hard for him to accept.
However, he was unwilling to talk too much with Qin Yiyan. He simply smiled and said, "Sister Qin, you don't need to worry about me. I will handle everything."
Because he also noticed something—Xu Shi was good at playing mind games, but his own combat ability didn't seem strong, and he always relied on others to solve problems.
For example, his guard on Silverpine Island, and the woman he had actually fought with...
Ha, just a guy who lives off women.
He sneered inwardly.
"...It would be best if you could handle it yourself."
Qin Yiyan couldn't read minds and couldn't discern his inner thoughts. Upon hearing this, she simply advised, "But be careful with your methods. Those barbarians are now closely connected with the royal family. We can't act rashly based on that alone, understand?"
Although she was reluctant to admit it, she knew that although Xu Shi gave her a bad impression, he was also genuinely capable; otherwise, the royal family wouldn't be so fixated on him.
The weapons he brought also perfectly illustrate this point—the royal family also encountered a fish attack, but with the help of those new weapons, they responded just as well, even more skillfully, and suffered fewer casualties…
Her intuition told her that this was no easy opponent.
Even the people of the Vatican didn't want to consider him an opponent before. Many people's attitudes were relatively ambiguous, preferring to befriend him rather than make enemies. As for Luo Yu's matter, it was not within their consideration. They couldn't just cut ties completely over such a trivial matter. Otherwise, the royal family would take all the benefits, which would not be acceptable.
Even Her Highness the Holy Maiden and His Holiness the Pope seem to share the same thought.
This actually put Qin Yiyan in a dilemma. From a rational point of view, she knew that this was absolutely right, but from a personal point of view, she did not want the Holy See to just ignore Luo Yu.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone out of her way to confront Xu Shi knowing this... Perhaps she genuinely didn't want Xu Shi to get too close to them?
In short, she's really bad at dealing with these complicated situations; just thinking about them gives her a headache.
well……
It was at this time that...
The sea, which had gradually returned to calm, began to boil again!
"What's going on?!"
Qin Yiyan instantly became alert, but the situation changed far faster than she had imagined.
In an instant, a large number of fish leaped out of the water and launched another fierce attack on them!
This attack was even more ferocious. The fish seemed to be frightened and recklessly pounced on the members of the Holy See. What was even more dangerous was that this wave of fish was of higher quality. They were no longer small fish that would break at the slightest touch, but rather a larger number of fish!
Take this little tiger shark in front of me, for example. After a brief assessment, I found that it actually possesses the strength of a Rock-Solid (B-level) shark.
What's going on?!
"careful!"
Without a second thought, Qin Yiyan drew his heavy sword again and began slashing left and right among the fish.
Before long, she discovered that it all seemed to be Xu Shi's doing. The subtle and strange fluctuations on the sea surface seemed to originate from his ships. Those strange warheads drifting with the current must also be their doing... It seemed that this was why the fish were in such an unstable state.
