Chapter 711 The Destined Person
"You..." Nie Yao stared blankly at the man in front of her with wide eyes, and asked doubtfully, "Are you the Senmut priest?"
"Shh..." The man smiled at her, stretched out his finger to his mouth and made a "shh" gesture, and slowly said: "I finally waited for you..."
"Wait for me?" Nie Yao looked at him with some confusion, then turned her head and asked, "What are you waiting for me to do?"
The man didn't explain. He just slowly picked up the papyrus painting he had just completed and whispered, "This painting was made by me personally. It's very important. Now I'm handing it over to you..."
"Why should you give it to me?" Nie Yao frowned and asked in confusion.
"Because you are the destined one..." The man sighed softly, looking at her with a mysterious yet gentle smile: "Only you can protect them..."
Without waiting for Nie Yao to answer, he raised his head to glance at the moonlight filtering through the ceiling and whispered, "It's getting late. Take this painting..."
Nie Yao could only spread her hands and took the papyrus painting he handed her. She asked hesitantly, "But I don't understand why you chose me. You are the priestess of the Queen. Your power is supreme besides the Queen. What exactly do you want me to protect?"
"Follow the clues above and you'll naturally understand..." The man smiled slightly and sighed softly, "As for me, I have more important people to protect..."
"Is it your Queen?" Nie Yao couldn't help but ask another question.
The man didn't answer, but suddenly there was a noisy sound of footsteps not far away. His expression changed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "What is coming will eventually come—"
"What did you say?" Nie Yao didn't hear clearly and couldn't help but ask again.
"You should go--" The man stretched out his hand and slowly pushed her body.
"Wait, I haven't finished asking..." Nie Yao wanted to ask a few more questions, but she only felt an invisible force pushing her away from the solemn hall.
The moment he left the hall, Nie Yao seemed to be watching a group of soldiers holding spears and shields rushing into the hall.
Nie Yao was startled. Before she could even scream, she suddenly woke up and heard a loud roar in her ears.
"Yaoyao?" Li Jinxing had just fastened her seat belt when he saw her suddenly open her eyes. He quickly asked softly, "Are you awake?"
However, Nie Yao did not answer, but just looked at Li Jinxing with a dull look, and it took her a while to recover from the strange dream just now.
"Yaoyao?" Li Jinxing saw that she looked dazed, so he waved his hand in front of her. Seeing that she still didn't answer, he immediately reached out and touched her forehead, and sure enough, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared.
"Are you having a nightmare again?" Li Jinxing sighed softly, took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and asked the flight attendant to pour a glass of warm water and hand it to Nie Yao's mouth.
"Drink some water and calm down... Be good and open your mouth——"
Nie Yao mechanically opened her mouth and was fed a mouthful of warm water by Li Jinxing. Only then did she slowly come back to her senses. Meeting Li Jinxing's concerned gaze, she hesitantly asked, "Where am I?"
"Little fool, of course we're still on the plane!" Li Jinxing chuckled, wiped the corners of her lips with a tissue, and asked patiently: "Did you have a nightmare again just now? Drink another sip of water..."
