095: Baekrye's Conspiracy
This answer made Huai Yan's breath catch in his throat, and he froze completely.
But there aren't that many coincidences in the world.
The person who can squeeze 073 out of the dimensional world several times at the same time.
It's impossible to run into two at once.
“But you don’t need to worry.” 073 sighed and comforted her, “Even if they are the same person, Father God should not have Fu Tingyu’s memory now.”
Otherwise, the man would have revealed it from the very first meeting.
Upon hearing this, the boy obediently nodded.
Knowing all this is actually not very useful.
In this dimensional world, it's impossible to have a face-to-face, open and honest conversation with a man.
"Let's take it one step at a time," 073 said. "Tomorrow, when we get back to church, we'll have to prepare for the initiation ceremony."
There's no extra time to focus on this.
When Zuoyou 073 disappeared, Huaiyan was not in any danger, especially since she still had the built-in system.
When Huai Yan returned to the continent of Sai'er, not much time had passed around her.
Perhaps the Father God used some unknown skill.
In short, Huaiyan was distracted for a moment and then saw the spirit beast foaming at the mouth again.
After some commotion, the soldiers bound the spirit beast tightly and headed west towards the secret forest.
Huai Yan, along with Xiu Yi and his guards, rested on the spot.
Once everything was settled, Huaiyan turned around and met another gaze.
Bai Li suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
It was as if he wasn't the fastest runner when the spirit beasts arrived.
"Your Excellency, Holy Son." Bai Li stepped forward anxiously, looking Huai Yan up and down, and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
Wolf Green and Esther were not present at the moment, which is why the young man dared to approach Huai Yan so openly.
"Come on."
Xia Ya suddenly appeared out of nowhere, rolled his eyes, and said, "When we encountered the spirit beast earlier, I wonder who was the fastest runner."
When Char arrived just in time, he saw Hakurei running haphazardly into the depths of the jungle.
Bai Li was startled, her face immediately turning red with embarrassment. She looked at Huai Yan and said, "I was... I was so scared at the time. I originally wanted to pull you along with me..."
Huai Yan smiled, subtly avoiding the young man's touch, and said gently, "It's alright, I'm just glad you're okay."
Bai Li nodded timidly, his eyes blurry with tears, and followed Huai Yan beside her.
idiot.
Bai Li couldn't help but curse inwardly, "The Holy Son Messiah is still as saintly as he was in his previous life."
A few words of coaxing and it's over. No wonder he was so easily overthrown in his past life.
The young man smiled with a hint of sarcasm, but his expression remained impassive.
When Huai Yan looked up, he happened to see Xia Ya's disapproving gaze directed at him.
Char was probably telling him that Hakurei was not to be trusted.
But Huaiyan knows this best.
The boy returned Xia's smile with a faint one, indicating that the other should not worry.
That night, everyone gathered together to rest.
With the spirit beast already taken away, Bai Li finally felt relieved.
The young man sat by the fire, quietly watching the carriage in front of him, lost in thought.
Apart from Huaiyan, who was resting in the carriage, everyone else was by the fire, each lost in their own thoughts.
Huaiyan was initially reluctant to get on the carriage, but after being persuaded by Xiuyi, she reluctantly boarded it, turning back every few steps.
After all, the leaders of the three races are here, one of whom is the succubus Esther.
If we don't take some preventative measures, the boy might be abducted and no one would even know.
"Oh dear~"
Esther stretched, squinted, and mumbled, "I'm hungry—"
The succubus hadn't absorbed any vital energy all day and was now so hungry that her stomach was practically touching her back.
While she could stay by the boy's side, Esther was not very willing to go out and hunt.
"Hmph." Xia Ya scoffed upon hearing this. "If you're hungry, go find prey. What are you doing lounging here?"
"Mind your own business!" Esther flapped her wings and spat at the vampire. "Go ahead and suck your dog's blood!"
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Lang Qing pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.
Esther is full of energy, fighting one person after another, as if she will never get tired.
It wasn't until midnight that the surroundings finally became completely quiet.
Huaiyan sat in the carriage, listening to the noise outside, and felt drowsy.
Succubi and vampires, they truly are creatures that come out at night.
At this point, you should be a hundred times more energetic than Lang Qing.
"Don't sleep," 073 reminded him. "We haven't even started the White Gift operation yet."
"ah……"
The boy sat up groggily, rubbing his eyes, and listened to what Esther was saying.
Gradually, when Esther also became drowsy and lost consciousness, and the surroundings returned to complete silence.
Bai Li finally took action.
The young man stood up quietly, turned around, and walked into the darkness.
"As expected," 073 said knowingly. "He can't possibly do nothing."
From the very beginning, the system had foreseen that Bai Li would not sit idly by and wait for his doom.
Young people will definitely leave themselves a way out, in case the Huai inkstone path doesn't work out.
“He’s probably trying to take a shortcut,” 073 said. “You have Esther, Wolf Blue, and Char by your side.”
If Bai Li really wants to ask Huai Yan to do something for him.
Even if the boy agreed, the attitudes of the three were not very clear.
“So…” Huai Yan said expressionlessly, “he turned to other people.”
I don't know if it's Xiuyi or a guard.
Because currently, the only two people accompanying Huaiyan are from the church.
Furthermore, in the original storyline, Hugh Wing strongly recommended Hakurei to become the new Holy Son, which was an important part of the plot.
So there's no need to think too much; you just know who Bai Li will focus his attention on.
Before long, the sound of panting could be heard from the pitch-black jungle.
"Huh—?" 073 was taken aback. "Why doesn't that voice sound like Xiuyi's?"
Xiuyi's voice is very distinctive, usually cool and reserved.
The voice coming from the jungle right now clearly belongs to a young man full of energy.
Huaiyan could imagine just how impulsive the other person's personality was, like a wolf.
"...Wait a minute." 073 narrowed his eyes and asked, "Don't you think this voice sounds a little familiar?"
Of course I think so.
Not only did Huaiyan feel that he knew whose voice it was, but he also knew who that voice belonged to.
This is the voice of Zoe, Xiuyi's apprentice.
Huaiyan didn't have much contact with Zoe.
During this capture of the spirit beast, Xiu Yi specially dispatched Zoe to protect His Highness the Holy Son at all times.
Bai Li must have thoroughly understood Xiu Yi's methods to be able to guess so accurately.
Even if Zoe isn't in the group, she must be somewhere nearby.
It will be easier to climb into the church with Zoe's help.
"Now that I think about it..."
073 suddenly realized, "When Bai Li ran away this afternoon, could it be that he ran into Zoe?"
No wonder Bai Li looked so confident when he came back in the afternoon.
After all, things won't be so simple once Zoe is involved.
"So, should we try to win over Zoe now?" Huaiyan asked, "But...it's too late, isn't it?"
Bai Li had already met Zoe before him.
No amount of rescue efforts now will help.
"Just remind Xiuyi," 073 said, listening to the commotion outside. "Xiuyi may have already noticed."
Zoe was also sent by Hugh Wing, so Hugh Wing would definitely be the first to know if the other side made any moves.
Now that things have come to this, Huaiyan has already come up with a plan.
-
The next day, when Huaiyan stepped out of the carriage, Baili was sleeping soundly by the fire.
The young man slept peacefully, as if nothing had happened.
073 exclaimed in amazement, "No wonder they say Bai Li has so much energy..."
We still have to travel all day; how could Bai Li's body possibly hold up?
"Your Excellency, Holy Son," Xia Ya stood up, looked around, and asked, "Are you taking him to the church?"
It goes without saying who this "he" refers to.
The boy shook his head and denied it, saying, "The church doesn't allow unauthorized personnel to enter."
Bai Li hasn't climbed up to anyone yet, only Zoe.
Zoe wasn't all-powerful enough to allow him unimpeded access to the church.
After resting, Huaiyan got back into the carriage.
When they arrived at the church, Bailey had already left the group.
Without Huaiyan even having to refuse, he left on his own.
However, when the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Huaiyan saw a familiar face.
"Your Excellency, Holy Son."
Zhou Luo smiled and strode towards the carriage, saying, "Why are you only coming back now?"
The boy returned the smile, though a vague unease lingered in his heart.
Now the four leaders have all gathered together.
One more Lucy is needed to complete the reunion of the five people the boy had once fished for.
They're not far from being exposed.
