After a few more pleasantries, the group dispersed.
The Elf King didn't seem to be very curious about Lucius and Sheng Wu, but he took extra care of them for the sake of God.
Lumina took Shengwu and Lucius directly, and headed to the new palace with a guard leading the way with quick steps.
The three of them remained silent along the way.
Until they entered Lumina's new palace. As soon as they entered, they could see the luxury and exquisiteness of the place with the naked eye. Everywhere was carefully designed and decorated. Lumina didn't have to prepare anything and could move in directly.
The Elf King also arranged for the elven maid to send her some fine clothes and supplies.
Obviously, they didn't want her to be too shabby and lose face for the Elf Kingdom.
Lumina directly pulled the two of them back to the inner hall.
"Bang."
Close the door.
"Lillian, why did you say that Lumina saved us?"
Lucius was the first to lose control of his curiosity and turned to look at Sheng Wu.
Sheng Wu raised her eyes calmly, "Don't you think that Lumina will be more respected this way?"
Hearing this, Lucius suddenly had an idea and realized something. He glanced at Sheng Wu and then turned to look at Lumina.
"What deal did you...make?"
Otherwise, he had already felt that Lillian was not someone who would meddle in other people's affairs and was rather heartless. She didn't even bother to take care of Lumina when she rescued her before, let alone helping her change her situation now.
His clear and bright light brown pupils were half closed, with a hint of guessed certainty in his eyes. Although he was kind and loving, he was also alert and wise, and was not a fool who could be deceived by everything.
"trade......"
Lumina, who knew him best, was not worried at all that he might discover anything. She just glanced at him lazily with her green eyes, which were rather cold and indifferent with a hint of complexity.
"Yes, Lillian helped me gain status, and I provided her with power. What's wrong with this deal?"
She had no qualms about stating their transaction in the most straightforward terms.
Sheng Wu didn't say anything. She walked to the table in the palace and sat down in a familiar manner. She picked up a fresh fruit and started eating it, looking at the two of them boredly.
Lucius frowned upon hearing her answer. He looked at Sheng Wu, who was sitting peacefully, and said in a slightly serious tone, "So you two had discussed this from the beginning, and you didn't just want to come and see the outside world."
The implication is that he was the only one kept in the dark.
Sheng Wu sat on a rattan chair, slowly raised her eyes, and refuted with confidence, "That's your own imagination. Who says I can't pursue strength while wanting to see the world? Besides, didn't I tell you? It was obviously you who didn't ask me. If you asked us, of course we would tell you, just like now. Look, are we deceiving you at this time?"
"yes."
Lumina, who was standing next to him, listened to Sheng Wu's words with her green eyes half closed. A hint of darkness flashed across her originally clean and clear eyes. She curled her lips and walked forward, getting close to Sheng Wu's back, raising her eyes and agreeing innocently.
"Sister Lillian saw that I was suffering from a pitiful life and was being bullied in the palace. I begged her to help me, and she finally relented and agreed. To show her gratitude, I offered to find a way to increase her strength. Is there anything wrong with that? Lucius, it's fine if you don't want to become stronger yourself, but you can't selfishly prevent others from becoming better."
Of course, if we ignore the two people's intrigues and plots against Lucius, the situation is indeed as they described.
"this......"
Lucius was stunned by the two people's words that echoed each other, as if they really had not hidden anything from him, but he had not asked first. When he asked them just now, they had told him directly.
Moreover, he also knew that Lillian did not like the fact that her strength was naturally arranged by God to be lower than his own, so it was normal for her to pursue strength. As for Lumina, everything that happened since arriving in the Elf Kingdom today showed that her situation was indeed not good.
Lucius then relaxed his brows and sincerely apologized to the two of them...?!
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now. I apologize to you." It was indeed that he did not consider them carefully.
Lucius looked at Lillian, his light brown eyes clear and lucid. "I know you seek power, so I won't stop you. In fact, I think part of the reason is that my presence is why your natural strength is lower than mine. This is indirectly my fault. Lillian, I will help you. Help you gain a power greater than mine."
After Lillian arrived in the Garden of Eden, he was puzzled by the fact that some of the heavy work he could do easily was difficult for her. But when she told him that it was God who had arranged and warned her from the beginning that her strength must be lower than his, he felt confused and guilty.
It was obviously not his wish, but he still made Lillian suffer some things because of him.
So even if Lillian wanted to leave the Garden of Eden and go out to have a look, he had a strong desire not to leave but followed her anyway, because he was afraid that she would not be strong enough to protect herself.
Now Lillian has her own plans and choices, and as long as she doesn't hurt others or become bad, he will help her.
Upon hearing this, the seated Saint Wu's eyebrows twitched slightly. She stared at Lucius with misty eyes and asked directly.
"But God doesn't allow women to be stronger than men. Aren't you disobeying Him by doing this?"
Lucius is the most devout believer of God. From the moment he was created, he represented the most beautiful incarnation in the world.
Look, what Lumina and she said just now both touched upon Lucius's kindness and consideration for others. They both knew very well that Lucius was pure and kind in nature. If it were someone else, they would probably just say, "It's none of my business."
“…”
Hearing this, Lucius's expression paused, his light brown pupils drooped slightly and he hesitated for a few seconds, then finally raised his head and looked at her firmly.
“God does not make mistakes, but He has the mercy to forgive believers.”
In his heart, nothing God did was wrong, and Lillian was also not wrong. She just preferred powerful strength. The fault was his. He blamed the mistake on himself because he was the one who wanted to help Sheng Wu.
But he did not disobey God, he still believed in God.
He is still so loyal...
Lumina, who understood what he meant, narrowed her eyes slightly and her face was slightly tense. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but there was a hint of sarcasm and mockery in the depths of her emerald pupils.
She lowered her head indifferently and fiddled with her fingertips.
Sheng Wu also knew what he meant, so she just curled her lips and smiled lightly, looking at him gently.
"Lucius, thank you."
She said thank you, but there was cold sarcasm in Sheng Wu's light-colored eyes. What she despised most was people like Lucius who were overflowing with love and kindness. They were so innocent that they were stupid, and they had weaknesses everywhere.
Afterwards, Lucius was arranged by Lumina to live in a side hall, while Shengwu and she lived in the main hall.
