Chapter 696: The Choice
Faced with her mother's pleading gaze, Yu Muhan was at a loss for words. Her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Despite her longing for the Holy Church, Ye Fei's admonition still echoed in her ears.
On one side were her most respected father and mother.
On the other side were her best friends after coming to Lingfeng Academy, the people who completely changed her...
Yu Muhan was torn between two choices.
Seeing the hesitation on her daughter's face, Yu's mother couldn't help but ask, "Muhan, what's on your mind? Tell me about it."
Yu Muhan felt her mind was in a mess. She rubbed her temples wearily and smiled at her mother, "I'm fine, Mother. I'll think about what you said again."
Mother Yu nodded gently: "Well, then Mu Han, think it over carefully again."
"Mother, when the Holy Order came to our house, besides what they said to you and Father, what else did they do?" Yu Muhan asked.
"Ahem... what else did they do?" Mother Yu thought for a moment and then said, "Nothing much, but since then, the Holy Order has been sending gifts to our home."
Yu Muhan was taken aback: "Give me a gift?"
"Yes, sometimes it's every three days, sometimes it's every five days. The gifts are all very valuable, and I've kept them all, thinking I'd give them to you when you come back."
Yu's mother pointed to the cabinet next to the dressing table, indicating that everything was in the cabinet. Yu Muhan opened the cabinet, and inside were some exquisite and luxurious women's ornaments, as well as elixirs, secret manuals, and other items.
It's clear that the Holy Church really wants to bring her into their ranks; such sincerity should be hard to refuse.
Yu Muhan took a look and found that most of the gifts sent by the Holy Order were prepared for her. No wonder her mother persuaded her to become a member of the Holy Order.
However, if she joins the Holy Order, what about Xiao Fei...?
Yu Muhan felt very uncomfortable.
"Madam," a maidservant said as there was a knock on the door of the side room, "the envoys from the Holy Church have come again with gifts!"
Yu's mother coughed and gently took Yu Muhan's hand: "Muhan, you... cough cough, you should go see the envoy of the Holy Order. I am not in a good condition to receive guests right now."
Yu Muhan covered his mother with the blanket and said, "Okay, I'll go right now."
After leaving his mother's room, Yu Muhan headed straight for the main hall of the mansion.
Inside the hall, a man in white robes sat in a chair drinking tea. When he saw Yu Muhan walk in, he showed little surprise, as if he had expected her to appear.
Setting down his teacup, the man in white gave Yu Muhan a kind smile: "Miss Yu."
Yu Muhan glanced at a black nanmu wood box on the table. Without even guessing, he knew it must contain something precious: "My mother is unwell and cannot come out to greet the Holy Order envoy. I am truly sorry."
Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in the white-robed man's eyes. He handed the box to Yu Muhan: "Miss Yu, there is no need to apologize. The Holy Order heard that Madam Yu was unwell and was very worried about her condition. They specially presented her with a pill in the hope that Madam Yu will recover soon."
Yu Muhan took the box, opened it, and saw a bright green pill with obvious pill patterns on it, and a pleasant medicinal fragrance wafted out.
Closing the box, Yu Muhan's face showed no smile: "Holy Order Envoy, I still need to consider joining the Holy Order. The High Priest promised me a year; are you trying to back out?"
