Chapter 748: Murong Dan
Yu Muhan met the young man's gaze coldly, without replying.
The young man wasn't annoyed by her lack of response; he asked patiently, "Can I talk to you?"
Yu Muhan refused decisively: "No, I need to go back to my room to rest."
Because of her mother's situation, she now feels that there is no good person in the Holy Church, and she has no desire to maintain any friendly relations with the other saints.
As the girl turned to leave, a strange glint flashed in the young man's dark phoenix eyes.
Immediately, she heard a young man's voice behind her, tinged with amusement: "Miss Yu, are you aware of what has happened at Lingfeng Academy in Lingyun Kingdom recently?"
Yu Muhan's expression changed slightly, her steps faltered, and she turned to stare at the young man.
The young man strode over, a gentle smile on his face: "My name is Murong Dan. Miss Yu, I mean you no harm."
"Murong Dan?" Yu Muhan murmured softly. It was a name she had never heard before.
Murong Dan glanced at her and explained with a smile, "Dan refers to red. I've loved red since I was little because it's both vibrant and intense, like burning blood..."
Yu Muhan was speechless for a moment.
To compare one's own name to blood?
This person is really inexplicable.
"What exactly do you want to say to me?" Yu Muhan's face darkened again as he recalled what he had just said.
Murong Dan smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Yu was once a student of Lingfeng Academy. Didn't the Great Gods ask you any questions?"
Yu Muhan stared at him coldly: "You searched, and then what? Are you asking me what my relationship is with the demons?"
“Since Miss Yu is being trained by the Holy Order to become a Saintess, it must be because they have found out that you have no connection with the Demon Clan, right?” Murong Dan brought her face closer to Yu Muhan, her phoenix eyes fixed on her face: “I have a question for Miss Yu.”
"If the demons invade in the future, will you fight alongside the Holy Church to kill the invaders, or will you side with your former demon allies?"
The man's thin lips parted and closed, uttering the most provocative words in the gentlest voice.
Yu Muhan's pupils contracted slightly, and her mind went blank for a moment—what did he mean by saying such things to her?
Was he testing her? Or did he have another purpose?
"Miss Yu?" Murong Dan called out softly.
Yu Muhan snapped out of her daze, met his gaze with an icy expression, and asked in return, "What do you think?"
“I think Miss Yu still feels pity for that demon. After all, you two really spent time together, right?” Murong Dan said, straightening her back, and then continued slowly, “But you are the future Holy Maiden. To feel pity for the demon is to betray the Holy Church—guess what kind of fate awaits those who betray the Holy Church?”
Yu Muhan narrowed his eyes.
This man... is very likely someone sent by the Great Divine Envoy to test her.
The Great God Envoy was suspicious by nature. Even when he asked her to inquire about Xiao Fei's affairs, he did not completely trust her. So he asked Murong Dan to approach her and subtly probe her.
Xiao Fei was the one who changed her.
Regardless of Xiao Fei's identity, she will always choose to believe in Xiao Fei without question.
Therefore, she now needs to feign cooperation with the Holy Church to reduce their suspicion of her—only in this way can she save her own life, the lives of her parents, and the lives of everyone in her Yu clan.
Yu Muhan slightly raised his lips and said to Murong Dan, "Thank you for your kind advice. I had already anticipated that there would be a day when we would have to fight against the demons, since I was able to join the Holy Sect."
