Chapter 281 Elisa's Idol
"I'm sorry, sir, you cannot go in!"
After Qin Mo handed his invitation to the temple to the red-robed priest blocking the entrance to the Temple of Sages, the priest's expression changed drastically, and he then used the Great Xia language to prevent Qin Mo from entering.
"What do you mean?" Qin Mo's words were as cold as ice. He tried his best to control his emotions and suppress the anger in his heart.
Holding a prestigious university's acceptance letter, having traveled across the ocean and endured countless hardships to reach the school gate, only to be informed that he could not enroll—this feeling would be unbearable for anyone, let alone Qin Mo, who had already adapted to his current status as a prince.
The red-robed priest holding Qin Mo's invitation letter clearly couldn't understand the meaning of "What does this mean?" The Great Xia language was too complicated; he had never heard of such a word before.
But he felt the coldness emanating from Qin Mo very deeply. He couldn't understand how such a young Easterner could make him feel cold from the bottom of his heart.
“Your Excellency, I think you have misunderstood me. Your invitation is for the inner palace, not for entering through here.”
The purple-robed high priest, who had been observing coldly from the other side, walked over. He noticed the difference in Qin Mo's invitation. Although the confrontation between Chen Xuanji and him had made him dissatisfied with the students of Great Xia, he still came over immediately to explain.
The red-robed priest carefully examined Qin Mo's golden invitation letter again, forcing a gentle smile as he returned it to him. Qin Mo saw envy and...jealousy in his eyes.
"Oh! Where is the inner palace...?"
Qin Mo's mood suddenly improved. When he saw the envious look in the other person's eyes, he felt incredibly happy. It seemed that his invitation was not an ordinary notice, but a graduate school admission notice!
“Go right from here and follow the stone wall until you see another door. Someone will greet you there.”
The purple-robed high priest pointed him in the right direction without expression, then returned to his own position. He glanced at Elisa and Julian behind Qin Mo, then lowered his head and ignored them both.
“Excuse me, Professor Julian, I am Elisa Stanley of the Venice Stanley family. May I take Lady Qin Mo to the entrance of the inner sanctum?”
When Elisa and Julian heard that Qin Mo was not allowed to enter, they both rushed up the steps. They both had the same idea—to use their family's reputation to solve Qin Mo's problem.
But when they saw the golden invitation letter in Qin Mo's hand, which faintly emitted energy fluctuations, the two were petrified again. It wasn't until the purple-robed high priest pointed out the way to Qin Mo that they came to their senses.
“Oh! Of course, His Excellency Wenger Steinlia should be at the entrance of the inner hall. You can introduce him to this... His Excellency Qin Mo.”
After obtaining permission from the cardinal, Elisa bowed to Qin Mo and respectfully said, "Your Excellency Qin Mo, please follow me!"
A path winds its way around the stone walls of the temple. The walls themselves are covered with statues, and up close, the exquisite carvings reveal their extraordinary spirit.
“Your Excellency Qin Mo, I should apologize to you. I shouldn’t have doubted your identity. I hope you can accept my sincere apology!” Elisa whispered as she led Qin Mo forward.
“You don’t need to apologize, Miss Elisa. You acted from the Temple’s perspective, so you did have reason to doubt me. Now that things have been clarified and the misunderstanding has been cleared up, there’s no need to feel apologetic.”
Elisa blinked her big eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected the "sharp-tongued" Qin Mo to be so easy to talk to. She had prepared herself to endure Qin Mo's "poisonous tongue" attack again, but Qin Mo had just let the matter drop so easily.
Giulio had been waiting cautiously, and when Elisa finally apologized, and Qin Mo readily accepted her apology, he was finally relieved. This was the best possible outcome.
"Your Highness Qin Mo, didn't you know your invitation was from the inner palace? If you had said earlier that your invitation was gold, then... these misunderstandings wouldn't have happened." Giulio said enviously, recalling Qin Mo's gleaming gold invitation.
Qin Mo did not answer Giulio directly, but jokingly said to Elisa, "See? Your cousin is standing up for you. The reason you misunderstand me and doubt me is because I am unwilling to take out the invitation from the Temple."
Giulio anxiously tried to deny it, but Qin Mo stopped him and continued, "Miss Elisa, not everyone is willing to do things according to your wishes, like me."
"Similarly, not everyone will give up their own will and wholeheartedly follow in your footsteps. For example... Giulio, you should learn to cherish... the people who love you."
Qin Mo looked at Giulio, whose face had turned red instantly, patted him on the shoulder, smiled and encouraged him, then turned and walked forward.
Elisa's face was also slightly flushed. She had been used to her cousin's obedience and care since she was a child, but Giulio was too weak. She was already a formal priestess, while her cousin had only just won the opportunity to enter the temple to study.
"Cousin Giulio, you'll get stronger, right?"
“Oh…oh! Of course, I will become stronger. I have been trying to become stronger. You know, I even went to the north to fight against the orcs.”
Elisa didn't speak to him again, but walked forward silently, thinking about Qin Mo's advice.
In front of her was Qin Mo's figure, and behind her was Giulio's figure.
Qin Mo turned around another corner tower, and suddenly the view opened up before her. Several hundred meters away, in a small square, figures were moving about, seemingly engaged in a fight.
