Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Li Yian was a little confused. Why...
Li Yian was a little confused. Why should he apologize to her?
Li Yian was confused, but she didn't think too much about it. The serious matter was to hand in her application to the High Priest.
The study wasn't large, and its decor was plain and simple. It had only a row of bookshelves filled with books, a desk, and two chairs. On the desk lay a brush, inkstone, and paper. But it was very clean, and the air was filled with a faint scent of incense, which seemed to calm people.
The high priest sat at the table, dressed in green, with waist-length hair tied with a white ribbon at the ends. He was a little thin and still looked like a young man in his early twenties. But he looked like this when Li Yian met him eight or nine years ago.
The High Priest had been wearing a silver mask, and only the lower half of his face could be seen. The exposed skin looked delicate and pale. At this moment, he smiled slightly and said, "Come in." His voice was gentle and elegant.
The voice was neither slow nor slow, and carried a peaceful and sacred aura, which eased Li Yian's tension a little. Li Yian bowed respectfully to the High Priest, replied "Yes", and walked towards the High Priest.
She handed the application to the High Priest with both hands and explained her purpose for coming here: "High Priest, I would like to apply to be an apprentice warrior in the palace."
The High Priest took the application from her hand, but did not open it. He simply asked gently, "Yian, do you know that two people in the Mu family have mysteriously disappeared?"
Li Yian nodded quickly, "Yes."
The High Priest continued, "Yian, you are a warrior from the Martial Academy and have the obligation to protect people's lives and safety. Now that the Mu family is in this situation, we need you to stay and serve as a guardian. I hope you can protect the Mu family well. As for going to the palace to be an apprentice warrior, perhaps we need to wait until the Mu family issue is resolved before discussing it."
His voice was gentle, yet had an irresistible power.
Li Yian was stunned. Even though this was a request from the high priest she worshipped, she still frowned.
The thought of continuing to clash with Mu Yang made her feel extremely anxious. She still wanted to fight for it: "There will be candidates in the Wu Academy who are more suitable than me, such as Qi Yang, whose abilities are much better than mine."
"You have your own strengths. You and Mu Yang grew up together and have a deep relationship. You are the best choice to protect Mu Yang personally."
Li Yian was stunned. Guarding Mu Yang closely?!
Suddenly she realized why Mu Yang said sorry when he saw her just now. She and Mu Yang were sworn enemies, but she was arranged by the High Priest to protect him closely?
"Master Priest!" Li Yian's voice suddenly rose in excitement. Realizing that he was being disrespectful, he quickly bowed to the Master Priest and lowered his voice, "I think it would be better for the Prince Warrior to guard Muyang. The Prince Warrior's martial arts skills are far superior to mine!"
The plot clearly states that Li Xuan is Mu Yang's personal guardian. As the only person in the seminary to have been detected with divine power, Mu Yang is considered the heir of the divine bloodline. His safety is naturally of paramount importance, so it is only right that he be protected by the most powerful person, Li Xuan.
"But you are a member of the Mu family, aren't you? Aren't you willing to protect your family?"
The High Priest asked lightly, leaving Li Yian speechless and unable to refute. Yes, she was a member of the Mu family, and she had deep feelings for the Mu family.
She was also worried about the recent events at the Mu family. The mysterious disappearance of the two servants gave her a very ominous feeling. She remembered that in the middle of the novel, the servants of the Mu family gradually disappeared, and finally the family was brutally exterminated. With the exception of Mu Yang, over a hundred people in the Mu family were killed.
The High Priest said gently, "I think it's best for Yi'an and Li Xuan to jointly protect Mu Yang and the Mu family."
Li Yian's mentality collapsed, and he quickly raised his eyes to look at the High Priest.
I originally wanted to escape from the male protagonist, but I was assigned a task by the high priest and was bound to the two male protagonists. This was simply a hellish experience.
But she stood there in shock, her mouth opening and closing, unable to utter a word of rebuttal. Could she allow the Mu family to suffer the evil and cruelty while she fled the palace alone?
The High Priest looked at her with a gentle gaze. "Any other questions?"
