On the other side, observing everyone's expressions, Ye Cangtian's face showed a faint smile.
"What are you all excited about? Chairs are just for sitting, aren't they? I'm tired now, and I can't even rest here for a while?"
"..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, everyone's expressions softened considerably, but only slightly.
After all, in their hearts, that chair was only for the Pope to sit on. Now that Ye Cangtian was sitting on it, they felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian didn't pay them any mind for the moment. He had already sat down and had no intention of getting up.
He beckoned to Gui Wu, who immediately understood his meaning. Gui Wu quickly helped Nancy to the main seat and sat down.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian's expression turned serious.
"I don't want to waste words, so you'd better listen carefully to every word I say!"
"I ask you, do you follow the will of the Great Consecrator and recognize Nancy as the Pope of the Hall of Light?"
"As for the future development and management of the Hall of Light, I will not interfere or inquire about it. I can guarantee this..."
While asking, Ye Cangtian also dispelled everyone's doubts.
As they listened to his words, the members of the Knights of Light hesitated for a long time. Finally, led by someone, the entire Knights of Light knelt down.
In this situation, those who were originally from the outer court also knelt down.
"We are willing to follow the will of the Great Consecrator and recognize Nancy as the Pope of the Hall of Light. We will not change this in this life!"
Although they all feared Nancy's relationship with Ye Cangtian,
everyone knew that this was their best choice, otherwise, the Hall of Light would face destruction in the future.
"Very good. Since you have accepted Nancy, I, on behalf of the Huaxia forces, will immediately sign a friendly agreement with the Pope of the Hall of Light. From now on, both sides will develop peacefully..."
...
Time flew by, and ten days passed.
Under the efficacy of a Nine Heavens Life Continuation Pill, Nancy had completely recovered.
Currently, in the outer hall, Nancy, Gui Wu, and Ye Cangtian were discussing something.
While Nancy was recuperating, Gui Wu had been managing the Hall of Light.
With Nancy's return to power, Gui Wu naturally resumed her position as a Consecrator in the outer hall. Therefore, no one dared to object to her managing the Hall of Light.
Furthermore, ever since Ye Cangtian signed the peace agreement with Nancy that day, everyone had been very cooperative with Gui Wu in their work.
This was not because they feared Ye Cangtian.
Instead, it was due to a very simple principle: when the superiors are focused on striving for dominance, the subordinates simply long for peace.
As subordinates, these people yearned for peace, as the vast majority of them had wives, children, and elderly parents, and did not wish to die on the battlefield.
Now that the superiors were dead and peace had arrived as desired, it was natural for these subordinates to be the most excited.
Because of this, they naturally obeyed Nancy's faction, who brought them peace.
Listening to Gui Wu's account of the situation, Nancy smiled and patted Gui Wu's shoulder, saying, "Well done. With you around, I can relax a lot more."
"Hmph! What are you thinking!"
"I only helped you handle these trivial matters because you were injured. Once you're better, you'll have to do it yourself!"
"I want to cultivate here, to enter secluded cultivation, and strive to break through to the Heavenly level as soon as possible!"
Gui Wu gave Nancy a glare and then spoke.
This was her true feeling. The events this time had made her deeply realize that no matter how strong others were, they were still others. She could not live under the protection of others forever.
Therefore, only by becoming strong herself could she live the life she wanted.
Most importantly, she absolutely did not want what happened this time to happen again.
"Heh heh, how can you break through by yourself? We are sisters, we should strive together."
"So I've decided that we'll take turns managing the Hall of Light and entering secluded cultivation, progressing together..."
Nancy quickly said.
For her past self, she greatly desired the recognition of the Hall of Light, yearned to inherit the position of Pope, or to enter the inner hall.
However, after spending time with Ye Cangtian, this desire gradually disappeared.
Until now, none of these were important to her. She wanted even more to travel the world with Ye Cangtian and the others.
However, she also knew that her current strength was insufficient. Even by Ye Cangtian's side, she would be of no use and might even become a burden.
Therefore, she had to get rid of all this, and the only way was to cultivate diligently...
"You..."
Hearing Nancy's decision, Gui Wu was so angry that she stomped her feet. If it were according to Nancy's plan, her strength progression would be significantly delayed.
But Nancy had suffered so much to save her, making it difficult for her to object.
At a crucial moment, Ye Cangtian laughed heartily and said, "Strength is secondary. The most important thing is to enjoy life and live happily."
Hmph!
The two women unanimously let out a soft hum and turned their heads away in response to Ye Cangtian's words.
Awkward!
Ye Cangtian showed a wry smile and then changed the subject, saying, "I know you are both reluctant to see me go, but the matters in the Hall of Light are over, and I have to go back..."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two women immediately changed. However, the next moment, Gui Wu snorted and said, "Who said we're reluctant to see you go! Without you, we sisters are doing just fine!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Nancy agreed, forcing herself to say, "If you want to leave, hurry up and go, so you don't bother us."
The two women knew that they couldn't keep Ye Cangtian no matter what, so they decided not to. Saying this was also to make him feel a little better.
"Alas, alright!"
Ye Cangtian smiled wryly and then opened his arms.
Seeing this, Nancy and Gui Wu were stunned for a moment, but they quickly came to their senses and finally embraced him.
After hugging the two women, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Take care, both of you. Don't forget, we promised that after everything is over, we'll go on a tour together..."
With that, Ye Cangtian lowered his arms and disappeared from the side hall in a flash.
"Damn boss!"
"The boss is quite a scoundrel..."
The two women muttered and returned to their seats dejectedly.
...
Huaxia Capital.
After returning to Huaxia, Ye Cangtian headed straight for the family compound.
When Xu Weiwei saw Ye Cangtian, she quickly put down the documents in her hand and walked over.
"You scoundrel, did you have a good time this time? Decided to come back?"
Hearing Xu Weiwei's words, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and did not stand on ceremony. He directly sat on the reclining chair under the tree and stretched leisurely.
He then looked at Xu Weiwei and said, "Miss Weiwei, do you have any objections to me? I clearly went through life and death. How can you call it 'playing'? If you say that, next time I'll assign such matters to you!"
"You..."
With that one sentence, Xu Weiwei's cheeks turned red with anger, but she had no way to refute him.
The next moment, Xu Weiwei also sat down beside him and said indignantly, "Tell me, how did things go at the Hall of Light? Why did you stay away for more than half a month?"
During this past half-month, apart from her notifying Ye Cangtian to check the battle network, the two had not contacted each other.
Therefore, she had no idea about the situation at the Hall of Light, which was why she was very concerned about Ye Cangtian.
