"What are you laughing at?" Qing Suyue asked, a little annoyed.
"Nothing, I just admire your grand ambitions, A'Yue." Xing Yuan immediately dropped her smile and spouted nonsense with a serious face.
"Oh~" Qing Suyue's eyes held suspicion, but she had no proof.
"I think it must be those elders in the temple who deliberately don't want you to learn. I'm telling you this because I consider A'Yue a friend, so you can't tell anyone else!" Xing Yuan leaned close to Qing Suyue's ear and whispered mysteriously:
"I heard that people who are highly compatible with the power of light are also highly compatible with the power of darkness. Why don't you switch your faith to the God of Darkness! The techniques left by the God of Darkness are basically all offensive." Xing Yuan blinked her adorable eyes, trying to sway Qing Suyue.
That's right! Hurry and fall into her embrace! What's so good about the God of Light? It's basically all defense and no offense, like a turtle hiding in its shell, how could it be as majestic as her.
Qing Suyue shot Xing Yuan a resentful glare and flicked her forehead lightly. "Where did you hear such rumors? The God of Light and the God of Darkness have always been irreconcilable. So, what you heard is completely unreasonable."
"It's true! I have a distant relative who is like that," Xing Yuan argued.
Although there were no precedents, who was she? She was the God of Darkness herself. If she chose someone, even if they were originally a follower of the God of Light, it would be easy for them to possess the divine power of the God of Darkness.
Qing Suyue still shook her head, ignoring her, and continued to flip through the historical records in her hand.
Xing Yuan drooped her head, realizing that it was indeed not very convincing. She propped her chin with one hand and began to ponder. She remembered that when she was young, her relationship with Ya Yuan wasn't so bad. She seemed to have even seen a few techniques created by her back then.
Since she couldn't lure her away, she could only join her.
"Sister~" Xing Yuan's face was full of conflicted emotions.
"Why are you suddenly calling me that again?" Qing Suyue was a little surprised, her suspicious gaze falling on Xing Yuan.
For some reason, she inexplicably felt that Xing Yuan seemed to have her own cunning little schemes. This seemed to be her intuition as the Saintess of Light.
"Can't I call you A'Yue if I have nothing to do?" Xing Yuan frowned slightly, looking as if she was angry and needed to be coaxed.
"No!" Qing Suyue said softly, "I'm just a little surprised. A'Yuan can call me whatever she wants."
"Hmph ╯^╰" Xing Yuan put on a helpless act, pretending to pout, indicating that she wasn't that easily appeased. Finally, she got to the point.
"As Sister knows, I am also a follower of the God of Light. And I've seen some offensive techniques before. If Sister doesn't mind, I'll write them down for you, and Sister can try to practice them!" kuAiδugg
"Okay!" Qing Suyue's face lit up with joy.
Xing Yuan then took a few pieces of paper and wrote down the offensive light-elemental techniques she remembered.
She had personally tested them, and they were indeed effective. They had hurt herself quite a bit back then.
The techniques Xing Yuan wrote down were the most powerful ones. She hadn't bothered to remember the weaker ones. It was just that... the God of Light also remembered her techniques!
Otherwise, how could they have fought for so long without being able to determine a winner?
Qing Suyue read through them at a glance, completely certain that the techniques Xing Yuan had written were offensive and very powerful.
Qing Suyue excitedly pushed Xing Yuan out and then focused wholeheartedly on learning these techniques.
If she could learn these things, and combine them with the stealth and defense she had learned before, she would definitely be able to leave this City of Light!
Xing Yuan, who was inexplicably kicked out, suddenly regretted it. Uh... it seemed like she was being discarded after being used! Was Sister treating her like a used item?
So sad! (๑१д१)
Qing Suyue didn't think that much. She just wanted to learn the techniques quickly and leave.
Xing Yuan listlessly climbed to the rooftop to gaze at the starry sky, her eyes menacingly fixed on the holy light directly above.
Perhaps... when she left, she should extinguish the holy light.
If the holy light was extinguished, that person would also feel it, right? She had to quickly capture that outsider, otherwise... in the future, a tragedy might be repeated!
A few days later, when Xing Yuan went to get dinner, she saw the elder from before again. The elder smiled and beckoned to Xing Yuan.
Xing Yuan frowned and walked forward a few steps reluctantly.
"Elder!"
"Hmm, how has Saintess Your Highness been recently? Has she exhibited any unusual behavior?" the elder asked with a serious expression.
Xing Yuan shook her head, her eyes full of disappointment. "Saintess Your Highness stays in her room all day. I, I can hardly see her."
So, please help her think of a solution quickly!
"This... is also normal. The Saintess has always preferred quiet," the elder coughed twice, looking helpless.
"Then, Elder, do you have any suggestions? For example, what does Saintess Your Highness like? Otherwise... I'm afraid I won't be able to help Elder," Xing Yuan's voice was timid, her expression helpless.
"It's alright! As long as the Saintess doesn't leave the Temple of Light, you don't need to know anything else," the elder said indifferently, his eyes devoid of emotion.
"Right, tomorrow is the day the Saintess leaves the temple. Find a way to follow the Saintess," the elder commanded.
"Ah? Can I?"
The elder placed a ball of light in Xing Yuan's palm and encouraged her, "You have to believe in yourself. Alright, I have other matters to attend to. If Saintess Your Highness has any special circumstances, just crush this light ball, and I will rush over. You can go back now! Do not let the Saintess become suspicious."
"Oh!" Xing Yuan nodded in agreement and headed towards Qing Suyue's residence with the food tray.
"Today, it seems a bit late," Qing Suyue said doubtfully.
"Mm... I ran into someone I knew before and chatted for a bit downstairs, so it's a little late. But don't worry, A'Yue, the food is at the perfect temperature," Xing Yuan said with a smile.
"That's not what I meant!" Qing Suyue frowned slightly. "If A'Yuan meets an acquaintance, she should naturally chat for a while. It's just... I just received news tonight that the lectures will be held in a different location tomorrow."
"Oh? Where is it moving to?" Xing Yuan hadn't heard any such news.
"This time it will be in a large square in Hui City," Qing Suyue's brow twitched slightly, her face troubled.
This was probably another test, Qing Suyue thought. But... she clenched the book in her hand. This was a rare and good opportunity. With so many people, it wouldn't be too difficult for her to slip away in the chaos.
"Is there a problem with that?" Xing Yuan tilted her head, looking at Qing Suyue's clearly agitated expression, and tentatively asked, "A'Yue, do you want to leave? You don't want to stay in this Temple of Light."
"Yes!" Qing Suyue said firmly.
