Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

"..."

disturbed.

Anxiety is growing!

The saintess discovered that the girl before her seemed different from what she had imagined. After her last meeting with Zuo Chang, she immediately arranged for someone to investigate.

In conclusion—

Yaotai Zhen Gong has a distinctive and striking personality. Her most prominent characteristic is her pride. She is inexplicably high-profile and flamboyant. She not only shows no kindness to those she looks down on, but also unscrupulously vents her malice.

Their words and actions are often inhumane and extremely hurtful.

Because of this, she often suffered unfair treatment and subtle retaliation, and had almost no friends except for her family.

But Yaotai Mayumi was not only rude, she was not stupid.

When facing a senior with real skills, or someone with exceptional talent, she knows how to temper her brilliance and instead communicate with them in a very dignified and courteous manner.

Therefore, although she didn't have many friends, they were of very high quality.

and so……

"Am I now considered one of the valuable ones by her? Or is this just a test? She is Misato Asuka's daughter, and she should stand on her mother's side."

The Holy Maiden of Time remains a mystery.

She remained calm and simply said, "You're too kind. I've also heard about your talents, and... you seem to have mastered a completely new power. Your body is like a furnace, containing boundless potential."

Mayumi was somewhat surprised: "You could tell?"

The saint nodded: "That's what my intuition tells me, and my intuition is very accurate."

Mayumi smiled and said, "With Father's help, I have indeed mastered a skill. However, I am not yet proficient in it... As one of the most skilled spellcasters in the world, perhaps you can guide me."

The saintess became alert!

As she pondered Mayumi's thoughts, she said, "Your power is vastly different from mine. However, all magic in the world originates from the same source, and spellcasting techniques have many things in common. If there's anything you don't understand, you can try coming to me, although I may not be able to give you a satisfactory answer."

"Really? That's great!"

Mayumi seemed genuinely happy.

She was bold enough to take the saintess's hand and ask, "Saintess, when will you come to our place?"

this……

To be precise, the saintess no longer wants to go back.

The reading group is no longer the same as it was during the church's schism. After several expansions and re-elections, the saint's position within it has been gradually challenged, and she has long harbored resentment.

Now that even the system of gods has disappeared, is there still any need to maintain the reading club?

The saintess stated bluntly, "I have decided to disband the reading group and restart the church. Currently... I am selecting a location for the Church of Time, and I am also considering either conversion or recruiting a new group of monks and nuns to spread the gospel of the Goddess of Time."

"Really?"

Mayumi's eyes lit up again, and she immediately asked, "Can I become a nun?"

Chapter 332 Light and Heavy

Looking at the shining eyes of the Holy Maiden of Time, she thought she resembled a rabbit.

It appears harmless.

but……

why?

Judging by her own logic, the girl in front of her shouldn't be so enthusiastic. She should be on her mother's side, and even if she wasn't hostile towards her, she shouldn't be so affectionate.

"Is it a conspiracy?"

The saintess, who had been in a leadership position for many years, couldn't help but think this way.

but--

If this is a conspiracy, what is its purpose?

After a moment's consideration, she said in a businesslike manner, "Of course, as long as you can accept the doctrines of the Church of Time, you can become a servant of the Goddess."

Mayumi looks very enthusiastic.

She looked somewhat ashamed and said, "Holy Maiden, my understanding of the Church of Time is very limited. I only know that you are morally upright and take it as your responsibility to support the younger generation and assist the weak."

The saintess smiled slightly: "It's alright. I've already arranged for Lychee to come to 96511 ahead of time. You should be able to find her in the Heavenly King City. She's an advanced nun in my sect. If you want to learn about the Light of Time Sect, you can go find her."

"I will."

Mayumi nodded seriously.

Mayumi and the saintess were whispering to each other, and apart from the very interested god, no one else paid any attention.

Zuo Chang was contemplating his next move, so engrossed in his thoughts that he blocked out all outside noise and didn't hear a thing.

at the moment……

"Weaving fate, I've used it twice already. This time it was a complete sneak attack, almost impossible for me to be exposed, but last time—it's hard to say whether I was exposed or not."

The last time fate was woven, it was done very suddenly.

Without notifying anyone, the gods revealed this wondrous technique as if demonstrating their power.

Fate weaves a tapestry of death, invisible yet not without trace. Those who die in the game will die suddenly in reality from "cardiac arrest."

This cause of death is highly suspicious.

How could experts at the tenth or twelfth realm die so easily? If Zuo Chang received similar news, his first thought would be that he had been tricked.

Furthermore, Shenyin will know that "General Tianwang" is in 96511, and they are opposing someone who is charging towards the gods.

Under such circumstances, it was only natural to suspect Zuo Chang.

If Zuo Chang were a member of the Divine Sound Society, he would definitely send people to follow and investigate to see if he was the one behind it all.

He suddenly looked up and asked, "Fankou, have the people outside left?"

"This is thanks to the gods and your great power! Those bastards who were squatting there are all dead!" Fan Kou waved his hand, his face sinister. "There's no one left on the street now, but... I believe the Aloe Clan won't give up easily. They're definitely still keeping watch, they just don't dare to show themselves."

Zuo Chang nodded slowly and looked at the Holy Maiden: "Did you record that teleportation point from before?"

The saintess looked at him and said, "There's no record. But if the previous copy was a one-to-one replica, I can find that point."

"Please invite that gentleman here."

"Ah."

The saintess vanished in a flash.

After a brief delay, she came back with a whoop, holding a bewildered old man in her hand.

Not to mention the old man, both Mayumi and Banguchi were taken aback, staring at the old man who had suddenly appeared.

This old man was naturally from the thatched hut.

He looked left and right, finally fixing his gaze on the woman behind him: "You...you...could you be the Holy Maiden of the Church of Time? I've heard so much about you! Such an outstanding teleportation method, in my memory, only that Holy Maiden possesses such ability!"

The saintess nodded: "I am."

"Oh……"

The old man landed on both feet and looked at the people around him.

where is this?

What am I going to do?

Ashiya Mitsuru looked around, finally fixing his gaze on Zuo Chang's face: "You are the leader of this place, aren't you? What brings you here to rescue me?"

For a moment, Zuo Chang didn't know what to say.

Previously in the instance, everyone's actions were given a special meaning.

Once the player retrieves Ashiya Mitsuru, Ashiya Mitsuru immediately knows what to do, and communication between them is naturally seamless.

But now, there is clearly more caution.

Zuo Chang hesitated for a moment before saying, "You must be Ashiya Mitsuru! I've heard so much about you!"

Ashiya Mitsuru frowned, his gaze towards Zuo Chang filled with wariness: "Who are you? Why do you know my name?"

Zuo Chang laughed and said, "Your skills are unparalleled. You are the first person to study the magic of aloe vera! The techniques of geological exploration and the creation of life from stubborn rocks all originated from you. How could I not know your name?"

"..."

Now, Ashiya's vigilance deepened even further!

He looked Zuo Chang up and down and said, "Strange, very strange. My existence is the biggest secret of the Aloe Clan! The geological exploration technique and the creation of stubborn rocks were indeed my doing, but only the patriarchs of the Aloe Clan and a very few retired elders know about this. How did you find out?"

"Regardless, you don't possess any Earth God power, so you're clearly not a member of the Aloe Clan... Even if you were, you shouldn't know that!"

Ah this.

Zuo Chang originally intended to use someone else's name to make a big show of things, but now it seems he has shot himself in the foot.

He hesitated, unsure how to explain, then simply said, "Senior Lu, I'm here to save you! The Aloe Clan not only failed to value your talent but also imprisoned you in the Heavenly Prison. What kind of logic is that? Don't worry, you're free now!"

"what!"

Ashiya Mitsuru chuckled and shook his head vigorously.

He had already begun to channel his magical power, his face filled with extreme vigilance: "You're exaggerating! It's true that the Aloe Clan doesn't allow me to go out, but there's a reason for that; as for my talent... researching divine arts has always been my passion, and the Aloe Clan gave me the opportunity, so how can you say you don't value it?"

Clearly, Ashiya Mitsuru was a cautious person.

He wasn't telling the truth just now, it was just—

How can we prove that this group of people is reliable?

Is following them necessarily better than staying in prison?

The Aloe Clan is indeed using Ashiya Mitsuru, but if Ashiya Mitsuru had no use for them, why would this young man in front of them save him?

Before even understanding what was going on, they followed this group of people. In the end, it was just jumping from one cage to another. What difference did it make?

Seeing that he was unyielding and unable to think of a way to persuade him, Zuo Chang was at a loss for words.
