god of tomorrow

I heard nothing but Gawain's voice.

"???"

A string of question marks flashed across Lily's mind. In this situation, with a phone call, everything would seem reasonable, but there was no phone call.

Suddenly, I remembered that Gao Wen had called every few days to let me know he was safe when he went out to suppress bandits.

She suddenly realized that Gawain didn't need a phone to make calls, or rather, he had a phone in his head.

What kind of chaotic magic is this...? The God of Wishes?

"What a coincidence! Lindsay, you know me. I'm the kind of brave person who's ready to die for justice, who has the world in my heart, who vows to never coexist with gambling and drugs, and who's willing to sacrifice everything for justice!"

"It's settled then. Remember to reserve a starting spot for me. See you at Golden Channel two days from now."

Gawain hung up the phone with a smile. Lindsay had just announced a major mission from the Dark Church, to depart in two days and, very likely, to venture deep into the Kingdom of Viss.

I have a feeling this mission will be very profitable.

"Gawain, who were you talking to just now? Tell me!" Lily blinked, her smile sweet.

"It's a private matter, so it's best if you don't inquire about it, my lord."

"Don't call me 'Lord,' call me Lily!" Lily retorted, politeness creating distance; family members shouldn't be so estranged.

I'll forgive you this time, but not next time!

"You've said both the good and the bad, what am I supposed to say?"

"Tell Lindsay on the other end of the phone, is the Dawn Church going to take action against the Dark Church..." Lily was itching to speak, so she grabbed Gawain's arm and pressed him into a chair, placing a half-cup of herbal tea in front of him.

She was too loud just now, she'll change it.

“It’s possible to say that, but there’s an order to things. Lord, you might as well explain the Ram’s Head Scepter first. My intuition tells me that this thing is dangerous, and it also tells me that you know how to seal it.” Gawain took the herbal tea and drank it all in one gulp, practically stating the agreement from last night.

"Keeping it by my side is the best way to seal it away," Lily said, speaking the truth.

"Really? I can't believe it."

Gawain was skeptical, but his intuition told him that Lily was holding back and hadn't told him everything about the ram's head scepter.

"Whether you believe it or not, it's safest to keep it by my side."

"In that case, I have nothing more to say. There's nothing important on the other end of the phone; they just invited me to dinner." Gao Wen grumbled as he stood up and strode out of the library.

"Gawain, you'll regret this!"

"We'll talk about it when we regret it."

boom!

You'd better get cleaned up tonight, and I'll show you what I'm made of!

The door to the library was slammed shut. A moment later, a red-haired head pushed the door open and walked in with a puzzled expression.

Let me see what's going on.

"Lily, what made Gawain angry again?"

"He clearly had information but didn't tell me, deliberately trying to manipulate me. You have no idea, he never tells the truth, he can make things up and act, he's so wicked!"

Lily poured out her grievances, detailing exactly how bad it was, such as how the dead person's motionless body exhausted her. It would be difficult to describe her position in less than a few thousand words, so I won't go into the details here.

We can't just say everything!

"It's not entirely Gao Wen's fault. I saw it all. He was reading a book, and when you came in, he made you some black tea..."

Herwi shook her head. She was there and witnessed it firsthand: Lily threw a tantrum first, and then Gawain responded forcefully.

That's because...

Lily hesitated, wanting to speak but not daring to, and left with a cold snort: "He even tricked my sister away. What's wrong with asking him to make me a pot of black tea? I didn't mean to do anything to him. I just want an attitude... Anyway, it's his fault."

ε=(?ο｀*)))

Life is tough, Herwi sighed.

Her boyfriend and sister seem to be natural enemies, constantly giving each other the cold shoulder, which prevents them from getting closer, leaving her caught in the middle and in a dilemma.

Can anyone give me some advice?

in a hurry.

After thinking about it, Lily could just leave it alone, drink some black tea, and she would be fine on her own in a couple of days.

Gao Wen didn't cause any trouble; he simply settled things and then said a few kind words to his sister.

"Sigh, they're all stubborn. Why don't they just take a step back when they're wronged?"

"I don't get angry when I'm wronged. When will you all be as mature as me...?"

"This family will fall apart sooner or later without me!"

Chapter 217 When in doubt, teammates go first.

Herwie was a woman of her word, and that very night she acted as a go-between for her sister.

Thanks to her persistent efforts, Gawain did forgive Lily and generously said he would let bygones be bygones.

"It's settled!"

The next day at noon, Herve found Lily with the information, explained the content of Gawain and Lindsay's conversation, and warned Lily again not to put on airs or give Gawain a hard time.

"..."

Are you trying to persuade me? You're just lusting after him! You're the number one glutton in the house!

“We’re all family, why make things so tense? We need to learn to get along well. Trust me, Gao Wen is worth it.”

Herwi tried to persuade them earnestly, saying that since they really couldn't get along, it would be good for them to pretend to be close for Herwi's sake!

"..."

Well, we actually have a pretty good relationship, but because we're too close, we end up arguing all sorts of things during the day.

Lily silently gave herself the answer. Besides the humiliation she suffered at Gao Wen's hands for coming to his house for drinks, there was another reason she wanted to avoid suspicion. She also seriously suspected Gao Wen shared her thoughts. Unsure what expression to make, and unable to communicate effectively, she simply gave him a cold, indifferent look.

“Look, Gawain didn’t intend to hide anything from us. As soon as I mentioned it, Lily was curious, and he spilled it all. That shows he still cares about you.” Hervy continued to try her best to say nice things and ease the tension between her boyfriend and sister.

"..."

That's not important. Even if you didn't exert yourself last night, I could still find out. Just don't overexert yourself.

"Will it work or not? Lily, tell me!"

"Okay, okay, okay..."

Herwi had put it this way, what could Lily do? Her sister had always been her weakness, and she would rather suffer herself than let Herwi suffer.

"Let's change the subject. He's meeting Lindsay at the Golden Passage tomorrow afternoon, and they'll most likely cross the border to the Kingdom of Vis..."

Talking about Gawain in front of Hervy made Lily feel uncomfortable all over, especially her sense of shame, which kept teetering on the edge of taboo. She felt that if they talked about it a few more times, she would become desensitized.

What respectable older sister would be so desensitized to something like this? She'd be doing her younger sister a disservice.

Oh, even a proper older sister wouldn't raid at night.

I feel even more sorry for my sister!

“The Kingdom of Vis is much more chaotic than the Kingdom of Jinyao. There are numerous churches of all sizes within its borders, as well as the Dark Church lurking in the shadows. Gawain may have some cleverness, but compared to an old fox like Lindsay, he is somewhat impatient. It would be bad if he were used as a pawn.” Lily frowned slightly.

"Wasn't we supposed to change the subject? Why are you still talking about Gao Wen?"

Herwi asked when she didn't understand, and then suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "I knew it. Lily has always liked Gawain, she just pretended not to care."

No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

Lily immediately became anxious upon hearing this: "I'm not concerned about him, I'm afraid he'll get hurt, or disappear like Father, and you'll run off to the Kingdom of Weiss. I'm concerned about you."

"I see."

Herwi winked and made faces, forcibly labeling Lily as cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She really went to great lengths to increase the intimacy between her boyfriend and her sister.

"Since you know so much about this, I'll leave it to you."

Lily turned her head away angrily, but didn't leave. She pricked up her ears to hear what Hervy had to say.

If Hervy were to go to the Kingdom of Vis with Gawain, she would absolutely not agree, at least not now. Only when the Church of Dawn exposes the Church of Darkness and leaves it with no place to stay on the continent of Universal is it time for her to launch a counterattack.

Hervy knew that Richiod was powerful and that the Dark Church was spread throughout the Kingdom of Vis. She and Lily going to the Kingdom of Vis to make their presence felt would only make Gawain's mission more difficult, and she had no intention of causing trouble.

As for whether Gawain might get injured while taking risks, or be sacrificed by Lindsay as a teammate, Hervy said it wouldn't be a big problem. She had a lot of confidence in her boyfriend. At most, he would suffer a little, but it wasn't that easy for him to disappear without a trace.

To paraphrase Lily, Gawain is in his developmental stage, and overprotection would only backfire. Corresponding hardships and crises are the most solid foundation for building a skyscraper.

"you……"

Lily, who was growing up, looked at her younger sister, who was maturing, with surprise and a touch of envy, and said that mature women are different. They are much more composed than before and have learned to look at problems from a long-term perspective.

"Hehe, Gao Wen taught me all of that!"

"I taught you before, why didn't you listen then?"

"I just didn't understand it back then!"

"..."

It's open now, right?

Lily thought to herself, maybe it was just a misperception caused by the gloomy mood of the past few days, but Hervy's driving skills seemed to be getting more and more proficient, and she could step on the gas and speed right in front of her every now and then.

……

That night.

The wind howled, and the weather remained terrible.

Gao Wen sat cross-legged on the bed, taking advantage of the time before anyone arrived to meditate and cultivate.

It doesn't matter who comes; helping others is helping yourself. After taking a shower, he only wrapped a towel around his waist and asked the other person to move around on their own and not disturb his cultivation.

Knowing that Gao Wenming was going on a long trip tomorrow and needed to be in high spirits, Hervy didn't come tonight.

A girlfriend who knows when to advance and when to retreat, and understands boundaries, is truly rare.

My clueless girlfriend's older sister is here!
