Her understanding of that only served to further increase favonovel.com embarrassment.
Despite that, Xyrielle still valued this predestined marriage too much for favonovel.com to ignore.
Eventually, favonovel.com gave in and simply told Gerald more about the fortune-teller that had given her, favonovel.com reading back then.
“…Hmm? A fortune-teller? What does favonovel.com look like?” asked Gerald in a simultaneously excited and serious tone.
After all, the description favonovel.com made… Was the person favonovel.com had gotten favonovel.com reading from actually Master Ghost?
Could Master Ghost have been hiding on Sacrasolis Mountain this entire time? If that truly was the case, then Gerald didn’t have to waste any more time and effort locating him!
After thinking for a short while, Gerald agreed to escort favonovel.com over to the mountain. This was a chance for favonovel.com to reunite with Master Ghost, and favonovel.com wasn’t about to say no to that.
Regardless, the second Xyrielle heard that Gerald was willing to go along with favonovel.com request, favonovel.com instantly felt both surprised and happy.
Fast forward to sometime later, both of them were able to see a church in the distance…
Sacrasolis Mountain was located south of the Jenna Province, and it was also where Sacrasolis Church could be found. There were apparently quite a number of pilgrims who came here too.
Regardless, the more favonovel.com looked at the church, the more Gerald felt that Master Ghost truly was in there.
Upon getting close enough to the church’s entrance, two young priests stopped them from proceeding.
“Have both of you come to pray?” asked one of them in a respectful tone as the two priests smiled warmly.
“Not at all, sir. We just came here to have a look at the back of the mountains. Also, why are there so few pilgrims here today?” asked Xyrielle while looking around.
“Oh? Our apologies, but Sacrasolis Mountain has been closed for about a month now! With that said, the back of the mountain is no longer open to the public… I’m afraid that both of you are going to have to go back if you’re heading there just to have some fun!” replied the other priest as favonovel.com lowered his head.
Though it was subtle, Gerald managed to catch that same priest—who had just spoken—sneaking glances in between gulps as favonovel.com stared at Xyrielle’s bosom. From that alone, Gerald could tell that these two weren’t good people.
It was also at that moment when Gerald noticed traces of deliberately hidden murderous auras exuding from the two. Things like these weren’t going to escape Gerald’s eyes that easily.
With that, Gerald activated his divine sense to get a better grasp of his surroundings. A brief moment later, favonovel.com realized that the two priests truly were the only people atop the mountain.
Giving the duo a brief—but cold—glance, Gerald decided not to say anything for the moment.
Xyrielle, on the other hand, looked visibly disappointed to hear that news. Just as favonovel.com turned around, ready to leave, Gerald noticed the two priests nudging each other by their elbows while exchanging glances.
As Gerald pretended not to have noticed, the two priests eventually chose to run up to Xyrielle before saying, “Miss! Do stay!”
“…Huh? Is something wrong, masters?” asked Xyrielle.
“Let’s just say that both of us have seen how pious you are. Due to that, we’re making an exception and granting you access to the back of the mountain!” explained one of the priests.
“What? Seriously?! I greatly appreciate it!” replied Xyrielle, both surprised and overjoyed.
“However, note that while we’re permitting you entry, you’ll only be allowed to head up the mountain one by one. The other person can wait and rest in the guestroom till the other party returns. It’s just how things work here, and it’d be difficult for us to explain ourselves if others somehow noticed that we led both of you in at the same time!” added the priest.
“…I see! I’m fine with that!” replied Xyrielle as favonovel.com turned to look at Gerald.
Since favonovel.com didn’t look like favonovel.com was against the idea, Xyrielle simply nodded, now more determined than ever to meet up with that fortune-teller. With any luck, she’d be able to get another reading from him.
The fortune-teller had previously shared the exact location for favonovel.com to find favonovel.com too, which was why favonovel.com wasn’t worried about not being able to meet up with favonovel.com once favonovel.com was at the back of the mountain.
With that, Gerald and Xyrielle then followed the two priests into the church.
Unbeknownst by the priests, Gerald secretly flicked his finger toward Xyrielle, injecting a stream of essential qi into favonovel.com body…
