Chapter 86 (2/2)
“Alright, I understand. You may leave.” The pope waved slightly, indicating for Liuxue Qing to leave. Liuxue Qing still wanted to say something, but seeing the pope’s cold expression, she swallowed back her words and quietly withdrew.
The pope stood up, his face already ice cold, his eyes even colder. If what the divine princess said was true, then the theft of the goddess’s gift was definitely related to that girl. No matter who, since she had actually done a thing, violating the goddess, she definitely had to be punished. With all these indications, the divine princess’s words wouldn’t be far from the truth. The divine princess’s power was the greatest validation!
When Leng Lingyun returned to the temple, he didn’t directly report to the pope. Instead, he went to find the greatest clairvoyant, L’Oréal.
He knocked on her door quietly. L’Oréal’s celestial voice came from within. “Come in, Lingyun.”
Leng Lingyun opened the door quietly and saw the green haired L’Oréal currently standing calmly in the middle of the room, a huge transparent crystal ball on a stand. Leng Lingyun looked the woman with a complex gaze. He had always held L’Oréal with high regard. This woman was not arrogant or impatient, always the most calm headed and fair person.
“L’Oréal……” Leng Lingyun sighed quietly, not saying anything else. L’Oréal had already stopped him with a light wave of her hand.
A heavenly voice came from L’Oréal’s mouth. “I know what you came to ask. The person the goddess had been looking for is already found, correct?”
Leng Lingyun froze for a moment, falling silent.
“A useful blade or weapon against us.” L’Oréal said faintly, her gaze still strangely empty, but this strange and empty pair of eyes were often able to see the future accurately.
“So….” Leng Lingyun frowned slightly.
“So you must make her become our temple’s blade instead of weapon against us.” L’Oréal’s voice gradually became quietly, her tone meaningful.
“Lingyun understands.” Leng Lingyun nodded. With just a few words, Leng Lingyun already completely understood L’Oréal’s meaning. Claire was the exceptional person the goddess was looking for to be used for the temple, her prospects brilliant and bottomless. If she wasn’t used by the temple, then she would become a great threat. Then the temple would definitely find to think up every possible way of getting rid of her. Xuanxuan’s eager, pleading face appeared once more in Leng Lingyun’s mind.
“Go, Leng Lingyun.” L’Oréal smiled profoundly.
Leng Lingyun bowed slightly, then quietly withdrew.
After knocking on the pope’s door, the pope’’s benevolent yet dignified voice came. “Lingyun, come in.”
After entering, Leng Lingyun saw the pope standing at next to the window with an icy cold expression. He seemed to be pondering about something.
“Your holiness.” Leng Lingyun said quietly.
“There’s been progress made for the matter of the theft of the goddess’s gift.” The pope said coldly.
Leng Lingyun froze, then said while frowning, “A lead has been found so soon? Who exactly was it that was able to steal the goddess’s gift?”
But the pope didn’t respond to Leng Lingyun’s question immediately. Instead, he turned and said meaningfully, “Today when you went to find Claire, was there a black clothed black haired man who’s strength you couldn’t see through and seemed inhuman?”
Leng Lingyun frowned slightly, not understanding the purpose of the pope’s question, but he remembered the scene of Claire being struck flying violently. He couldn’t help but nod slightly. “Correct. His power was very strong, and his power is very wild.”
“Did he have a human aura?” The pope asked quietly, but he already knew the answer.
Leng Lingyun fell silent. After a long time, he shook his head. “I couldn’t feel any human aura from him.”
“Humph!” The pope humphed coldly, his eyes already filled with fury. Audacious! A trifling castellan actually had the arrogance to steal the goddess’s gift! She was actually able to summon a grandiose dragon to do such shady business!
Leng Lingyun couldn’t help but call out a little worriedly, “Your holiness?” How could he not feel the huge change in the pope’s aura?
The pope’s eyes became icy cold, but he suppressed his fury. He turned towards Leng Lingyun, already planning how he was going to punish Claire.
The pope adjusted his expression and asked, “That’s right, what did you come here for?”
“The person the goddess was looking for has been found. I have already confirmed with L’Oréal. It is them.” Leng Lingyun’s words lightened the pope’s dark complexion.
“What? Already found? L’Oréal also confirmed?” The pope became a little excited. This was earth shaking news! The goddess had ordered to find the person long ago, yet they had only found out now.
“Yes, already found.” Leng Lingyun looked at the excited pope and revealed a smile.
“The person who caused the anomaly in the sky?! Are you sure?” The pope asked a little eagerly.
“Yes. It was she who caused the anomaly in the sky.” Leng Lingyun replied certainly.“The person who caused the anomaly in the sky that morning is none other than Claire Hill.”
