1649 Xinxias Wrath (2/2)
It took the Great Priest by surprise. The other two Great Priests quickly pulled him back and told him not to provoke the Candidate for now.
Knight Apollo grinned as he looked at the mustached Great Priest, his expression finally shifting for once.
That Great Priest had never treated the Saintess seriously. He still dared to act so self-conceited when Bude had picked on someone close to the Saintess. The old man was asking for it!
”Saintess, I will look into it myself. I will do justice to your brother. As for Bude, who abused his authority and neglected human lives, I will punish him accordingly, too!” one of the other Great Priests blurted out. He knew it was unwise to be opposing the Saintess under the circumstances.
Tata emphasized her sigh as she stepped forward. ”Your Honor, he's going to be fine with me treating his injuries. The Hall of Faith has been flouting the law and disregarding the rules lately. We'll let the Great Priests handle it. You three, you are the souls of the Hall of Faith with the highest authority. You will investigate this incident. As for Bude, who couldn't distinguish between right and wrong, we don't need him here anymore.”
”Yes, yes, you're right, Bude shall be punished,” the Great Priest that intervened as the mediator agreed hastily.

Mo Fan recovered pretty quickly. His body was as strong as an ox, after all.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself lying in a building specially allocated for convalescing patients. It was the familiar bed and the familiar fragrance of the little maid serving him.
Mo Fan was not thinking clearly in the interrogation room, but he had still heard Xinxia's angry words.
Even Mo Fan had never seen Xinxia behaving like that, let alone Tata and Apollo!
For some reason, Mo Fan was actually very proud of her!
”Brother Mo Fan, do you have a list of daily quests in your mind? Do you only feel comfortable after finishing all your quests?” Xinxia moved her wheelchair herself. She had a plate of fruits on her knees to provide Mo Fan with some refreshment.
”What do you mean?” Mo Fan asked, looking confused.
”Is it really that difficult for you to stay away from dangerous situations?” Xinxia grumbled.
”...” Mo Fan was left speechless.
Xinxia was complaining about how he had been courting death every day!
Tata had already told her that a strong Super Light Mage was responsible for his injuries. Why would Mo Fan fight a Super Mage when he was only an Advanced Mage!?
”I didn't have a choice,” Mo Fan said.
”Isn't that always the case?” Xinxia asked in return.
”The world is full of evil, so a man with an ambition to become a hero like me is going to be pretty busy… by the way, how long did I sleep? I still have important business to attend to. Speaking of which, that Priest Bude, can you find out who was asking him to make things difficult for me?” Mo Fan said.
