”Since Reverend has already accepted her pay?” The pope's eyes were slits He was s Claire raised a brow Of course Claire understood what the pope ift of the Goddess and it was time for her to reciprocate
”Your holiness, what can your servant do for the Tehed in her heart Afterall, she did take their stuff and the sly old fox did do her a huge favor
”Haha, of course…” But before the pope finished, footsteps sounded at the door, followed i
”Come in” The pope seemed to knoho it was
As the door opened slowly, Leng Lingyun and Liu Xueqing appeared As they walked in, when they saw Claire, their eyes flashed with shock Claire turned to see the two After a slight nod, just when she was about to turn back, she noticed what they were holding
Each person was carrying a box, one large, one small
”Was it resolved?” The pope saze was certain and he was satisfied The two had never disappointed him
Liu Xueqing glanced at Claire and hesitated Leng Lingyun was unexpectedly frowning
But the pope s ”Don't worry, Claire is now a priest of our Temple, not an outsider”
A complex emotion flitted across her eyes, but she still opened the box Leng Lingyun's eyes were also filled with a, but was halted by the pope's knowing gaze
When Claire saas inside the box, she stiffened
Inside the box was a glass bottle containing two bloody eyeballs! With black irises! And a handful of black hair!
Claire felt her blood run cold Her gaze rested on the bottle and the black hair, unable to look away Her heart hardened, her fist clenched Her palms were already drenched in cold sweat
An ineffable light flashed through the pope's gaze when he saw Claire's expression ”Has the traitor, the fallen knight Shack, been executed?” he asked softly
”Yes… ” Leng Lingyun said slowly He sighed in his heart Naturally, he understood what the pope intended But wasn't the pope a little hurried? Was it fine for Claire to be exposed to this so soon? Wasn't it too early to test Claire's opinion of the Temple?
Peering fro saw Claire's face pale slightly ”Those who betray the Goddess of Light, betray the Teht, can only die He also eloped with the filthy wo to his sins”
Claire's gaze shi+fted to the box Leng Lingyun was holding Did the large box Leng Lingyun carrying contain the head of the fallen knight?!
Claire recognized that it must have been the two ill-fated lovers they had saved in the valley! Unfortunately, they had not escaped the clutches of the Teht How cruel, they had actually pulled out her eyes and ripped out her hair! Claire clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles whitening and cracking softly She trely pale
The Teht! The Pope! The Pope whose every as supposedly filled with virtue!
The pope strode forward indifferently He inspected the itely ”You two have done well this tiht will once again shi+ne – ”
The pope's words were cut off abruptly A terrifying power had suddenly burst forth
The pope and Liu Xiuqing turned in shock to see Claire's entire being gloith golden light, her gaze co released by Claire!
Liu Xiuqing's eyes flickered excitedly Was Claire going to attack the pope? Did she want to die? The pope stared in shock at Claire, as on the verge of exploding The at that would snap at any time! But before the pope could make a move…
”Claire!” Leng Lingyun hollered With this one yell, the atmosphere instantly dispersed
Claire calow faded Her clenched fists slowly loosened She glared coldly at every individual, then turned away and opened the door She walked out without a word and sla the room in dead silence
The three were left frozen, each with a different expression
”Your holiness, isn't Reverend's attitude crossing the line?” the Divine Princess asked Because Leng Lingyun was there, her tone was somewhat kind
The pope's eyes slitted and he reh he did not say anything, the pope understood thein his eyes
”Xueqing, youa nod ”I have a few questions for Lingyun”
