C26 (1/2)

After eating and drinking to my heart's content, I began to clean up the table, feeling that this was the kind of life that people lived. However, Xia Mingyuan's next sentence scared me so much that I almost threw my plate.

”Xiao Yin, later you can go to my room and take the books I picked up and bring them to your room to read. It's best if you memorize them all, I'll look them up every now and then.” Also, don't call me master from now on. ”

I was so shocked that I immediately stood up straight and looked at Xia Mingyuan nervously, not understanding what he meant.

The first line is still teaching me magic techniques, but the next line is going to be to cut off the relationship between master and disciple?

Xia Ming saw that she didn't understand what he meant, so he explained it all to me.

”Now that I have used my true appearance, you naturally cannot call me master. You just call me senior brother to prevent others from being suspicious. I have already informed Captain Long that Master has gone to do some work, do you understand? ”

I let out a long breath, nodded to show I understood, and took the bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen.

After Xia Mingyuan returned to his room, he took out the Jade Glaze Kirin Sovereign and called out, ”Su Huan Yarn!”

Su Huaisha had just calmed down from her excitement when she heard someone calling for her.

”What is it?”

”Why are we collecting prayers?”

There was a reason why Xia Mingyuan asked this question. Every wandering soul relied on the power of prayer to survive in this world. Taking the power of prayer was equivalent to taking away their last thoughts and lives, so very few ghosts would take the initiative to take it out.

Su Huaisha didn't know how to reply when she heard his words. She was afraid that very few people in this world could understand what he was thinking.

”It's because of a person. You know my name, so naturally, you know who that person is.”

Seeing how cooperative she was, Xia Ming temporarily put aside his prejudice and calmly replied …

”Xia Yian!”

”Yes, because of Yien. He is the Lord Priest, and when I first entered the Priest's manor, he told me about the wandering souls and the power of prayer. ”

”At that time, he really hoped that he could help these wandering souls fulfill their wish and give them a new life, instead of indulging in endless oblivion.”

Su Huaisha thought of the person who had told her about this dream. The corners of her mouth slightly raised.

He was sitting at his desk by the window, a book in his hand, and the reflection of the sun made it hard for her to see him, so that if she spoke from his mouth, it would be as if the light of hope shone on him.

Su Huaisha was crazily drowning in her memories and didn't want to wake up. She only wanted to be the young miss that sat beside him and scoffed at all the books.

”What do you do? After getting those prayers. ”

Xia Mingyuan's cold voice finally brought her thoughts back to her. Su Huaisha was a bit unhappy, but she still patiently answered him.

”I used the power of the River of Forgetfulness to attract them and signed a contract with them. They signed a nine-point prayer offering, and then I used this prayer offering and my own strength to fulfill their wishes for them. When they saw that their wishes had been fulfilled, that bit of prayer power they had left disappeared and was sent to the underworld. These nine portions of prayer power are under my care. ”

This was exactly what Xia Mingyuan had guessed, as expected, only the power of the contract was able to preserve the power of prayer.

”How many wishes have you accomplished, how many prayers?”

The thought of being cheated out of the prayer was a bit depressing. If the lord priest was here, who knew how much trouble she would have caused him.

”A total of 8100 prayers, I...” Nine hundred wishes have been fulfilled. ”

When Xia Mingyuan heard this terrifying number, he looked at Su Huayan in surprise, then lowered his eyes and stopped speaking.

This was no longer the aloof and haughty young lady of the Su Clan, but rather an infatuated girl who still wanted to fulfill her lover's dream even after being expelled by her clan.
