The three of them walked to a more secluded street, and a cloaked man appeared in their line of sight. When Joanna saw the cloaked man, her face was overflowing with joy. She no longer had the indifference she had when she faced Paul, and she walked briskly towards him.
Even though the cloaked man was well hidden, Chen Rui could still recognize him at a glance. It was Samuel.
Samuel caught a glimpse of Chen Rui from the corner of his eye, and he seemed slightly surprised, but Joanna quickly took his hand and left.
To prevent Eliza from getting suspicious, Chen Rui deliberately asked hesitantly, "That person …"
"Remember your vow just now!" Eliza glared at Chen Rui fiercely, "scaring" him back into his words.
"Miss Eliza, what do we do now?"
"Let's wait here first, Joanna probably won't …" Eliza thought for a moment, and suddenly blushed, showing a curious look, "Say, what do you think they will do when they are together?"
Chen Rui secretly rolled his eyes. It seemed that Eliza was also in the know. However, the stubborn Samuel had already made up his mind to defeat Paul fair and square, so the chances of him eloping with Joanna was very small.
However, the young couple was in a passionate relationship, and now that they had reunited after a long time, it was not surprising that they would get a room on a whim, and study Sutra of Mistress Su and the like. However, he definitely could not say this to Eliza.
"I think Miss Joanna must be discussing some meaningful issues with that friend, such as life ideals and so on …" Chen Rui added in his heart, while also discussing the structure of the human body.
"Richard, you really are an interesting guy." Eliza burst out laughing, "Why don't you tell me about your adventure with the Soul Word."
Chen Rui knew he could not avoid this, so he could only tell her. He had many stories in his head, so he could just randomly pick one. However, out of caution, the plot of this story was still quite complete. The climax was when he saved an Elven girl in a critical moment. After several twists and turns, the Elven girl used a special inheritance method to pass the power of the Soul Whisper to the male protagonist when her life was in danger.
Due to the difference in power and race, the male pig feet could only unleash a small portion of the Mind Word's power, which was incomparable to a real elf. However, the male pig feet took a different approach and used the Mind Word to research and develop his own special beast-taming technique.
"Inheritance? So that's how it is … "Eliza's eyes widened as she added," That Elven girl … Is she beautiful? "
Chen Rui nodded and quickly added, "Of course, compared to Miss Eliza's beauty, there is still a gap."
"Is that so? Are you saying I'm more beautiful than an elf? " Eliza held her face excitedly and continued to ask about female elves. Chen Rui could not resist anymore when he saw Joanna's figure appearing in front of him. She was walking toward him alone, and Samuel was not by her side.
"Wait for me at the street corner!" Eliza threw a sentence at Chen Rui and walked toward Joanna.
Eliza walked forward and held her good friend's arm. She pulled her to the side and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"
Joanna's eyes seemed to be a little red, but she was in good spirits. She replied softly, "I'm fine. I'll return to the Long Huang Empire after you finish your business here."
Eliza was startled, "Why? Don't you want to …"
"He said he wants to marry me openly. He has already sent a letter to Rex The Great through the family. He will fight it out with Paul when he returns." Joanna shook her head with a determined look in her eyes, "I believe him. No matter what happens, I will face it together with him."
Eliza was stunned for a moment, but she soon revealed a bright smile, "Don't worry, he will definitely succeed."
Joanna held her friend's hand and nodded. …
At dusk, Chen Rui led the two girls back to the Radiant Church. Solanton and Fatty received the news and came to welcome them at the gates.
"Lord Solanton, Garton City's scenery is quite enchanting. I had a pleasant afternoon. If possible, I hope to have Richard as my guide for the next few days."
"Of course, it would be an honour for both of us." Solanton had been worried that Chen Rui would not be able to serve this young lady well, but hearing Eliza's words immediately made him overjoyed.
"Erm … Lord Mana, you were the one who discovered Richard, weren't you? You have great foresight," Eliza smiled sweetly, adding, "Also, thank you for the small gift."
"T-T-This … It's also my honour." Mana was so excited that he was almost incoherent. He lowered his head and bowed deeply, a smile blossoming on his chubby face. Richard had truly been the right choice to work with him.
"Alright," Eliza stretched lazily, "Lord Solanton, I only came to Garton City to relax. There's no need for any social engagements. I've been walking around all afternoon, I'm very tired. I'm going to rest for a while."
Eliza and Joanna went to their rooms to rest, while Chen Rui ate something casually and went to the prayer hall. He had been busy the entire day and hadn't had the chance to greet the God of Light yet.
Be it in quantity or quality, Garton City's power of faith far surpassed that of Gudan Town. Chen Rui would not be able to drain it all in one or two tries, and there were many people in the church. Just in case, he would choose to 'commit crimes' when there was no one around or in the dead of night. However, at this rate, the power of faith in the Statue of Light in Garton City would be almost depleted after two or three more times. It would take at least a few months for it to recover to its original state.
The Shura had absorbed a considerable amount of faith. This incarnation was mysterious and unfathomable, like a bottomless pit. It would not be filled because of this, but it would take a lot of time to convert so much faith power into faith crystals.
There were many more life planets in the Super System compared to when he had evolved to 5 stars. As the scale of the Pillar of Faith expanded, the power of faith grew rapidly, and was converted into faith crystals through the Tower of Faith.
There were more than 6,000 left after the 6-star evolution, then he got 8,000 from Gudan Town. Coupled with the system growth and digesting part of the number in Garton City, Chen Rui's faith crystals had accumulated to 30,000. It was estimated that after the conversion of the power of faith in Garton City was completed, the total number should exceed 100,000.
Compared with the past, this speed was already quite fast, but Chen Rui felt that it was still not enough. If he went to a big place like Yangshao Kingdom or the Long Huang Empire, the speed should be doubled again. Then, it would not be a problem to gather one million faith crystals and rush back before the [Light Annihilation Seal] on Isabella exploded. The key now was the Snow Dallet.
Chen Rui was already a Knight of Light candidate, but only after entering this circle did he know that the Knight of Light was actually the low-level thugs of the church. Now, due to the selection of the Temple Knights, White Cliff was closed. With the identity of a low-level thug like Chen Rui, he was still not qualified to enter. At least, he had to be an intermediate thug like the Knight of Light leader. With his qualifications, it was impossible for him to directly become a Knight of Light leader. The only way was to use the identity of a Knight of Light candidate to become a follower of a Temple Knight and enter with the "Lord".
It would take a lot of time to find a Temple Knight to "serve" at the last minute. Fortunately, someone had already sent himself to the door. Although he was not a Temple Knight, he was qualified to participate in the selection of the Temple Knights this time. That was "Tall, Rich and Handsome" Paul.
Chen Rui was "resting" in the prayer hall (using the power of Shura to steal faith) while thinking. When the "resting" was almost done, he already had a rough plan in his mind.
When he walked out of the prayer hall, it was already late at night. Chen Rui looked up at the night sky with a bright moon and sparse stars, and walked straight to the back. The VIP building behind the garden square was Paul's residence.
However, when he just walked into the garden square, his ears suddenly twitched. His body swayed and disappeared into the night.
The reason why Chen Rui activated [Stealth] was because he heard a voice. Although the source of the voice was far away and seemed weak, it couldn't hide from his hearing. What interested him in particular was that the voices of both sides of the conversation were familiar!
In a corner of the garden square, two figures were standing in front of a tree. With the help of the moonlight, one could clearly see that one of them was a petite female figure, it was Eliza, and the other was a tall figure, it was not her good friend Joanna, it was Paul!
Chen Rui frowned. These two people, meeting at this time, what …
Eliza flicked her curly hair in the wind and said, "What? You don't believe what I just said? Or you don't want to face the reality? "
Paul became silent and did not say anything.
"The fiancée made an appointment with the mysterious man and will return in a few hours. Don't you want to know what they are doing?" Eliza let out a light laugh. She was confident that she had a strong mind and knew everything around her, so she was not afraid of someone eavesdropping.
A murderous look flashed in Paul's eyes and he clenched his fists tightly.
"If I say that Joanna came to Garton City with me this time to see this man, and even wanted to leave everything behind to leave with this man, would you believe me?"
With a crack, the sturdy stone slab under Paul's feet suddenly cracked. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Aren't you her best friend? Why are you telling me this? "
"I just feel unworthy for you, or perhaps I don't want to see a future Temple Knight be humiliated." Eliza pursed her lips and smiled. "Actually, you have already guessed who that man is, haven't you? Then do you know that a duel is waiting for you? I believe that His Majesty Rex, who likes to play with the balance, will be happy to see this show. "
"Just because of that loser?" Paul sneered disdainfully. "If I can defeat him once, I can defeat him a second and a third time. Even if he has reached the Saint level, he is still no match for me!"
"Even if you marry Joanna, her heart will still not be with you." Eliza shook her head. "Perhaps you can use the duel to kill that love rival, but Joanna will hate you for the rest of her life. If you don't kill him, she will not give up on that man. So, no matter if you win or lose, you will still be a loser."
Paul snorted coldly. He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white. What Eliza said was the truth.
"You want to marry Joanna, other than her beauty, it is more for your family's ambition." Eliza took a few steps forward and stood in front of Paul. "Tell me, who is more beautiful, me or Joanna?"
Paul glanced at Eliza and frowned. He gave an answer. "You."
After saying this, Paul turned around and strode away. He quickly left the square garden.
"What a hypocritical guy." Looking at his back disappearing into the night, Eliza's lips curled into a smile that was completely opposite to her pure appearance. "But, he is a good toy, isn't he?"
