Chapter 973

Her dark brown hair fell to her waist, not a single strand of it was messy, silky smooth and shiny like satin. Her fair and refined side profile wasn't completely sharpened like a melon seed. Instead, it was plump and full of elasticity, which made her originally gentle appearance look even more amiable.

When she smiled, her round, pink lips would always form a shallow arc with her plump cheeks. Even though her expression rarely changed drastically, she still looked not as rigid as a statue. She had wisdom and reserved elegance, and did not lose the vigor and charm of a young woman!

Mo Fan stood there in a daze.

He immediately recognized the woman when he first saw her. It was not because she was so eye-catching, but because he was too familiar with her. It felt like he did not have to feel happy for her. He could feel a warmth flowing from the bottom of his heart to his entire body.

However, Mo Fan had a feeling that the girl in front of him was no longer the girl he was familiar with. Her untainted holiness and noble temperament made it difficult for Mo Fan to associate her with the lonely, strong, and simple girl next door!

It was Xinxia!

But was that really Xinxia?

It had only been less than a year since they parted, yet she had changed so much. She was no longer as weak and fragile as she used to be. Nor was there any trace of inferiority and simplicity that came from a poor family. If he wasn't the person closest to her, if he hadn't met her before, he would definitely think that she came from an extremely good family. That innate temperament and the elegance and nobility that she had cultivated were all present on her. She didn't do it on purpose, but she was still as radiant as ever!

Mo Fan was stunned for a very, very long time. He had yet to recover from his shock.

"Ningxue? Why are you here!? "she blurted out in surprise.

Mu Ningxue was also looking at her in astonishment.

"Xinxia?" Mu Ningxue's reaction was similar to Mo Fan's. She only realized the Healer that everyone was talking about was Ye Xinxia when she came closer.

"Mo … Brother Mo Fan!" Xinxia suddenly noticed that Mo Fan was further behind her. He was standing there like a block of wood, but his eyes were staring at her. It was obvious that he had been staring at her for a long time.

A picturesque smile immediately appeared on Xinxia's fair and rosy cheeks. The joy that came from the bottom of her heart made her cheeks even redder, making her look even more delicate and alluring.

If it was possible, she wanted to run toward Mo Fan and lean against his chest, but she could not do it. She placed her hands on the side of the wheelchair and held them tightly. Her glittering eyes were filled with endless anticipation and joy.

She never thought they would meet again here!

Mo Fan was overwhelmed by a sense of familiarity when he saw Xinxia's reaction.

It was still her, the Xinxia that he loved the most.

Come to think of it, Xinxia had always maintained her unique charm and temperament. She was always like that when she was with other people, but when she was with Mo Fan, she would turn into a little girl who did not know how to think, who needed to be protected and accounted for. It was not that she was trying to act like that, but she would subconsciously reveal her most innocent and reliant side in front of the people closest to her.

Mo Fan walked up to her and slowly bent down. He planted a kiss on her smooth forehead in front of the crowd!

"What are you doing? How can you be so disrespectful? Do you know the punishment for offending a servant of the Hall of the Goddess!?" the male assistant yelled into Mo Fan's ear.

Mo Fan raised his head and looked at the man with a statue-like face. He snapped impatiently, "I'm kissing my woman, it's none of your business!"

"Your woman? Damn it, I, Knight Kulun of the Parthenon Temple, will not allow you to humiliate the servant of the Hall of the Goddess that I swear my loyalty to. I will duel you now! "the male assistant who called himself Kulun yelled.

Mo Fan stared at the man who was speaking in the language of the Western Knights. He could only think of one word: Idiot!

"Kulun, please don't be so sensitive. He's my brother, I've mentioned him to you before," Xinxia quickly explained in a soft voice.

Xinxia was well aware of Mo Fan's personality. There was no way he would explain things to her. He would only make things more complicated and troublesome.

"Brother?" Kulun was still looking at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan still had the same expression as before, as if he was a pervert. Kulun was struggling to connect him to Xinxia's gentle demeanor. Was there really such a huge difference in personality between siblings? The guy in front of him was obviously a lowly commoner. He was the kind that would act recklessly if he did not teach him a lesson!

"If you're really her brother, I'll apologize, but as her brother, you shouldn't joke around like that. A sister is a sister, you should keep your distance from your woman. Otherwise, there might be a misunderstanding," Kulun stared at Mo Fan cautiously.

"You've misunderstood. She's my sister, and my woman," Mo Fan replied seriously.

Kulun was infuriated. Was this guy out of his mind? Didn't he know that the servants of the Sacred Ground were supposed to be respectful? How could he keep saying such despicable things? His sister, and his woman? Didn't that mean he was going to …?

Xinxia already knew it would turn out like this, yet she had no idea what to say in the situation. She was not good at persuading Mo Fan, especially when he was trying to stir up trouble. She could only look at Mu Ningxue for help.

"Let's go to the side and have a chat. Let them quarrel," Mu Ningxue was straightforward. She held Xinxia's wheelchair and slowly pushed her to the side.

Nanrong Ni came over too. She first looked at Mu Ningxue, before looking at Xinxia.

"Are you really from the Hall of the Goddess of the Parthenon Temple?" Nanrong Ni asked in a serious tone.

"I'll only be considered an official member after the practical training. I'm only an intern for now," Xinxia replied. She did not sound proud at all.

"Oh, I see …" Nanrong Ni responded, but it was obvious that she was a little distracted.

Mu Ningxue did not pay too much attention to it. She asked Xinxia why she was here.

It was too unbelievable to say that it was a coincidence!

"It's an internship. The students of the Parthenon Temple College have entered the annual examination. Every student, including foreign students, is required to take part in it. Only after I've completed my studies can I officially join the Parthenon Temple and become a Temple Mage. Not long ago, there was a mirage here. The people of Egypt kept fighting against the undead, so the people of the Parthenon Temple College were sent here to help those who were injured by the undead, "Xinxia said.

"What a coincidence, our national team was sent here too. I believe there are people from other schools in Egypt too, but I didn't expect us to be in the same city," Mu Ningxue said.

It had been a long time since Mu Ningxue had last seen Xinxia. The two had known each other since they were young, and had grown up together. It did not really have anything to do with Mo Fan. Mu Ningxue had been inseparable from Xinxia since they were young, so a shameless man had taken advantage of her and almost kidnapped her.

On the other hand, after Xinxia left, Mo Fan and the guy called Kulun were no longer arguing.

The argument between the two was actually very simple. As soon as Mo Fan saw that Xinxia had such a menacing looking man by her side, his entire body felt uncomfortable.

Who was that b * tch? He was surely up to no good since he was following Xinxia!

Kulun was extremely displeased, too. Someone had blasphemed the goddess he was sworn to protect. How could he live up to his name as a knight of the Parthenon Temple if he did not chop him into pieces?

…

"Brother Mo Fan, Kulun is only a knight of the Hall of Guards of the Parthenon Temple. In the Parthenon Temple, every member of the Hall of the Goddess is assigned a knight to protect them. Kulun is only fulfilling his duty as a knight. You shouldn't trouble him any further. "Xinxia was amused when she saw Mo Fan's displeased look.

Mo Fan was supposed to be a cunning and shrewd man, yet why was he so straightforward when he was jealous? He was as alert and sensitive as a little kid, and would never stop being like that.

"I didn't trouble him, he's the one who didn't know what was going on. I already told him about our relationship, but he kept saying I was talking nonsense. He even said he was going to punish me. Is the Parthenon Temple full of idiots like him? Do you seriously think a knight like him cares if the ladies of the Parthenon Temple are dating or not!?" Mo Fan said angrily.

"The Parthenon Temple doesn't forbid that."

"Don't look for a random guy like him next time. He's obviously not a good guy," Mo Fan said.

"It's the temple's arrangement. If you don't like him, I'll ask for a replacement," Xinxia said.

"Are there any female knights?" Mo Fan asked.

"…"

As she thought, Mo Fan was not displeased with Kulun at all. The main reason was that Mo Fan did not want any man who looked like his rival to show up in front of him!

"Miss Xinxia, a man whose abdomen was slashed open has been brought here. Please save him. He only ended up like this because he was trying to lure the Dead Servants away," a rescuer came up to Xinxia and said, his forehead covered in sweat.

Xinxia glanced at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan glanced at the bed inside the white tent and saw a man in his thirties bleeding profusely. It looked like he was going to die at any second.

"I'll go with you," Mo Fan pushed Xinxia toward the tent.

Mo Fan wanted to have a long talk with Xinxia. After all, it had been a long time since they last met. Phone calls and video calls were only a form of consolation.
