After removing her make-up, Tisdale had reverted to her usual secretarial self. She listened to Baiyi's story quietly and nodded, committing everything to memory. It was as if the rebellious make-up she had put on was just a misunderstanding.
'Tisdale is much more obedient this way …' Baiyi sighed. "I'm done here, but don't stay out too late. You all have to work tomorrow."
"Okay, but Teacher, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you in private." Tisdale said as she stood up and walked to the balcony outside the living room. Her slender fingers fiddled with a few pots of flowers and plants on the windowsill. Those were the plants that Mia had planted herself, imitating Baiyi's style. Her main purpose was to keep them for emergencies. She was waiting for Baiyi to accidentally kill the flowers and plants so that she could give him a pot of her own plants.
"Do you want to talk about Laeticia?" Baiyi asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Teacher. I've been with her for the past few days, but I haven't found the right time to talk about it." Tisdale's face was filled with worry, and she accidentally pinched a leaf off her hand.
"Perhaps you'd be more suitable, Teacher? She might be Uncle Joel's student, but you're the one she respects the most, right? "Tisdale asked.
What they were worried about was Laeticia's stance on the Church's decision. She had accepted the existence of the Voidwalkers, and she had become the student of someone who was considered evil and chaotic even among the Voidwalkers. Her state of faith should be more subtle, but no one could tell what would happen to her if she completely broke off from the Church.
Furthermore, she was now the Church's official Saintess at Da Xue. She was the symbol and representative of the Church at Da Xue. These were all arrangements that the Pacifists had made to stabilize the relationship between the Church and the Church. Now that the Church was about to be reshuffled, the Saintess would probably become a Fallen Saintess, just like the Shadow.
Take note, it's only the fallen saintess. It's not what some people think.
The news of Baiyi's declaration of war against the Church had yet to spread, so only a handful of well-informed people knew about it. Laeticia, on the other hand, was a naïve country girl who did not think much about such things. That was why, when Tisdale and Baiyi parted ways, Tisdale had been tasked with explaining the situation to Laeticia and consoling her.
To be honest, Baiyi did not care what the Church would do to her. They would not barge into Da Xue, capture her, and burn her at the stake. If that happened, Saint Joel, who had been worshipped by the Church for two thousand years, would be the first to jump out and fight the Church.
What worried Baiyi the most was whether or not she would be able to take it, and whether or not her faith would crumble. He thought about the faces of those who had lost their faith in the Void. If that happened to Laeticia, he could not bear to look at it. She might really become a depraved saintess. Even if it was not that serious, it would still be very dangerous for her to be corrupted mentally.
'Wait a minute. Dark mentality or something? Maybe it's better than I thought?'
All in all, Baiyi did not want to take the risk. He still hoped that someone would talk to her so that she could be prepared in advance, just in case something bad happened. Now that she had just obtained a little girl that she had cheated, if she could talk to her properly, perhaps the impact would not be too great.
It was just that Baiyi did not really know how to counsel others. Usually, when it came to making girls happy, he would announce that he had no homework for the day, buy them new clothes and desserts, and then he would rub his cheeks and play with them. In terms of counseling, he really lacked the relevant experience, especially when it came to this kind of complicated situation that contradicted his position. Even the Fifth Walker was at a loss as to what to do, so he could only leave it to Tisdale.
However, Tisdale had said that she could not think of any good ideas, and this kind of thing could not be forced. Baiyi was in a dilemma. What should he do? Should he really ask the Voidwalkers to help?
In theory, there were two Voidwalkers who could solve this problem. One of them was Laeticia's teacher, the Cleric Walker. However, considering the Cleric Walker's attributes, the Cleric Walker would only worsen the situation. The other Voidwalker was the Shadow Walker, who had similar experience. However, when Baiyi thought about the Shadow Walker's resentful expression in the Void, he could not help but think that the Shadow Walker might actually turn the little village girl into a dark one.
Baiyi was left with one last option. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Think of a way to talk to Santa about this. Maybe she can be a breakthrough."
"Huh? She's just a kid. Is it really okay for her to handle this kind of thing? "Tisdale was surprised by Baiyi's sudden idea.
"Don't underestimate her. She's also a very thoughtful person," Baiyi said. "Maybe it's better to leave it to a kid if the adults don't know how to handle it. Look, aren't those who can pilot giant robots to save the world just kids? "
Tisdale did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright, then. I'll find a chance to talk to Santa about this."
"Hmm. Let's leave it at that until we come up with a better idea. Actually, there's no need to rush. Theoretically speaking, this kind of news won't spread, and the Church won't start a war with us anytime soon. We still have some time," Baiyi said. "Alright. Get some rest."
"Okay. Goodnight, Teacher …" Tisdale replied obediently. Before Baiyi hung up, she asked in a small voice, "Teacher … When can I start calling you daddy?"
Baiyi was taken aback by the question. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he replied, "Well, it's just a title, isn't it? If you really care about it, wait until the day I can hug you with my warm body. "
"Is that the day you successfully escaped from the Void? Alright, I understand. I'm sure that day will come. "Tisdale smiled in satisfaction and ended the call.
Baiyi mulled over his eldest daughter's words and shook his head helplessly. He picked up an Advanced Mathematics textbook from the table and began to repay the debt he had incurred during his university days. Advanced Mathematics was the subject that had caused the most deaths, so Baiyi had a share of it.
Baiyi had not been reading for long when he heard a knock on the door. He hurried to open the door and was greeted by the sight of Lady Assassin Walker, who had a silly smile on her face.
"Huh? It's your turn today? "Baiyi asked curiously.
"No, it's not me. I know I came out earlier to keep you company, you idiot, but this time, I'm just helping you out. Someone is shy, so I'm sorry, but she needs my help." Lady Assassin Walker stuck her tongue out at him regretfully and waved goodbye. In an instant, the cute, bubbly Lady Assassin Walker had transformed into the cold, elegant Warrior Walker.
"Hmph, you're talking nonsense again," the Warrior Walker snorted, as if she was complaining about Lady Assassin Walker, who had just helped her out.
"What's wrong?" Baiyi asked.
"It's nothing … I just couldn't sleep," the Warrior Walker replied in a voice as low as a mosquito's, turning her pretty face to the side.
Baiyi had wanted to mock her. 'You're just a special suit of armor, the kind that can transform. Do you really think you're a girl?' However, he knew that he would be done for if he said that out loud, so he quickly opened the door and let her in, saving himself the trouble of going through 'bad end' in one go.
"Well, I'm reading downstairs. Do you want to join me?" Baiyi asked. Although it seemed stupid to invite a girl to his room in the middle of the night to read with him, he was limited by his body, so he could not do anything that wasn't stupid. Besides, wasn't it supposed to be a very elegant and charming thing to do?
The Warrior Walker did not seem to have any plans of her own. She did not seem to have any ulterior motives for coming to him. She just wanted to see him. Baiyi nodded, and the two of them went down to the basement.
Baiyi continued to flip through the Advanced Mathematics textbook and introduced it to the Warrior Walker, "Mathematics is the foundation of all science and technology. It's one of the most important subjects …"
The Warrior had no interest in this kind of academic topic, but she didn't stop him. She just let him talk according to his temper. She just looked at him affectionately with her gem-like black eyes. As she looked at him, she took the initiative to lean on him and rubbed her chin on his chest.
"Uh …" Baiyi felt a little awkward at being interrupted.
"It's nothing. Just mind your own business," the Warrior Walker said in a low voice, but she had no intention of moving away.
"Alright then …" Baiyi said helplessly. He used his mana to weave a bed so that the two of them could lie in midair. He continued to study his Advanced Mathematics textbook, and the Warrior Walker continued to stick to him in silence. From time to time, she would draw circles on his chest, as if she was trying to seduce him.
But what good would it do if he wanted to? Nothing happened that night, and there was nothing they could do. One of them read, and the other accompanied the Warrior Walker for the rest of the night. The next day, when the Engineer Walker contacted him, they were forced to part ways.
"Hello? zaima？” The Engineer Walker asked. "We've made some preliminary prototypes based on the technology you've brought back. Are you free? Do you want to come and take a look? "
"Already?" Baiyi asked, surprised.
"Of course. Who do you think I am?" The Engineer Walker replied in a childish tone.
"Alright, I'll be there in a bit," Baiyi said, and hung up. He turned to the Warrior Walker and asked, "Are you coming?"
The Warrior Walker shook her head. "I'm going to teach the Northerners today."
