...
The night was deep.
The atmosphere of Sparrow Wood Castle, which had been in uproar all day, finally returned to peace, replaced by the gentle rustling of armor from patrolling soldiers and the crackling of bonfires from distant camps.
Carian carried a brass candlestick, slowly walking along the cold stone corridor of the castle.
The flickering candlelight illuminated her pretty face and highlighted a hint of confusion and unease deep in her clear eyes. Although the plain nun's robe covered her full figure, it couldn't conceal her anxious inner state.
She arrived at the door of a guest room, took a deep breath to calm her racing heart, and then gently knocked on the door.
Sarah, who was wiping her dagger, lifted her eyelids, then lowered her gaze again.
She actually knew who it was just by the footsteps; the earlier reaction was purely instinctive.
Luo Yan, who was ditating, did not open his eyes and casually spoke.
"Co in."
Just a mont ago, he discovered that his influence share had finally exceeded 1%, allowing him to condense a Legendary Seed.
Without hesitation, Luo Yan imdiately upgraded his Soul Level from Diamond to Grandmaster. Now his level cap had reached Level 170.
Although his level was still far from reaching the Diamond Level cap of Level 130, it didn't stop him from enjoying the "tributes" from his followers in advance.
Moreover, the Power of Faith he harvested this ti was considerable. Once back, he could consider promoting a group of Diamond Level Demon Generals.
He hoped they hadn't slacked off in cultivation during his absence; otherwise, even if he gave them the chance to upgrade, they wouldn't imdiately reach Diamond Level.
That way, it wouldn't highlight that he helped them break through their bottleneck, hampering their rembrance of the Demon King's grace.
The door opened softly, and Carian walked in from outside.
Luo Yan opened his eyes and glanced at this reverent Sister.
Perhaps due to the faith gathered on her from the masses, or perhaps because her aura shifted with her position, he could clearly feel that this girl, once helplessly wandering in the snow, able only to curse the injustice of fate, was now entirely transford.
Both her bearing.
And her appearance.
The flickering candlelight cast a faint holy glow over her profile, as though she truly served the Divine.
Perhaps even her kin from the past might not recognize her now.
"Mr. Colin, I apologize for disturbing you at such a late hour," Carian placed the candlestick on the table, made a sowhat uneasy bow, and softly said, "I just wanted to ask if you are comfortable staying here? The castle is modest, so if there's anything inconvenient, please let know, I'd be more than happy to assist you."
Her words carried sincere reverence and respect, along with a subtle hint of admiration… which could also be interpreted as trust.
Luo Yan discerned the insincerity in her words, his all-seeing eyes hinting at a smile, and he spoke in a congenial tone.
"I'm quite well, the conditions here are far better than the hardships of travel. It looks like you have a lot on your mind. Is there sothing troubling you?"
Seeing through her concerns, Carian's cheeks blushed slightly. After a brief silence, she nodded gently and began to share her worries.
"According to your instructions, we've guided the lost lambs back to the right path, and as you hoped, we've fulfilled the three wishes they made. However… they seem to have developed a reliance on our help, unwilling to let us leave them now."
Having said that, she looked up, her gaze devoutly fixed on Colin, and said earnestly.
"I implore you to guide once more, tell … what should I do next?"
Unlike her poised deanor in front of the followers, only before the Divine she served could she reveal her inner bewildernt.
Luo Yan patiently listened to her confusion, then after a brief contemplation, responded.
"Isn't that quite alright?"
Carian was slightly taken aback.
"Alright aning…" she mumbled.
Observing her perplexed expression, Luo Yan chuckled lightly and explained in a gentle tone.
"I never said I would take you away after fulfilling their wishes. If they regard you as their Holy Daughter, wanting to perpetuate the Salvation Army's will, then simply continue playing the role of the Holy Daughter faithfully."
Not expecting Mr. Colin to say such words, Carian found herself a bit at a loss, especially when he ntioned he hadn't intended to take her away.
"But… but I have no idea where to lead them! I'm worried I might lead them into another Abyss—"
Luo Yan interrupted her confusion, speaking patiently.
"I must tell you, even the Divine cannot know what the future holds. What I can see are only the possibilities after nurous choices. Ultimately, the path for the future must be decided by people. You must learn to listen to your inner voice, to do what you believe is right."
