Standing at the window with no intention of leaving, Bishop Gu Yun put his hands behind his back, as if talking to himself or to Archbishop Guan Feng: "Since we brought this priest back from Skyfort, we have conducted multiple examinations on her at different levels, and the results are all normal."
"Moreover, at the beginning, Priest Mu Qing would have nightmares and visual and auditory hallucinations from time to time, but as time went by, these phenomena faded and weakened. When we started hunting down Tianyang last year, there was no abnormality at all."
Guan Feng snorted and said, "The more normal she is, the more weird she is. She was possessed by an alien god and had once 'died'. It was the power of the alien god that brought her back to life. Do you believe that she is not abnormal after dying once?"
Gu Yun lowered the curtains and shook his head, saying, "Of course not. Unfortunately, no matter what we do, no matter what means we use, we can't find any problem, any problem!"
Guan Feng sighed slightly: "Now let's see if Tianyang can inspire some changes in Mu Qing. If even he, a former parasite, can't make her change, then we can only take a more appropriate approach."
Gu Yun nodded slightly. He knew that the so-called 'proper approach' would definitely not make Mu Qing happy.
"It's weird though."
Gu Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. "As a person who is also parasitized by an alien god, how come Tianyang is not abnormal at all? His mind is very stable. And judging from his deeds, he can be angry, retaliate, and scheme. This is much more normal than Mu Qing."
"Maybe it's because of the Ascendant..."
Guan Feng looked at the ceiling of the study and said, "Didn't the report say that he used the Star Essence to force the Essence God out at that time? In other words, the Essence God probably didn't make a home in his body, so he was basically unaffected."
Gu Yun shook his head: "But this report was also written by Tianyang himself. Unfortunately, there were only him and Mu Qing involved at the time, and Mu Qing was still in a coma until he was sent out of the crack. The only reference we can have is the one-sided statement of that kid."
"I don't think it's a big problem. Even if Tianyang is parasitized, it doesn't matter. It's not like we haven't faced alien gods before."
"The key now is how much information about the Dusk Slate we can get from him."
Guan Feng said in a deep voice: "That will be related to whether our East Continent Cardinal Academy can replace the main academy and become the holy land of the Church of War!"
... ... ... .
Not knowing that he was placed with high hopes, Tianyang stepped into Mu Qing's house and found it unexpectedly simple. He heard the gurgling sound of boiling water in the kitchen and smelled a faint fragrance.
Mu Qing said softly, "I cook for myself. The food in the church is too greasy, and I like vegetarian food."
"Have you eaten yet? Do you want to try my cooking?"
Tianyang smiled and said, "I've already had dinner, so I can't eat for now. I'll try your cooking skills when I have a chance."
"Then you cook for a while. I'll go cook the rest." Mu Qing pointed to a chair next to her. "Help yourself."
Tianyang saw her walk into the kitchen and chop something on the chopping board. The rhythmic sound of the chopping board made him feel like he was back to his childhood watching his mother cook.
"Priest Mu Qing, how are you doing?" Tian Yang asked casually, picking up a photo frame that showed Mu Qing at the Cardinal's
A solo photo of the hillside outside the courtyard.
"I'm fine. Everyone is very nice to me. When I first arrived, I was not used to many things, but Bishop Gu Yun and Bishop Guan Feng both care about me."
"Oh, at that time, Lord Guan Feng hadn't even been promoted yet."
As Mu Qing answered, she poured the chopped vegetables into an iron pot beside her. The soup in the pot was already boiling, with various bones and pieces of meat turning up from time to time.
She gently stirred the soup with a spoon, scooped a little to taste it, and then threw various spices into the iron pot.
Then he continued, "As for you, I heard from Bishop Gu Yun that you participated in the expedition to the Reverse Realm. You are really amazing. If it were me, I would definitely not dare to participate in such an action."
Tian Yang smiled and shook his head, saying, "You're too kind. I was able to get to where I am today with the help of many people."
"By the way, Priest Mu Qing, did you sleep well last night?"
Mu Qing turned around curiously and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Tian Yang restrained his smile, made himself look gloomy, and deliberately said: "Since that incident, I can no longer have a good sleep like before. I always have some dreams, some weird and twisted dreams."
"Yeah?"
"Maybe you're too nervous. You should see a doctor and take some medicine to adjust your mood, just like me."
Mu Qing extinguished the fire, scooped up some soup from the stove in a bowl, carried it to the small hall, and placed it on the table. Then she took out some vegetables and rice. It seemed that her dinner consisted of only these, as simple as the life of the people living in the fortress.
"You only eat this much?" Tian Yang frowned, "You will be malnourished."
"No, I'm very healthy." Mu Qing smiled and asked, "You really don't want to have some?"
Tianyang shook his head.
Mu Qing didn't force it. She drank a mouthful of soup and ate a few bites of rice before saying, "I heard that you are already a Holy Silver Knight of our Cardinal Academy. This is far beyond my original expectation. I am very happy."
"Happy?" Tianyang was stunned, not knowing why Mu Qing was so happy about this.
Mu Qing didn't explain herself. She picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it into her mouth: "By the way, are you married?"
Tian Yang rubbed his head and said, "I guess I've started a family now. I have three girls living with me."
"We haven't had a formal wedding yet, though."
Mu Qing put down her bowl and chopsticks and said seriously, "That won't do. Starting a family is a major event in life, and a wedding is an important ceremony. How can we not have it?"
Tianyang said quickly: "When I have time, I will make up for it."
At this time, Mu Qing was distracted and whispered, "Time... Time is almost up."
Tian Yang didn't hear clearly, and asked: "Priest Mu Qing, what did you say?"
A smile appeared on Mu Qing's face: "Nothing."
Tianyang chatted with her, secretly testing her from time to time, but found nothing unusual. Mu Qing quickly finished her dinner, put the dishes away in the kitchen temporarily, and brought two cups of tea, placing one of them in front of Tianyang.
"I'm sorry, I didn't greet you well enough."
Tianyang shook his head and said, "I came at the wrong time."
Seeing that it was getting late, he drank his tea, then stood up and said, "I'll take my leave now. I'll come see you tomorrow."
"good."
Mu Qing did not keep Tianyang as guest and sent him to the door. After watching Tianyang leave, she closed the door and then became absent-minded for a while.
"The time is almost up..."
"You should know that..."
“He is coming.”
After saying that, Mu Qing suddenly smiled, and as if she had forgotten what she had just said, she quickly walked into the kitchen and started to deal with the kitchen waste.
She poured everything in the iron pot into the blender. After the remaining soup was poured out, the bones and pieces of meat were also poured out of the pot one by one. Finally, a round object slid out of the iron pot.
It was an eyeball.
Animal eyeballs...
... ... ...
The next day, Tianyang met the Cardinal Archbishop in Guan Feng's study.
Tianyang noticed that the only person he met today was Guan Feng.
"Brother Tianyang, did you sleep well last night? If you need anything, just let me know." Guan Feng said enthusiastically and personally brought Tianyang a cup of hot tea.
Tian Yang thanked him quickly and said, "I slept well. The bed in this church is much more comfortable than the tent."
Guan Feng laughed and said, "Then you might as well live here forever."
Tianyang laughed and dealt with it casually.
Guan Feng asked again: "Did you see Priest Mu Qing last night?"
Tian Yang nodded and said, "Yes, Priest Mu Qing seems to have adapted to the life in the Cardinal Court."
"Yes, she has been in the Cardinal Court for a while. How is she doing? Is she dissatisfied?" Guan Feng laughed. "You are all from the Sky Fort, so you should be able to get along with each other. Unlike us, although we have tried our best to take care of her preferences, it is difficult to guarantee that she will like it."
Tian Yang shook his head and said, "No, Priest Mu Qing is not dissatisfied at all. She said that she is living well in the Cardinals' Court and is very grateful for the help of the two bishops."
"Really?" Guan Feng's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then he said, "By the way, I took the initiative to send a batch of supplies to your Lieyang Fort. They set out when you left the Western Continent, and they should have arrived at Lieyang Fort by now."
Tian Yang was a little surprised, and then said: "Your Excellency the Archbishop, you are so polite. How can I feel embarrassed to do this? After all, I have not made any contribution to the College of Cardinals."
Guan Feng smiled and said, "The information you provided about the Dusk Slate is the greatest contribution."
"Brother Tianyang, as long as you can continue to provide information in this regard, I promise that the supplies sent to you for Lieyang Castle will not be less. I believe that you should be in great need of support at all levels now, right?"
Tianyang smiled secretly in his heart. This old man was indeed not that generous. It turned out that the supplies he sent to Lieyang Castle were used to purchase information on the Dusk Slate. However, the information on the Dusk Slate was not a cheap thing and could not be bought with one or two batches of supplies.
At that moment, Tian Yang laughed and said, "Your Excellency the Archbishop, you are thoughtful. Please rest assured that I will tell you all the information about the stone tablets I know. However, recently, in addition to supplies, I am also a little short of manpower. I wonder if the Cardinals can help me solve one or two problems in this regard?"
Guan Feng didn't change his smile on the surface, but he was cursing in his heart. However, he still said, "Then I wonder how many people you need, brother?"
