Chapter 763: Chapter 216: Quenching Road Fading Candle (Request for Monthly Votes)
"Who?"
Upon hearing the noise, both of them were startled.
This person had actually managed to sneak in silently.
Bai Sanxiang, as if facing a great enemy, slammed the table and stood up.
But Xu Shu recognized a familiar sound in the voice.
He turned and indeed saw a young female Bodhisattva standing in the hall, dressed in a white monk’s robe, her appearance dusty yet ethereal, handsome, and her figure graceful.
"It’s been a while, Master Wuxin!"
Xu Shu’s eyes shifted, and his face immediately showed "joy" as he called out, while stealthily grabbing Bai Sanxiang, who wanted to make a move.
The one who appeared here was none other than an old acquaintance he had met in the Ksitigarbha illusion, a member of the Star Group, Wuxin!
That was why Xu Shu quickly stopped Bai Sanxiang, preventing him from rashly making a move.
Wuxin’s strength was formidable, having once lightly repelled Earl Lance, who was at the third-tier peak.
Although Bai Sanxiang’s strength might also be at the Third Rank Late Stage, he had been seriously injured and likely was no match for Wuxin, and a rash battle would mean life or death was unpredictable.
"Do you know her?" Bai Sanxiang looked at Xu Shu warily.
Xu Shu’s eyebrows twitched slightly in a hint, then he promptly said, "Master Wuxin is a close and dear friend of mine, a Quenching Road Traveler from the Star Group, an Esoteric Buddhism Tutor of the Third Realm. We had a chance meeting in the Wasteland, and we got along quite well. I had a third-tier peak other-species enemy back then, and she saved me."
In a few words, he thoroughly explained Wuxin’s background.
Bai Sanxiang immediately understood; Xu Shu was telling me not to be impulsive, as the opponent is very strong!
However, Xu Shu was not as calm inside as he appeared.
Why did Wuxin appear?
Could she also be with the Jianqi Sect?
However, the Destroyer and the Jianqi Sect were related, and as another branch of the Star Group, it was unlikely that Quenching Road Traveler and Destroyer would cooperate...
Before he could finish his thought, he saw Wuxin place her palms together, smiling as she greeted, "Comrade Xu Shu, as a believer of my lord, why do you speak so formally? Have you forgotten the fellowship we shared in the same journey? It really disheartens me."
Xu Shu’s mouth twitched, "Don’t talk nonsense, you make it sound like there is some unspeakable man-woman relationship between us! Director Bai, don’t listen to her nonsense; we are just very normal friends."
"...Uh."
Bai Sanxiang nodded, expressionless, but silently moved two meters away from Xu Shu.
After a moment of silence, he pondered aloud, "Your Excellency, what brings you here?"
Wearing a light smile, Wuxin pointed at Xu Shu and said, "I am here to help my dearest comrade."
After a pause, she added, "I sensed a divine revelation, knowing that there is trouble here! Director Bai, perhaps you should thank Comrade Xu Shu. Do you know why he was born in D8B3 District? Because he is a follower of my lord, and he came with a mission to bring salvation to everyone.
"Although there are few believers of my lord here, my lord does not ignore the ignorance of the people and endure seeing the masses in misery, thus he sent me to lend you a helping hand!
"I come bearing a divine oracle, bringing the light of the lord to rescue you from suffering!"
Wuxin spoke eloquently with varying emphases, her attitude extremely devout.
Bai Sanxiang’s mouth twitched slightly again.
He walked back to Xu Shu’s side, patted Xu Shu’s shoulder, giving him a "child, you have suffered" look.
He completely understood now; this nun was simply a pure Esoteric believer, who saw the great disaster in D8B3 District and thought of coming to evangelize.
This perfectly matched the stereotype of an Esoteric believer!
And she was bold beyond measure, coming directly to him—did she intend to make the Star Group the official religion of this place through the Supervision Bureau?
Bai Sanxiang internally almost laughed; his fingers subtly twitched, pressing a wireless communicator in his pocket, ready to call for backup—this was the frontline headquarters, and with just one order, it would be difficult for this Esoteric believer to escape!
However, Xu Shu saw things differently.
He knew Wuxin’s capabilities and knew that although she was indeed a devout fanatic, she was not the type to preach to everyone—on this point, she was even less eager than Archbishop Yu Mingluan to spread the doctrine to strangers.
Moreover, Xu Shu was very aware that Wuxin, or rather the organization behind her, "Quenching Road Traveler" of the Star Group, had considerable amounts of extremely covert knowledge.
Perhaps she could truly be of help...
Xu Shu thought for a moment and decided to clarify, "Comrade Wuxin, you said you came to help me...do you know what I want to do?"
"Of course, Comrade Xu Shu, please remember that the lord is always with you. Whatever you are thinking, the lord knows, and he has responded to your prayers. That’s why I have come, bringing the hopes of the entire city."
Wuxin continued, looking around, "You want to carry out a great migration, taking this safe zone and even everyone on the entire Wasteland across the wilderness to the border of the neighboring safe zone."
She actually knew Xu Shu and Bai Sanxiang’s plan!
But Xu Shu wasn’t surprised at all.
She might have been spying nearby for who knows how long, and they had just been conspiring loudly, most likely all heard by her.
"Be aware, the wilderness is rife with monsters and demons, and it is extremely difficult for mere flesh to cross. It’s likely a life and death situation," Wuxin said.
"Do you have a way to solve this problem?"
Xu Shu and Bai Sanxiang both perked up their ears.
What Wuxin said was exactly the key concern they had just discussed.
