"How did this young lady from a prominent family and a wealthy family manage to win over that little nun from a remote village?"

As Akzan spoke, he leisurely held a cup of steaming water, and his soaked clothes slowly evaporated under the heat he emitted.

The three of them had found a restaurant and chose a quiet private room to sit in.

The reason for choosing a private room was, firstly, to avoid external interference, and secondly, to avoid affecting Akcan's performance.

"I'm not!"

Theresa slammed her hand on the table, obviously expressing her extreme dissatisfaction with what Akjan had just said.

I have to admit that she is much more beautiful now than before. Perhaps this is inseparable from Xuelian's careful management of her healthy lifestyle and reasonable diet.

"Yeah, yeah! Look at it now, a combination of a brainless and unhappy person, it's really interesting!"

As he spoke, Akzhan took the plate from the waiter and placed it steadily in front of the two people opposite him.

The plate was filled with attractively colored and fragrant pieces of meat, which were still sizzling and emitting wisps of steam.

Seeing this, Xuelian gently pushed the plate towards Theresa, looked at Akzhan, and asked directly: "So, what is your purpose in coming here today?"

"Purpose? Haha, what specific purpose do I have for coming here? The Goddess Festival is almost here, and if I don't come a few days in advance, it's bound to be packed! Besides, I came here to see our beautiful and holy Saint Lady sooner rather than later! Does that mean there has to be a specific purpose for meeting one's own family?"

Hearing this, Xuelian couldn't help but turn her head to look at Theresa who was eating happily beside her.

I saw her using a fork to pick up a large piece of fragrant barbecue and chewing it in big mouthfuls. The corners of her mouth were covered with shiny oil stains, and she even stuck out her tongue from time to time to gently lick the delicious sauce left on her lips.

"In that case, I wonder how many days you plan to stay here? If it's longer, I can help you arrange a comfortable place to stay."

Akzhan waved his hands repeatedly and refused, "Oh, please don't bother with your kindness, Your Highness! To be honest, I've always admired a free and easy lifestyle. For adventurers like us, freedom is ingrained in our nature. So, please allow me to wander around this country as I please and experience its unique customs and people!"

Our own saint... Goddess Festival... Walking around...

Through the brief conversation, Xuelian quickly guessed the purpose of Akzhan's visit.

The mentor was still worried about her being alone, but he was unwilling to let the two churches come into direct conflict. It was obviously not appropriate for them to deal with the subsequent matters personally.

Finally, it was decided to send the adventurer Akjan to investigate.

Although Akjan has some connection with the church, he is not completely subordinate to it. He still has some characteristics of a free man and is relatively flexible in his actions, not bound by too many rules and regulations.

As expected, the Church of Judgment finally set its sights on Sunflower and prepared to take action.

Although the report submitted last time was a bit vague in describing the relevant situation, it obviously succeeded in attracting their attention.

"If you'd like to explore the area, I might be able to recommend a few good places. After all, I'm someone who knows a few unique places."

As Xuelian thought about it, she looked at Akzhan, with a hint of expectation and temptation in her eyes.

If I'm not mistaken, Akcan has the same purpose.

"Oh? Really? That's fantastic!" Akzhan said with a bright smile. "I was worried that I'd be wandering around here alone for a long time because I'm unfamiliar with the place."

As he said this, he raised his hand to signal the waiter and ordered a glass of wine.

For Akcan, his love for fine wine is obviously superior to using hot water to warm himself up.

When the rich, fragrant wine slid down his throat and flowed all the way to his stomach, Akzan couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.

He had originally planned to order some more meat to reward himself, but when he glanced across the table, he saw that theresa had almost cleared out all the meat on the plate.

"Waiter, please give us a few more pots of meat." Akzan shouted.

At this time, Theresa also finished the last bite of meat. She wiped the corner of her mouth contentedly, then turned to look at Xuelian who was sitting next to her.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she shook Xuelian's arm vigorously, muttering, "I was here first!"

This is too much. I brought you out to play with good intentions, but you ran off with someone else without telling me. This is pure betrayal!

"The adults are talking, and the children are playing."

Akzan waved his hand helplessly, signaling Theresa beside him not to make trouble.

Look at the Saint of Judgment in front of him. Just by chatting with her for a few words, he can guess the real purpose of his visit almost exactly.

Xuelian said, "You've eaten so much meat, are you thirsty? Go buy me a bottle of drink."

"okay!"

Theresa took the money from Xuelian and ran out happily to buy some drinks.

Watching Theresa's departing figure, Akzhan couldn't help but chuckle, muttering to himself, "Hey, this Saint of Judgment, who's always been called world-weary, has now become so good at making children happy. Wow, this is really eye-opening!"

Xuelian's originally slightly gentle expression instantly returned to her usual cold and indifferent look, which was completely different from the kind tone she had used to treat Theresa just now.

She looked at Akzhan expressionlessly and asked coldly, "How have you considered my proposal? Have you decided to agree?"

"Of course I agree. After all, we were comrades who worked together back then."

"Although it's a little strange for me to say this, the Church of Judgment has its eyes on something."

"Haha, that sounds strange coming from you. They're dragging it out until the Goddess Festival because it's the Goddess of Judgment's festival, and she has a legitimate reason to judge someone. You know, she's got a lot of weird things going on with her right now. And the Judgment Cult is obsessed with power, so it's inevitable that they'll have some weird ideas."

The church was indeed hiding something from him.

Xuelian nodded and said, "If the church takes any action, I will tell you as soon as possible. If you want to contact us, this restaurant is the best place to do it."
