229 The Church of Healing is Playing A Big Game of Chess (II)
âWhy did they use the Professional Alliance to test my combat data in advance?â
âIsnât that a waste of time?â
âIf they want to kill me, theyâll do it themselves. Two level 50 Professionals are terrifyingly powerful, and they can leave as they please. No one can stop them.â
âWhy would they leave this opportunity to those low-leveled otherworldly creatures?â
âWhat if it backfired on them?â
He suddenly felt as though the water seemed deeper than it seemed.
âIs the Church of Healing playing a big game of chess?â
There was a long silence between them.
âActually,â The mayfly witch suddenly said, âYou donât need to think too hard about this.â
âSince the people from the Church of Healing didnât do it themselves, it means that they have some concerns. They either want to use the Professionals from the eight planes to test your combat data, or they canât kill you with their own hands.â
âNow that the assassination has failed, they canât do anything to you with the protection of the Professional Alliance.â
âAishâ¦â Lin Ye sighed, âHow can I not think too much?â
âTheyâre not only targeting me now but also the rest of the human race.â
âIf we are not careful, the front line will collapse, and the Black Beast Alliance army will break into our territory. They will kill countless of our people like the dark wave incident.â
âOh, little brother~â The mayfly witch blinked her eyes playfully.
âYou donât have to beat around the bush,â
âIf you want Big Sisterâs help, just say so. Although I canât mobilize the power of our planeâs countries, itâs not a problem to mobilize my own witch clan!â
Lin Ye couldnât say a word.
The mayfly witch gently stroked her hair.
âIn fact, even though I havenât seen you for four months, Iâve been paying attention to your little girlfriend and your plane world.â
âAnd the Black Beast Allianceâs dimensional army has never been able to break through the humanâs dimensional line of defense. Surely you donât think⦠that was all thanks to your human powerhouses?â
âHuh?â
âArenât you going to come and thank your Big Sister?â
Lin Ye was left speechless for a few seconds before he regained his bearings.
âNo. Although Iâm very grateful for your actions, canât you change how you address me?â
âItâs really weird for you to call me âLittle Brotherâ, especially in that tone,â
âI asked you to change it before, but you refused and kept calling me that. Iâm used to it, so Iâll let it go.â
âNow, in front of Su Mumu, you call me Little Brother and even dragged her into the water, calling her Little Girlfriend⦠Do you like to call others âLittleâ so much?â
âSo my suggestion is, you might as well give yourself a name, Big Bear.â
Although he knew that the mayfly witch wouldnât change her mind, Lin Ye still couldnât help but say, âPlease call me by my name.â
âDonât call me Little Brother anymore.â
âAlso, Su Mumu isnât my girlfriend. Donât call her Little Girlfriend. Please call her by her name, okay?â
âThis is the most basic courtesy.â
âI donât care.â The mayfly witch turned her head arrogantly, âIâm from a higher civilization.â
âIf youâre not satisfied with how I address you, you can fight me one-on-one. And until you can defeat me and prove your strength, Iâll call you whatever I want.â
The mayfly witch looked at Su Mumu, whose face was burning with embarrassment, with a smirk.
âThat includes your Little Girlfriend. If you win, Iâll call her whatever you want me to call her. Iâll definitely follow your requestâ
Lin Ye was quiet as he let her challenge sink into his mind.
âBeat you?â
âYour level is displayed as three question marks. Even the system canât measure it. Youâre at least level 100, and you want me to beat you?â
âForget it.â
âSince youâve taken the initiative to help me twice, Iâll let you go.â
âYou can call me whatever you like.â
After a pause, Lin Ye looked at the mayfly witch.
âIn other words, other than coming here to get the âfinal resultâ from the inheritance trial, youâre here to inform me that the people from the Church of Healing have their eyes on me and to warn me to be careful of them?â
âYep,â The mayfly witch unabashedly admitted, âIâm here to help you, Little Brother.â
âAre you touched?â
He ignored her and asked another question, âThen, can you help me get rid of the people sent by the Church of Healing that were sent to observe me?â
âThatâs impossible.â The mayfly witch replied without pausing to think, âI canât beat them. At most, I can hold them back. If I go too far, theyâll destroy the witch clan that Iâve worked so hard to cultivate in just a few days.â
âI donât want all my years of hard work and effort to go to waste.â
âDidnât you say that Su Mumu is the âLucky Starâ of other advanced civilizations?â Lin Ye asked.
âJust like the Black Beast Alliance, we can form an alliance of advanced civilizations and destroy the base of the Church of Healing. Isnât that just whatâs all there is to it?â
âAre you sure about that?â The mayfly witch glanced at him, âDo you want me to expose the existence of the Bionic Tear?â
âOnce the word spreads, even if the other advanced civilizations agree that the Church of Healing is doing something wrong, they might not dare to go against them. Instead, they will come and stare at your Little Girlfriend every day, waiting for the world of Eldon to appearâ¦.â
âBesides,â
âThe Church of Healingâs current target is you, not your Little Girlfriend. If the higher civilizations want to protect her, they only need to take her away from you.â
âThey wonât protect someone whoâs of no value to them and may even affect their status.â
âThey might even help the Church of Healing to backstab you.â
Lin Ye squinted his eyes.
âThen why did you come to help me?â
âI donât believe that youâre just trying to get information on a Godslayer-level reward without even knowing what it is.â
The mayfly witch chuckled, âDo you even need to think about this?â
âOf course itâs to invest in a potential stock like you in advance!â
âI donât care about the Hive-like Godkiller reward at all. Itâs just an excuse that I can give you.â
âOh.â
âThereâs another reason.â
âYou remind me of my younger brother.â
âBoth of your personalities and features are similar too. Both of you have a lot of secrets you keep close to your heart and refuse to tell anyone. You prefer to keep your problems to yourself and would rather bear it alone.â
âSince you think Iâm your brother, then help me kill those two level 50 Church of Healing members who follow me every day.â Lin Ye said.
âIf it were you, you can crush them like youâre press ants,â
The mayfly witch revealed a âkindâ smile, âHehe.â
âStop fantasizing.â
âAlthough I like you, Iâm not willing to give up everything for you.â
âAs for that Little Girlfriend of yours, she went against everyoneâs wishes and ventured deep into the dangerous Hive-like World alone to find you. She bet her future on you, and yet, sheâs still not officially a member of the family?â
Lin Ye and Su Mumu couldnât say anything.
Seeing this, the mayfly witch helplessly shrugged her shoulders and sighed. âForget it. Itâs better for you young people to deal with your own matters.â
âI wonât disturb you two anymore.â
âBye.â
As she spoke, the mayfly witchâs clone took out a Returning Bone and crushed it into countless energy light spots. Then, she quickly retreated from the Hive-like area, not giving Lin Ye a chance to stop her.
Howeverâ¦
Lin Ye didnât need to keep her anymore.
The mayfly witch had clearly expressed her stance.
She would help Lin Ye and the Human Professional Alliance to the best of her ability as an investment for creatures from a higher civilization to creatures from a lower civilization.
However, she refused to spend her resources for her investment and would not take the risk to go head to head with the terrifying Church of Healing.
This meant thatâ¦
As long as the Church of Healingâs goal was always on Lin Ye and not conquering the human world, then, the mayfly witch would secretly help the Professionals at the front line to resist the invasion of the Black Beast Allianceâs army and give Lin Ye enough time to grow and develop.
The only thing Lin Ye needed to worry about now was the next round of assassinations from the Black Beast Alliance and the unpredictable members of the Church of Healing.
Would they suddenly attack him?
âAs expected, I think itâs better for me to go to Yananâs realm as soon as possible,â
âThe Moon Goddessâ¦â
âI have to figure out what sheâs planningââ
As he was thinking, Su Mumu interjected adorably, âWhat did she just say?â
âWhat Church of Healing? What is the Black Beast Alliance? What assassination, what advanced civilizationâs Lucky Star? I donât understand a single thing.â
(.?_?)
âYou donât understand?â Lin Ye turned to look at her.
âWell, nevermind,â
âLetâs take down the Hive-like Boss first.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhen we return to the main world tonight, Iâll slowly tell you the whole story. Anyway, with your current strength and identity, itâs better for you to know these things.â
