She would figure out a way to get up there herself.
Skadi turned around and was startled.
Her hands were pressed against the stone block, and her face was
directly facing Cillianâs belly button.
As she slowly looked up, her eyes met a cold, handsome face.
Cillianâ¦
Skadiâs scalp tingled as she hurriedly sank to the bottom of the water
again.
However, when she sank beneath the water, she saw Cillianâs bare
legs.
As well asâ¦
Oh my god!
Skadi shut her eyes. Her heart was racing.
An unknown period of time later, Skadi floated to the top of the water.
She had gone unconscious from holding her breath for so longâ¦
Cillian operated his energy center and expelled a breath of cold air
from his mouth.
He waved a hand and summoned the clothes hanging from a nearby
tree to him.

After he put on his clothes, he took Skadi out of the water and jumped toward the mountain peak.
Skadi was woken up by the sound of wind whooshing past her ears.
She realized she was lying in Cillianâs arms.
Cillian scaled the mountain quickly.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the top of the mountain.
Skadi closed her eyes, pretending she was still unconscious.
She thought to herself, âCillian will probably begin giving me CPR now, right?
Cillian placed Skadi on a flat rock.
Skadiâs heart raced. However, even after waiting for a long while,
Cillian did not give her CPR.
She sneakily opened an eye. Cillian had vanished.
Lloyd took the young Path practitioner to Quiet Winds Church ain
halls.
There, he bumped into Caine speaking to several other practi
while having tea.

Lloyd roared, âWho deactivated the Mountain Shield Formation?â
Caine said calmly, âI did!â
The other switch was in a terrible state of decay, and he had spe the whole day repairing it.

Thankfully, the energy stone inside the formation had not shattered
yet. Otherwise, the Mountain Shield Formation could never be
activated ever again.
He felt like he had done Quiet Winds Church a massive favor.
Lloyd pointed a finger at Caine and yelled, âYou bastard! How dare
you go against the churchâs orders?! How are you going to make up
for this?â
Caine said loftily, âYou and Cillian activated the Mountain Shield
Formation without getting our consent and wasted Quiet Wind Churchâs resources. We arenât even holding you and Cillian
accountable for that, but here you are interrogating us?â
Lloyd sneered. âIâll have someone replace you as the third elder once
theyâre qualified to do so, Caine Twilight!â
Caine took a sip of tea before he chuckled and said, âThatâll be
entirely dependent on your skillsâ¦â
He had four other elders on his side, and most of the practitioners at
Quiet Winds Church obeyed him. Why should he be afraid of Lloyd
and Cillian when they did not have as much power?
Lloyd turned to the other elders and asked coolly, âSo, looks like
youâre all on the third elderâs side?â
âQuiet Winds Churchâs earnings have taken a nosedive after Cillian
assumed his position, Lloyd. That makes it difficult to convince the
masses!â
âEver since Cillian took charge, he first abolished all ticketing charges
and then made all services free. Then, he created a TikTok account
Chapter 829
and donated all the money he got from posting there to charity!â
âYou might be famous now, but have you ever thought about how we and the one thousand disciples at Quiet Winds Church are going to feed and clothe ourselves?â
The fifth elder spoke up. He always became huffy whenever he brought up this topic with the third elder and the others.
The sixth elder sighed and added, âWe grew up together, Lloyd. When have we ever gone against Cillian since he assumed his position? Arenât we sacrificing our lives for the sake of Quiet Winds Churchâs honor by protecting the warden?â
Lloyd sneered. âSo, you donât think Cillian deserves to be the principal?â
The seventh elder spoke up, âCillianâs character is not sufficiently collected. Quiet Winds Church will collapse under his leadership!â
Lloyd scoffed angrily. âI know.what you mean. Youâre just trying to get Caine to become the principal instead. Let me make this clear, though. As long as Iâm alive, Caine can continue dreaming about becoming the principalâ¦â
Thunder crashed loudly outside as Lloyd completed his senten
It was as if even God was on his side.
