Xuanyue glared at Dumb, who was walking in front of her, and said angrily: "What do you want?"

Dumb glared at her fiercely, suppressed the anger in his chest, and turned to the owner of the steamed bun shop: "I'm really sorry, this is for you, I'll buy the steamed bun just now." He grabbed a handful of gold coins from the monthly payment he had just received and stuffed them into the fat boss's hand. The fat boss was stunned, and when he saw the gold coins in his hand, he was shocked.

"Mr. Mage, a steamed bun doesn't cost so much money. Consider it as a gift from me." Although Dumb, who had changed into a magic robe, was still carrying the heavy Tian Gang Sword on his back, he still did not recognize him. He was just a commoner, how could he dare to offend a mage?

Dumb lifted the cloak on his head and said: "Uncle, it's me, please accept it."

The fat boss was shocked and cried out: "Ah! You, Dumb, how did you become a mage? "

Dumb scratched his head and said: "It's just an ordinary mage. Uncle, you go ahead with your work, I'll be leaving first." He bent down to pick up the steamed bun that Xuanyue had thrown away and left without looking back.

"Hey, hey." Xuanyue called out twice, but Dumb acted as if he didn't hear her and disappeared around the corner of the street. Xuanyue's action of throwing away the steamed bun just now really made Dumb angry.

Xuanyue had been pampered since she was a child. When had she ever suffered such anger? She snorted angrily and chased after him. Dumb had only taken a few steps when he was stopped by Xuanyue. "What are you doing? Don't forget, you promised to be my follower." When she was in the Sorcerers Guild, the reason why Xuanyue insisted on making Dumb her attendant was mainly because it was fun. She felt that the silly boy in front of her was too easy to deceive. She was very lonely alone. Looking for such a attendant, at least there was someone to talk to. In her heart, she never put Dumb in her eyes, just like the nobles to the commoners. However, it was the commoners she looked down on who ignored her because they threw a steamed bun.

Dumb said calmly, "Is there anything else? From now on, I will no longer follow you, and I will no longer be your follower. "

Xuanyue glared at Dumb and said, "You don't mean what you say. You promised to be my follower. Isn't it just a broken steamed bun? "

Dumb looked at her coldly and brushed the dust off the steamed bun. He said, "In my heart, the steamed bun is much more important than you."

Dumb's words deeply hurt Xuanyue's self-esteem. She suddenly became angry and said, "Are you courting death?" She waved the staff in her hand, and five small light bullets suddenly flew towards Dumb.

Dumb's eyes flashed, and a white fighting aura came out of his body, forcibly intercepting the five light bullets. With a puff sound, Dumb stood motionless in the same place. Under the influence of the aura, Xuanyue suddenly trembled and took a step back. The two had just come out of the Sorcerers Guild not long ago, and their magic power had been consumed a lot. It was impossible for them to recover in such a short period of time. Moreover, at close range, a magician of a similar level would absolutely not be able to defeat a warrior.

Xuanyue looked at the fighting aura emitted by Dumb in surprise. That holy aura made Dumb's body look majestic. He was no longer the silly boy she bullied in the Sorcerers Guild. "You, you actually dared to hit me. Do you believe that I won't let my father kill you?"

Dumb's face revealed a look of disgust. He snorted and said, "Then go back and find your father. Why are you pestering me? What kind of ability is it to rely on your parents? I will say it again, from now on, I will no longer be your follower, and I will no longer follow you." After saying that, Dumb strode towards Xuanyue. With a wave of his hand, he pushed her to the side and walked away without looking back.

Xuanyue stood there in a daze. Ever since she could remember, no one had ever treated her like this. Driven by her pride, how could she accept it? "You, you stop right there."

Dumb stopped and raised the steamed bun in his hand without looking back. He said, "Do you know how important steamed buns are to me? Without steamed buns, I would not have been able to live to this age. Without steamed buns, I would not be who I am today. In my heart, steamed buns are equivalent to my life. And you, the young lady of the Holy Holy Hall, just insulted my life. We are even now. " Dumb, who was burning with anger, did not realize that when he was angry, his mind was abnormally clear. He spoke his mind completely and clearly.

"You, you, if you leave, I will die in front of you." Xuanyue knew that at this moment, she could not beat Dumb no matter what, so she could only use her old trick — acting shamelessly.

Dumb's whole body trembled. He turned around to look at Xuanyue who was about to cry, and said, "You are the young lady of the Holy Holy Hall, and your father is the Lord Priest. Why are you pestering a nobody like me? I will not be fooled by you. I do not believe that with your noble status, you will do anything disadvantageous to yourself for a commoner like me. Goodbye, Miss Yue. "

Dumb's cold attitude made Xuanyue's whole body tremble in anger. She said in a trembling voice, "Fine, you don't believe me, do you? If I die, it will be your fault." After saying that, she grabbed the short magic wand in her hands and suddenly stabbed it into her lower abdomen. The end of the magic wand in her hand was a sharp triangular shape. Under the sunlight, it shone with brilliance.

Dumby turned pale with fright. He didn't expect Xuan Yue to be so unyielding. Her actions were obviously using her full strength. In an instant, he pushed the combat energy in his body to the limit. Dumb's body flashed, and he reached out to grab Xuanyue's hands. However, Xuanyue seemed to have made up her mind to die. Moreover, Dumb was quite a distance away from her. When Dumb grabbed her hands, the end of the magic wand had already stabbed into Xuanyue's lower abdomen. With a muffled sound, Xuanyue's body slowly fell down.

Dumb picked up Xuanyue's petite body. The clarity in his mind suddenly disappeared. He tightly held onto Xuanyue's hands, not knowing what to do. He looked at Xuanyue, who had a painful expression on her face.

Not far away from the city, a luxurious carriage was speeding towards the small city under the protection of more than ten warriors in silver armor. These guards were emitting a heavy aura. With one look, one could tell that they were very strong. Inside the carriage, a deep voice suddenly sounded. "Ah! Not good, Yue is injured. Quick, speed up. I have already sensed her position. "

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

Dumb snatched the magic wand from Xuanyue's hand. As soon as the magic wand was pulled out of Xuanyue's body, her white dress was immediately dyed red with blood. Dumb's anger had long been scared away when Xuanyue stabbed the magic wand into him. He activated the vital energy in his body and quickly sealed Xuanyue's meridians, so that she would not lose too much blood.

"Yue, Yue, don't die! I, I will still be your follower, okay? Don't die! "

The pain in her lower abdomen was the first time that Xuanyue had experienced. Although it was very painful, when Xuanyue heard Dumb's call, she felt a sense of revenge. How could she want to die? The magic wand did not hurt her internal organs at all. It was just a superficial wound. Even if Dumb did not stop her, she would still be fine. After all, Xuanyue was a priestess's daughter. Although she did not have much knowledge, it was still very easy for her to use light magic to heal such a small injury. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw Dumb's concerned gaze. "Dumb, who is more important, me or the steamed bun?"

Dumb hurriedly said, "You are important, you are important. Don't talk, I have already sealed your meridians. Let's quickly find a place to heal your injury." Due to the injury, Xuanyue's small pink face became pale. She looked delicate and pitiful. Now, she was no longer a rude young lady in Dumb's eyes.

Xuanyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she cried out, "Oh no, I can feel Dad's aura. Let's go, he must have discovered me when I stabbed myself with the magic wand. Quick, let's go."

Dumb picked up Xuanyue and said, "Then where are we going now? Your injury needs to be checked and bandaged as soon as possible."

Xuanyue thought for a moment and said, "Back to the Sorcerers Guild. That is the only place where it is safer. "

When Keith saw Dumb walking to him with Xuanyue in his arms, his face suddenly turned pale. "You, why are you back again?" Old Huang, who was guarding the door, had gone out to contact the magicians. Now, he was the only one in the whole guild. He had just been praying that he would not meet the little witch Xuanyue again, but before he could finish chanting, Xuanyue and Dumb had appeared in front of him again.

Xuanyue said angrily, "What? Am I not welcome? I am injured, and I want to stay here for two days. How about that? "Although she was asking, her tone was unquestionable.

Keith was shocked. Only then did he see the red patch on Xuanyue's lower abdomen. "Miss, what happened to you? Didn't you just leave? Is there someone in the city who dares to disrespect a magician? Who is so bold as to challenge the dignity of us magicians? I will stand up for you. "

Dumb blushed and was about to explain, but Xuanyue beat him to it. "Don't worry about how I got injured. Find me a place to rest first. If I die, you will have to bear the consequences."

"Okay, okay. Come with me." Keith led them through the inner hall and through the magic on the wall, they came to a room at the back. Although the decorations in the room were not extravagant, it was complete. There was a large double bed with a three-seater sofa next to it. On the other side, there was a table and a few chairs. The inner room was the bathroom.

Dumby carefully placed Mystic Moon on the big bed, then turned to Keiger and said, "Thank you, Master Keiger."

There is no need to thank me. I just hope that you will leave quickly. He smiled bitterly and said, "You rest first. I will get you something to eat later." With that, he turned and walked out.

"Wait." Xuanyue stopped Keith. "I'm warning you, someone will come to the city to find me soon. Don't leak my whereabouts."

Keige was stunned. "Miss, you … you didn't sneak out, did you?"

Xuanyue confidently said, "So what if I sneaked out? Now, I'm not afraid to tell you that my father is one of the four Red-robed Priests of the Church. If he sees that I'm injured, he'll definitely be very angry. If he gets angry, there will usually be very serious consequences. If he finds me here, I will tell him that it was a Water Magician named Keith who injured me. You should know the result. "As she said this, Xuanyue smiled at Keith.

Xuan Yue's smile was as beautiful as a flower that had just bloomed in spring, but in Keith's eyes, it was extremely evil. Cold sweat had already drenched his underwear. He knew very well what the Red Priest represented. Going against a Red Priest was not something that could be resolved with death. Why? Why was that so? Almighty God! I've always been praying to the gods, so why must you torture me like this!? Keith's mind was racing. At this point, there were only two ways to ensure his safety. One was to immediately kill the two people in front of him and then destroy their corpses. Not to mention the strength of that Dumb who could use martial arts, he couldn't live with his conscience. The other way was to do as Xuanyue said and not let anyone know that she was here.

"Alright, I admit defeat. I, Keith, have never done anything bad in my life. How could I meet a little witch like you."

Xuanyue pretended to be surprised. "Hey, how do you know my nickname in the Holy Hall? Do you know me?"

Keith smiled bitterly. "How could I know you? I'll be happy if I never know you. You can rest, I won't disturb you any longer." With that said, he turned around and left the room. He didn't dare to stay here any longer. God knows what Xuanyue would do next. Keith knew that hiding Xuanyue was like hiding a bomb that could explode at any time.

Seeing Keith's expression as he left, Xuanyue smiled happily. Playing tricks on people had always been her favorite thing to do. "Ouch!" Her laughter affected the wound on her abdomen. Xuanyue couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Dumb was startled and said, "Yue, what's wrong? How could you really commit suicide just now?"

Xuanyue coldly snorted and said, "Isn't it because of you? I heard you promise not to leave me and continue to be my attendant. Are you regretting it now?"

Dumb nodded and said, "Yes, I won't leave you. But you can't waste food in the future."

Recalling Dumb's words, Xuanyue asked, "Are steamed buns really that important to you?"

Dumb sighed and gently nodded. "I'll help you bandage it first. It won't be good if the wound worsens." Saying that, he went to untie Xuanyue's skirt. In Dumb's heart, there was no difference between men and women. He just wanted to see if Xuanyue's injury was serious or not.

Although Xuanyue was only 15 years old, she was still a mature girl. She blushed and pushed Dumb's hand away. "What are you doing? You're so annoying. You go out first. I'll do it myself. "

Dumb was startled. "Can you really do it? Let me help you. "

Xuanyue's face turned as red as an apple. "You, you, go out. How can I let you look at a girl's body? I can do it. "

Dumb scratched his head. Obviously, he didn't understand what she meant. He mumbled, "I was the one who bandaged Xiao Mei when she was injured! I can see her body every day. "

Xuan Yue was stunned and asked, "Who is Xiao Mei?"

Dumb said, "Xiao Mei is Uncle Hill's dog! She's also a girl. She's very naughty and always gets injured. "

Xuanyue was almost angered to death by Dumb. He actually compared her to a dog. She threw a light ball at Dumb and said angrily, "Get out of here."

Dumby was shocked. He used his Dou Qi to dissolve the attack of the light bomb. Xuan Yue was injured, so he didn't dare to provoke this young lady again. He hurriedly ran out.

Seeing Dumb close the door, Xuanyue heaved a sigh of relief. She touched her red and hot face and said to herself, "No wonder he's called Dumb. He's so stupid."

Knowing her own injury, Xuanyue carefully took off her dress. Just as she took off the outermost layer, Dumb suddenly poked his head in and said, "If you can't do it yourself, call me."

Xuanyue was embarrassed. She hurriedly closed her dress and said angrily, "Get out. Don't look. Otherwise, I'll die again."

Dumb was shocked. He hurriedly closed the door. He didn't know why, but he felt that Xuanyue looked better when she was blushing than when she was angry. Leaning against the wall outside, Dumby recalled the expression on Xuan Yue's face when she tried to commit suicide. He could not help but feel a lingering fear in his heart. He took out the mantou that Xuan Yue had thrown away and ate it.

Before he finished eating the mantou, Xuanyue's voice came from the room, "Dumb, come in."

Dumb answered and pushed the door open. Xuanyue looked much better. She took off her magic robe and covered herself with a quilt. She stared at him with her big eyes.

"Yue, are your injuries better? Is it serious? "Dumb asked with concern.

Xuanyue said angrily, "I won't die. Come here."

Dumb walked to Xuanyue and said, "Yue, don't be so impulsive in the future. It hurts so much!" As he spoke, he grabbed Xuanyue's little hand. Xuanyue struggled but didn't break free. Just when she was about to get angry, a warm stream of air came from Dumb's hand and nourished the meridians in her body. She blushed. She understood that Dumb meant well, so she didn't say anything.

Dumb activated the vital energy in his body and checked Xuanyue's meridians. Xuanyue's injuries had already been healed by her own healing technique. Of course, Dumb couldn't find anything. Dumb breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm really fine. Yue, how did you heal me?"

Xuanyue looked at Dumb's concerned eyes and felt warm in her heart. She had a better impression of this silly boy. "I'm not going to tell you. I'm fine. Are you uncomfortable? Swear it now. "

"I'm happy that you're cured. Why would I be uncomfortable? Swear? Swear what? "

Xuanyue said, "Swear to be my follower for a year! Otherwise, what if you regret it next time? "

Dumb lowered his head and said, "I, but I …" Mustering his courage, Dumb raised his head and said, "Can you tell me how to swear?"

Looking at Dumb's silly look, Xuanyue giggled and said, "Swear on your steamed buns. Aren't steamed buns the most important thing to you? Learn from me. I swear that from today onwards, I'll be Miss Xuanyue's follower for a year. I won't leave without permission. If I break the oath, I'll never be able to eat delicious steamed buns again. "

"Oh." Dumb nodded and thought for a moment. "I, Dumb, swear that from today onwards, I'll be Miss Xuanyue's follower for a year. If I break the oath, I'll never be able to eat delicious steamed buns again. Is that okay? "

Xuanyue said, "That's fine. That's it. By the way, go out and take a look. If you see someone dressed like a knight and wearing silver armor, come back and tell me immediately. "

Dumb asked, "Yue, your father came to find you. Why don't you go back with him? Is he not nice to you?"

Xuanyue shook her head and said in a low voice, "It's not that he's not nice, but life in the Holy Hall is too boring. It's not as fun as the outside world. When I recover, let's go be a mercenary for a few days, okay?"

Dumby glanced at Xuan Yue and thought to himself, If only I had a father who cared about me, how good would that be! Thinking of his father, he couldn't help but think of the dead Owen. His eyes turned red and he almost cried.

"Dumb, what's wrong?" Xuanyue held Dumb's hand and asked in surprise.

Xuanyue's soft hand made Dumb feel very comfortable. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I'll go see if there are any silver-armored knights you mentioned. " With that, he pushed away Xuanyue's hand, put his bag on the table, and walked out with the Heaven Dipper Sword on his back. The gentleness from when Xuanyue held his hand just now lingered in his heart for a long time.

After Dumb walked out of the room, Xuanyue murmured, "It seems that this silly boy has a lot of secrets! Hehe, digging up other people's secrets is my favorite. "

As soon as Dumb walked into the inner hall, his body suddenly shivered. He circulated the true qi in his body and didn't find anything strange, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

In the inner hall, seven or eight mages were re-casting enchantments on the wall under Keager's command. Some workers were using bricks to repair the big hole Dumb made.

Seeing Dumb come out, Keager came up and whispered, "How is the little witch?"

Dumb shook his head and said, "Archmage Keager, don't worry. Yue should be fine."

Keager sighed in relief and said, "It's good that she's fine. If something happened to her here, I would be in big trouble. Dumb, I can see that you are a good and kind child. But sometimes, being too kind will only lead to being bullied. Did you know? I think it's best for you to stay away from the little witch. You should know about the Red Priest. The Holy Hall is the most powerful force on the continent. If you offend the little witch in the future, I'm afraid your days will be difficult. "

Dumb nodded, "Thank you, Archmage Keager. But Yue is injured, and I promised to be her attendant for a year. I can't go back on my word."

Keeger sighed and said, "You're on your own. You must not tell anyone that Xuan Yue is here with me. Although this is only a remote town of the Red Mongol, the Church is still very powerful. I don't want the Red Priest to find this place. "

"I got it," Dumby replied, then turned around and walked out the door. Before he reached the door, he heard someone shouting outside, "Is Archmage Keager here?" The voice was getting closer and closer. When the last word was said, the inner hall door opened and a person walked in. This person was wearing a white priest robe and looked to be in his fifties. His body exuded a faint holy aura and his face was dignified.

Keager's expression slightly changed as he hurried to greet him with a smile, "I was wondering who it was. So it's Priest Harry. Please come in and have a seat. "

Priest Harry sighed and said, "I don't have time to sit, Keogh! Don't you know that something big has happened? The Red Priest actually came to our small town. "

Keager pretended to be surprised, "What? The Red Priest actually came? What in the world happened? "

Harry shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about the specifics. The moment the bishop arrived, he ordered all the clergymen to look for a person in the city. He said it was a beautiful young lady dressed in white with two braids on her head. Keager, have you seen this person before? "

Keager calmly replied, "I have."

Dumb was startled by Keager's words. Could it be that Archmage Keager was going to reveal Yue's whereabouts?

Harry was overjoyed, "Old friend, quickly tell me. This is a great merit!"

Keager replied, "Not long ago, a girl in white came to take a magic test. She left after obtaining the title of an advanced mage."

Harry furrowed his brows and asked, "Do you know where she went?"

Keager blankly shook his head, "I'm not sure. She seemed to have gone west." The Sorcerers Guild was very close to the west gate. He only said this to draw the Red Priest's attention to the outside of the city.

Harry said, "Alright, I'll quickly go back and tell the Red Priest. Thank you, old friend Keager." With that, he turned and left.

Just as Harry walked out of the inner hall, all the mages in the inner hall, including Dumb, felt their bodies tremble. A surge of vast energy instantly filled the entire Sorcerers Guild. Dumb's body stiffened. He had never felt this kind of pressure, even when he was facing Owen. The powerful holy aura gave people a feeling that they couldn't resist. The workers who were in the middle of construction were suffocated by the holy aura. They all knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.

The door opened and Harry walked back. He only glanced at Keager before bowing to the side. With a pious expression, he respectfully said, "The Red Priest has arrived."

Keith's body trembled, and he looked at Dumby. The other magicians all gathered behind Keith, at a loss as to what to do. Although these mages were usually the most respected in the small city, none of them dared to be the slightest bit presumptuous in front of one of the four Red Priests of the Holy Hall.

A group of silver figures walked in. Dumb took a closer look and saw that they were the silver-armored warriors that Xuanyue had described. Their light armor shone brightly, and they held helmets in their left hands. Their expressions were indifferent. As soon as they entered, they separated to the sides. A faint glow of combat energy flowed continuously on their silver armor. On the left chest of each of them was a golden sword-shaped emblem.

As soon as the silver-armored warrior stood still, two white silhouettes floated in. Compared to Priest Harry, their holy aura was much denser. Both of their bodies were completely covered in white priest robes embroidered with gold. The white-robed priest on the left, from her graceful figure, could be seen to be a woman. They each held a wooden staff in their hands. At the top of the staff was a transparent, round gem that emitted a milky white gentle light. The strong holy aura instantly filled the inner hall as they stepped in.

Under the shroud of the divine aura, Dumby felt a chill in his chest. The Hell King Sword's demonic aura seemed to want to break out of his body. He jumped in fright and hurriedly circulated his True Qi to completely envelop the Hell King Sword's demonic aura. A faint white light emitted from Dumb's body. The female priest glanced at Dumb. What Dumb saw was a pair of clear blue eyes. The gentle gaze made him feel very comfortable, as if his whole body had relaxed.

The tall figure in red was the last to enter the inner hall. He was also wearing a priest's cloak, but it was completely red. The cloak was embroidered with gold, and there was a huge magic hexagram on the chest area. The moment the man in red entered, the holy aura of the two priests in white immediately increased. The two moved to the side, and the priest in red slowly took a few steps forward. With his hands in his sleeves behind his back, he slowly raised his head. Two cold bolts of lightning flashed under the priest's robe. In just an instant, all the magicians, including Dumby, felt as if they had been completely seen through. It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

"Who is the person in charge here?" A deep, magnetic voice came from the red priest's robe.

Keith's body trembled. He took a step forward and said respectfully, "Greetings, esteemed Lord Cardinal. I am the branch president here."

The cardinal returned the greeting and said, "God bless you. Mr. Branch President, I can feel my daughter's aura nearby. If I'm not wrong, she should be here with you, right? "

There was no way Keegan could hide anything from the Cardinal, so he only hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.

Dumb was startled, but then he thought about it. These people wouldn't harm Xuanyue anyway, so it should be fine. The priest in red seemed to have noticed the change in his heart. He turned slightly and said to Dumb, "Authentic holy fighting aura. Not bad. It's not easy to have such achievements at such a young age. A fire Mage with holy fighting aura. Interesting. You should know where my daughter is. Take me there. "The cardinal's tone was slow, but it contained an unquestionable majesty.
