Villain Rescue System - Chapter 174

When Wen Long returned to the hall, it was already dark outside.

Just as she was about to return to the dormitory to rest, the tip of her ear twitched, and she keenly heard the deliberately light footsteps outside the dormitory.

That was not the first time she had heard such a movement.

But many times before, she was sleeping soundly in the dormitory, too sleepy to keep her eyes open, so she didn’t bother to talk to her.

But she had just woken up from the Fengshen Temple, and was in good spirits.

Wen Long simply took advantage of just waking up and still had the energy to go outside the door to have a look.

In order not to scare the snake away, she did not turn on the lights in the dormitory, and quietly leaned against the wall waiting for the person to come in.

It was pitch black outside, but there was still a little bit of faint moonlight smudged in from outside the hall, vaguely reflecting the slender figure who was walking slowly on tiptoe.

Recognizing who the figure was, Wen Long reached out and touched the light switch on the wall.

The dark hall suddenly lit up, and the light in it passed through the wide open door, illuminating the entire outside of the hall clearly.

The sneaky figure froze suddenly, and mechanically turned her head toward Wen Long.

“Good evening,” Wen Long greeted Su Dai with a smile.

Wen Long sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed, hugging a pillow in her arms, looking at Su Dai who was sitting on the edge with a red face because of being caught.

“Where have you been recently?”

“No, not recently, it’s just today…”

Wen Long just smiled and said nothing.

“…”

Su Dai whimpered and turned her back in shame.

She tried to defend herself, “I just followed the instructions in the prophecy book…”

“The prophecy book?”

“Yes, I went out secretly. This is what the prophecy book guided me to do,” Su Dai tried her best to clarify herself, and stretched out her palm, and the booklet-like prophecy book appeared in her palm.

She turned the pages of the book, and pointed to the sentence that was shining with golden light, “Look.”

Wen Long glanced at it.

[On the 20th, at night, please go to the second corridor on the left side of the temple garden.]

“I just followed the guidance of the prophecy book…”

“Yeah.” Wen Long rested her chin on one hand, “So, is there anything there?”

“Was there anything there?”

“No, there’s nothing…” Su Dai blushed unreasonably, but she still hesitated and refused to admit it.

“Oh.” Wen Long tilted her head, her eyes fell on her lips, and she asked with a little concern, “What’s wrong with your lips?”

“!!!”

“There are many mosquitoes on summer nights, especially near the garden. You must have been bitten by a mosquito. Next time, remember to spray some mosquito-repellent citronella water.”

“Um…um, yes, mosquitoes are really annoying.”

Su Dai stood up, then said, “I am going back to rest first, and I will continue to practice the holy arts tomorrow…”

After finishing speaking, before Wen Long could say anything else, she bid her good night in a panic, then shrank her neck and quickly went out the door, and even helped to turn off the lights.

“Pfft!” Wen Long who stayed in the room finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Due to the inability to use phantom power, Wen Long’s progress in learning the holy arts had to be put on hold.

However, Su Dai’s progress was rapid. From the beginning, she only learned one low-level holy art every day, and after one month, she was able to fully master two high-level holy arts in one day.

One was talented and the other was not, that contrast was seen by the people in the temple.

Laughing at Wen Long, a fake saint who couldn’t even learn a single holy art, was already a topic of conversation when they sneaked around in private.

“Ha, did you see her again in the hall today?” In the Shenzi Temple, the lazy servant hid while cleaning the main hall, and said to another servant who passed by with an offering bottle.

“That’s right, Master Yun Li took her to the Shenzi Hall every day, and spent so much time teaching her, but she still didn’t get the hang of it. It is said that Lady Wen Long has never learned a decent holy art!”

They didn’t notice that a light footstep behind them stopped suddenly when they mentioned “Wen Long”.

“Are you still calling her a saint? She’s clearly a fake…Only a genius like Miss Su Dai is the real saint.”

“She is just useless. I don’t know what the priest was—” 

Before the worst words could be said, the two were interrupted by a voice that seemed to be quenching ice, “If you put your mind on focusing on learning holy arts instead of mocking others, maybe you won’t just know low-level holy arts.” 

The two servants were taken aback and hurriedly turned their heads.

Shenzi looked at them with lowered eyelids, his expression was unprecedentedly cold.

They saluted tremblingly, “Master Yun Li.”

“That little bit of holy power is enough for you to live well outside.”

“Master Yun, Master Yun Li!” The servant heard the meaning in his words, and trembled.

Yun Li didn’t even want to see them.

“From today onward, leave the temple.”

“…”

The two men just lowered their heads, not daring to say another word.

The servant wanted to cry but had no tears.

Although he could live well outside, how could he get the same respect as when he worked in the temple?

If they knew it earlier, they wouldn’t have even mentioned her.
